Yesterday I threw a little idea out into the Twitterverse -
a new spot on the blog called ‘FUNKY
FRIDAY’ where I interview writers, reviewers and readers. This will be aside from my usual weekly blog
posts.
It was just the seed of an idea. I’ve featured on so many other blogs, and had
the occasional visit from fellow Indies here on mine, so I thought I’d see if anyone wanted to take me up on the offer to make
it a regular feature.
My day disappeared!
So many lovely people jumped at the idea and were willing to see what I
had to ask them. Tweet after tweet, DM
after DM and email after email! I now
have nearly forty people lined up for a slot!
So … each Friday, for as long as the interest is maintained,
I’ll be interviewing either a writer or a reader/reviewer. I’ll include all links to their books, blogs,
Facebook, Twitter etc. and aim to ask questions that are slightly different to
the norm.
I’ll also include a NEWSFLASH section at the end so that anyone involved in the project
can include their book-related news.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who has given this support -
let’s make this fun and something that works for all of us.
