Allie's post with you, Amy, is having issues due to Blogger Technicalities and Scheduling issues. It doesn't seem to post when she schedules it and she has to pull teeth to get it up. So I imagine it'll be sometime today.
I am definitely looking forward to it!!
Two of my Intl Giveaways are up though so, go enter those! And visit Two guest posts already up =)
Here is a link to our interview!! :) I pingged the you-know-what out of it enough times and finally it went through to Google Reader! Grrr...Google Reader/Blogger and I have such a love/hate relationship! Anyway, I think it's a great interview and we make an awesome Q&A team, Amy!
ReplyDeleteDo HF reviews count? If so, would you like to add my review of Elizabeth Chadwick's The Time of Singing to your list?
ReplyDeleteHere is the link to your guest post at Hist-Fic Chick! It's a great post Amy!! I'd never seen either of those letters before!
ReplyDeleteRobinbird: I'm so glad you're liking it and that you're participating!
ReplyDeleteMarie: thanks for the link! Poor Allie, it looks like she got it, but what a hassle! Blogger can be a pain at times!
Allie: I enjoyed it as well! You and I DO make a great team!
Carla: of course! I'll make sure you are included in the post Round Table post!
Allie: I'm glad you liked it - I think it's so cool that we have the have the access to such a piece of history!
This is great, I wish I had seen this before, but then the historical fiction that I mostly read is in a different realm..
