maybe an interview about my writing

So yesterday I made a four-hour round-trip expedition to help do a 15-minute radio show about somebody else's book. And fossils. The book was "Time" by Roger Reid, and I think I have mentioned it here before. It's a good young-adult mystery set in the most important fossil site in Alabama, the Stephen C. Minkin Paleozoic Footprint Site. the geology connection was, of course, why I was invited to participate. The show is Carolyn Hutcheson's community show (I am embarrassed to admit I don't remember the exact name of the show). The show airs at noon on Troy University's public radio station, and is heard in southeast Alabama, southwestern Georgia, and western Florida. While I was there we taped a show about geology, which will probably air in May or June. We also talked about doing a show about my fiction and poetry; I don't know if that will happen. But it would be really cool. Actually, being interviewed on the radio was cool and I had never done it before. It was much easier and a lot more fun than I expected, mostly because Carolyn is a very good interviewer.
