I'm guest blogging over at Michele Emrath's blog, Southern City Mystery, today. It's my first time doing a guest post! I'm a little nervous..., but I don't suppose I should tell anyone that, should I? :)
I'm talking about Steampunk and what a great genre it is for mystery writers. Victorian England is an awesome setting for murder & mayhem. Add in a few steampunk devices? Fantastic!
Pop on over to Michele's and check out the post. She's got a fabulous blog - I know you'll enjoy visiting!
Have you done any guest blogging? Any advice? Hmmm. Should probably have asked that earlier...

I saw that!
Thanks for commenting Diane!
I'm sure you'll do a great job! I've never guest blogged before, but I'm interested in learning more about this genre.
Heading over...
My only advice would be to pop over there several times over the day and answer comments and questions - and promote the visit (with a link) anywhere you can, like listservs, Twitter, etc. And...have fun!

No advice, but I'll pop over and see how you do it!
Tamika - thanks for popping over! It's a fun genre :)
Helen - good advice! I'm at school and the server doesn't always let me check blogs - but today it is! My lucky day :)
Hadn't thought of promoting the link either - thanks!!
Thanks Yvonne - all well wishers welcome :)
Well I will pop over.
I just know you'll be great! I'll pop over and check it out. :-)

Thanks Shelby! I hope you enjoy the post - I know you'll love Michele's blog :)
You did a wonderful job guest blogging. I understand Steampunk better now and it sounds very interesting. You have an open invitation to guest blog at Thoughts in Progress anytime you'd like.
Thanks Mason! That makes me feel better - it's very nerve-wracking! Thanks for the invite - I just need a little time to recover... :)
Hey Jemi! Very cool that you got to guest post, and that site seems great.
Ah, I'd be nervous too, heh. You did a good job! :)
I've never guest blogged but on my old blog I had a few other write guest blogs for me. I found it really great to read their posts and I loved being able to share a different perspective on my blog.
Good luck with your guest blog.
I apologise for the belated comment. Had a fist fight with dial-up. Dial-up won.
Don't think you require any advice honey. You're doing quite well on your own.
Can't stay long. Off to read another post of yours! :)
Thanks Mari - it is a great site. Glad that you enjoyed it :)
Cassandra - I think it went well! Thanks :)
Wendy - dial up can be such a horrendous pain!
Thank you - you're such a sweetie! Hope you enjoy Michele's blog.
Good luck on guesting. You'll rock. No words of advice except be yourself--you're a natural.
I'm too late to offer advice but I'll be sure to pop by Michele's blog to say hello and read what you've written.
Warm regards,
Simone
Cat - Thanks! That's such a nice thing to say :)
Simone - thanks Simone - very kind! :)
Jemi ~ I read your guest blog...and it was very good. I was completely in the dark about what Steampunk was, but not anymore. :)
DL - Thanks so much! Steampunk is very, very cool. I hope enjoyed learning a little about it. I've still got lots to learn myself!
Thank you for blogging for me! It got great response! And your post was excellent.
