Smashwords Interview

What do you read for pleasure?
Fantasy, graphic novels, history, biographies, horror, science fiction, mysteries - you name it. For relaxation, I really like fantasies, graphic novels and mysteries, but it really depends on my mood and what else is going on. I love discovering new writers as well as rereading old favorites.
What book marketing techniques have been most effective for you?
I have found that has varied from book to book. For print books, in person events like book release parties and author readings have been most effective. For ebooks, it's been a mix. Interviews, guest blog posts, podcasts - anything that builds word of mouth is generally helpful.
