Getting Started

My concept for this site is simple. Its sole purpose will be as an information exchange. Book bloggers and author sites who are willing to host romance authors as their guests can list their information here.

Authors seeking to arrange their own promotion or put together a poor man's blog tour can contact hosts directly to arrange spots. 

If you're a blogger interested in being listed as a host, please fill out the following information as an item in the comments. I'll get it formatted and create a page. As the site evolves, I'm sure my format will improve. Bear with me while I'm working out the kinks.
