Pay It Forward, Baby!
I'm going to introduce you to three AMAZING bloggers who I think you'd enjoy following. Once you're done visiting them, you can check out the Linky List of everyone else participating in the blogfest and find even more people out there in the blogosphere!
I have a theme going on with my three choices and it is self-publishing! I don't think I've ever made it a secret that I think it is absolutely wonderful that authors now have practically unlimited choices in getting their books out there. Every avenue has its own difficulties, though, and I think it's particularly hard for self-pubbers to get exposure. So! Here are some GREAT bloggers who have published their own wonderful books!
Check them out!
Kate Ellison @ The Southern Scrawl
Kate has two books out right now! I've read one of them (The Curse Girl) and have the other on my TBR list. She is an extremely talented writer with a very cute and hilarious blog. If you like humor with drawings, this is the blog for you. :)
Charlie Pulsipher @ Notice Your World
Yet another hilarious blog with pictures! (I think there might be another theme in all this ;) )
Charlie has recently published a sci-fi/fantasy mix called The Crystal Bridge. If you like dragons mixed with science, you might want to check this one out.
Guido Henkel @ Guido Henkel
If you like horror or need help in your self-publishing career, this is the blog to check out. Guido has published many of his own horror novels (Jason Dark Series) and spends much of his blogging time helping others. Definitely check him out.

For Those Who Love Blogging
I love blogging. I really do. I know it may seem like I don't based on my limited posting over the last few months, but I swear it's one of my favorite things to do.
I've met some amazing people through blogging and I've learned more about the publishing industry than I ever would have without this social media. I can honestly say I would never have been published had I not started blogging. It's true. Kate found out about my book because I'd commented on a post on her blog and she followed me back to mine.
And I'm positive others owe their success to blogging as well.
So if you're one of those people who LOVES blogging (maybe you've been doing it for years, or maybe you're just starting out), I have a blogfest to tell you about.

The rules are simple. You sign up on the linky-do and blog this Friday, listing three blogs you absolutely love and would love other people to know about.
Pay it forward and show some love. I know I will!

Starcrossed, by Josephine Angelini
First, I just want to say I know I've been a very bad blogger lately. I keep starting the week with the idea that I'll post MWF, but it doesn't ever work out. At the very least, I've decided I'm going to devote some time to visiting some of my favorite blogs again. Hopefully, when the first draft writing phase is over, I'll have a bit more time to blog like I used to. Also, I am most definitely planning on doing something to celebrate hitting 300 followers. It will happen soon! :)
Now, enjoy the book trailer for Starcrossed, by Josephine Angelini!!
My Thoughts:
I like the music, but some of the pictures were a little cheesy. The story sounded intriguing, though. I would probably be more likely to pick it up now than I was before I saw the trailer. However, I don't think it's one of those trailers that makes me go "I must buy this NOW!!!"
What about you, dear readers? Did this trailer work for you?
