Perhaps many of you know that I’ve been scheming. Or at least plotting. But now I can officially announce what I have been working on!
My birthday is in April (the 20th) so I wanted to do something really cool for the entire month. After having met a ton of awesome authors in and around Ohio I decided that I wanted to help showcase this lovely group of people. So I sent out some feelers and got a MASSIVE response. So this is what will happen: for the entire month of April my blog will be taken over (most of the time) by one Ohio author a day. It will either be an interview or guest post, whatever they decided to do. We will talk about their books and anything else they want to discuss that day, it’s all up to them.
Starting on April 1st I will open a huge giveaway, these authors have been kind and generous enough to offer up books and swag for you guys to win! I am also offering Ohio author swag packs full of all sorts of goodies from these folks. There are many prizes and therefore many winners!
So let’s check out the line up (in alphebetical order):

I am excited.. I love Rae Carson. The Sister Grimm was another good series that I have read a few and might be time to revisit. I think this a a great idea. A chance to find some new authors that I might never have discovered. Thank you for all the effort you put into this blog for my enjoyment (and so many others as well).
I'm so glad you're excited, I am too.
