With a European business, marketing & languages education, prior to entering the online media industry over a decade ago when "podcasting" was not yet a word, as a multi-lingual Cross Cultural Expert and International Business Consultant, Ms. Hampson traveled the world helping business executives in small and Fortune 100 companies develop & implement global marketing & distribution strategies.  As the founder of a business networking organization with multiple chapters across several states, she has also helped thousands of entrepreneurs & managers develop and improve their networking skills. Often referred to as the "Queen of Win-Win", it is that philosophy that has helped her gain the respect of clients across continents and created a demand for her to represent authors globally.

With over 13 years of podcasting experience, Danielle also often speaks to publishing industry organizations and groups of authors on the topic of utilizing audio & video as a book marketing tool. In November 2017, she launched "Give a Book Get a Smile", a literacy initiative that leverages her pool of thousands of authors and other publishing industry relationships. In 2018, the first full year of operating Give a Book Get a Smile, 1400 books were donated to various organizations in need of books.

Ms. Hampson also puts her skills to good use volunteering time and resources with several nonprofit organizations in the arts and in leadership. She has traveled multiple times to China to help accelerate women leadership in rural areas, and to teach students networking and interviewing/production skills.

A marketing and publicity consultant with 30 years of experience, Don McCauley specializes in helping authors develop low cost marketing and publicity plans.  During his corporate years he developed and implemented marketing campaigns involving newspaper, radio, TV, magazines, trade shows and direct mail. He also previously served as owner and editor of two successful regional magazines.  His experience in media gives him an intimate understanding and a unique perspective on the challenges facing authors in marketing their work.  He is the facilitator of the Free Publicity Focus Group. Mr. McCauley has been associated with The Authors Show since 2006.

Linda's relationship with The Authors Show began in 2006 when she became a guest on the show multiple times prior to becoming a host. Among the many hats she wears, one is being the author of four books. An avid reader too, Linda takes pleasure in meeting new and returning author guests to learn the story behind the book. She often learns that the back story is the key to marketing a new book, be it fiction or non. She says if she ever has the time, she's going to write another book, this one about the joys of being a back yard farmer.

Nancy joined The Authors Show with an IT Management background, and like Linda, she is an avid reader who devours several books each week.  Ms. Villella is the go to person for guests on the show and her dedication & efficiency keep Danielle from going insane.  They have been working together since 2006.
