Will you lend me a virtual couch?

In late 2009 I embarked on a the Blog Orgy Tour in support of Charactered Pieces: stories which took me all the way from my living room to the Javanaut coffeehouse on 39th street and everywhere in between with wireless internet access. Oh, the groupies. But that’s for another post.

As some of you may know, my novel Stranger Will is set to be released in March 2011 by Otherworld Publications. I miss the road (which remains unmoving just outside my office window). So, I want to do another tour. Announcing the

Posting for Strange: The Blog Orgy Tour II: Stranger Will: (Unnecessary Colon)

(I’m still working on the name)

My goal this time is to embark on a marathon blog tour, from the release of Stranger Will in March all the way to the November 2011 release of my second novel, I Didn’t Mean to Be Kevin (Black Coffee Press). This is quite ambitious, but I’ve been looking for a good way to get burned out on this whole writing thing. I think this is it.

So my question is: will you help?

My primary request is for one day’s worth of blog space. I’ll write a post which you will publish a pre-determined date. Simple. This post can be entirely my own, or it can be an interview, or I could write a review of a book…whatever, really. If you have a cool idea, I’m all for it. I would like to try and fit my post content into the content of your site (when in Rome, blog as the Romans blog). If you critique cartoons, I’ll do the same. If you review lit journals, I’ll do the same.

My secondary request would be for you to spread this tour stop request to all of your lit-reading friends and contacts. Obviously I will need a lot of sites in order to fill the 32+ weeks of tour time. If I average 3 posts per week, that’s 96 sites. Damn. If you know someone with a writing-related blog, please pass along my information. Or even pass his/her information my way and I’ll reach out.

If you are able to help, please let me know. Though I won’t start posting until the middle of March 2011, I’ll need as much time as possible to organize all of the dates and content with the various website editors.

Please contact me at caleb [at] calebjross [dot] com. Put something about the blog tour in the subject line, so my spam bots know that you’re cool.

Already drowning,
