me on a podcast!?!
Wow, so many firsts. My first time on a podcast! My friend Scott Taylor, “The Bald Chronicler,” invited me to participate on his latest edition. I answer a few questions and then read aloud the first scene from Sudden Darkness.
I’m kinda shy about it, but here’s the link. (Is that what I really sound like?)
the magic box
aww, he likes it
I got a super nice phone call from Kathy Gordon, the managing editor at my publisher (Covenant ) telling me her cute new husband loves my book.
If I got the story straight (I was a bit muddled from excitement), he is doing a dissertation comparing Mormon YA lit and Jewish YA lit. He remembered Kathy talking about my book and asked if he could read it. She fetched him a copy. (Even though it isn’t out yet, she has the Power.)
Then, he proceeded to gobble it in one day. He wouldn’t put it down. He took it to the bathroom and didn’t come out for a half hour. His adult son was visiting and got ignored, because Dad was busy reading. He loved it! He asked her to find out if I was writing a sequel.
Yay! And yes. I’m working on the sequel now, like at this moment.
me in the news
Yay! I have a new article in the Deseret News today. (Sunday, Arts section)
The Time Keeper by Mitch Albom
Hope you like it.
book launch
Eee! Eee! My very first ever book launch party is scheduled! One week from today. October 13, 11-4, Centerville Seagull bookstore. It’s happening.
On that day people will pay money for my book and ask me to sign my name in the front. Can it be true?
