Chloe Neill's Blog, page 125

What would you like to see on this blog?

Hi, folks! In the interest of making your stops at Chez Chloe more interesting, I thought I'd pose a reader question: What would you like to see (more of) on this blog?

- More instructional* stuff about writing?
- More book teasers?
- More stuff about Chloe and her life?
- More random goodness?
- More recipes?
- More news and info about Chicago?
- More interviews with CV or DE characters?

Vote on these suggestions, or offer up other ideas in the comments.

Thanks!
