My name is Sheniqua Waters and I am excited to have the opportunity to blog today. I write historical romance novels. I hope everyone who reads my blog finds it interesting and I would love to hear your thoughts on my musings. ““ Sheniqua Waters (www.TheWorldsBestBook.com)
Hello, Sheniqua. What a pretty name that is!
I’m scheduled to be here tomorrow and wanted to see how you do what you do. Blogging is a complete mystery to me. I also find CTR to be a little hard to find things on. Do you have excerpts posted somewhere? If so, where can I find them? I’d really like to read your excerpts.
Have you had much response? I’ve never had much luck with chats and I don’t expect a blog to be any better, but it’s worth a try.
What kinds of stories do you write? I tried to click through to your website and kept getting “aborted.”
If I don’t get kicked off again I’ll check back later.
I hope your day here goes well.

Hello again, Sheniqua. I finally got through to your website and read the excerpts from Slave Girl. It looks like an exciting and different from run-of-the mill novels. I don’t recall seeing too many books with heroines who are women of color, or anything other than caucasian, but then I could be very wrong about that. Maybe there are a lot and I just don’t know it.
I wish you the best of luck with your book! I’ll have to get one after I’ve worked my way down farther through my tbr pile.

Ruth – Thanks for your interest. You will do great tomorrow with your blog. Just post your thoughts and see what happens. I have not done many blogs myself. However, I thought I would give it a try. I think it’s a good thing you are blogging. You never know who is going to read your musings and where that could lead.
I think the secret to getting a big response is to promote the fact you are blogging. If you have a facebook page or are in a yahoo group you can send out a notice telling everyone you are blogging and ask that they stop by and check it out. Hope that helps… – Sheniqua Waters
Ruth – You are sooo sweet to want to read the excerpts on my website for Slave Girl. I didn’t set out to write a romance novel with a woman of color. I just asked myself what would make a good story. I was able to go backpacking in the Middle East for two months (before 9/11) and was able to visit Egypt and Turkey. I hope the fact I was able to see these locations in person comes through in the book and makes the scenes and characters come to life.
So tell me, what do you write? I guess I will have to check back tomorrow and read your blog.
