Goodreads Authors/Readers discussion

As a self-published author, I understand how difficult it is to promote your book. Every week on Sunday, I'll post a new interview for an Indie author to my blog. This will help promote your book, and I'll benefit by attracting more visitors to my website. It's a win-win situation!

The blog is called This n That Interviews. Dove Winters was kind enough to be my guinea pig -- oops did I say that? -- err test pilot. You may read Dove's interview.

If you're interested send me a message here on Goodreads with TnT Interview as the subject. I'll reply with instructions for doing the interview.

I'll let you know when your interview goes live and ask you to share with social media.

Trana Mathews

Hi Trana! You did a beautiful interview of Dove and I like that you have a sense of humor! I would be honored if I could be interviewed as you're right, you can help us help you. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have also just published an anthology of six word stories (after Hemingway), called Hemingway's Puzzle: Short But Perfectly Formed. That's on Amazon but for some reason hasn't appeared on Gooodreads yet: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hemingways-P...

Hi Trana,
I'm a first time author as well with my first book published March 23, 2020. IndieReader awarded my book a 5 star rating. 'Does She Think of Me, A Birth Mother's Journey to Forgiveness' is my personal experience as a birth mother. I didn't set out to publish a book but, as you'll read in my book, a series of circumstances let me to here, a published author. This book is a gift to my daughter in celebration of the 20th anniversary of our reunion. There are difficulties in life that are tough to talk about and this book gives her a detail timeline of events that let to and explains why I made the decision to surrender her to adoption.
