YES it's March!!! First off, I realize I don't have a link to my book, author page, artist page etc. posted on here so in the name of shameless self promotion I will list them at the bottom of this post. See, I'm nice. I won't make you look a ten or so web links before you get to read about my wondrous life lesson for today. I am awesome!! (Shoot!! I'm Buddhist, I choose the middle path..ok SOOO......I am mildly awesome?......No no... I am kinda awesome?.....hmmm... I'm almost awesome? Not quite right...........OH, WAIT!!!!).....I AM SOMEWHAT AWESOME!!..phew! Bad karma avoided! Ok, now what was I talking about, wait let me read.......Oh yeah...
Second off, I will be featuring interviews with other authors bi-monthly, most are modest indie authors, like me, who are undiscovered talents, some...ta-da, are well known. In the coming months, I will have interviews with links to their books, blogs, websites etc, so if you like the author, you can find their work easily. Although, l am just getting to know the work of the first seven authors, I do know that they are generous people with love of writing and a willingness to help other authors, like little ol' me. They bravely volunteered when I asked if any writers were willing to become victims and be interviewed for my blog. THANK YOU! The last three authors I asked to interview because I love their work and have become friends with them on Facebook and through email. I appreciate those friendships very much. I am awaiting answers from five other authors I have talked with, and will be adding their names soon, I hope. And lastly is a tribute to my #1 favorite author. The woman who turned me into the sci-fi/fantasy geek I am today. I had read a little sci-fi/fantasy before but wasn't really into it. THEN, at 22 sci-fi/fantasy deprived years old, I read the first books of Dragon Riders of Pern..... and my life changed. So I will share with you something I was lucky enough to do.
So, here are my victims so far. Not sure the order that their interviews will be posted, because of time constraints with my victims' schedules, but they will be posted at some point......
Armen Pogharian YA Fantasy
Astrid Grant
Janet Lane Walters
Sharon Ledwith MG/YA

Andrea Parnell
Chris Redding paranormal/mystery On sale- Corpse Wisperer by Chris Redding
Malika Gandhi-I love her work! Very moving books beautifully written. Historical Fiction/Romance
Lama Surya Das (no relation) A world famous Lama with numerous book on Buddhist teachings, highlighting the Dzogchen teachings.
Trevor Makenzie- the ban of customer service people everywhere. He writes comedic emails to customer services for large companies like Wal-Mart and publishes them and their responses. He has a few very popular books published, which I loved and as you can see from a previous post, he is a man of his word and gave me a cookie for reviewing his book!
Now for the big surprise! I'll be sharing a transcript of a email conversation between my undisputed hero, the great Anne McCaffery, her son (not Todd, her other one who took care of her website) and myself, concerning artwork, specifically a charcoal portrait . This was about ten years ago and I still have my e-mails In a folder, and will never delete them. I was honored to have conversed with her even though e-mail. ..and more so to draw her. She was a beautiful lady inside and out and the world is a little less bright without her. Anne McCaffery, you will be missed. Unfortunately, I can not post a picture of the portrait, as I do not hold the copyright to the image. :(. It was still the most awesome thing I've ever done. Even better than my commission to do Jennifer Lopez's portrait, twice, and I do have right to post pictures of those charcoals as long as I don't sell the image as prints or to the media etc.
