@ Jessica. Where do you want me to send the interview questions?
@ Petrea My novel is about a group of women who first met in high school in a small town in Northern California. Most of the story is set at Lake Tahoe. Is that too far from your focus geography?
@Karen If you give me your email address, I'll send you my interview questions. BTW, I commented on your cover on your website.
Comment by Barbara Ehrentreu on March 19, 2012 at 12:55am @Petrea I am also on Goodreads with my own name too. When you get on there you will find a lot of people will want to be your friend. Add all your books to your shelves and people who like your picks will want to be your friend. You subscribe to the updates to see what your friends are doing. Also you can send a note to someone to friend them. It's very easy. Also you can join discussion groups that are a lot of fun and they are also reading too. I have my book listed there too. My publisher did it for us, but unfortunately, I had to add the cover. For some reason it didn't go through. Check out my page and friend me.:)

Comment by Barbara Ehrentreu on March 18, 2012 at 11:56pm @Andrea, yes I was on Poetic Asides!! Are you on Poeming Friends? It's on Facebook and anyone who has had poetry on PA is welcome. Do you remember Pearl? She is very visible here too.:) I was in the first anthology we produced and now we are in the middle of producing a second one.
Thank you so much for letting me know how you feel about my poetry.:) It's like I have two hats now. I'm busy promoting my book and working on this anthology at the same time.:) Hope to see you on Goodreads. Did you post a lot on PA? I remember your name.
Comment by Jessica Vealitzek on March 18, 2012 at 6:34pm Judith and all -- I'm interested in the interview/post/blog exchange. So please put me on your list to contact. My site is www.jessicavealitzek.com. Thanks!
Comment by Petrea Burchard on March 18, 2012 at 6:10pm I would love to host blog posts. I'm a little restricted: my blog is called Pasadena Daily Photo and my Guest Authors either live in, are from, or write about the San Gabriel Valley (California). I'm happy to stretch the boundaries of that in any way we can think of as long as I'm being true to and honest with my followers (over 600 of them and I value every single one!). So if you've got an angle let's talk about it. I love hosting guest authors and my readers like them, too.
Comment by MaryLynn Bast on March 18, 2012 at 5:56pm My first novel No Remorse is set to be released April 4th. I am trying to fill my calendar and am available to do interviews and blog posts. And will return the favor. If anyone has interview/blog posts spots available for April 4-May 4, please let me know.
Comment by Karen A. Wyle on March 18, 2012 at 5:05pm I'd like to join this blog-interview exchange! My blog, re miscellaneous subjects, is at http://looking-around.blogspot.com.
Okay, sounds like we have a deal. I'll contact those interested when I have my questions drafted. Once we post each other's interviews, we can share them on twitter, facebook and any other groups we belong to.
