J.C. Mells | 32 comments Hello fellow authors!

I am editing this original post of mine, as I have filled all my slots but there will be a continuous flow of authors participating in this Character Blog Hop so all interested should still post their email/contact info here.

Here are the details of the "Meet My Character Blog Tour"
If interested, post in this thread - then once you have taken a slot in the Tour, DELETE your post (so that others visiting the thread don't contact you to fill their slot). Then re-visit the thread to enlist other authors keen to participate.

MEET MY CHARACTER BLOG TOUR

This tour highlights a main character from one of your WIP or soon to be published work. The person who invites you will have a set day to post. You will post ONE WEEK after that. The authors you tag will post one week after you - so on and so on. To find authors to tag, visit this thread. Remind the author, once they've agreed to participate, to delete their post here so that others don't try and recruit them too.


Here are the questions to answer about your main character from a WIP (work in progress):

1) What is the name of your character? Is he/she fictional or a historic person?

2) When and where is the story set?

3) What should we know about him/her?

4) What is the main conflict? What messes up his/her life?

5) What is the personal goal of the character?

6) Is there a working title for this novel, and can we read more about it?

7) When can we expect the book to be published?

Remember, when you post it to your blog tag the person who invited you, their blog/Amazon page/books - whatever they suggest. Then answer the 7 character questions followed by linking (hyperlinks) to five other authors. I have seen some have linked as little as 1 other author though – so it’s really up to you. This should be a quick and fun promo and you shouldn’t feel pressured.

My post will be going up at www.jcmells.com on June 9th - so you can use that as an example.

Here are other examples:

Hope this helps! And thanks for participating!

I'll email you now.

Shannon Pemrick Hmm sounds interesting, I'll email to get more info.

J.J. DiBenedetto | 651 comments I'm doing the same blog hop, so once J.C. has filled up all her spots, anyone who's still interested should contact me...


message 5: by Lee (new)

Lee French | 5 comments I'd be delighted to do this. :)


message 6: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Patrick-Howard (rebeccaphoward) | 7 comments I emailed you. I'd be happy to participate!


message 7: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 266 comments I'll poke people on Facebook.


message 8: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 266 comments Does this have to just be fantasy/romance as I can probably get some others from outside the genre?
Is it the more the merrier?


message 9: by J.C. (new)

J.C. Mells | 32 comments More the merrier - all genres. At least none of the info I've been given states otherwise :)

I now have five authors and my slots are filled. But please keep posting here if you are interested in joining as some of the above will need authors to link to as well.

(I have A.L., Lee, Shannon and Rebecca all covered)


message 10: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 266 comments I've said recent release too. I have posted on FB and emailed a few people. NR I can use your details if you like.

Lisa (lisavoisin) | 8 comments I'm interested too. Please message me if there's room.


message 14: by Katheryn (new)

Katheryn Avila (katheryn_avila) I'd love to participate, so if any of you guys need a slot filled, email me! avilak90@gmail.com

J.C. Mells | 32 comments All my spots are filled - but in theory there should always be a spot needing to be filled. My slots are filled, but the 5 authors I recruited will need to fill 5, then their 5 will need 5 etc. I'm wondering if this would work more smoothly if those interested in participating posted their email address here (as some have already done) - then once you've taken a slot in the tour, DELETE your email post in this thread so that others looking to fill slots don't contact you again. Then when you need to fill a slot yourself, just take someone who still has their email in this thread etc. Does that work?

Short version (lol) : List your email - join the Blog - delete you email from the thread. Visit thread to find your recruits. The end.

message 17: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Pemrick I'm already filled up but if they need anyone I'll direct them to this thread.

J.C. Mells | 32 comments Great posts, ladies - thank you:)


message 21: by Sue (new)

Sue Perry | 46 comments This sounds like fun. I got a bit a lost in the back-and-forths so am not clear about whether anyone is still looking for anybody else. If you are, message me on GR!


message 22: by A.L. (new)

A.L. Butcher (alb2012) | 266 comments Tweeted that Shannon.


message 23: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Pemrick Thanks! Returned the favor!


message 24: by Lee (new)

Lee French | 5 comments Man, I completely whiffed on posting this on Monday. Just totally forgot about. Anyway, I've posted it today. Better late than never, amIright?

I gotta stop signing up for these scheduled posting things, because I suck at remembering to do it on the proper day.

Unfortunately, the two people I was going to link to both failed to get me their website links, so I didn't actually have anyone to pass the Hop on to.

Ed Ireland (edireland) | 40 comments Is this the same blog tour that Kyra Halland is doing? I'm supposed to be following her but need someone to pass to after. If not, I can do this one as well using a different character...in fact, a husband/wife team. Send me the info at fabsfan419@aol.com
