First interview this morning didn’t go quite as well as last night’s Anchorage interview, which I thought went quite well. The station this morning double-booked, so I ended up with only about 5 minutes, which I’m not exactly sure was worth getting up at 2:30 in the morning for. OTOH, it was five minutes of exposure I wouldn’t have otherwise had, and it was right at the end of their hour, so people tuning in for the next segment might’ve caught it, so that’s cool.
Last night’s interview was fun. Jack Frost had clearly read at least several chapters of URBAN SHAMAN, and because he was in Alaska he didn’t ask me any questions about it. :)
I thought I might be able to talk myself into sluffing around and doing the interviews in sweat pants and a t-shirt, but it was not to be. One has to be mentally prepared, and part of that is the costuming. So it’s going on 5 in the morning and I look like a million dollars, if I do say so myself. Pity nobody else can see me. :)
Airplane yesterday was successful in that I both upgraded to first class (yay!) and got a couple thousand words written. Yay!
And dinner last night with Christine from Harlequin’s PR was a blast. She’s very cool and a lot of fun, so we hung out and ate and then I even got to bed at a reasonable hour. Which equates to about four and a half or five hours of sleep. Woke up around 1:45 and didn’t *really* go back to sleep after that. Didn’t want to oversleep. Hate that.
Ok. Going back to the room to call New Orleans.

I heard your interview in Anchorage last night! I wanted to tell you that I was very impressed at how confident you sounded, and also at how much like yourself you sounded.
Good job! Good luck with the rest of the interviews!
I’m sure you’re doing an awesome job, Catie :)
