June may not wish to blow her own trumpet so I will do it on her behalf. June’s radio interview, which is on the website, is a shining example of how writers should do radio. Turn up in person, be lovely, talk about your own life and how it put you in the position to be a writer. If you are an expert, say an ex-teacher, ex-singer, bring some opinions from that expertise. Talk about the inspiration for the book and then when everyone is interested tell them about your local book signing. Warm them up then seal the deal!
