It is so cool the people I get to meet now!
I had the honor of interviewing author Morgan Mandel, who founded Book Place here on Ning. Thanks again, Morgan!
Tell us about Book Place!
Book Place is a ning network I created almost 2 years ago. I’d heard of Crimespace on ning and joined. When I discovered its owner was very strict about promotional efforts by the members, I decided to provide a network where members would not be afraid to promote. Actually, I encourage my members to promo…

I'd taunted my fans for months - and today, they finally got to read the big announcement concerning the future of my series!
Response has been really positive, although I am sure they are bummed that the final book won't come out until March 2010.
I also updated the site this past week with many new photos, articles and links, and I reorganized the pages.

Author of Conner and the Crosswinds series, Kevin Gerard's next book, Surviving an Altered World, comes out in December. I had the opportunity to interview Kevin about his series:
This series seemed to spark to life during your childhood – did you share Conor or any of those adventures with your own boys when they were young?
Yes, as a matter of fact, a few of the Crossworlds Champions’ personalities are based on what I’ve learned about my boys during their lives. I guess it’s ti…

I send out a newsletter for The Circle of Friends every month to my fan base. One of the sections features another talented author. My fan base is young adults (and adults as well), so if you are an author with a book or series aimed at this group, please contact me. I'll accept any genre of YA, but it must be CLEAN.

The Book ‘Em Foundation was formed to fight illiteracy and keep kids from committing crimes. Their slogan is “Buy a book, stop a crook.” There are several Book ‘Em events now and many authors attend and donate proceeds of their books to the cause.
This year’s Book ‘Em in Waynesboro, VA, was another incredible experience. In addition to the main even Saturday, many of the authors visit the surrounding schools. I visited five classrooms, teaching the kids how to create a believable character. Oth…

Check out the Book 'Em website for a festival near you or to see who is appearing at this weekend's event - there's a full list of talks & discussions, too.

Last year I got to meet an incredible individual, Chaplain Bob Johnson.
His book, "I Saw God", chronicles his experience at Ground Zero after 9/11.
I recently interviewed Bob, and don't let his simple answers fool you - he's an incredibly passionate person and his book will touch your heart!
Thanks Bob for sharing your experience with the world!
Describe “I Saw God” and what readers will experience through this book:
This book was written so others could experience the events that to…

I met Austin a few years ago at a large book festival and receive his newsletter every week. He is always on the go, too! (I thought I was a road warrior, but wow!) Austin was gracious enough to give me some quotes for my upcoming non-fiction book, "Overcoming Obstacles With Spunk! The Keys to leadership & Goal-Setting", and even had time to answer some questions.
Thank you, Austin!
I envy anyone who can write mystery/thriller! How did you come to select that genre for your main series?…

Recently I was blessed to meet a new author & friend and she agreed to answer some questions. Her path into the world of EZines intrigued me, as it is yet another opportunity for authors to reach an audience. She is involved in many other areas, including the American Cancer Society and the Kentucky Humane Society. I was touched by her caring attitude and know many will benefit from her today as well! Welcome, Lynn!
From where did the inspiration for Afterthoughts come? How did you come…

I had the opportunity to interview Jill Lubin and here is a little about her latest book:
In an easy-to-read format, GET NOTICED…GET REFERRALS shows consumers how to carefully cultivate and develop relationships by using the same principles publicists and brand managers use to obtain more attention to their products. The book explains how to create an effective sound bite and memorable introductory. It then coaches readers on how to convey a consistent "brag message" that can be used to produce…
