Linda Parkinson-Hardman (lindaph) Hi Everyone

I've just posted about the books I'm willing to giveaway to blogger's earlier in the Authors section of this group. I'm also a blogger and have been for several years now.

I've recently restructured it to focus on the art of writing and book marketing.

Last Thursday I started a new section of the blog called Thursday Throng and the idea is that I do an interview with an author, add their book cover and a picture of them to the blog post together with links to where it can be purchased and their own site.

My next Thursday Throng will be with Meaghan Delahunt who is one of the judges in an international writing contest I'm running too.

It would be great to support this activity with a giveaway or two as well.

Each of these posts is broadcast out on Twitter, on LinkedIn and my Facebook Page as well and I always respond to comments and discussion that goes on.

I also write an ad-hoc newsletter which the posts are sent out on too.

Preferably I'm looking for books business books, Non-Fiction and Novels (those for women would be my preference) but not erotica or horror as I don't read this genre.

Don Martinez (desertcoyote13) | 21 comments Is feminist urban fantasy okay? Two out of three of my series count in that department, I think.

Linda Parkinson-Hardman (lindaph) Gosh that sounds interesting and as I don't think I've ever read any then I have no idea ....! Can you let me have something to have a look at?

Jade Varden (jadevarden) I'd love to see a link to the blog. You can message it to me if you don't want to post it publicly.

Linda Parkinson-Hardman (lindaph) Ooops, thanks for reminding me Jade - I really should have included it in the original message and I was obviously getting ahead of myself :-)

Linda Parkinson-Hardman (lindaph) I'd be happy to host you Mike. Do you have a particular book in mind that you'd like to promote? If so is there any chance I could grab a copy too to have a read of so I'm informed about you? Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.

I would be glad to offer any of my four books. Please check them out on my Amazon site and let me know which one you would like me to send along. My two thrillers, DEADLY EYES and COVERT DREAMS, are in both PDF and AZW (Kindle format), and my two comic fiction novels are both in PDF. I look forward to hearing from you.

Linda Parkinson-Hardman (lindaph) Hi Mike, so far it's been all women that I've had on Thursday Throng so yes, I'd be more than happy to pick up a man or two for a more even balance. If you can send me your email address I'll send you the author questionnaire and more instructions on how to get involved :-) It would be great if I could grab a kindle format copy of a book just for my own benefit and also if you want to offer a giveaway. Linda

Suzanne Lilly (suzanne_lilly) What a terrific blog you have. I love how well organized it is...one knows what to expect each day. Are you interested in contemporary YA? I'll be doing a blog promo for Shades of the Future in July, with a set of designer sunglasses as a giveaway. Let me know if that genre is in your range of books. Thanks!

What a lovely compliment to pay Suzanne and yes, I read pretty much anything (within reason) - or at least I do now, I didn't but I've had my eyes opened here on Goodreads to genres I never thought I'd consider.

Also my aim with the Thursday Throng is to allow the authors to speak for themselves and give themselves a chance to 'pitch' in a subtle way to the audience. So, if you'd like to take part and you have specific dates in mind just message me your email address and I'll get back to you with details.
