Q9: Why did you start a humorous newsletter about the behind the scenes happenings of being an author?

A sense of humor helps an author get through the rejections and struggles to become well known. Plus, I found it surprising what happens to an author after being published. You don’t get to go back to writing. Nooooo, you have to market the book, do radio and TV shows, schedule and do tour events, and travel to bookstores or event sites without getting lost or having a flat tire. I thought my readers would enjoy a view behind the scenes so I started the newsletter.
Good marketing. They were baby chickens.

I was right. Time after time I’ve had readers tell me how enjoyable the newsletter is. Some have been reading since 1999 when I post the first newsletter on the Internet.
