"A Week In Review"

It's been a very busy week for me. On Wednesday, I left my yoga class early so that I could tune into a teleseminar by Steve Harrison to learn more about making more as an author/expert in any economy. He gave listeners some great tips including how to expand our income pool by hosting seminars, webinars, workshops and being a coach. In addition, he mentioned how important it is to revisit our marketing strategy to make sure that we're getting the most from it. Overall, it was very enlightening and I'll definitely be using some of these marketing tools to get the word out about my novel, Gotta Let It Go.

Then on Thursday, I had an interview with Patrick Tandy, Publications Manager, Bar Bulletin (Maryland State Bar Association). The interview was scheduled for only 30 minutes but we ended up talking about books, marketing, publications, all things Baltimore and then some for about 2 hours. I enjoyed the interview and I look forward to seeing the print interview in the Bar Bulletin in mid-May.

I enjoy writing romantic mystery fiction. The idea for this particular novel just seemed to evolve organically from my imagination. Is there any particular author or book that influenced you in any way either growing up or as an adult? I would have to say reading the Bible was influential.
