A promotional opportunity is through podcasts on BlogTalkRadio. Many shows want authors as "expert guests". I've appeared on several shows. (My website has links to the podcasts at the bottom of the index page.) I just did one a couple days ago, which offered less promotional value than most, because the host does not feature her guests on the show's website. But she did ask about my last book, and the discussion was about an ethical dilemma I faced as a memoir writer; whether to risk loss of a friendship by describing the friend's bad behavior in the book.
