Because of A Book with Your Name Here

 

I'm sad to say that I do not have a guest for you today.  I had someone scheduled, but did not receive the post in time, so I'm doing things a little differently today.  

I just sent out a tweet asking for new participants for this feature.  Thank you to all who have responded, retweeted, and/or agreed to be a guest for me.  I want this feature to continue as it is one that I love and know that many of you do as well.  I want it to be a way to let others get to know bloggers, authors, and publishers.  Here is the information that I originally posted when I started this feature.
I hope you will enjoy this new Tuesday post.  It will be a weekly post, not by me, but by authors, bloggers, and publishers.  Of course, it's about books - the books that we read as children that have had some kind of an impact on our lives.  What do I mean?  Well, many of us read a book growing up, that sparked something inside us, created the reader we are now, inspired us to write, etc.  In some way, our lives were changed Because of A Book!
What does it entail?  Well, you type up a post, of any length about a book, from your childhood, that you loved or that inspired you to become the reader/writer that you are.  You also need to include a short bio about yourself along with a picture.  If you are an author, I will include info about your latest book, as well as the book you speak of in your post.

The following are past Because of A Book posts that you can use as an example.  Some authors have included a giveaway with their post, but it is not a requirement.

I have yet to feature a publisher, although I have had a publisher contact me about featuring one of their authors.  Please feel free to pass this information on to others you know that may be interested in participating.  If you'd like to participate, please comment below with your email address, or email me direct.  My email address is in the left sidebar.

I look forward to hearing from you!!
