Podcast at Bluestocking Guide

Table of contents for Domestic Violence Awareness
On my blog book tour for Dream or Destiny, The Bluestocking Guide interviewed me on a podcast.
The interview is posted again on The Bluestocking Guide for Domestic Violence Month. Bluestocking was a domestic violence victims’ advocate, and we had a fascinating discussion about the subject.
Bluestocking said that David’s psychological reactions in Dream or Destiny were very accurate from her experience of dealing with victims. I don’t have any personal experience with domestic violence, so I’m glad my research—especially reading first-person accounts of victims—resulted in an accurate portrayal.
If you’re interested in understanding and preventing domestic violence, listen to the Inklings podcast.
Remember, I’m donating $5 to the National Domestic Violence Hotline for every copy of Dream or Destiny sold during Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I’ll also give each person who buys Dream or Destiny an e-book of the contemporary romance Fern’s Fancies. Learn more in my previous post on supporting Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
That is so fantastic that you are giving money dedicated to domestic violence with the sales of your book. I will definitely have to keep an eye out for that podcast because it sounds interesting
Mark,
Just follow the link in the article above. The podcast is already posted.
Lillie, that’s wonderful. Congrats on the podcast, but I think the larger accomplishment was capturing the voice of the victim so well. That’s music to a writer’s ears!
Lori,
Thanks. It was a real thrill when Bluestocking said that when she was reading she was convinced that only someone who had been battered or who was very close to someone who had been battered could have written that character.
Lillie, can you please post the direct link to the entire interview’s mp3. I dont have access to streamed content and apple time is not supported too.
Cant wait to listen the podcast. I am also interested in helping and following your footsteps for such a noble cause. You are truly inspirational.
Regards,
Mack McMillan

Mack,
I’m sorry, but the link above is all I have. Bluestocking is a big Mac fan and does everything on Mac. I had to download Quicktime to listen to the interview myself. I don’t like Quicktime, but that was the only way I could hear it.
Thank you for the information about Bluestocking guide,,,, you write very great.Where I can get more information about this any further?

ANSH,
I’m glad you liked it. Bluestocking has a traffic counter on the page, and I’m disappointed at the small number of people who have listened.
Domestic violence should not happen to anybody, but unfortunately, it does. Good thing, there are groups supporting the victims. I admire your support to this and hopefully the statistics would eventually lessen.

Jeff,
Domestic violence is indeed a tragedy, and I pray the situation improves.
Do you have data on its occurrence? It just passed into my mind. Got me thinking why people actually do such act.
