There is a whole industry around the promotion of books by their authors; book launches, book tours, radio and television interviews, book festivals and book programmes. It is fascinating and enlightening to hear an author talk about the background to their book(s) and their writing lives. Audio books read by the authors themselves have a genuineness about them and interviews with authors can provide some depth to the reading experience. I love hearing authors speak - they usually choose their words carefully.
Sessions at our own
Auckland Writers and Readers Festival in 2009 were recorded and replayed on NZ Radio and Christchurch City Libraries created audio blogs that were picked up from their website by people all over the country.
Yes, there is a place for information directly from the author and I think our customers would be really interested in listening too.
