Upcoming interview alert!
I just got off the phone with a pleasant young woman reporter for the Weekly Alibi, mentioned below. Her name was Marisa Demarco. In my currently slightly-fuzzed mental state (still battling a low grade infection, which has migrated to my lungs, hopefully on its way out) I’m afraid I got her name wrong.
I hope she’ll be kind enough not to do the same to me.
Anyway, it was all set in motion by Patricia Rogers, a wonderful friend of mine and most of the New Mexico SF community, fans and pros alike (I consider myself both, by the way.) She got the notion she wanted to promote us NM SF authors - a noble notion indeed - so she called up her friend Devin O’Leary, who’s the alibi’s movie columnist as well as a star in some of Scott Phillips’ demented masterpieces. What with Bubonicon on its way in another month (!) or so he talked his editors into doing interviews with some of New Mexico’s dang innumerable science fiction and fantasy authors.
So I got my call as scheduled, and had a nice and what I hope was at least near-coherent conversation with Ms. Demarco. She said the piece is due to come out in the next issue next Thursday. So we shall see.
I have to thank her - as well as for taking the time and trouble to talk to me - for reminding me how scandalously behind I am in updating my online bibliography. I’m, good Lord, five or six books back. Although since I have plenty of actual writing to do before I head out to St. Louis it’s an open question as to whether I’ll actually get the page updated before then. Maybe on the road when I find a wireless node.
Anyway, my thanks to Patricia for heroically taking the trouble to get this rolling, and Devin and Marisa and the alibi. Subject to revocation depending upon what they actually say about me, of course.
