Goodreads: Ask the Author

One of the great things about writing in today's technological age is the ability to directly communicate with readers. This type of access just wasn't possible in the past. But finding how to communicate with your favorite author isn't always easy, but Goodreads is here to help. Today Goodreads is launching a great new program to bring authors and readers together, and I'm proud to be a part of it.  It's called "Ask the Author," and it gives you the opportunity to interact with your favorite authors (and me) to get answers to all those burning questions you may have. Here is the list of authors who will be part of this early release program:

Isabel Allende Kevin J. Anderson Bella Andre Laurie Halse Anderson Bella Andre Margaret Atwood David Baldacci  Mark Bittman Holly Black Dan Brown Jim Butcher Deepak Chopra Kresley Cole  Michael Cunningham  Sylvia Day Sara Dessen Rebecca Donovan Geoff Dyer Susan Ee Warren Ellis

Timothy Ferriss Joseph Finder Gayle Forman Barbara Freethy Kami Garcia Elizabeth Gilbert Daniel Goleman Lev Grossman Laurell K. Hamilton Kristin Hannah Brian Herbert Khaled Hosseini Hugh Howey Arianna Huffington Sherrilyn Kenyon A.S. King Jeff Kinney Anne Lamott Christina Lauren E. Lockhart

Bob Mayer Frances Mayes James McBride Richelle Mead Liane Moriarty Jojo Moyes BJ Novak James Patterson Michael Pollan Douglas Preston Gretchen Rubin John Scalzi Robin Sloan Margaret Stohl Michael J. Sullivan Jeff VanderMeer Ayelet Waldman Jesmyn Ward S.J. Watson

As you can see there are some pretty amazing names in that group, and a wide variety of fiction, non-fiction, literary, and genre fiction authors. For my own part, I'll be answering questions across a wide spectrum of topics Just click here to ask your own question, or see answers to questions that others have asked. This could include: my released books, my future works, writing advice, or anything about the publishing industry including questions related to small-press, self-publishing, and working with the big-five. I must say, I'm a little terrified that when I go to my "question queue" I'll find nothing but crickets, so please, if you do have anything to ask, stop on by. I look forward to hearing from you.
