I'll check, but I think we are connected in all areas. Except Facebook, but I'm not on it.
Nice to meet you, Carrie Butler!
You have loads of links Carrie. Will check them out.
Hey Carrie,
Nice Follow Fest button you made for Melissa. Also, I now have you on my FB and Twitter lists. You were already G+.
M.L. Swift, Writer
I stalk you already. :P
Thanks for participating! :D
Hahahaha! Think, ‘cyber meet-and-greet with social media links for business cards. Love it!
Wow, you're on so many social media platforms! I'm impressed. :)
I have the impression that I already know you. *grins*
Great blog fest. My post goes up tomorrow!
Carrie, I love your style. Have I told you that before?
Hi Carrie! I think I'm as connected as I can get with you online. :-)
Well, I know I'm hooked in on your blog and loved visiting your website :-)
Makes sense! Ninjas are adept at following people. :)
Haha! Nice to meet you, too, Jeff. ;)
Actually, now that I think of it, I think we've known each other over two years. Crazy, huh?
I'm everywhere! Thanks, Sheena-kay. :)
Hey M.L.,
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. :)
You most certainly do... :P
Thanks for hosting!
It's a lot of fun! If you haven't already, you should join in. :)
Thanks, Meredith! :)
Well, hello, and nice to "meet" you! Thanks for the great Follow Fest button. I'll check out your blog for sure :)
Finally! A list of all the places I can avoid--er, I mean FOLLOW Carrie Butler! :P I'm with Alex, I think I'm already cyber-attached to your hip in all of those places. :)
Cool blogfest Melissa!
I wish I knew about this Blogfest earlier. Just checked and we are connected on all relevant social networking sites.
Good Lord, how on earth do you keep up with all your social media outlets? I'm tired just reading that list!
Wow, you have a lot of social media links! I didn't realize how many I actually had until I started listing them all on my blog. I have trouble keeping up with all mine; how do you manage all of yours/
Good luck with your new venture! I'm following you now on Twitter, FB, and Goodreads.
Hi Carrie, great meeting you through Follow Fest today! I've gone and stalked--I mean followed you--online:) Also, the world must be getting smaller and smaller because I know that I've seen your book cover several times. I recognized it instantly. And I agree with others; you have a lot of social media profiles! I guess I have some catching up to do...
I've seen your name around. Good to finally meet you!
Yes, it's like we've met somewhere. Maybe an alley... *grins*
Thank you, Crystal! I happen to love your style, too. I ogle your blog every time I'm over there. :D
Yay! Thank you, Natasha. :)
Thank you, Angela! I appreciate that. :D
I didn't know you did all that! You're quite talented!
Nice to meet you, too! :)
It's not too late to join! Just head over to Melissa's blog. :)
Har, har, har... :P
It's nice to "meet" you, too, Liz! Thanks for stopping by. :D
ADD + insomnia. ;)
I prioritize. Facebook and Twitter have the highest level of engagement, so they get the most attention. My blogs are on schedules, so I try to plan posts ahead of time. And the others are rotated as needed. :)
Thank you, Milo! I appreciate that. :)
This is a great idea for a blogfest. Sorry I missed it!
I already knew about your awesomeness, Carrie, but it was fun reading about it again. :D
Well this is cool! I stumbled on you from Jessie Humphries site...the follow fest sounds fun. :)
Edge of Your Seat Romance
Hi Carrie!
I think its so awesome how you've developed your own design business. I wish you all the best with it, and it sounds like fun to be your own boss and do what you love!
Hi, Quanie! It's great to meet you, too. :)
I love that you recognized my book cover! That makes me so happy. I'm off to stalk--er, follow--you now!
It's good to finally meet you, too, Loni! :)
Thank you very much, Sherry! :D
It's not too late, Stina! Head on over to Melissa's blog. :D And thank you!
Oh, Jessie is so fun! I love her. :) Nice to meet you, Raquel!
Hey Megan!
Thank you, my friend! The hardest part about it is that I'm an evil boss. I never let myself take breaks! LOL
Nice to meet you Carrie! (;
It's really nice to meet you Carrie :)
Awesome learning more about you and what you write Glad you write some fantasy like me..
what an awesome fest! and you have so much to offer!
I've subscribed to your feed (email) and should now be following you on Twitter. I'll be interested in seeing how you handle having multiple Facebook pages, although I'll have to wait until I get home from work before I can view them.
Congratulations on publishing "Strength." Very inspiring to see all the ways you are available to connect with online. Looking forward to following and learning more as I delve into developing a web presence.
Haha! You too, Elise. ;)
You too, Joss! :)
Your work precedes you, Carrie. I've seen Strength around for a while now. Nice cover.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Carrie! Nice job on the Follow Fest Logo!
Pretty much following you everywhere already. :-)
I'm seeing this all over the blogosphere. Awesome.
Thanks, Natalie! The fantasy WIP has been consuming my thoughts, lately. My PNR series may get a little derailed... LOL
Thanks, Tara! :D
This is the first I've heard of this--great idea!
I think we're connected everywhere - following your Forward Authority sites now. Good luck with the business! :)
I already follow you, but I thought I'd stop by and say hi. :)
Been seeing you a lot lately floating around in the blogger world :) glad we could finally connect!
Clicked on everyplace I wasn't following you already. I love Follow Fest.
Carrie, Strength is next in my pile of books to read. Can't wait!
Thank you, Ken! I try my best. :)
Hi there! New fan and follower from Follow Fest. Nice to meet you, and nice to learn some things about you!!
Hi Carrie! Nice to meet you. It seems that you keep very busy. :)

Good to meet you, Carrie! I love the typewriter image at the top of the page. Just curious: what made you reacquire your rights to Strength?
Thank you, Sara! I appreciate that. :) I'll be over to follow you, too!
I'm so glad to hear that, J.L.! Thank you. :D

A pleasure to meet you, Randi! :)
Nice to meet you, too, Skye! I do, but I enjoy it. :)
Thanks, Jennifer! It's nice to meet you, too. :) Basically, my publisher closed to submissions, and I had a partially-published series. I figured it was best to start over--or at least, try.
Boy, you're into so much! I've found other ways to follow you than I did before. It's nice to learn more about you in this follow fest. Writer’s Mark
IT's been great reviewing your post and meeting you.
That's great, Nancy! Thank you. :D
It's nice to meet you, too, Judith! :)
Nice genre choices :) I'm up for all of those! Was nuts about fantasy all through high school & beyond, but thankfully I've expanded my tastes so I like all sorts of books now. Both reading and writing them. ;)
Why thank you! :)
