Cats and the Afterlife


Melissa Eclectic Bookshelf

Today I'm at  Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf discussing various afterlife beliefs involving cats. While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of Melissa's site. I love hanging out with book bloggers because, for the most part, these are some of the nicest, happiest, most upbeat people on earth--and Melissa examplifies this to the max. Her blog is always a breath of fresh air and, hey, CATS!

Top Ten Strangest Afterlife Beliefs





Today, I'm at  My Pathway to Books discussing the top ten stranges afterlife beliefs/customs that I came across in my research for Hereafter. While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of the site. Tess's site is one of my favorite book blogger sites - Tess is an amazing young woman and an incredible supporter of indie books and indie authors. She's sweet, kind, funny, and extremely smart. I always feel like a better person after hanging around with her.

Bullying and Subtlty in Writing



Today I am over at From the Bootheel Cotton Patch, a great book blog, discussing the challenges of writing about difficult topics (in this case, bullying and Jonah's back story) in a subtle, non "in your face" way. While you're there, be sure to check out the rest of Flora's blog. There's always a lot going on there - reviews, giveaways, blog hops, etc. and spotlights on an electic mix of books, many lesser known, which is great when you want to diversify your reading or find something a little different. What I especially like about this blog is that it's a mother-daughter team, which makes it great for parents looking for books appropriate for their teens.
