What type of book promotion seems to work the best for you?
Networking on the Internet has been my most productive promotion, especially the Muse Online Writers Conference where I was a presenter. I’ve had small successes at local bookstore signings, but that readership is limited, where the Internet reaches almost the whole world.
What is your favorite book of all time? Why?
My favorite book is Gone With the Wind. I love Scarlet, who is not perfect, and sometimes I want to shake her and say “Wake up, girl, Look at him,” meaning Rhett Butler of course. Why would she like wimpy Ashley with a hunk like Rhett after her? Also, the Civil War era is one of my favorite time periods.
Do you have a website/blog where readers may learn more about you and your work?

Please befriend me, if you’d like.
Do you have another novel on the works? Would you like to tell readers about your current or future projects?
Yes, I have two young adult novels scheduled for release in 2008. Rebel in Blue Jeans is a contemporary story about a girl whose mother runs away with the drummer in a rock band and what she does to try to bring her parents together again.
Caves, Cannons, and Crinolines, is a historical fiction story about one family’s struggle to survive a changing way of life during the Civil War.
I’m also working on a young adult contemporary novel and a middle grade ghost story.
Thanks for stopping by! It was a pleasure to have you here!
My pleasure, Mayra. I enjoyed chatting with you.
