I was frustrated about an interview I just had for my recently released children's book, "Where Am I Sleeping Tonight?-A Story of Divorce", because she asked so many questions about divorce and other things leading away from the book. Now I understand and see the value of talking about yourself....they can read the book! Thanks for the tip, Carol Thanks for the reminder.

While I notice it the first time they mention their own book, the second (and subsequent) time it turns annoying. The person is there for their personality, and though their work got them the comfy seat on stage, the audience does not care much about the bundle of pages they already plan to check out. They want to relate on a personal level - to sense the humanity in the author. That is a huge selling point. Thanks for the reminder!
