What could Mystery Men and Ducks have in common? Give up? Okay, I'll tell you. They're both featured in my blogs today.
At http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com, after a short introduction, I've relinquished control of my blog to Marcus Sakey, who is the first in a series of multi-talented Men of Mystery to appear there. You won't be disappointed if you stop by and read what he has to say. He's got a great topic to share and a new book hitting the stands on Thursday. On Friday, another great Man of Mystery, J. A. Konrath, will make his appearance at Acme Authors Link. More to follow next week.
At http://mysteryturtles.blogspot.com, I reveal what a slob I am, how long it's been going on, and what I'm doing about it. That one's called Ducks in a Row. I wonder how many other of you share my tendencies or are you all neatniks?
I've spent a bit of time organizing these two blogs. Coming from a confessed slob, that's an accomplishment.
If you've got a few minutes with nothing to do, consider clicking the links above. Also, if you're so inclined, it would be great if you left a comment.
Whether you do or not, at least now you know the truth. Mystery Men and Ducks have a lot more in common than you'd ever guess.
I've got two blogs up today. One's at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com about exercising your ears when you go for a walk. I've also got a cute photo of my dog, Rascal there as well. If you don't go for the article, go to see the picture.
The other blog is up at http://mysteryturtles.blogspot.com , where I blog about weather and last Monday's summer storm in the Chicago area.
If you're a real blog lover, I also invite you to check out Blogs That Rule, my blog roll which gives current snippets and links from blogs I find informative, cute, or unique. The address is http://blogsthatrule.blogspot.com
