Laura asked L.T. Graham:

Have you done in person author events such as reading from your works at libraries or book stores? Are these kinds of events enjoyable or stressful for an author? Have you been featured on author interviews on national radio stations? What was the most enjoyable interview or promo event you've participated in?

L.T. Graham Yes, I have done in-person talks, television and radio. Actually, I do not find it stressful, I find it fun. What makes me uncomfortable are book signings. I hate sitting in a bookstore, staring imploringly at each person who walks in, hoping she'll buy my novel. Very humbling. The most fun I've had is on television. If I can relate to the hosts and the crew, it's an enjoyable moment. Not sure it sells any books, though. I believe that you, the readers, sell books. If you like THE BLUE JOURNAL and tell friends about it, they will be likely to buy it. Appearing on tv or radio does not have anywhere near the same impact as a personal recommendation. You're the ones who hold the power.
