Weekend Name Drop blog series

[Antony]

This year, I've been writing a weekly blog series called the Weekend Name Drop. In the series, I've featured people I know involved in all sorts of creative endeavours, but predominantly New Zealand authors.

My most recent author is P.D.R. Lindsay well-known by many in this Goodreads group. You can read p.d.r.'s post here: https://antonymillen.com/2016/12/15/w...

And if you'd like to check out others in the series, look through the list with links here. I've featured:

Yes that is the one I read.

[P.D.R.]

Owe you Antony! That's a lovely piece, thank you!

[Antony]

There she is! No problem - I enjoyed meeting you and your input in Goodreads forums.

[P.D.R.]

It's been a good series to read, Antony and I've enjoyed catching most of them. But it is hard work. Are you going to do it this year too?

[Antony]

Thank you, p.d.r. It was very hard work - Each post was enjoyable, but took time away from other writing. I'm done with it, but will continue to share posts about various people whenever something new happens, like a book launch, etc.,

[P.D.R.]

Yes, the PR work gets more demanding. But I find if we don't do a twice a year boost and sell our ebooks for 99cents on a special promotion then we don't make any sales. the PR pushes do fade down to one or two a week but that's better than nothing.
