And so... it begins...
Not exactly the most brilliant entry title in a blog, but hey, I was a Babylon 5 fan and I just loved that particular line ... hehe my first post and I am digressing already ;)
A few years ago, Just Erotic Romance Reviews had a Yahoo Group. The group turned out to be more of a promo place and less of an interactive loop ... bluntly put, it was more of the same, as there are tons of free promotional type loops in Yahoo groups in which you see exactly the same promos in surround sound. I felt sad, because I had wanted it to be a bit more interactive, even if allowing authors and publishers to promote their product, but it ended up becoming too much of a chore to keep up with it and frankly, no one except the authors and publishers posting promos were actually showing any interest in it, though some were nice enough to try and chit chat. We ended up shutting it down.
Now probably you all are thinking that I am nuts ... I get rid of a group and end up starting a blog?!?!
Well, yeah, I am nuts, so that is a given... aside from that I wanted to give another try to interactive action. Give our readers and friends a chance to come over, see what kind of lunacy is running rampant at JERR, maybe share some news and gossip, general thoughts on erotic romance, where it is and where it is going, allow outsiders to ask questions about JERR, stuff like that.
What is this blog going to be? who knows ... I guess it is going to be what we all make it to be. However, I can tell you what it is not going to be: a promo place or an overtly snarky blog. Snarky blogs can be a lot of fun to visit and comment at, but sometimes too much is too much.
And I think this is pretty much it... for now. Want to discuss a topic in particular? drop me a note. Have a question about anything concerning JERR? drop me a note. Have a piece of news that you would like to share? drop me a note.
And for the shameless piece of self-promotion:
THE FIRST JERR ISSUE OF 2008 COMES OUT ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 13.
Last but not least, HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!
