Talking Fiction with Carolyn Howard-Johnson

On the Air - Just the FAQs Podcast - featuring a variety of guests working in the business of writing

Carolyn Howard-Johnson is an amazing woman. I could sit at her feet all day and listen to her talk about books, marketing, and her life. She's been there and done that and has the books and awards to show for it.

I'm delighted to present another wonderful two-part interview with Carolyn. This time she discusses writing fiction with insights into her own writing process. Carolyn candidly shares how she based her novel, This is the Place, and her collection of short stories, Harkening, on her own life experience.

In the second part of the interview we discuss more ways to market a fiction book including the role of online marketing as well as the emergence of e-books, virtual tours, and how giving "freebies" create buzz. We also chat more about poetry and unique and fun ways Carolyn has marketed her own writings.

Join us for this fun, insightful, and engaging chat on Just the FAQs Podcast.

New WordPress Series Now Available

I’m pleased to announce the launch of the new WordPress series of e-books from Just the FAQs. The first set of three e-books details everything you need to know about creating, optimizing, and running a site on WordPress.com.

The 90 page Reference Manual covers every aspect of WordPress with screenshots and detailed descriptions of each element and link available.

The 30 page RSS Feeds book guides you step-by-step through setting up, fully customizing, and optimizing the feeds supplied on some WordPress.com templates or setting up feeds with FeedBurner and installing them on your site.

The 14 page Quick Start Guide takes you through the essential steps of customizing the look of your new WordPress site, making your first post and creating more pages on your site.

The books are available individually or as a full set with special savings.

Another full set of books on WordPress.org sites is already in the works and will be available later this fall.
