One of the most overlooked aspects of promotion for writers is the author interview. They are free, let you promote yourself, your book, and your website. And, they don’t require any expert promotion help or advanced book selling skills.

Waiting for Reviews is stressful. It is the first glimpse from the general public - and the first measure of success (or failure) for a book. As usual, I skimmed through all the ’summary’ of my novel, The Pledge, and hit the reviewer’s comments - she loved the book.
Of course, loving the book in a review has [...]
