Here’s a link to The Morning Blend interview I did with Molly and Tiffany.  First TV stop of the Coop paperback tour.  The baby food reference at the end was related to the preceding piece in which there was discussion of Jennifer Aniston’s legs and “baby food diet”.  Good luck with that.

Also of interest to me, if no one else.  On shows like this, you have a brief amount of time to tell as much of the story as you can.  Plus, it’s early.  So I tend to go a mile-a-minute even though 30 minutes previous I was groggily bumping around a dark hotel room.   This leads to mental fuzz.  Note how I mention that the coop wasn’t finished before the first egg came; then note how I speak of my daughter going to the coop to find that first egg.  Now I’ve got to go back and check the book and see what part of that quote is accurate.  Sheesh.  Glad I wasn’t testifying before Congress.

I don’t recall if I ever posted this.  Last spring during book tour in Seattle I was invited to sit down with Nancy Pearl, the librarian who has her own action figure.  If you are an author, going on Nancy Pearl’s show (“Book Lust”) is like having an audience with the Pope, being on the Tonight Show, and meeting Elvis – all rolled into one.  As of this typing, I haven’t seen the whole interview, but I did watch enough to come up with a question of my own: Did I even answer her first question?

It’s fun to joke, but long before I met Nancy Pearl, long before I sat down to do this interview, she made  couple of mentions of my books on National Public Radio, and those mentions had a very direct effect on the continued life of those books.  So I am grateful, and if you think I look like I’m sitting for this interview in the manner of an eager first grader on his best behavior as he recites his spelling words for Teacher, well, so it was.
