Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you celebrated with the people you care about most on New Year's Eve, and recuperated enough on New Year's Day to feel bright-eyed and bushy-tailed again this morning.

I love learning about new authors, so earlier this year I put out a call to a couple of writing groups on Facebook asking for authors to interview.
