For more than three years, I’ve been a volunteer contributor with Pop Syndicate, working hard with Stefan Halley to build the site’s book blog into an amazing resource for readers everywhere.
After managing the site for four years, Stefan decided it was time to hand over the reigns to someone else. For myself, it was also a time for change.
I’ve loved working with Stefan and my team at Pop Syndicate, reviewing books, interviewing authors and posting fun videos at the Book Addict blog. The site kept me sane while I was unemployed and offered an incredible opportunity to network with amazing authors and publicists at major publishers. For an author, that is pretty awesome.
After a while, though, I felt like it was time to move on. With this transition, the timing seemed perfect.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m leaving the book blogosphere. In fact, I’m diving head-first into the plethora of sites that host authors on virtual book tours with a new blog, Authors & Appetizers.
This blog will combine two of my FAV things: food and books. Authors will offer up their favorite recipes, we will post guest blogs and interviews, and, eventually, book reviews.
I’m hard at work on wrapping up the design, posting content and reaching out to my wonderful network of authors and publicists to book talent. Authors & Appetizers will soft launch the end of this month.
While I’m moving forward, I want to thank the contributors who made the former Pop Syndicate book blog so great:
- Christine Rose
- D.B. Grady
- Stephanie Osborn
- Norm Cowie
- Laurie Sanders
- Krysten Hager
- Drew Beatty…and others who have posted occasionally over the years. You guys, quite simply, ROCK.
Special thanks, too, to all the authors who appeared, and publicists who worked diligently with me to make the blog sing. I look forward to working with you all at Authors & Appetizers.
My new email will be up and running shortly (fingers crossed), so for now, you can always get me at authorangelawilson@gmail.com, on Twitter or, better yet, on Facebook.
I look forward to working with everyone on the new blog!
Thanks so much, Cheryl! Appreciate it.
Best of luck with the new blog, Ang. If there is anything I can do to help out, please let me know. My time is very limited, but I’ll do what I can.

@Norm LOL! Always did love your sense of humor. I look forward to having you over at Authors & Appetizers to talk about your latest. Hey, you should drop by to chat about Fang Face and share a recipe.
@Emily Thank you so much for your support! You know you are always welcome over at Authors & Appetizers. Just say the word!
Angela, you did excellent work over there and were always a pleasure to read. Good luck with your new project!
Actually, in my case, I don’t rock, I simply give many of them a home in my head.
I’ll be seeing you around, Ang, you aren’t rid of me yet.
Thanks! I learned a lot at Pop Syndicate – and from you. It was a pleasure. Keep in touch!
It was great working with you as well. Thanks for making the past 3 years so great. I look forward to reading your new endeavor. Good Luck!
