I was interviewed for the Writers of the Future Podcast. A fun interview. With an audience of over 3 million, quite possibly the largest audience of any interview I've done.

I think that's great but I think it's too early. Right now, people are figuring out where they're going to live and if they can rebuild. Books (and other collections) will be down the road.

Happy Thanksgiving! Don't be like the Pilgrims. They didn't use forks (the Devil's tool!). They used spoons for soup & stew because their faith wasn't strong enough to withstand the heat.

Spend the holiday with people you actually like.

The weekend of Thanksgiving is Loscon, L.A.'s own science fiction con, at the LAX Hilton Hotel.

Loscon invited Genny & me to be their Fan Guests of Honor. We'll be on panels and I'll be signing copies of "Star Wars Memories" and "More Movie Memories".

Dr. Oz? Really?

I'm expecting Dr. Phil for the National Institute for Mental Health and Captain Kangaroo for the Secretary of the Army.

Apparently the only qualification is have been on TV.
