Turning Envy into Support (When Blogging Friends Become Authors)

Well, now that we all know how we really feel about those ahead of us in the publishing game (see other post), it's time to do more. SUPPORT. I'm making it one of my goals this year to lend better support to our blogging author friends. They made it! Now let's help spread the word for them. After all, isn't that what social networking is all about??

Books I've read:


The Role of a Lifetime by Jennifer Shirk
Tangled Tides by Karen Amanda Hooper

Books I've bought:


Bestest. Ramadan. Ever. by Medeia Sharif
The Next Door Boys by Jolene B. Perry


Nightshade City by Hilary Wagner
Untraceable by S.R. Johannes

Books I plan to buy soon:


The Circle of Friends by L. Diane Wolfe
Eternal Starling by Angela Corbett
My Very UnFairy Tale Life by Anna Staniszewski

This in no way exhausts the list of amazing blogger-turned-authors, but they're the ones that have been on my mind lately. Who else can we add to the list?!

    Whoohoo! I love knowing them. Yea, jealousness, but it's also so fun to say "I know them" and "that book is AWESOME!"

    It's so encouraging to know it CAN happen. I have quite a few of these on my TBR list and some I didn't. Thanks for pointing them out!

    What an inspirational post :) We will all get our turn eventually, because being a writer means you already have true grit. Never give up on your dreams.

    I know our dear Medeia! Congrats on her publication!
    UNTRACEABLE cover looks to me like it was stolen from new NBC's show THE RIVER poster. It is an almost identical idea.
