Do you like books? Want to know what to read next? Or are you an indie author or publisher looking to produce an audio book (or books)? So asks yourbookmybook.com, ...a podcast out of suburban Columbus, Ohio that features independent and published authors and connects readers to authors through its podcasts, webcasts and book events in the Columbus area, ...and which has recently expanded to the production of an audio-book-author-interview package; that is to say, an audio book that includes a bonus yourbookmybook.com podcast interview with the author. I first heard of yourbookmybook.com when I was chosen to be one of the authors interviewed at the Mid-Ohio Indie Authors Book Expo, Here's the link for the video of my interview: https://www.facebook.com/yourbookmybook/videos/1927625530828337/ ...where I spent an afternoon back in August hawking my book (and giving away doughnuts in honor of chapter seven and chocolate cupcakes in honor of chapter eighteen). (See post from 8/14/2014) It was there at the Indie Expo that I met Miguel Lopez, yourbookmybook.com creator and media production coordinator. After my interview Miguel and I got to talking and I learned that his podcast has thousands of followers around the world and that on yourbookmybook.com one can listen to interviews with authors from around the country and as far away as India. I began listening to the yourbookmybook author podcasts, ...and became a Facebook follower of yourbookmybook.com, which was how I heard of the yourbookmybook author event at Dirty Frank’s restaurant. I contacted Miguel and asked him how an author manages to land a spot at this kind of book event and he told me that though the program was filled, I was welcome to come and MC the event in exchange for which I could have a spot at the book sellers' table. And so I did, ...with my daughter and son taking turns manning the table for me. (see post from 9/30/2017) After the Dirty Frank's event Miguel invited me to do a live feature webcast (for the uninitiated, as I was until recently, a webcast is a podcast with video), which we did - live - last weekend in the yourbookmybook studio in Reynoldsburg, a suburb of Columbus.
After we finished the webcast I asked Miguel a little about himself and he shared that he was born in Honduras, came to the United States when he was twelve, served in the U.S. Army, studied audio visual technology in New York City where he worked for a number of years then, seeking life at a saner pace, moved to Columbus, Ohio, where he created yourbookmybook.com. "You must really love books," I commented. "I do," he said, "but what I really love is the podcast production."
