New Idea for My Blog

I have always been a fan of reading other authors' blogs. I am sure that a lot of you feel the same way--getting inside the head of a successful writer is often an intriguing thing simply because these minds are extremely dedicated and creative.

In this light, I have decided to interview several different authors over the next few weeks. This is exciting for me because, even as a writer myself, this is a way for me to see how other authors' minds work and it is also a great way to support independent writers. In today's world of tough competition, authors need a lot of help and effort to become a success.

But it is possible. There are many self-published authors that are extremely successful. Their tips on how to self-promote can go a long way toward making sense of the new digital book age. It's the effort put into the story today that sells copies, especially with $0.99 books available at Amazon and other self-publishing outlet. Searching for the pearls in all those oyster-books is tough. My interviews are intended to help the reader sort this glut of books out for themselves.

My first interview will be Kenneth Hoss, a mystery writer whose second book will be released in the late spring of 2012. His first book, Storm Rising, is a great read so I really look forward to taking a peek into his thoughts.
