Today I’m pleased to bring you an interview with N. C. Scrimgeour, author of Sea of Souls. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to N. C. Scrimgeour for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? I do, even though I know I shouldn’t! Good reviews always put a smile on my face, and even the morecritical ones can be helpful in terms of self-reflection. There are always a couple that get under your skin,but I know as a reader I don’t enjoy every book either, so I try to just move on quickly and not let it botherme. At the end of the day, whether review is positive or negative, someone has taken the time andconsideration to engage […]

Today I’m proud to bring you an interview with Connor Jackson, author of The Bindings of Woe. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to Joseph John Lee for answering my questions. Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? I do read reviews whenever I can. It’s one of the best parts of being an author, finally getting to see what people think about your book that you’ve worked for so long on. With all kinds of reviews I just try to read without getting too excited or bummed out and see what people do and don’t like so I can think about what I want to do with that information. Criticism is just as important as praise in my opinion, as […]

Today I’m proud to bring you an interview with Joseph John Lee, author of The Bleeding Stone. This interview is part of my stop on the blog tour organized by Escapist Book Co. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and thank you to Joseph John Lee for answering my questions. Interview Do you read reviews of your books? If so, how do you handle bad or good reviews? I do, both good and bad reviews. For one, I don’t get many reviews just yet as it is, so I am always appreciative of those who will leave even a couple sentences, regardless of their feelings on the book – they took the time to read it, so I always like to give it right back and read what they had to say. I think with more negative reviews particularly, they may still offer something constructive for me to think […]

Today I have an interview with Benjamin Aeveryn, author of Salt in the Wound. This post is part of the Escapist Book Co’s blog tour for Salt in the Wound. Thank you for allowing me to participate, and a big thank you to Benjamin Aeveryn for answering my questions! Interview What is the best way you’ve found to market your books? I’m still pretty new to publishing, so I don’t have a whole lot of experience to draw from. That said,the three big things for me have been cover, pitch, and newsletter. Put in the time and money toget an eye-catching cover suitable for your genre. File down your back cover copy to a 1-2sentence pitch that catches people’s attention—I actually have a small selection and I alternatebetween them to get a feel for what works best. Set up a newsletter so you have somewhere todirect your readers once they’ve […]

Hello everyone! Today we have a special treat – an interview with Kaitlyn Hill, the author of Not Here to Stay Friends. This interview is part of the blog tour for Not Here to Stay Friends, brought to you by TBR & Beyond Tours. Interview Do you plan to read reviews of “Not Here to Stay Friends” and if you do, how will yourespond to negative reviews? I generally don’t seek out reviews! They’re a space meant for readers, and I respect reviewers’ right to share opinions freely while also protecting myself from having to take in a whole spectrum of opinions on work that’s already out in the world. What was your favorite book as a child and do you think it influenced “Not Here to StayFriends”? Growing up, I was obsessed with Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls series, about an all girls spy school. While I’ve yet to write anything […]
