The interview finally aired on Ripley's Believe it or Not on January 7th. Here's the link: http://www.ripleys.com/weird/videos-and-oddities/ripley-radio/king-of-stupid-human-tricks-crashing-a-bikers-funeral/ The segment about the Gappy series begins about 20:38 minutes into the show.
Hiya, regs. Well, Gappy's vampire adventures are going national on the airwaves! Next week I will be taping an author interview with the "X" Zone Radio/TV show out of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The 'X' Zone Radio Show" is broadcast internationally and syndicated by The 'X' Zone Broadcast Network (http://www.xzbn.net/) and on the TalkStar Radio Network, Monday - Friday from 10 pm - 2 am Eastern / 7 pm - 11 pm Pacific and then repeated in its entirety from 2 am - 6 am Eastern / 11 pm - 3 pm. Podcasts are available on Apple iTunes and at ‘X’ Zone Podcasts - http://www.xzonepodcast.com/. I'll let you know when my podcast's up and running.
Also, for those regs living out Arizona way, I will be doing a live 30-minute call-in program on 1100 KFNX's "Networking Arizona" show from 3:30 - 4:00 pm (Arizona time) on Friday, February 15th. If you're not in their broadcast area, you can listen on the web at www.1100kfnx.com and, of course, I will post the link to the podcast. Signed up for a meet-the-media conference in New York City in October. Great chance to network, meet TV and radio producers, journalists, agents and publishers and receive coaching on pitching Gappy's vampire adventures, finding the right hook, etc. They only have space for 100 people, so I'm waiting with bated breath to find out if I'm deemed worthy to attend. Wish me luck!
Worked on a press release for announcing the fourth book, Gappy and the Thieves, is out on Kindle. Took pretty much a whole weekend to write and refine it, add pictures, etc. The thing that took the most time was going through the media lists I have and compiling a spread sheet on who likes to be contacted by mail, fax, e-mail, etc. Luckily, hubby looked up how to coordinate things to make the e-mailing faster. Some people were faxed and a lot were mailed. I can't believe how many media people prefer receiving things in the mail, as opposed to e-mail. Get to do it all over again soon with announcement of the sixth book, Gappy and the Witch's Curse.
Hi. I've just spent 48 hours solid, creating this new website, so forgive me if I don't blog something straight away. If I have to type one more word in my currently sleep-deprived state, I think I'll scream. Some pretty weird things happened to me while I was writing Book Six: Gappy and the Witch's Curse, so stay tuned. Meanwhile, Hubby, a cup of tea might be nice, hint, hint!
