Featuring Authors

On my author's site, I've got a link to my author's xanga (blog). Wow, what a surprise. I'd like to start doing kind of a 'featured book/author of the week' thing, to both increase circulation through the blog and to help promote other authors.

So...now I'm taking submissions via rachaelbyrd_books@yahoo.com. If you'd like me to put a link/banner/picture/all of the above up for you, send me an email. I won't get to everyone, I guess, so don't take this as a promise to have your stuff up.

What I'd like to do is have interviews with authors via email (I'd type the questions and send them; they'd answer and return them), pictures, books, news, reviews, bios, and all that good stuff. I'd like to include authors of all genres aimed toward an adult audience (age 14 and up), so no children's books or anything.

Thoughts?

What a great thing to do, Rachael - This would be a great vehicle for everyone. Are you interested in just published authors with current books out? I'm in that wonderful but frustating position of being published, but the book won't come out until next spring, so I'm on hold until then. Let me know.
