Today is the blog blitz, organised by author Y. Correa, mod of the Indie Author Support Group on Goodreads – you can find out more about the group and Y here. For my piece on the blitz I’m featuring young adult writer and excellent all-round writing buddy – Tony Talbot! You may have seen my review of his latest book Eight Mile Island earlier this year. Tony is a regular blogger on my other blog Aside from Writing, and I’m excited to have him here as my guest today!

PS. If you’d like to see my feature, author Stephanie Hurt is hosting me at her blog here.
