This is a week when I need to buckle down on the book, I was dreading trying to figure out what I\u2019d write for the blog post. \u00a0The answer to that question came, as it so often does, in this morning\u2019s batch of email.<\/p>\n

Months ago I was contacted by Jenny Wheeler, a podcaster from New Zealand, who wanted to do an interview with me to be posted on a podcast segment aimed at Binge Readers. \u00a0So yes, it seems I do have readers in faraway New Zealand, and I also know that some of those readers are most likely of the binge reading variety\u2014the ones who grab hold of a series and read every single book in order, one after another. \u00a0For years people have told me that reading my books is like eating Fritos because you can\u2019t read just one. \u00a0And thank goodness that\u2019s true!<\/p>\n

Eventually the interview appointment showed up on my schedule, and Jenny and I recorded it. \u00a0After that, as so often happens, nothing happened\u2014nothing at all\u2014until today when I heard from Jenny again letting me know that the interview is now live.<\/p>\n

Posted on line is an audio recording with a play button at the top of the page as well as a written transcript.\u00a0 Take your pick.\u00a0 I guess reading the written version could be referred to as either a virtual interview once removed or else as a socially distanced interview. Here\u2019s the link: \u00a0 https:\/\/bit.ly\/3v3iC6e<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you happen to be someone who has come to one or more of my live events, you may have heard some of the stories before\u2014or not. \u00a0And the time I would have spent writing the blog today was already expended when I did the interview. \u00a0I believe that qualifies as a win\/win.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s today\u2019s second-hand blog, coming to you the long way around via New Zealand.<\/p>\n

See there? \u00a0It really is a small, small world.<\/p>\n

Please pardon the ear worm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
