Life, Interrupted

I did a Canadian radio show called Shelf Life a few weeks ago. You can hear me fumble through talking about Book View Cafe (mostly correctly, from memory) and things like herbs, SF that is also a mystery, and how I impress a sound engineer by having my readings time out at exactly five minutes each. I read from Fires of Nuala and from Night Calls, but not my best readings. The one I did from "Ducks" for the Yard Dog Press Audio Road Show was better.


* Edit: -- that noise at the beginning of the YDP podcast is the intro of the craziness of a convention road show. The readings, and Tracy's News of YDP, are quite clear.

It's time for another installment of the Yard Dog Traveling Road Show! And this time, it includes my reading of a silly thing I did called "That Exploding Toilet Theory" where I prove that frat boys are just another species of Bubba. Julia Mandala also reads from her novel House of Doors. As I recall, this is frat boy POV, so there are a couple of words that might be considered NSFW (or at least not safe for toddlers who repeat things.)

You can download the MP3 from writer Tracy S. Morris's blog (link above) and Tracy is a frazzled new mother, so cut her some slack on any typos and the Christmas edition coming out two months late, okay?

I haven't heard this yet, because the able maintenance staff is actually mowing, or blowing, or something out there. I mean, these guys are good -- I mentioned that my fan had only one speed. They checked Monday and said they'd order one, and they installed the blasted thing yesterday! i wish they'd told me it was in, because I would have put the cat in the bathroom instead of startling the poor little guy with a a stranger making Lots of Noise. Otherwise, so far maintenance rocks here. Anyway, quality of recording unknown.

Oh, there will be a partial reading from Allie in a later YDP road show -- I read from the chapbook. No idea how it turned out, but you have that to look forward to!

And yes...still moving. Explanations (maybe) at a later time.

Edit: -- that noise at the beginning is the intro of the craziness of a convention road show. The readings, and Tracy's News of YDP, are quite clear. My story is the first event up. Not bad for my first reading on tape, but I rushed the last line. Sorry about that!
