Roses for the Blog Queens!
I’ve been honored to be one of the authors who posts once a month on Romancing the Genres. Not only was I drawn to the blog by the Blog Queens, but the title they gave the blog made me smile and want to be a part of the group. The title can be interpreted so many ways, which makes it easy for an author of any genre to want to be a part of it.
Over the years, I’ve posted about writing struggles, new releases, and information I’ve uncovered while researching for books. And there are the ever-popular themes that the Blog Queens give us for each month. They are the best part of this blog. Really! When I can’t think of something going on in my writing life to write about, I fall back on their theme for the month and it gives me a place to start.
The other coincidences about this 10 year anniversary are the facts that I started Indie publishing ten years ago, when I joined this blog, and May is my anniversary month for when my first book published. That makes it easy every May to write a blog post. I can always talk about my writing journey.
But the best thing about being a part of this blog are the Blog Queens and the other writers and authors they bring to the blog each month on the weekends. They always have bloggers with lots of knowledge on the writing industry. The weekend blogs with the guests are a great way to learn about other authors and what is happening in the industry.
Judith and Sarah have done wonders herding the writers and authors on the blog over the last ten years. I can’t wait to do a 20th anniversary post!
If you didn’t see my post on Saturday about my current release being my 50th book, please come by my month-long 50 Book Bash Facebook party and join in the conversations for a chance to win prizes. I’m giving away prizes every day through the month of May.

Paty, thank you for the kudos! For the most part this has been a labor of love. The other part is related to techie things over which neither BQ has any control. It bears repeating Sarah and I couldn't have made it 10 years without the Genre-istas showing up. I will admit I stopped a moment when I read your "I can't wait to do a 20th anniversary post!" I haven't thought that far ahead although it is a worthy goal.
Hi Judith! Didn't mean to startle you! LOL Thank you for putting this blog together and herding all of us!
10 years of wonderful sharing. Kudos to our wonderful blog queens Judith and Sarah. Roses just aren't enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Great recap of the history of the blog post, Paty! I've certainly enjoyed being a part of the blog with so many other talented writers. Congrats to Sarah and Judith!!!
Marcia and Diana, I agree! This is a great blog and Sarah and Judith are awesome leaders.
I agree with what you said here: "Judith and Sarah have done wonders herding the writers and authors on the blog over the last ten years. I can’t wait to do a 20th anniversary post!" I didn't know who had been a part of the group from the beginning. But I'm not surprised to hear you were one of them.
This blog has been a wonderful place for me to come, to learn things, and often to just be entertained by pieces of people's stories, book covers, and the sharing that goes on all the time.
Maggie, It is a wonderful place to learn about authors and to learn about books and the publishing industry.
