Season 2, Episode 2: Indie Author Central with Special Guest, J.Carnes

Josie Carnes is a romantic fantasy author and part of the duo who write the Forging Kingdoms series. Her next novel debuts on August 2, BUT, that's not the coolest things he does. She is also the founder of Indie Author Central, an amazing platform aimed at bringing Indies together, and delivering them straight into the hands of avid readers.

A Note: We lost Josie right at the end of the episode. That said, the rest of the episode was AMAZING! We had so many tech issues leading up to the interview, but she was such a champ through it all.

I'm excited to give all my listeners a sneak peek at some of the things I've learned after a year of book signings and conventions. I wouldn't say I'm a pro at this point, but I do think I've learned a thing or two.

Join me for a fun episode of how I managed to make book signings worthwhile.
