[LMB] (news & chat) radio interview upcoming

[Lois McMaster Bujold]

Hi all --

    I'm just back from downtown Minneapolis, where I recorded a radio 
interview with the folks from independent public radio station KFAI's 
program "Write On Radio".  It seemed to go very well -- really good 
questions, and they let me read a bit from _Beguilement_.  It will 
likely air sometime in December -- I'll post a heads-up when I get the 
date and time, plus they will have it available as streaming audio from 
their website for up to two weeks after the broadcast, at www.kfai.org.  
They normally air the show at 11 AM on Thursdays.  90.3 FM in Mpls, 
106.7 in St. Paul.

    And this concludes our broadcast day in more ways than one, being my 
last official outing to talk with, like, total strangers about my book 
for a while.  I still have a couple of blog posts to write for the Eos 
blog next week, but I have ideas for at least one of them thanks to the 
chat list (thanks, Mary Piero Carey -- I think one'll be about 
landscapes in TSK.)  After I recover a bit.

    I also had a quick phone interview with a reporter from the Sci Fi 
channel's website, Sci Fi Wire, although I'm afraid I jittered between 
tongue-tied and  incoherent on that one.  It'll be written up rather 
than recorded, though, so perhaps he'll smooth it out.  It's amazing how 
the way the questions are framed facilitates, or doesn't, the answers.  
A blunt "Describe the plot of your book" is not one I can get my head 
around, for some reason. Especially not for *this* book.  The KFAI 
interviewer was a writer himself, and somehow much easier to talk to.

    Ta, L.  (Suffering PR fatigue, but still spending much too long on 
the internet.)
