I'm Back!

Dear Readers,

I'm so sorry for the extended hiatus but life came between me and the internet. It has been a busy few months for me. I purchased a car, moved into a new apartment, took a couple summer classes (A+ in both thank you very much), and started a business. Needless to say this blog has fallen into some serious disrepair. But that is going to change! I have a few great book reviews coming up, I'm going to write some interviews and also introduce my new business. I am so happy to be back to blogging and I hope I can get my wonderful readers back soon! Please let me know how all of you have been. I will be making the rounds to all of your blogs this week to say hi so please drop by and do the same!

Thanks,
Jeff

P.S. The summer self-publishing spotlight is still on so keep the submissions coming!

Attention to Blogger/Blogspot users!

I have finally rectified the problem with blogger's blog roll. If you follow this link it will take you to the corresponding blogger site. It is automatically updated each time I post on here so the RSS will be identical. You won't be able to access the features like the calendar there but the blog will be available in full. So if you use blogger's blog roll make sure you join here so you can be updated!

Under Construction/Fixed

Thanks for your patience! The Debut Authors Blog is back up and running!

Our First Week!

Hello readers!

Thank you for making our first week online so incredibly successful. In one week we have had over 1000 page views, 255 distinct visits and 112 absolute unique visitors. Pretty good for only nine days in the blogosphere! The site can only be successful in the long run with active participation from all of you; one man can’t possibly review all of the debut novels!

Things coming your way this week (hopefully). I plan to read and review Dexter Palmer’s The Dream of Perpetual Motion
which seems to be one of the most interesting debuts out this week. I also just ordered Kimberly Blackadar’s Nothing but Trouble after Midnight
which I will review. I want to host at least one author guest blog talking about their experience as a debut author. Lastly, I emailed Janice Hardy about doing a possible interview so keep your fingers crossed for that one!

Thanks again to all the publishers, authors, agents and bloggers who have participated this week. I’m excited for the future of this website and have big plans for it. So stay tuned and stay involved!

Thanks,
Jeff

Upcoming Debut Calendar

We at the Debut Authors Blog are excited to announce the launching of the Upcoming Debut Calendar where we have the release dates of every debut novel we know about. Each calendar entry is also a link to the author's webpage so that you can read more about each book.

If you are a debut author (not just young adult, all debut authors) and want your title included, or you are a reader that wants to submit the release date please fill out the Contact Us form with your name, book title, author name, release date and a link to the author's website. Conversely, if you find an error (release date wrong or the title is not an author's debut) also contact us and we will correct it as soon as we can.

Also, the newsletter for the month of March will be emailed on the 1st of the month so if you would like to receive it please let us know by checking the appropriate box. The newsletter will also be posted here on the blog sometime during the first week of March. Again thank you for reading and participating! Tomorrow we will be posting our first guest review by Boof the Book Whisperer, don't miss it!

First Post

Welcome to the Debut Authors Blog! It is our hope to build this site into a place for readers to find out about the books that are coming out from new authors. We can’t do it alone though! If this site is going to succeed we will need the help from all of our readers to help us find the books from new authors, to review said books and to constantly provide feedback on how we can make the site better for you!

If you are a blogger or author and want to participate in making this site great fill out the contact us form and send us a line!
