…and any afternoon that starts off with an interview request has got to be a good one. I just got email from a woman at science fiction/fantasy/horror podcast site(s) Dragonpage/Slice of Sci-Fi asking if I’d be interested in doing an interview with them for their book-focused show, “Cover to Cover”. What I don’t know about podcast could fill libraries, but hell, Cory Doctorow thinks they’re cool, and if Cory Doctorow thinks they’re cool I’m pretty much willing to run with that. Besides, their sites are well put together, which is…
