RADIO INTERVIEWS ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Hi folks,

Couple of things going on today you might want to check out.

First, I’d recommended my friend Lisa Lieberman Doctor to Jennifer Wilkov to be interviewed on her radio blog show on WomensRadio and it’s up! To listen to a truly brilliant writer and Hollywood executive who operated at the highest levels of filmland and television delivering useful information for both screenwriters and novelists, listen to her interview at http://www.womensradio.com/episodes/Your-Book-Is-Your-Hook!--Military-Wife-and-Author-Plus-A-Creative-Writing-Coach/10632.html

Second, I’ll be participating in my second interview today at 6 pm EST on Giovanni Gelati’s radio blog show The GZone. This should be like a fart in a skillet, as I suggested to Gio that instead of just interviewing me, he might consider some other folks as well, in a panel setting. So, it’ll be moi, plus Cort McMeel and Eddie Vega, founders of Bare Knuckle Press and Noir Nation Magazine, along with Sandra Ruttan and Brian Lindenmuth of Spinetingler Magazine and Snubnose Press. I’ve got stuff coming out from all of these guys, so it should be kind of interesting. Listen to us at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop. The interview goes live at 6, but if you miss it, it’ll be in the archives and readily available. I’m kind of excited about this and hope lots of you tune in.

Blue skies,

INTERVIEW TODAY

Hi folks,
Just a reminder--I'm getting interviewed today at 4 pm EST on Giovanni Gelati's radio show, The G-Spot. Here's the link--http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop. I'm not sure if you can hear it live or not, but if not, it should be posted on the site shortly thereafter. I'll post something after the show. I have no idea what he's going to ask so it'll be completely extemporaneous. Hope I don't insert my big foot into my equally big mouth... Ahhh... I know it's gonna happen. Tune in for the trainwreck...

On another note, there's a national news story going on today with which I have a slight connection. It's about voter registration fraud in St. Joe County (IN), where the Democratic Chairman, Butch Morgan, has resigned over the furor. Well, Butch and I are old friends, dating back to our days as classmates at Indiana University at South Bend (IUSB). He was the party co-chairman of our student party when we ran for student body offices. I ran for the president's gig and was elected. In fact, our entire slate was elected.

This past Saturday my wife Mary and I attended the wedding of Courtney Felabom, the son of a mutual friend, John and Angie Felabom. One of the reasons I was anxious to attend was that Butch Morgan was supposed to be there and would be sitting at our table. Well, he never showed up. This morning I got an email from Angie sending me the article on Butch's resignation and we figured out why ol' Butch was a no-show...

Interesting times... and more interesting friends...

Hope you catch the radio interview!

Blue skies,

GIOVANNI GELATI'S RADIO SHOW--THE "G-SPOT"

Hi folks,

Nearly every day, it seems, I discover another wonderful blog or other Internet site and I discovered one a couple of weeks ago that is absolutely first rate. I’m referring to Giovanni Gelati’s online radio show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop known as “The G-Spot.” I found it when we connected via Twitter and began chatting and Giovanni generously asked me to be interviewed on it. I’ll be chatting with him on October 18 at 4 pm—not sure when it will be available, but I’ll keep you posted. It may be live for all I know now and if not it’ll be shortly available on the site.

Just listened to a great interview Giovanni had with noir master Chris Rhatigan. Absolutely riveting stuff from one of the most respected names in hard-boiled and noir short fiction! Check it out in the archives on the site. Chris is one of the “forces” in noir—both for his own writing and for his blog at http://death-by-killing.blogspot.com/ 

Hope you folks tune in to hear the dulcet voice stylings of moi…

Blue skies,

Les
