I don't think I've posted about this here yet. If I have, my apologies.

I'm organizing a massive virtual book tour for my forthcoming novel. Basically, I'm looking for people who have book/reading/writing related blogs who would be willing to let me contribute a guest post sometime between March 2011 and November 2011. I did this for my first book (a chapbook called Charactered Pieces) and it was a ton of fun (for a nerd like me).

Hell, even if your blog isn't lit related, I'd still offer a few words.

More info is available here: http://www.calebjross.com/2010/10/stranger-will-blog-tour/

If you know of anyone who might be interested, please, don't hesitate to throw obnoxiously shove this post in his/her face.

Awesome. You'll hear from me in the next few months.

Tyler Knight, great idea. I just sent him an email.

College will do that. I understand.

If you ever get back into blogging, don't forget me.

But it's still kind of new so i don't get a lot of views yet. Might not be worth it.

Every time someone makes a thread like this it reminds me that I DO have a couple blogs that I keep forgetting I had. If I've got them on a good regular basis by the time you need it, sure.

I have in my notes that I sent an email to you on 10/8, but actually, I don't think I did. I don't have your email written down, so I'm not sure how I would have. Anyway, yeah, I'd love to make a post (when you said earlier in this thread that you didn't blog much, I thought you were referencing the palsy blog, which I feared would not fit with the tour idea).

No worries. Few views are still views. I have you on my list. Thanks!

Yes : http://anthonydavidjacques.com

I even own my own name now. Weird business, buying your name from someone else.

Simply, anyone who comments on every blog post, will get a package

The blog tour has officially started. The second post (of around 60) went live today. This is a special post, so I want to make sure everyone (who cares) is aware.

Today’s post, over at Big Other, outlines how you can receive a “groupie package” (ewwww) just for commenting on other people’s blogs. Simply, anyone who comments on every blog post, will get a package containing the following (depending on how many people qualify, I may have to adjust the packages slightly…but know that I have 5 copies of the STD book itching a hole on my bookshelf).

  1. A VERY GRAPHIC PHOTO FILLED book about sexual disease called Color Atlas and Synopsis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Seriously, this book makes me queasy.
  2. A used t-shirt from the 1999 Goo Goo Dolls Dizzy Up the Girl tour. Why? Because I can’t go on living with this thing in my closet.
  3. Cecada’s debut EP, Fog at Midnight. This one, unlike the Goo Goo Dolls t-shirt, is not ironic and is actually an incredible album. I’m just sharing the wealth with this item.
  4. A paperback copy of Stranger Will, possibly slathered in my own DNA, definitely slathered in a personal inscription
  5. An 11” x 16” poster from the 1970 movie “I Am a Groupie."

The groupy thing is a very cool idea. Great way to bring traffic to yourself and all the hosters.
