Miss Conduct on KRUU & military.com

August 17th, 2009

A couple of fun interviews I did last month have now surfaced online. KRUU-FM is a non-profit radio station in Fairfield, Iowa, that runs a food show called “Great Taste.” Here‘s my guest appearance. Usually I don’t mind doing radio interviews from home, but I would really have liked to be in the studio where that fried cheese was being prepared.

And here is an interview I did for a woman who writes for military newspapers and publications, on the topic of “bad compliments.” What a great idea for an article, eh? It’s a good one, too.

What’s the most awkward/backhanded compliment you’ve ever received?

Hometown girl makes good

July 8th, 2009

In advance of my Kansas City reading tonight, I got some good publicity–a bit on the Fox WDAF morning show here, and a radio interview on the legendary Walt Bodine Show on KCUR, the local NPR affiliate. I used to be a theater publicist in KC, so it was great fun to go on the shows that I used to book people on myself!
