Blour du Jour--Take 2

Before I forget--tomorrow I'll unveil a new cover. It's way cool. I'll also drop a hint as to what you'll find here on Monday. Ya won't wanna miss out on it, BGs, trust me.

Well, this blour du jour stuff is quite interesting. I hadn’t realized how it all works. The links help move a book up on the Technorati (Web search engine) list of most talked-about books. At time of this posting, Web of Lies was #6 on that list, just a few behind The DaVinci Code. Amazing! The links apparently are counted by number of blogs using this URL to Web of Lies on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0310251060

This Christian Fiction Blog Tour idea was created by T.L. Hines, author of Waking Lazarus, which releases this summer (and is a great read!)

Here are links for today. Some of yesterday’s interviews have now gone into Part 2. Chris Mikesell’s Interview is new today (So Much Stuff I Can’t Recall). At some of the blogs you'll need to scroll down to yesterday's post. And there are some new links to reviews.

(Now who's gonna be first to tell Mike Snyder we're talkin' about him?)
