Author Bill Blais (Kelly and Umber Series) dicusses why he ventured off in a different direction when he creating his heroine Kelly who isn't your typical-size 0-teenager age-angst-ridden-kick-butt-character. Kelly certainly does kick butt but she's much different than what readers are use to reading. And Blais discusses why ordinary people make the best kind of heroines. "I can't make people like my books any more than a painter can force people to appreciate her art, and I believe a novel created by formula has the same appeal as a color by numbers picture. I like people and stories who make hard choices, and I can only do my best to be honest to the stories as I discover them. Seriously, who doesn't want to kick butt and win the guy or girl?"

You go to design at the top corner of your blog and then click on Layout and then Add Gadget. Once there you scroll down to Followers or Follow by Email. Add that to your blog and I think people will be able to follow you. Hope that helps :)

I have two blogs, one that kinda gets in my head as well as my co author's about diversity in YA, science fiction and Fantasy and how we'd like to see more of it.We also review books on here mostly YA and fantasy but right now we're new so we're taking submissions from every genre.We just prefer diverse and multicultural fiction but not picky :)

http://guinandlibertadtomas.blogspot....

This one is more like the steps we're taking to make our indie book the best it can be and tips on how to consider every possibility deciding the self publishing route. If any aspiring authors aren't really sure one what outlets are out there when you publish independently link up to our blog and we hope to share what we're doing and still doing to try to get our book in as many heads as possible :)

http://yamulticulturaljunkie.wordpres...

Anyone interested in either topic , be sure to follow and let me know I'll be glad to follow back!
