"Hi everyone, I'm thrilled to be spending time with gifted author Mark Koopmans today. Welcome, Mark. We'll get right to the questions. I"m really excited to be hosting your blog hop and telling people more about you and your book!
How did you get the idea for
your book?
Thanks,
Deanie, for having me over to wrap up the book tour. What a month!
The
idea to write REVIVAL came after I spoke to Donald Braswell, who, at the time
(2008) had recently finished fourth overall in America’s Got Talent. I interviewed Donald for the newspaper I
worked for, but as the “official chat” ended, we continued talking for
forty-five minutes and I was inspired by learning more about Donald’s back
story. I knew then this could be a project far greater than a simple feature.
You had a great idea, Mark. I'm so happy you decided to write this book! I think it will bring you much success.
I know you’re doing a book
tour. Describe some of the highlights of your tour.
The
main highlights have been the wonderful blogger friends who have made such an
effort to stop by most, if not all days that I posted. Their support definitely
bolstered me! Other highlights, for me, came from sharing all the self-taught
tips I’ve learnt in writing a memoir.
I'm glad so many great people offered to help you spread the word about your book!
What was the most exciting part
of your book tour?
Probably
seeing the book available at the publisher’s website and then on Amazon and
Barnes & Noble.
It is really exciting when you see the proof your book is actually published, isn't it?
What are your plans for the
future?
I’m
finishing my first novel, a WWII thriller. Then I plan to tackle a modern-day
thriller set in Florida .
I’m not sure I would ever tackle a memoir again, but they do say, “Never say
never.”
Where can we purchase your
book?
Pen-L Publishing (my
publisher)
