Marketing is a big part of being an author in today’s world regardless if you are independently or traditionally published.  It’s something that does NOT come naturally to me.  I struggle all the time with it. Part of the marketing is to go out and speak to people about writing. My writing. My books. I don’t have a problem with public speaking; however, I find it difficult to discover venues where interested people gather.

This coming week I have an opportunity to speak to a group of readers about my series The Sons of Magnolia Meyers. I’m excited and nervous. I have my presentation all worked out and hope people enjoy hearing about some of the things I did while writing the books as well as how I came up with the ideas and name my characters. I’ve mentioned several of these same things here on my blog.

I’m hoping the questions people ask will give me additional ideas for topics to share with you here on my blog. So stay tuned! I’ll have some new information next week.
