Stranger Will Tour Stop #75: Big Other, CALEB HAS LEFT THE BLOGOSPHERE!

Posted on by Caleb J Ross Posted in Blog Orgy Tour | Leave a comment

75 blog posts. Seven-five. It’s hard to believe that I started this marathon blog tour back in March. I’ve had some good times promoting my novels, and it’s fitting that I can revisit and summarize some of those good times at the Big Other blog, which was the second stop on my tour all those months ago.

Stranger Will Tour Stop #74: Shaking Like a Mountain – I own way too many domains

Posted on by Caleb J Ross Posted in Blog Orgy Tour | Leave a comment

I have a problem with purchasing domains and never using them. In all I have about 20, all but 5 or so go unused. Many of the domains are literature themed. Today at Shaking Like a Mountain, I offer possible uses for these domains.

Stranger Will Tour Stop #73: Dan Donche’s blog – a reaction video to Donche’s website

Posted on by Caleb J Ross Posted in Blog Orgy Tour, Video | Leave a comment

I’ve been making a few videos lately. They aren’t well-produced by any means, but hopefully they bring a smile to 80% of people who watch them (for the other 20% I hope for frowns; got to maintain my street cred, right?). Today my blog tour brings me to Dan Donche’s blog where I offer a reaction video of me watching content on his website. It’s meta.

Stranger Will Tour Stop #71: Tom Williams’ blog – In Defense of Concept Fiction

Posted on by Caleb J Ross Posted in Blog Orgy Tour | Leave a comment

For this post, so graciously hosted by Tom Williams, author of the incredible The Mimic’s Own Voice, I was going to take the title of his book literally and write something verbatim from one of Tom’s previous posts. But then I realized that such a thing would be stupid. Instead I write about something that I feel I am always defending, so I figure it’s time I write a post about it.

Stranger Will Tour Stop #70: Chris Deal’s blog – more comics created using author bio pictures

Posted on by Caleb J Ross Posted in Blog Orgy Tour | Leave a comment

Author bio photos often seem to me as stuffy, strangely manicured posturing that is supposed to be a way to connect the reader to the author (and drive sales), but do they work? I’m not sure. However, they are good for displaying humorous captions. Check some out today at Chris Deal’s blog.

Stranger Will Tour Stop #69: xTx’s blog and why the hell must I (try to) be so funny all the time

Posted on by Caleb J Ross Posted in Blog Orgy Tour | Leave a comment

I’ve been awful about posting notices here telling all you lovely people when I have a new blog tour post go live. And today’s (yesterday’s) failure on my part is especially effed up, as the infamous and aesthetically mysterious xTx has allowed me a day on her blog. See if I ever get invited back.

I write about my inherent, and unnecessary, need to turn everything I say into something potentially humorous. Success or no, I’m addicted.
