When author R.J. Keller first queried us to review her book, Waiting for Spring, back in 2009, we sadly turned her down. However, her book began getting so much attention, I decided to revisit it and bought a copy for myself. My review of it is #101 from August 2009 if you care to read it. Since then, R. J. and I have become great online friends through Facebook, Twitter, and other blogs. I have a lot of respect for her as a writer, so when her book was acquired by Amazon Encore last year I asked R.J. for an interview. She gladly accepted. But to make things fun and interesting for us and for our readers, we decided to do the interview via Twitter. So, our questions and her answers had to be 142 characters or less. Enjoy!
Yesterday, I reviewed Nick Nolan’s Double Bound, recently re-released with AmazonEncore after having first been published with BookSurge. I had the pleasure recently of interviewing Nick and learning about his experience with AmazonEncore.
Originally published with BookSurge in 2008, Nick Nolan’s Double Bound was just republished as part of the AmazonEncore program. AE is where Amazon.com recognizes books that may have been overlooked but may have great potential, and then partner with the authors to re-release them and help market them better to readers. It obviously is working, or at least for Nick Nolan, because I would probably not have read his book otherwise. Double Bound is a sequel to his first book, Strings Attached, which was republished with AmazonEncore earlier this year.
