Wednesdays with Joanne ... on Friday?

Hi guys,

Been caught up in a bit of web trouble. Sorry for the posting delay.

I'm trying to find time each day to "surf the blogs" and find out what's what. I have learned that apparently there's a whole new category of us out there: bloggers and non-bloggers. If one dives into blogging, one should commit to weekly, if not daily postings. And these postings need to be substantial, or at least, gritty and informative. Then, if one decides to take the plunge into the blogging pool, one should link to other blog sites, share information, and even set up interviews, and blog tours. Whew! See why I'm still overwhelmed at the prospect of blogging?

That being said...

I'm still going to be Wednesday's Child here, and do my best to entertain, inform, and hook you on historical romance; especially historical romance set in the West. Hey, there are so many talented, successful, historical romance writers here in Colorado. Joan Johnston kindly gave me an author quote for my upcoming romance, A...My Name's Amelia, and I met Sandra Dallas at the recent Women Writing the West Conference, where her book, New Mercies, took top prize. Isn't name-dropping the best! (network-speaking, that is) I met another amazing author there as well, Harriet Rochlin.

There are three Romance Writers of America chapters in Colorado: Heart of Denver, Colorado Romance Writers, and Pikes Peak Writers. I'm a member of CRW, living 2 hrs away in the mountains. A new member, I've run into some old friends and am making new ones! Couldn't ask for a better support group, or writing resource.

I'm gearing up for a signing at B&N in Denver this Sunday, and a booktalk/signing at one of our local libraries on Monday. I hope to meet other writers here in Grand County. WE ARE NOT ALONE!

I'll be back soon.

Joanne
