You are SO good at showcasing indie authors, who usually don’t have the deep pockets and wider influence of traditionally published authors. Thanks, Barbara!
Hi Marian – thank you! Social media and blogging, though overwhelming and time consuming, is a great way to get the word out about authors and books. It’s hard to be a writer AND promote your work. I enjoy doing these interviews and am glad to have so many interested authors!
