Prior to a reading in Plymouth, Minnesota, I sat for an enjoyable interview with Aaron Landry of the Heavy Table.  Poor guy, I rambled like sixty.  I hope he didn’t try to transcribe the whole thing.  The excerpted interview has now been posted: you can read it here.

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.

Late notice, but at approximately 8:10 a.m. Central I will be doing a live interview with Andy Schneider, the famous Chicken Whisperer.  More info about Andy and the show here.   You can listen live online here.  The show replays at 11 a.m. Central, and when it is archived we will also provide that link.

POSTCRIPT: Hey, that was fun.  Thank you to the Chicken Whisperer.  We talked chickens, but also sneezing cows, and we both admitted we would be nothing without our wives.  If you’re here to look for the book, click right here.  We also have a mailing list signup here, Facebook page here, and I sometimes Twitter there.

But above all *cluck!* and welcome.

It was so windy outside that the poor reporter who came to write this story wound up having to interview me inside the granary.  We each sat on a piece of firewood.  She was not the sort of person to complain.  The photographs are fun.  Don’t let the smile fool ya, I don’t much care for them two roosters.  Anyways, here’s the link.
