The Other Side of the Conversation

So I did my first telephone interview today as the “subject” instead of the reporter — a very odd experience.


There will be a story in Logansport’s Pharos-Tribune (probably in Sunday’s edition) about the book and the upcoming events I have scheduled back home over the next two weeks to promote “But Not Forgotten.”


As we ended our conversion, I told the reporter, Denise Massie, that “I’m much better at asking questions than answering them,” then directed her to the book’s website to fill in the gaps where I uhmed and hmmed. She was quite understanding…


Saturday’s departure for Logansport is coming up pretty quickly. I have business cards in hand, signature cards ready, the slideshow completed, and, thanks to good friend Maria Rogers, posters are up in Logansport and I have a digital projector setup and ready to go.


Now I just have to get past my anxiety over public speaking and rehearse the presentation…I’m sure the wine will help!
