I don't know your blog readers. Perhaps you also have blog readers who like reading your blog but not your books? There could be very many varying reasons why someone reads your blog. I know that I read the blogs of very many different types of authors, but never read their books because they're not my cup of tea. So really, it's up to you, and totally up to you. Please don't feel pressured. For what it's worth, it's not a murder mystery. If you take a gander at my website you'll be able to find a blurb there. :-)Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-26315046890696143572014-07-02T23:29:22.819+03:002014-07-02T23:29:22.819+03:00I'm thinking about this ... you've a reall...I'm thinking about this ... you've a really good idea here ... my problem is, would your book fit enough with my writing that my blog-readers would be able to relate to both of us? Would my reputation undermine yours, or vice versa? White Lady looks like it's a murder/mystery with a feisty female lead - mine are more like family story with social comment ... so, Joanna Trollope meets ... what's your take on this?Mari Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606125048044373268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3315861630765119669.post-8022262153119109232014-07-01T07:52:46.881+03:002014-07-01T07:52:46.881+03:00It's a brilliant idea.
