Author Interviews and Blog Hyperlinks

A blog interview for an author can have many links included in the blog. The author can put the interview on their own personal blog or website for their audiences. Most writing programs on your computer, iPad, emails, texts, online newsletters, or blogs allow linking; look at the menus under editing or find the linking symbol. Both the interviewer and interviewee should add links to connect twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook page, Amazon’s Author page, Smashword author interview, and online sale sites Kobo, iBook, Sony, Barn&Nobles, etc. There are over twelve links for connecting to many audiences who share networking. Work the links into the text the book, Rhyonna’s Fright where Smashwords, Amazon), more information author’s site (Bobbie Kinkead) and their blog (BlobBlobandBlogging) to make easy for the reader to click. The interviewer offers links for sharing the interview at the end of the post. Always, keep links updated and keep a list on your computer, iPad, or smartphone for easy access. Blogging once a month is the minimum, do more if you have time. Also, you can link to back to posts already written and posted. 

The more links posted in the blog and on sites the more prestige on google searches because of the clicks readers use. Invite your readers to click on your links, not on google ads, unless the ad is yours, remember google gets the money. You get prestige by reader clicks. 


So what if you have an audience of 5 or 20 people on a blog, no worry, web surfers come, observe, read, share, and slide on through. Your audience clicks matter for your performance on databases, even if having many sites with modest audience interviews will still reach many people. On each blog, check the analytics for your post to find out how many viewers looked at the post. Your newsletters (I use MailChimp.) show the clicks you receive and on what links the reader clicked.

Author blogs, performances, and books with links I post in my newsletter, EVENTING…; the more places a book or blog is posted the better for expanding different audiences and stretching hyperlink connections. 

About eight years ago I heard a lecture about linking from the networking genius who programmed the first hyperlinking. When we surf the vast net we see what this innovation offers for us.

My Writer Self in a Dream

Read other Blogs
How I describe MY writer-self, how work looks and feels like if I were living the dream? 

Well, first I sit on a roll-a-coster, then jump off onto a flower which bobs up and down. I slid off and land on another flower with spider webs tangled around the petals. I manage to slip through the petals and sticky web and jump to a leaf, another leaf joined others in jumping here and there; finally, I fall into a large pond of water. I float, relaxing. The sun shines, people laugh. Then boom the water begins turning around and falling into a funnel, which becomes a long tunnel which twists and turns around and down. I plop out on soft mulch staring at bright lights. Then I hear shouts of joy and hands lift me up, bells rings, and whistles blowing, shout of 'hurray' echo. Balloons are handed to me.  I hear, "Great novel!" 

I stand thinking writing that story was worth my efforts now time to begin the next.

The strangest thing I've ever googled for a story?

Read the Blogs
Actually, 'google' is too complicated for me, and ads appeared, and sites appear who have acquired status for the top of google's list involving how many links and hits they get.

To find what I am searching for and not to waste my precious time getting lost on google, I use Wikipedia, better information, concise, and no ads. Well, the ads are run as information documents.

My Critic!
My grips with google, the advertising has gotten thicker and more often with all the pop-up ads. Google ads plugging up searches with ads and more ads.


I do google for book references and to get on Amazon.

The places I really write my stories.


 Read what others wrote.

A bit late for October!
I write from my thoughts that float around in the space in my head, which is the stage around me. I see the characters, I hear the voices, signaling time to write.

I go to my writing room, stacked full of this and that I have accomplished, or work that I want to finish. This place is cluttered, which is a bit tiring. I focus on the screen of the computer. My search begins for the story document, and the writing starts. Then who shows up is my critic. She is haunting going on and on about this and that, spelling and grammar, what is wrong with this character, and that scene. She becomes a song in the back of my mind as the story unravels. Then the phone rings about a text, I continue to write. My husband comes in my writing space to say what he is doing. My cat comes into humor and calms me. All the while, the story continues to float through my thoughts, and I'm in the middle, watching, and hearing to catch every word.
