				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s reviews like this one that remind me why I love to write, why I love to tell stories, why I must continue on the author path and why I must share them with as many different people as possible. <a href="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mjm.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-876" alt="mjm" src="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mjm-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Thank you M. Joseph Murphy for your kind and supportive words. From one author to another, it means so much to hear your feedback.</p>
<p><a title="eloves me, eloves me not review - a book every man should read" href="http://councilofpeacocks.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/a-book-every-man-should-read-eloves-me.html">You can see the full post it all right here on his blog</a>.</p>
<p>Not only does Joseph share a great review, a bit about the author, he did a quick author interview with me during The Word on the Street Festival and has included it too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JslGqfRJRig?rel=0" height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Enough about me! If you&#8217;re a reader of the urban fantasy genre, check out Joseph&#8217;s debut novel, <a href="http://councilofpeacocks.blogspot.com.au/p/works-by-m-joseph-murphy.html">Council of Peacocks, Book One in the Activation Series</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/council-of-peacocks.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-872" alt="council of peacocks" src="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/council-of-peacocks-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a tale of good over evil, the evolution of the human race and saving the world. Its comes complete with a colourful cast of sorcerers, demons, humans and reptilians that move the story at a engaging pace, with many a battle for power and ultimate supremacy.</p>

<p>We had a great day connecting with other authors and services dedicated to the literary world.</p>

<p>I met fans and readers, shared insights about the book, took photos with friends old and new.</p>

<p>And I even sold some books to curious readers and gave away some Aussie schwag.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone who came out, those who bought books, those who took photos, interviewed me, brought me flowers, promoted the event through social media and to those who brough us Timmies and especially to my friend Wendy who, as she&#8217;s been since the day we met, was there beside me from start to finish.</p>
<p>Thank you! You are all priceless treasures! And, when it comes to friends and fans I am truly blessed. xxx</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on a fabulous new podcast called <em><strong>Mr n Mrs Romance. </strong></em>Mr Romance, known as Jack, interviewed me about <strong><em>eloves me, eloves me not</em></strong>, being an author, my experiences with online dating and finding love.</p>
<p><a href="http://66.147.244.233/~mrnmrsro/2013/04/20/16-eloves-me-eloves-me-not/">Podcast #16 &#8211; eloves me, eloves me not with LA Johannesson</a></p>
<p>Jack was a terrific host. He asked some refreshing questions and we had a few laughs while I got to share a great deal about the inspiration for the book, the story, its characters and my own views on dating and love. Any conversation that can move from Star Trek to Shakespeare covers a lot of ground as is worth a listen. You can go straight to the <a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/mrnmrsromance/16_eloves_me_eloves_me_not.mp3">audio here</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/MrnMrsRomance-mrnmrsromance-on-Twitter.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-713" alt="MrnMrsRomance (mrnmrsromance) on Twitter" src="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/MrnMrsRomance-mrnmrsromance-on-Twitter-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Mr n Mrs Romance is a UK-based podcast with the aim of exploring the extraordinary breadth of the human condition in relation to romance, love and sex. With input from an amazing collection of individuals, they aim to compile a fascinating picture of relationship culture in the 21st century. Mr n Mrs Romance believe that in today’s society that there is no one way by which relationships are played out and as such, each podcast will aim to capture the many varied outlooks and practices of today’s relationship lifestyles.</p>
<p>As you&#8217;ll see from the diverse topics covered in the first 16 episodes, it is definitely delivering on its promise.</p>
<p>I had a blast as a guest. I&#8217;ve also learned a little from some of the other episodes (I&#8217;m just not saying which ones <img src='http://lajohannesson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . I encourage you to have a listen and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/mr-n-mrs-romance/id581929916?mt=2">subscribe to it on iTunes.  </a></p>
<p>Mr n Mrs Romance are bound to keep it interesting!</p>
<p>You can also connect with them on twitter as @mrnmrsromance and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mrnmrsromance?ref=hl">on facebook</a>.</p>
<h2></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>PS &#8211; Thanks again Jack, you give good podcast!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.readinasinglesitting.com/">Read in A Single Sitting  (RIASS</a>) gives good interview.</p>
<p><a href="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/riass.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-619" alt="riass" src="http://lajohannesson.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/riass-150x150.jpeg" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>I recently chatted with <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/104091463570116704826/posts">Stephanie Campisi</a> about <em><strong>eloves me, eloves me not</strong></em>. I was very impressed by how prepared and thoughtful her questions were. We covered a lot of ground including the book&#8217;s inspiration, my writing choices especially around featuring technology so prominently, the world of online dating and current perceptions of it, the challenges and opportunities associated with independent publishing and what&#8217;s required by an author as they move into the marketing phase.</p>
<p>You can find the full interview here: <a href="http://www.readinasinglesitting.com/interview-la-johannesson-on-writing-technological-romance/">Interview: LA Johannesson on writing &#8220;technological romance&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Favourite interview quote: &#8220;<em>self-published authors need to look for every opportunity to tell, and sell, their stories.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Thank you Stephanie for the opportunity to share my thoughts with you and your community!</p>
