Authors on tour live has an archive of previous podcasts listed alphabetically by author. Searching the list I came across Lynne Truss, who wrote the very popular 'Eats, shoots and leaves' about punctuation. In this podcast she talks about her new book, 'Talk to the hand', which I have read. It's great to hear the voice that goes with the name and face. It gives a fuller understanding of the book and empathy with the author. However, she sounded slightly nervous and a bit forced. It must be hard for authors who are quite comfortable writing unseen but not so at ease in front of a live audience, but to increase sales they have to be visible.
I think this would be a useful tool to recommend to patrons who want to know about their favourite authors.
