January 2010, the Pioneer Cemetery, Phoenix, Arizona, Sharon (who is known to everyone in the blogger world as Autumnforest) and I met in person at Debe's workshop. From then on we hit the road together many times in search of abandoned places and old cemeteries around the state. Those abandoned places inspired our book we coauthored: Abandoned Places: Abandoned Memories. (Look on the sidebar for links to the book for sale on Kindle and Nook.)
We got the idea for hug-a-blogger after we met another blogger, Devin (MyFavoriteMonsters). It started as an idea for a book. We would hit the road and meet other bloggers we were following. Bloggers who had the same interests but had their own uniques paranormal stories. This trip was going to be documented by us by blogging a post, tweeting game questions, and showing pictures or videos on facebook. Sharon pitched the idea to a publisher but no one wanted to take a chance financing a couple of unknowns. Basically we posted a few things to the blog, twitter and facebook, but it stayed inactive for a few months.
Just recently Sharon came up with an idea to revamp the Hug-a-Blogger blog and concept. Here is what she posted on her blog: http://autumnforestghosthunter.blogspot.com/2011/03/hug-blogger-blogging-social-site.html
