Launching today: COBALT, a new quarterly literary magazine published online:
Each issue will feature fiction, non-fiction and poetry of the highest caliber, as well as interviews with some of the most influential writers in the literary community. We seek to publish quality creative work and promote the literary arts, as well as those who celebrate them.
I’m interviewed in the inaugural edition. (But I don’t know why comments are turned off. You can always comment here.) Enjoy.
So you mean it is ok for a Strait middle aged white guy to love your work? ;) Loved the interview lass. As you said love is love, sex is sex all the rest is ancillary. I look forward to your next book.
Peace
Dave, it's totally okay :)
Surely you expect to gain more squeeing fangirls like me after an interview like that, don't you?
Excellent stuff.
Great interview! Enjoyed all of it.
A ‘sex romp on girlie planet’ Now that's a description I would never have used for AMMONITE….
Only thing is whenever I hear you talking about her it makes it harder and harder to wait for Hild!! And then once it does come out, I know I'll be chomping at the bit for Vol.'s II and III. Life is hard sometimes. :)
After having read several years of interviews you've given, I have to ask:
What is the one interview question you wish SOMEONE would ask (but they never do)?
What is the one interview question you wish no one would ask you ever again?
Dianne, in person, or on the phone, I often wish the interviewer would treat me like a human being instead of a vending machine (questions in, answers out). It would be lovely to be asked, “How's your day been?” It would be lovely, too, for an interviewer to explain her/his angle: I want to really talk about your writing process for all the students I know who will read this, or Be funny, we want to entertain our people. I hate having to guess. But people seem to think writers are mind readers :)
And I think I'm done with the Is-Aud-really-you? question. But I imagine I'll get it about Hild, too.
But the question I really hate (loathe, detest, and–most especially–resent) is, usually from audio interviewers (radio, podcast), “So can you tell us a bit about the book?”
p.s. I've just thought of a couple of other things. Huh, I think this might be a blog post down the line.
