Mysterious Steampunk

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...

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...

Helen Ginger said...

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!

Jemi Fraser said...

Tamika - thanks for popping over! It's a fun genre :)

Jemi Fraser said...

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!!

Jemi Fraser said...

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.

Jemi Fraser said...

Thanks Mason! That makes me feel better - it's very nerve-wracking! Thanks for the invite - I just need a little time to recover... :)

Mari said...

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.

Unknown said...

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! :)

Jemi Fraser said...

Thanks Mari - it is a great site. Glad that you enjoyed it :)

Jemi Fraser said...

Cassandra - I think it went well! Thanks :)

Jemi Fraser said...

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.

Jemi ~ I read your guest blog...and it was very good. I was completely in the dark about what Steampunk was, but not anymore. :)
