As a reader, I'm always on the lookout for a great new book. And I often find fabulous recommendations on blogs. So we're going on Tour in July. A blog tour that is. Each day we'll post a new stop (blog) on our tour so that all your readers out there can stop by and take a look.

Why should you put my blog on the blog tour? Hmm... Because I'm a nice person and I need people to visit my blog occasionally? :)
What makes it unique? I've actually have several blogs (non-romance related) at blogspot already, but my single title blog is located on Amazon Connect. That's different from most. :)
Duh! I hit send before I finished giving you all the info you asked for! :)
My blog doesn't really have a name--it's just Cynthianna Appel's blog at Amazon Connect
and it's located at

I write primarily contemporary romance/romantic-comedy, but my alter-ego has branched out into sf/paranormal and erotic-romance.
I've started another authors blog for my alter-ego Celine Chatillon... she writes erotic-romance with sf/paranormal and/or contemporary elements.
The blog's name is "Celine's Dreams". It's unique I guess because this is my first blog for Celine and so it might be a fun blog to tour for readers to get to know her better.
oops! I did it again. The URL is http://celinesdreams.blogspot.com
Hi! I'm a new-ish writer for Changeling Press (which, if you know Changeling, you know means "steamy"!) My website is Darker Desires (http://www.darkerdesires.com), and my blog's of the same name (http://darkerdesires.blogspot.com) I'd love to see my blog on your tour!
Each week, I post the new discount coupon codes for Changeling, plus of course my own news, cover art, contest and new free story notifications, and, occasionally, a blog-only contest!
And, of course, every once in a while I just ramble on for the heck of it.
I hope you'll come visit!

I'd love to be on your tour! My blog is Shelli Stevens, A little bit of Laughter and a Whole Lot of Spice.
I tend to have crazy stories and even crazier pics. Plus I'll talk about my life, and my struggles and success as a writer!
I am an author who posts regularly. It has recently been redesigned and shows my work, upcoming releases, mini-contests I hold, links to my website, and a large number of authors blogs and sites that I highly recommend!
I'm sorry, I didn't list everything you requested. My name is Ann Cory, the title of my blog is Ann Cory's Aphrodisiacs for the Mind. http://anncory.blogspot.com
Thank you,
Ann Cory
Dang I forgot my links. ;) Deleted the first post so you don't have to hunt for the rest of it lol!
I'd love to be on your book tour, too! My blog is Loribelle Hunt, Romance On The Edge. I write suspense, military, paranormal, and erotic romance.
The blog is where I post all my news on what's coming out, contests, and what I'm working on. I also post regularly on the crazy things my kids do and just writing in general.
My second blog is Love, Lust, and Other Oddities. It's the group blog of seven Cobblestone Press authors. We try to have a new post up everyday on topics ranging from working at home kids to eye candy. *g* Gotta have that. ;)

Hello! I'd like to be on your blog tour, too.
I write everything from contemporary erotic romance to paranormal chick-lit and my blog is unique because I post daily about my writing, work, and tragic love life. I try to keep my posts interesting and funny. I also offer crazy weekly quizzes in my Sunday Funnies section.
My blog is called Crystal Jordan: Diary of a Wannabe Romance Writer(However, I recently sold to Cobblestone Press, so I guess I'm a not-so-wannabe anymore)
http://crystaljordan.blogspot.com
Hope to see you stop by!
You should visit my blog, because I periodically post pics of hot nearly nekkid men! I mean what other reason is there to visit a blog?
I'm Vivi Anna, erotic/romance and paranormal author for Kensington Aphrodisia, Avon Red, and recently contracted to write for Silhouette NOCTURNE.
I call my blog Vivi's Vixen Blog, and it's address is http://www.vivianna.net/blog
I have a rep for being very naughty, and quite the Bad Girl, so I think everyone should visit me just for the hell of it!
I'm Cassidy McKay, and my first book is coming out through Mardi Gras Publishing on August 1st, 2006! While I'm a new blogger, I'm a veteran chatter and never shut up. I'd love to have some people come and visit my blog and post comments... ok, nice comments. ;)
Excerpts, daily life, fun, twisted ramblings, contests, book giveaways, etc. will be coming soon to THE BLOG. Come join the fun!
I'm an erotic paranormal and contemporary romance novel, with time travel, paranormal, and just plain odd books in the works! I have fun in my books as well as passion--consider my first book "Sometimes Murphy Wins", about Murphy's Law and the havoc he causes for romance...

I'd love for you and your friends to come for a visit and sit a spell. :)
I've posted several articles for beginning writers and newly published authors in my blog. I talk about the makings of my books.
I keep my readers up-to-date on my daily life including my taekwondo class (my kids and I graduate to camo belt tomorrow. I'm pumped!), the movies I see, how my daughter's pitching lessons are going (she's up to 39 mph now!), and just have a lot of fun.
My blog is called "Hopeless Romantic" but really, I'm a very HopeFUL romantic.
I write for Ellora's Cave and New Concepts Publishing. As of this coming Wednesday, I'll have 20 books published. As of August 2006, I'll have 21 books published. I write primarily comedy romantica, time-travel romantica, some straight contemporary romantica, and a couple vampire romanticas. Oh! And futuristic space saga romanticas. I'm a frustrated Trekkie, and a Pirate's of the Caribbean wanna be. :)
Come on over and we'll have fun!

Great historical blog. Lots of different authors & guest authors.

I'd love to be on your blog tour!
My name is Karen Dindia, and I just sold my first contemporary romantica book to Cobblestone Press under the name Karen Erickson.
I write contemporary romance, the steamier the better. I occasionally post excerpts, and once I have a release date, I will hold contests, etc.
My blog's name is Telling Stories, and is about the trial and tribulations of being a writer, a stay at home mother and a general crazy person. Oh, and I occasionally post pictures of hot guys.
It's located at: http://kdid210.blogspot.com
My name is Gail Dayton, and I write fantasy for Luna: the One Rose trilogy-- The Compass Rose and The Barbed Rose have been released so far. (I also write historical fiction and paranormal/fantasy romance.)
My blog's name is Dreaming in Daylight, I post once a week, but honestly, I have a bad tendency to forget, and of course, sometimes I post more often. I talk about the writing and about my really boring life in a very small West Texas town and about books--mine and those I read. Um--if I post pictures at my blog, they're usually of stuff I've done/made lately (the Loudest Shirt in Texas) or my flowerbeds or local sights & wildflowers. Oh, and it's located at http://magysty.blogspot.com
July 4th is coming up--our town does it up big every year, and I usually write about it... Anyway, I'd be honored if y'all stop by on your tour.
Hi, there! My name is Jessica Matthews and I run the Broken Heart Vamps MySpace and Blog. I don't know how the hell I got stuck with this particular duty because everything technology freaks me out. I STILL can't get the damned PDA to work right and do NOT get me started about the fancy cell phone assigned to me by the Consortium. Uh ... what were we talking about?
Right. The blog. Michele Bardsley, who's a human drone (though we Consortium vampires aren't supposed to have drones, so I have to call her "an author of fiction") said I should come over and put in my blog 'n stuff. Y'see, her version of our little town and what happened last summer is coming out in September. It's called I'M THE VAMPIRE, THAT'S WHY and she seems to think promoting it is something I should do.
Well, anyway, I hope you include us on your tour because God knows I don't want to hear Michele whine anymore about "promotion" and "sell-through" and "never selling another book because I suck, suck, suck." (She doesn't mean that in the same way I do ... because for a vampire, to suck is a good thing.)
Thanks!
Our group blog for "Night Whispers Authors" is an eclectic collection of fourteen authors from several different publishers, including Ellora's Cave and Loose Id, joined together with a decidedly erotic bent and a touch of the paranormal posting about writing inspiration, their latest books and reviews, contests, news of their lives and an excerpt or two to whet your appetite (plus the occasional naughty picture). My name is Jeanne Barrack. I write erotic paranormal/fantasy romance for Loose Id. Our blog's name is simply the name of our group - "Night Whispers Authors" and our blog address is http://nightwhispersauthors.blogspot.com/
My blog should be on this tour because I offer unconventional romances to readers who maight not otherwise know my writing exists. I offer diversity and entertainment to readers. I write manlove erotic romances for women, a blend of sensual lovemaking and heartwarming romance between two passionate lovers who just happen to be men. My name i sLaura Baumbach, my blog is called Sensually Wicked Manlove. It can be viewed here:http://sensualwriter.blogspot.com/ http://www.laurabaumbach.com

My name is Crystal Inman. The blog's title is Chrys' World. The address is http://chryscat.blogspot.com
And I write Contemporary, Time Travel, Paranormal, and Erotic Romance.

Hi! I'm Mary Winter, and my blog is Indulging My Passion...Mary Winter's Blog. The address is http://www.marywinter.com/blog.html
And why should you visit my blog? You never know what I might post. From information about my books, new contests and prizes, and random thoughts that cross my mind from pictures of storm clouds outside my house, to my pets, or even sexy horse feed ads.
I hope you decide to include me on your tour. Thank you!
First up, thanks for coming up with this terrific idea.
My blog covers a slice (a good-sized at that) of India, as represented by its writers. It's also the venue where I share the process of writing my debut book on American slang and colloquialisms.
The URL:
http://athomewriting.blogspot.com/
Why my blog:
I discuss writing, books and movies I like, travel and try to give my blog readers a little taste of New Zealand at the same time.
Name: Shelley Munro
Blog Name: Shell's Diary
Address: http://shelleymunro.bravejournal.com/
What I write: I write sensual books for Medallion Press and hot and spicy erotic romance for Ellora's Cave and New Concepts Publishing.
Thanks so much for considering me. This is an awesome idea :)
I'd love to be included in your blog tour directory. Your audience probably doesn't know about my blog, since I just started it up this Friday!
My stories are all fantasy / paranormal romantica, for Ellora's Cave Publishing. Since January, I've had four titles go into print and there are another three on the way. I write as Liddy Midnight and collaborate as Annalise, although only Liddy blogs.
My blog will feature chatter about things I'm doing, my four rescued cats and what I've learn about socializing stray or feral cats, what I'm writing, and I plan to have some polls about writing and stories through which readers can give helpful feedback to authors. (As in, what don't you see enough of?)
There are a few articles for writers on my site, and jigsaw puzzles, contests (to win the loaded, book-themed charm bracelets I make - and who doesn't need more jewelry?), a photo gallery, and crossword puzzles yet to come.
Having a few comments and seeing anyone is actually reading my blog will motivate me to keep at it. LOL I'm so glad I learned about this, because I'm always looking for new authors and interesting blogs.
My blog is at http://liddymidnight.blogspot.com and my website is http://www.liddymidnight.com
I can't wait for this tour to start!
Hugs,
Liddy
