Authoring a Book is a Full Time Job
A huge amount of work goes into writing, publishing and marketing a book. Many authors exert a lot of effort toward connecting with readers, whether on book tour, at major author events or on social media. I have been extremely fortunate to have met and been in conversation with so many talented authors, in person, via email and online. Hearing about how books I love came to be, makes me appreciate them even more, so I try to include Author Q & A in as many reviews as I can. Sharing the author’s thoughts, intentions and process can make the reading experience richer and even more fulfilling. Here are some author interviews – hope you enjoy!
