ARCHIVE'S BLOG ROUND-UP

I've not done one of these blog round-up pieces for some time but I'm always discovering new blogs, the good, the great and the bad so I thought now would be a good time to highlight some of my new favourites out there on the blogosphere. Carina Press is a new electronic first publisher from those heavyweights at Harlequin and their blog is well worth checking out to see what they are up to and there are often some pretty detailed articles on the new digital market. For fans of crime and mystery fiction I direct them to the Crime Fiction Dossier - sat over by David Montgomery, a professional critic it contains interviews and reviews. Another great crime blog is Poe's Deadly Daughters which offers a female perspective on the genre. The articles are always well detailed and clearly written. Sticking with crime we have Eurocrime which is a particular favourite of mine and keeps one informed on all thing European and mystery related.

A new western related blog is The Great Westerns -

This is a totally new blog to me and already I'm hooked. There have been some great vintage western photographs posted and the articles following the pictures are always top knotch. Dark Bits, run by author Howard Hopkins does not deal exclusively in westerns but every Wednesday is Western Wednesday and the blog is worth reading every day. The Outlaw Trail, what a cool sounding blog, is run by fellow Black Horse writer, Chuck Tyrell is one of the better new western blogs out there with plenty of info on the author's own book as well as tons of great western history.

Bookslut is always worth reading for literary opinion - the blog has a nice layout and the way articles are categorised by genre is very useful.
