Over at It’s All About Books, I did a “Pick Five” about my literary influences.  Now I want to be back on the porch at Mom and Dad’s place, reading with the screens open…

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.

I’ll be on the “Back to the Farm” segment of To The Best of Our Knowledge this weekend.  Find out where/when to listen here.  I believe you can also eventually listen online here.

About what we’ll be doing today.

Talked on the telephone with former ‘Sconnie resident Megan Zabel recently.  You can read the exchange here.  Honest, I didn’t set that pager off myself.
