As the summer of 2021 arrived so did lots of extra duties. The authors still graciously gave their time to answer my questions, but I had less time to do the interview. I still wanted to give you all a chance to catch up on the stories and processes of some fantastic writers.

Below are the interviews for the remainder of 2021.
What can one say about James Reasoner, but Wow? He has written so many wonderful stories and has managed one-million words per year for the past few years. I am in awe. It is a goal worth pursuing for any author. James Reasoner Interview

I hope to do at least one quarterly post about marketing. Hopefully the information I glean from the marketing department where I work, or other sources will be of use to some of you.
I am starting with what we call a content calendar. I try to begin with a calendar that lists holidays for that month. The one below was available online. I also note if the month has significance. For example, March is National Women's History Month. These pieces of information are the baseline I will use as I schedule the various posts, both blog, and other social media.
Once I print the below calendar, I fill in the days where blog posts are scheduled. Next, I will note the days for social media. If I have a bookversary or new release coming soon, I will tie those pieces in with the holidays for that month.
I do not post 'marketing' pieces, ie. where I ask people to buy my book. Instead, I work to develop relationships or followers who like what I share. Most know my passion is history, women's history, Colorado History, the Old West, philosophy, and of course, Authors. Therefore, if it is an original post, it will usually be one of the above subjects.
