Revisiting an interview with the New York Times bestselling author Susannah Cahalan for her book Brain on Fire

Dear Friends,

For Friday, I’d like guide you to an interview I did with the New York Times bestselling author Susannah Cahalan a little while back for her book, Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness. That book has come a long way since that interview, selling many copies, so it’s interesting hearing from Susannah during that time.

Here is a link to that interview:

Another option to either read or list free books, this time on Amazon…

Yesterday we talked about the Goodreads.com giveaway program, where authors could list free books for readers to win in a contest, and today it’s worth mentioning that Amazon also has a place for authors to list free books. It’s not a contest.  Amazon, via its KDP Select program, allows authors to list their book(s) for free for up to five days. This is a good option for authors to get more exposure (and build a fan-base of readers), and for readers to get great books without emptying their wallet.

You can learn more about the program at this link:

Check it out!

Interested in free books from different authors & genres? Visit this web address…

I think everyone loves a chance to win a free book, especially if it’s in a genre you love to read!

For many years, Goodreads.com has offered a platform for authors to list their books in contests for readers to enter and win.

It’s called the Goodreads giveaway program, and I’ve personally enjoyed it (as an author entering my book and as a reader trying to get a free copy).

Here is that link: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway
