Oklahoma Author Blogs, Mel Odom, etc.

I’m a Mel Odom fan and look at his blogs frequently. I’ve noticed he posts many other Oklahoma authors to his blogroll. So here is my attempt to get us looking for those Okie authors and what they have to say about what they’re reading, writing, doing or just opinionating on. I think it’s interesting that more of the SciFi and Romance writers seem willing to get in there and talk to their fans and readers.   

Odom has his Adventures in Writing , looks like he’s freezing at home like the rest of us this week. He also has BookHound, my personal favorite. Mel also contributes to Blogcritics magazine.

Gena Showalter, is hot, hot, hot. Start at her blog. And I just mentioned Showalter and low and behold I find her and Merline, on Merline Lovelace’s website in a Youtube video. (Be patient it takes a while to load).

Jill Monroe, who is also on the video has a blog. Jordan Dane, has a three book series out (which I’m the proud owner of, but haven’t finished yet so you won’t get any information out of me).  Here is her myspace page blog.

What’s progressing with C.J. Cherryh?

Christine Rimmer is an incredibly generous author who gave free books to the Oklahoma Department of Libraries for our women correctional institutions.   Much appreciated.

And I need to add a mystery writer to the list, William Bernhardt, and might I say Congratulations on your marriage!! We just received his new book, Nemesis, at the library.

So start looking for others to add to this list and I’ll be happy to post them.

Thanks for the link to the Merline Lovelace video. That was hilarious!

What a great blog! Gena Showalter and I have “interviewed” several Oklahoma authors including PC Cast, Sharon Sala, Rachel Vincent, Linda Goodnight and Jordan Dane. They can be found http://www.authortalk.tv (Author Talk) or on YouTube.

Thanks again!

CJ Cherryh just cracks me up talking about her ice skating routine and how she avoids the rink when the “hoards” of children are out. When she was in Oklahoma to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Oklahoma Book Awards, I had a chat with her mother. When we started talking about CJ’s new love of ice skating, her mom said, “She’s gonna fall down and break her neck!” (Mom’s are the same the world over, thank god.)

And, yes, congratulations Bill on your recent nuptials. Here’s to years of happiness!

Thanks much for the comments. Jill I love your website Author Talk.

Don’t forget the OK Writers blog, it promotes and informs about all Oklahoma authors or Oklahoma themed books. For many emerging Oklahoma authors is an important promotional tool. It is also free!
