I started out with author promotions by contacting writer friends of mine and asking them if I could interview them. Thankfully, I was a member of a writing forum, so I could keep up with interviews once a week.

Eventually, authors began noticing the promotion opportunity, and I began interviewing published authors. One author in particular – Sandi Kahn Shelton – liked my site so much that she requested my site as a stop on her virtual book tour.

Dorothy Thompson, the CEO of Pump Up Your Book Promotions, introduced herself and things went from there. From author interviewer and book reviewer to (that plus) a virtual tour coordinator, author promotions has been my focus for years now.

After the loss of the blog I began with, I decided to create two new sites for bigger and better author promotions. One is DownUnderViews.com – combining my love of coffee, cafés and books – and the other is this site. (Book reviews posted on this site are also posted at Down Under Views.)

If you would like to be interviewed or guest post on InkyBlots, go to the contact page and leave a message.
