What was the craziest or insane thing that happened to you in the book publishing process?
I have enjoyed learning what to do at each step in the process. And I am blessed that everything went smoothly with my first book. Here’s one thing I tried, that I decided afterwards was a mistake. Right after I received copies of my book, my hubby and I were eating lunch at a bistro and there were a group of gals at a nearby table having a lady’s day out. Hubs and I decided I should walk over and introduce myself and give them a copy of my book. I thought it would be a fun and friendly thing to do. They thought I was weird and pushy. So- no more glomming on to strangers for me! But I would be interested to know if this has worked for other authors.
How about the social networks? Which ones do you believe help and which ones do you wish you could avoid?
I love the social networks!! Twitter is my favorite. I have made so many real friends. Other authors have been encouraging and positive. I have also learned so much about the book biz by reading other pros’ blogs. I spend 4-6 hours a day on Twitter and Facebook, and writing my own blog.
What is one thing you’d like to jump on the rooftop and scream about?
“Come drink wine with me and let’s talk about books!”
What is something people may be surprised to know about you?
I tried oysters and caviar for the first time this year, and loved them both.
What are 10 words that best describe you?
Happy, friendly, positive, pretty, smart, witty, determined, creative, even-tempered, homebody. You asked!
