CSFF’ers,
I’m having email problems, so I apologize for sending this notice out a day late.
September CSFF Top Tour Blogger Award.
Thank you to each who voted in our September poll. Congratulations to Rachel Starr Thomson, http://www.rachelstarrthomson.com/inklings/ , now a two-time winner.
Latest In Spec.
Assuming I work out my email difficulties, I’ll be sending out a call for news after the tour, so start gathering the information you’d like to announce.
November’s Book.
I received my copy of The Curse of the Spider King today. If yours hasn’t come yet, it should arrive soon. If not, let me know after the tour.
October Tour.
The tour for Haunt of Jackals by Eric Wilson (Thomas Nelson) begins Monday, October 19 and runs through Wednesday, October 21. Don’t forget the importance of including the book link I give you though you are free to include another Amazon link as well.
As always, we encourage you to participate in the tour all three days with your own posts and with comments to other participating blogs. Those who requested a review copy of the book are expected to write a review, though as you know, we ask for your honest opinion, not token approval.
Another reminder: those who are able to post each day will be in the running for the CSFF Top Tour Blogger Award. After the tour, be sure to take time to vote in the poll at A Christian Worldview of Fiction for the blogger that posted your favorite three articles. Don’t forget, CSFF Blog Tour members who do not participate in the tour officially can still comment on other blogs and vote for the Top Tour Blogger.
Opting in and Out of the Tour (Please Read).

Schedule.
At present, our schedule for the coming months is as follows:

If you’ve heard talk about the recent changes in the FTC regulations affecting book bloggers, don’t worry because these do not take affect until December 1. By then I hope to pass along to you the specifics that apply to us and to give you a sample disclosure statement.
God’s care.
