Interview with Camille Marchetta, Author of The River, by Moonlight - Page 3

What type of book promotion seems to work the best for you?

Ask me that a couple of months from now, and I'll be able to give you a more informed reply. I'm not sure what works best, yet. But, so far, I think this online touring is the most interesting and potentially most productive kind of promotion I've ever experienced.

What is your favorite book of all time? Why?

I don't have one favorite. I have lots of them. And each time I'm asked that question a different book pops into my head. At the moment, it's Wuthering Heights demanding a mention. Every time I read it, it just blows my mind. The power of the prose, the mastery of the story-telling, the violence of the emotions. How could Emily Bronte, a nineteenth-century vicar's daughter living in a remote Yorkshire village, know all that?

Do you have a website/blog where readers may learn more about you and your work?

Yes, I do. I have a website. As well as links to related sites, it's got information about me, and about all my books, including excerpts.

Do you have another novel in the works? Would you like to tell readers about your current or future projects?

I've been so busy first writing and then publishing and now promoting The River, by Moonlight that I haven't really settled on my next project. And I confess that's making me nervous. I need to get back to work!

Thanks for stopping by! It was a pleasure to have you here!

I've enjoyed it. Thank you.

    What an excellent interview! I'm glad you're enjoying the tour so far, Camille. We love promoting great books.

    Even though you've been busy with writing, publishing, and promoting this one, I hope you're thinking of the next one because I will certainly want to read it.

    Best of luck with the rest of your tour.

    Cheryl
