Author Interview

I just returned from an interview for one of the local newspapers, The Casper Journal. The reporter, Elysia, was excellent. She asked a lot of good questions.  I tried to focus on my writing and on how reading can help open new windows on the world, rather like the cover of my novella showing a casement open to the wonders of dreaming beyond night and day. Anyhow, I felt a bit hesitant with all the personal information, but I hope I did all right in the end and that the article turns out.

Read Across America

"Read Across America" was a great success this year. I joined other alumni from my old elementary school and read "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" in the gym. Then we and a bunch of other volunteers scattered into the classrooms and read from other Dr. Seuss selections. What a wonderful way to celebrate his birthday and to celebrate the love of reading.
Here is an interesting article about  Dr. Seuss and his connection to speculative fiction.
