1. What do you love most about blogging?
I love the freedom and creativity of blogging. I can share my insights, promote my clients and programs in a fun, conversational way.
2. Do you have a most memorable post?
I blogged about an Italian chef and her newest book. Through the process, I learned some great recipes. I asked her about the message she wanted to convey, and she said:
"First of all, that you can make any meal into a special occasion with a special meal and don't have to wait for a Holiday to cook these recipes/menus. *Holidays should not be about the material gifts we receive but about the other gifts that we take for granted- having food on the table and friends and family and others to share the food with. These are the real gifts to be thankful for!"
3. What is the funniest thing you have ever blogged about?
I had written an artilce for ClassesUSA.com about "The Power of the Pen"- not only did the Miami Herald pick it up becasue it included an interview with Stefan Pinto, a Playgirl centerfold and budding actor from Miami, but I blogged about the exposure. I had no idea my source was a Playgirl centerfold!
4. What do you hope your readers will take away from your blog?
I'd like my readers to stay up to date on new books and updates.
5. Where do you hope to take your blog in the future?
I'd like my blog to be a home for authors on virtual blog tours, more and more in the future.
6. Do you ever have contests and/or giveaways on your blog?
I'm thinking about doing a giveaway offering a copy of my own book Woman Priest: A Collection of Spiritual Reflections and Commentary on Today's Issues
7. In your opinion, how would readers, old and new, benefit from your blog?
Readers will go up on the learning curve about exciting authors promoting new books on a range of topics.
