Welcome to the inaugural Blog Browser Day! I have opted to place this on a Saturday each week, depending on submissions received, as I believe this will give the majority the most time possible to have a good wander around. Weekdays tend to have severe time constraints on what we can do. A Saturday should, in effect, allow a full weekend for browsing. The submission form and details will be available through the top menu, as for Book Promo Day. Please try to get your submissions in by midnight GMT on the Thursday as I cannot guarantee later submissions being included the following Saturday, though they will be carried forward to the following week if that’s the case.
Thanks to all those who have submitted blogs for this first edition!

Thriller Writer
The blog provides distinct authors the opportunity to publish a Guest Post concerning some aspect of writing. The objective is to inspire and inform writers of any level. Contributors are both Internationally known bestselling authors and writers who have yet to reach that status. These posts are backed up by a social media campaign designed to attract maximum exposure to their work and help promote the material about which they write. A maximum of 2 guests per month allows for an extended promotion of each post and all participants have indicated that this has increase their book sales and driven more traffic to their own websites/blogs.
Occasionally the blog’s manager, thriller writer Eric J. Gates, will publish additional material, usually of a whimsical nature, related to writing.

Seumas Gallacher
A personal blog by author Seumas Gallacher, in which he mentions his writing but also gathers a wildly varied collection of threads from all over the internet. You’ll not be subjected to hard sell, here, which is refreshing in an author’s blog. What more can I say, apart from the fact that Seumas has a tremendous sense of humor and is incredibly supportive of others? Not much worth saying, so let Seumas have the final words (I quote the opening of his “About me”):
Seumas Gallacher was born in the cradle of the Govan shipyards in Glasgow in the so-called “bad old days” which were in reality the greatest of days, where everybody was a real character of note.

Kellie Elmore
Kellie Elmore is a published poet who is currently working on a novel. On her blog she posts on a variety of subjects:
* some poetry
* her experiences as she works through writing her first novel
* she hosts Free Write Friday. This challenge helps me explore my own writing. Kellie takes the time to read all entries and comment on them.
I have found Kellie and her blog to be an inspiration to me ever since I found it. Not only that, her poetry is beautiful to read.
