>Here’s what I gleaned from my blog hopping lately, though I have to admit I’m having to go further and look longer to find these things. It seems there’s a lot more writers having trouble keeping up with their blogs these days. Blogging lethargy, perhaps?

Amie Stuart is trying something different. She’s doing a kind of Dear Abby for writers in the form of a Dear Gentle Writer column. Got a question about writing or publishing? Ask Amie.

Elizabeth Naughton posts excerpts from her novels on her Saturday Snippets feature. Check it out. They’re great and you just may find a new author to read.

Last Friday, Fierce Romance interviewed Alisha Rai and posted a link to an excerpt of her Cabin Fever. Her hero? Wowser! Loved that description. Just reading that little excerpt, I could tell it was going to be a good story with great chemistry. Check it out.

Happy blog-hopping!

>New Guinness pics

Posted on September 20, 2009 by Annie Rayburn/Carol Burnside

Yeah, we’re like new parents. Can’t resist taking pics of the new ‘boy.’ Here’s Guinness in our front yard, sniffing a bird wing attached to a fishing pole. His instincts are kicking in and with his lineage, he should be an exceptional hunting dog.
