School Library Journal Interview

November 3, 2010 by

This month’s Under Cover sec­tion of School Library Jour­nal fea­tures an inter­view with me.  It must’ve been a slow news at SLJ for the edi­tor to pick up the phone and talk to me about Black Hole Sun, samu­rai, Monty Python, and curs­ing in seven dif­fer­ent lan­guages, but he did, and the world is a bet­ter place for it, don’t you think?  You don’t? Me nei­ther. jk. Here’s the link to the interview.

The really fun part of the inter­view as the photo shoot for the photo they always run with the arti­cle.  In the past peo­ple have dressed up as char­ac­ters from their books. When the pho­tog­ra­pher, Brownie Har­ris (who has taken pic­tures of both JFK Jr and King Kong), sug­gested I dressed up like Durango, I nixed the idea.  Even if I had a suit of sym­biar­mor lying about, it would not be a good idea to squeeze me into it. Elvis tried that look, and look where it led.

So instead, we went with this:

The State of Things

April 16, 2009 by

In yet another debut, I will make my first radio appear­ance EVAH on WUNC North Car­olina Pub­lic Radio (except for the time I won a I Heart Chat­tanooga t-shirt that was two sizes too small). I’ll be a guest on “The State of Things” hosted by Frank Sta­sio. This is a live pro­gram, and if you’re really, really look­ing for some­thing to lis­ten to while eat­ing lunch (or brunch, for you West Coast­ers), you can tune in via the WUNC web site at noon on Fri­day, April 17. I think I’m sup­posed to talk about Soul Enchi­lada, but Lord only knows what will come out of my mouth.

WUNC is avail­able via a vari­ety of for­mats, includ­ing pod­cast, iTunes, etc. For more info, go here: http://wunc.org/about/online-streams-mobile-podcasting/listen

I’m on the Verge of

October 23, 2008 by

The amaz­ingly gra­cious Cynthea Liu has a new fea­ture on her web­site, www.writingforchildrenandteens.com, that she calls “Authors on the Verge.” The goal of the fea­ture is to intro­duce read­ers to authors who are, you know, on the verge of their careers. Recent authors include Cyn Balog, Nancy Viau, and Gayle C. Krause.

And now, me!

Please stop by Cynthea’s site, not only to read what really odd, erm, inter­est­ing things I said about Soul Enchi­lada and myself, but also to learn about other new authors, as well as take a tour around the content-rich site. If you’re inter­ested in writ­ing for teens and chil­dren, Cynthea’s is the place to be.

Here’s the link. Go. Go now. Shoo.  Shoo.

Leave a com­ment there, too, if you dare. Or if you’re not, like, in a big hurry or something.
