This Hop will see numbers 88 and 89 of my interviews with childrens/MG/YA authors. That means sometime in 2015 I will be posting my 100th interview! Can say I ever saw that coming when I started interviewing authors back in October 2012. Those first months I posted one interview per month. I did post one lone interview in 2009 with an author who put me off interviewing for quite a while. However, I have met some fantastic people and new friends.

I joined the Kid Lit Blog Hop in May 2013 and started posting author interviews twice and sometimes three times a month. Then came November 2013. I had so many requests that I started posting four interviews a month, two with each Hop! And now in 2015, I could easily post 6+ author interviews a month, but then I'd have to be locked up!!

What started out as a way to write a blog to get exposure for me and my books has blossomed into a forum where I am able to help new authors get exposure for their books. And, along the way I have been fortunate to interview some established names in the industry, like Ben Woodard, Claudia Cangilla McAdam (this month), Christopher Mannino, Joe Gazzam, and C. M. Gray. I've even started a
Pinterest Board for the Authors I Have Interviewed. Like most things in my life, I'm a little behind on posting, but I hope you'll visit.
