Been a while since the last update, I know. How have you been? It’s been pretty busy around here, but that’s a good thing! I’ve been pressing hard to finish up a manuscript that has a June 1st deadline. Oops. Not gonna make it, but everything will be okay. In the words of the great …
Don’t Worry, That Banana Isn’t Loaded
I’ve been meaning to write about the first time I was interviewed for television. This is probably a longer-than-usual read, but stick with it because you’ll get something out of it. I promise.
