Juliet, My first book, a memoir, will be published May 30th. Have you had success at getting Goodreads to review your books?

Juliet Spade Hi Tracey! Thanks for the question, and congratulations on your memoir!

I haven't done a lot of work to garner reviews on Goodreads, so I'm probably not the best person to answer your question, unfortunately. It's difficult to walk the line between genuine interaction and self-promotion, and I tend to try to avoid too much of the latter on GR. Readers seem more sensitive to it here than they do on, say, Twitter.

I have heard of a product Goodreads Guru (http://www.goodreadsguru.com -- I am not in any way affiliated with this product, I've just been recommended it by other authors before), that may have some information on getting more deeply involved. The page is a bit salesly-looking, but I've been told there is actually a lot of good information there.

Remember that you've already done the hardest part, which is write the book. Best of luck!

How do you get inspired to write?

Juliet Spade I'm not sure "inspired" is the right word. I write when I have a fully fleshed out idea ready. I know it when I feel it. If I write when the idea is still cooking, it often comes out half-baked, and I end up having to rewrite a great deal.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Juliet Spade My most recent book was "Vampire's Betrayal," which took place in Vegas. I got a lot of the material from books about Vegas and also from visiting the city.
