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.
Sat down with Neil Heinen last time I passed through Madison, and now the interview is posted. I haven’t actually been able to watch the whole thing (satellite internet: sounds zippy, isn’t) (yep, aware of other options, none of which are options at this latitude/longitude) (trust me and my blood pressure, we’ve checked), so I’m hoping I didn’t say anything horrifying.
Here is how the interview currently appears on my computer screen:
Footage of my morning TV interview at KATU in Portland, Oregon can now be viewed here. Farmer friends, please note I keep trying to wedge in the fact that I am not a real farmer. Added bonus: Enjoy watching the author scramble for ways to explain that he was bitten on the butt by a coonhound in terms that won’t get him hustled out the back door.
Mister Sleepy
Did this on four hours sleep, nearly curled up on the overstuffed chair for a nap. Been on the road 13 of the last 14 days, I note I am getting to where I need a haircut. Will need to locate the proper high-tone salon.
