It was a pleasure Julia! Thanks for your great answers. As you walk the hills musing on your lovely stories and characters I hope you’ve been managing to stay dry. The UK storms sound bad.

Thank you Sean & Dody:)

I’m still feeling very honoured to be on “A Bigger Brighter World”. Marjorie’s questions were so thoughtful, I really had to step up my game!

As a griffin rider wannabe and a Celtic Cousins’ adventures tag-a-long, my ears perk up when I catch site of a new Julia Hughes interview. Your bits of historical tidbits add to my knowledge and your comments on ‘all things about writing’ inspire me to broaden my mind. Personally, I so enjoy the arcane vocabulary in your tales for they add to my own. A new DI Crombie in the works has me salivating like one of Pavlov’s dogs! Wonderful presentation and interview Marjorie!

Great interview – and thanks to Julia for the mention. Free is the single most useful tactic an independent author has. Big publishers cannot afford to give work away for free – we can. I’ve given away over a hundred thousand books. It hasn’t cost me a penny, and it has gained me lifelong fans who have bought every word I’ve ever published (including a few cross-overs into my incredibly dry non-fiction work).

20,000 was a record breaker when Julia did it – and for good reason. She writes well, and used a great network of advertising sites to springboard to that level.
