UPCOMING AUTHORS…

As you probably read on the homepage, I recently put out a request on HARO (Help A Reporter Out) to interview authors for my new “10 Questions for…” section. In one night I received more than 500 responses. And they’re still coming in as I type this. So, I’ve decided that the best way to make sure as many authors as possible get free publicity is to create a separate page. I’ll try to tag the interviews by name and/or topic so you can scroll through to the topics that most interest you. Please feel free to ask questions related to writing, their books, etc. And click through to their blog/Web site to pay them a visit and possibly buy their books. Thanks!
