New In-Depth Interview With Me at Writer Unboxed

Last Friday, part
1 of an interview with me went live over at Writer Unboxed. Here's a quick snippet:

Overall, social media tools—and I use that term broadly, to
include all types of person-to-person interaction online—have driven transparency
and opportunities to communicate with and reach a very distinctive and unique audience.
Who's to say that these things are antithetical to authorship, or to book marketing,
when they simply weren't possible or practical behaviors before?

I'd argue: What's important to book marketing and authorship
has not changed, but tools are now available that allow a natural behavior
to be more readily expressed—which is the ability for an author to reach and engage
with his audience. Most authors have always been interested in this interaction. Of
course, this becomes a very philosophical conversation very quickly, because I know
some authors distinctly want to avoid contact with readers.

read the full interview, and be on the lookout for part 2 later this week.
