Book Tour
Well, now that Hearing is Believing is fresh off the printing press, I've been working full gear--no easy task with a gimp leg and a severe case of cabin fever. Lately I've had about 4 radio interviews a day. One was super early--I think 5:30 AM or so. Plus it was my first one so I was alittle rusty. So wqhen the DJ asked me what the title of the book was, wouldn't you know I totally forgot the exact wording of the subtitle? I mean Jeez! He probably wanted to ask me to entitle my next book, Raising Authors Who Have a Brain. Hmmm. Well, I still pull the ol' "I'm a mother of 5 whose older than dirt," and will as long as it continues to sound reasonably believable. The weirdest thing about these radio "phoners": I have to put a sock over my receiver. Otherwise my spitting sounds make it seem more like a weather report than a book interview. The first time I did this it was also the crack of dawn and the guy asked me to recite Peter Piper picked a peck of, well, you know. Naturally I stumbled all over it. I was hoping the sock was meant to dampen my tongue clumsiness, but no such luck. Frankly, I really feel kinda silly talking into a sock. Fortunately, I do a sniff test first.
