Another park cast edition of Sonitotum with Matthew Wayne Selznick, because it’s too darn hot to be indoors standing in front of monitors and giant computers!
Join me under a big tree as a young hawk yells at me from the boughs above and an eager squirrel in the grass (you’d think the two of them would have a problem!) pesters me for treats I did not have.
Oh, and I talk both about why I think we all need to have our own websites, how no legitimate authority in indie publishing should ever use absolutes in their advice… and show, oddly, how the two topics both speak to the same larger point: the importance of building a community around your work.
Is your author website more personal, or professional? Have you ever heard a successful author declare that you must not or must do this or that? How’d it all work out? Let me know… in the comments!
