Interview with Renee Hand, Author of The Crypto-Capers in The Case of the Missing Sock - Page 4

Do you have an agent?  What were your experiences finding her/him?

No, I do not have an agent, and in truth, you really don’t need one. There is definitely a benefit to having a good agent that cares about you and your work, but really, you can do it all yourself. When dealing with a publisher, you are really selling yourself. The publisher must not only believe in your work, but in you and your abilities to promote and sell it. You can convince a publisher of that the same as an agent can. Remember that no one can sell your book better than you. You wrote it!

How long did it take your book to be published from the time you submitted and was accepted to the time it was finally released?

It took around six months.

Do you have a website?  Do you manage it yourself or do you have someone run it for you?

I do have a website and I do manage it myself, constantly updating it when new things come up.

What’s next for you?

I have more books in the series coming out. The Crypto-Capers is a series. Book 1 is The Case of the Missing Sock. Book 2 is out and is titled, The Case of Red Rock Canyon. Book 3 will be out in the fall with two coming out every year. I should also have a new romance novel out this year. Readers can check out my website for all upcoming books at www.reneeahand.com.

Thank you for this interview, Renee.  Do you have any final words you’d like to share with my readers?

My books are available at various bookstores, as well as online at Amazon, www.amazon.com and Barnes and Nobles, www.bn.com. Please check out my website at www.reneeahand.com and e-mail me or visit my blog. Thank you again for having me.
