I have done nearly fifty author interviews since 2011 and I add a few each month!

Anyone in this group who has published at least one book and seeks an interview is welcome to email me at [email protected].

Here is where I index my interviews. Click on the author's face to find the interview link on my website.

What an impressive list.

An interesting use of Pinterest... I love it!

Thanks, guys.

That is a great use of Pintrest.

If only I had updated it within the last six months...

That's a good point. You can have all the 'footprints' you want on the internet...maintaining all that is a royal headache.

I'm knicking good ideas this week. Not sure if I want a pinterest account though.

A pain in the backside. Mind you, Matt has is Twitter presence nicely automated, a lesson to us all. If only I could find the time to do the initial setup...

Twitter is still beyond me. There are just too many tweets flying around.

I received email from Twitter yesterday: "How to have a conversation on Twitter" and thought, "If they need to tell me this after five years, what else haven't they told me?" Not that you can have a conversation in 140 characters anyway. Twitter is good only to prove you're alive. But it conveniently crossposts to Facebook, so it may be semi-useful for gaining name recognition.

I use feed140 which is free and easy but has limited functionality. Those willing to pay for a more elaborate setup, with crossposting and such, use hootsuite or socialoomph, which aren't expensive, but honestly anything feels expensive to me when it comes to Internet services.

Far from wanting to pay them, I take the view that I provide high-class information and entertainment, on the back of which they sell advertising, so the boot is on the other foot: they should pay me!

Back to the original topic of this thread -- I have just sent off interview questions to Mitch Horowitz, who is an alternative-spirituality author and an editor at Penguin. Very nervous -- he has done interview for the mass media and I am not in the same league with them. If we did not have mutual friends, such as Sally Feather (daughter of J.B. Rhine) I doubt he would have considered it.

Look forward to the interview, Matt. You shouldn't sell yourself short: you do a very good interview indeed.

Obligatory off-topic remark: I don't want to flatter you lot any more, because your heads are big enough already, but can't help noticing the axiomatic assumption by Matt that everyone here will know who J B Rhine was; I called on him during my grand tour of the United States to present the compliments of a favorite tutor.
