Master of the cliffhanger! I swear, I fall for it every time. I get invested in the story, can't wait to hear more, and then--WAM! Over. =[ But I'll forgive you. =]

I had this same conversation with someone recently about blog tours. I'm interested to hear your take on it.

That Christmas book sounds great! Keep us informed about when it comes out, I'd love to get my hands on it!!
I pretty much started blogging BECAUSE of the other LDS bloggers in my ward, and they're pretty much the only blogs I read currently. I probably should expand my horizons a bit more though.

It won't be hard to find those Mormon blogging women. I'm one of them. I have a few on my blog roll. Just check them out. They will lead to even more.

That is how I started. I love reading blogs of other women who are so much like me.

Congrats on your story! That is so awesome!

I am seriously excited for the Christmas book. I love compilations like that.

I was blogging for nearly 3 years before I discovered the amazing LDS presence in the blogging world. Since then, I've just been sucked right in...so many wonderful blogs, so many wonderful LDS writers out there. Hard to know where to draw the line!

I enjoyed your blog tour--you found great people to post reviews. Can't wait to see the compilation of Christmas stories--I love those types of things!

I have not been to any blogger meet ups yet, but most of the blogs I read are written by women who openly indicate they are LDS. It is a huge community out there and I tend to think blog tours are worthwhile. Not that I have done one yet... but, ya know. Maybe this fall with the release of my second book.

I have never heard of a blog tour before, but it i...

I have never heard of a blog tour before, but it is a cool idea.

It is true that Mormon women have really caught hold of the mom-blog community. I think that mom blogging gives us a sense of sisterhood that we sometimes lack in our more fragmented modern world!

My experience has been much the same as Heffalump's - too funny. And I absolutely adore reading blog tours and have bought many books because of them.

Haha! Interestingly enough, most of the blogs I read are written by LDS women. There are only a few that aren't. It just seems like I stumbled on to one, and from there, found many other blogs. For some it took me a while to figure out they were members. Last year I went to a Bloggy meet up attended by 15 bloggers. I was kind of nervous about it, and some were bloggers I had never read. So, I looked at each of their blogs and it turned out that all 15 of them were LDS!
