On episode 57 of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast I spoke once again with Robert Dugoni, whose last book, MY SISTER’S GRAVE, hit the New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists and reached #1 on Amazon. We discussed:
- why MY SISTER’S GRAVE was removed from the New York Times bestseller list;
- why many writers fear success more than failure;
- what kind of reviews actually sell books;
- our issues with the recent New York Times articles about Amazon;
- lessons about backstory from J.K. Rowling;
- being a 49ers fan in Seattle;
- his new novel, HER FINAL BREATH, which comes out September 15 and can be ordered here.
Plus, on “Today in Writing,” happy birthday to Leo Tolstoy.
