Radio Readings of Excerpts Even Better Than Reviews

This is not one of my regular review posts. It is really about an opportunity for fiction writers to read from their works and for readers to hear fiction writers in their own voices. So, a little departure. I hope you won't mind.

Lillian Cauldwell and Carolyn Howard-Johnson invite authors for a frugal and fabulous reading and cross-promotion adventure starting March, 2010. Readers may drop by to hear our lineup then, and yes, there will be lots on this blog about how you can listen to this Passionate Internet Voices Talk Radio program.

Passionate Internet Voices Talk Radio will feature authors of published books of fiction to join in the first-ever serial weekly literary festival where authors read brief excerpts from their books over PIVTR’s radio network.
(Nonfiction and Poetry Weeks will come later in 2010.)
