Audio interview: How to publish direct to Kindle and hit No.2 on the New York Times Bestseller Lists

CJ is a Pediatric ER Doctor turned bestselling author of ‘thrillers with heart’.

She’s also a Creative Entrepreneur Roadmap student who has done great things with the ideas she learned on the program.

In this audio interview I talk to her about how she published her novel Blind Faith direct to Kindle and promoted it to her audience of passionate fans via her website and mailing list.

They responded with such enthusiasm that her novel reached No.2 on the New York Times Bestseller List, selling well over 200,000 copies.

I’m always thrilled to hear students’ success stories, so I was delighted when she told me what she’d been up to with the ideas from the program.

I was even more pleased when she kindly agreed to share her story. By the end of the conversation I was buzzing, and I know you’ll feel the same way after spending some time with CJ.

In this interview CJ explains:

• How she found time to write novels while working a punishing schedule as an ER Doctor
• A very unusual way to promote a book (the paper variety)
• The wrong way – and the right way – to build a mailing list of thousands of readers
• Why it pays to be generous to your fans
• The path she followed to reach No.2. on the New York Times Bestseller List – with a novel she published direct to Kindle
