Jackie, for instance, is a romance author. Sure, you have time travel and she has the paranormal angle, but there is a meeting of the minds there.

Do you think it matters that my book is a time travel romance and my favorite authors are not. Two of my favorite authors are Jackie Kessler and Heather Brewer. Do you think they would be good blurbers for THE NEXUS? Really. Not joking. Okay, so I have my list of amazing authors, but none of them have written in the genre of my book.

I got my amazing blurbs exactly the same way - except I actually sent letters instead of e mail. I personally prefer the unique excitement (well, THESE days it's a unique excitement!) of getting a letter to the more common e mail, so I figured other authors might be more likely to respond to a letter.<br/><br/>Either way I completely agree that real passion for the work of the author you're approaching is key.<br/><br/>Alex Great post, Heather!

Either way I completely agree that real passion for the work of the author you’re approaching is key.
