Why Do I Host a Show on Blog Talk Radio?

If you had told me that I'd be hosting my own Blog Talk Radio show (Book & Crime Talk) a year ago, I would have said you're crazy. No way. It's interesting how my author journey has zigged and zagged over the last year and half. It's been a fun, challenging road that's for sure. Things continue to fall into place and I couldn't be happier. I'm very thankful. Timing really seems to be the key.

My decision to host a show twice a month showcasing other thriller/suspense/mystery authors was something that I thought about for a while. I realized during my journey that there are so many wonderful, talented writers out there that deserve to get more recognition and exposure. What a great way for me to give back for the wonderful interviews and reviews that I've received. Not to mention, it's been really fun getting to know other authors and talk about books.

The next question to myself was… Can I really do this? I was nervous because it's one thing to want to showcase and interview an author on a radio show and completely another to be able to do so effectively. Basically, I didn't want to make a fool of myself. I just kept in mind that it's a casual conversation for listeners to get to know an author and what their book is about. I figured I could handle that!

The other side to my show is conducting interviews with individuals in the criminal justice system, such as police detectives, criminal psychologists, profilers, and other forensic personnel. I want to give listeners a little more insight into what forensic science and criminology is all about. The "real" deal. It's a big part of my life and I want to share it.

After I gave all of this some serious thought, I jumped in and began hosting Book & Crime Talk. It's one of those unexpected little surprises that presented itself to me. I hope you take some time to listen to some of my previously recorded shows or listen live to an upcoming show. I would love to hear from you.
