Mystery Blogger R’s 2013 theme: “My A-Z theme is linkage. Every day (at 7:00 a.m. EST), I’m going to list three helpful industry links per letter, and then I’ll ask for suggestions in the comments—that way, we can pool our resources!”
R is for Research:
All Experts - This is a fantastic place to find a “real life” expert for your toughest questions. Just be sure to check out their credentials.
TV Tropes - This site reminds me of the awesome DPK. Tropes galore!
Lydia Kang’s Medical Mondays & Redwood’s Medical Edge - Both have a great collection of medical facts for fiction.
Who is it? HINT: This blogger is a savvy Indie author.

Hey Lee,
How did I miss this post? What was I thinking? Congrats to Lexa and Gary! Chronologically, anything I now type, as per usual, perhaps, would have absolutely no bearing on this post.
Despite the backtracking to the post, I'm still your starstruckest fan!
Gary
I love the TV Tropes site! I use it all the time!

I love Medical Mondays with Lydia. I always learn such interesting things!!
I love that you are posting such helpful links…just for that, you earned a new follower : ) Happy Day after Easter!
This is a great theme but I'm not a writer…. thus I know very few.
You know what, Lee? I give up. I'm just curious about the cat's tie breaking and shenanigans with catnips. I hardly ever know the answers. Except Tyrean, I knew Tyrean's. Oh, and Alex's! Yay!?!? o_0
Congratulations to Lexa and Gary :d
Lydia's Medical Mondays are amazing. She's helped me out several times - the latest about literally poking your eye out.
Hmm, I don't know this one. But the theme sounds fantastic! Have a great week. 🙂
I know some savvy indie authors, but they aren't taking part in the challenge. (Hmm, does that make them less savvy? ^_~)

I do not have a guess, but I love the clues. 🙂 As I love the theme, so clever! Hard to believe A to Z rolled around again, and now it's hard to believe it's almost over. Time flies when you are having fun!
I've always appreciated Lydia's blogs. She helped with research regarding a virus strain that will spill over into a future book.
I saw so many, I don't remember who had that theme last year.
Research is fun. In fact, I often find such interesting information while researching I get sidetracked and spend the day reading instead of writing. 🙂
Quite a lot of universities also have a find an expert function on their websites.
Well I want to say Susan Kaye Quinn, but I'm sure I'm wrong. There was someone else I read who talked about Lydia's wonderful feature not too long ago, but I can't remember who it was.

I just cannot think
My brain is on the blink
I've lost my rhyming mojo
Seems I'm on a slow mo…
Well, this is a slight improvement from last week… maybe it'll get better as the week rolls on…
research is what keeps me writing what i already know 😉
My brain is getting dusty or I don't visit this blogger regularly.
Hi Lee - having read all the comments I'm really none the wiser! I'll need to be patient .. but this is a great theme if one can remember anyone - oh yes I knew me .. but missed J for a few days .. such is life .. cheers Hilary
No idea but I must check back tomorrow and find out.
too bad those are not chocolate industry links…..
This is a great theme, at any rate! Very useful information
I"m thinking it's Laura Diamond… she does her mental illness posts on Monday…
SO interesting to get into the heads of our characters! Don't you think?
I should've known Elizabeth Seckmen for the "Q" blogger! Oy!
I don't know today's, either. I see Alex guessed Carrie Butler, who I know, but I wouldn't have guessed her for this.
Where was I when this blogger was posting such valuable information?! Oh, yes. Last year was a travel year. This is the failing of my local school district to offer Spring Break according to holidays rather than when it is most suitable for their students! Twice Spring Break has interfered with my A to Z love! Anyway, I don't know the blogger AND I value their work, just as I value YOURS! (Does sucking up count for a point or two?)
Its Monday. I have nothing funny to add.

Sucking up counts BIG time.
The bad news is I'm not sure about the blogger…the good news is that I recently got a link to a really good medical info blog just for writers trying to write medical scenes. Helpful almost makes up for being dumb. 😉
http://www.medicalscenewriter.blogspot.com/
Noting that link! Good addition to this post, Lexa.
Once again, I'm an ignoramus.
Never.
My conclusion: I must read things and then let them drift into neverland. I don't know. 🙁
My notebook and I are close. Without him I'm clueless.
I wish I was a savvy rememberer of things. I'm assuming Alex's guess was correct, but then again I assumed that Alex would have the first comment again. Angela must have been pulling an all-nighter..

That's my guess. How else could she have taken that top slot?
Not sure either. But I love Lydia's medical Mondays!
Great help for those medical scenes.
*shrugs* with Natalie. But as far as research - I just got deeper insight into the setting Lydia created in her book. Whoa… I can't wait to read it!
Love it when the insights happen for me.
So not good at this contest. But it's lots of fun.
Hang in there Natalie. I'm surprised at how many bloggers have guessed correctly.
Carrie Butler!
There, I wasn't first.
Of course, neither was Gary…
My heart stopped when I didn't see your post up there at the top!
There are sever savvy Indie authors out there. You're one of them. The one that this makes me think of is Susan Kaye Quinn. Not sure if that's right. Maybe it's S.R. Johannes. Darn…now I've confused myself lol!
Angela! You're first. How did you do this?
