Authors Like Us

Continuing with our "Sounds of BEA" theme, Lee and I met up with Adrienne Kress while in New York. While Book Expo America proved to be a wonderful time for networking with authors and publishers, as heard here it was also a time for creating new friendships. Adrienne was a blast to interview and also to hang out with for the day. While we could have recorded the entire trip to Central Park and the Empire State Building, and all of it would have been interesting, we chose these fifteen minutes to share. You can find out more about Adrienne here: http://www.adriennekress.com/author.html And you can read her experiences at BEA here: http://ididntchoosethis.blogspot.com/2010/05/book-expo-of-america-2010.html

Since Lee and I have a habit of getting lost and turned around, we thought it would be fun to gather a few clips to share.

This was our interview with Tom Angleberger, author of Strange Case of Origami Yoda. Many times in the past Lee and I have attempted to pull authors into a Star Wars discussion, but this time our author came willingly. There are teasers for book two, so listen carefully! http://origamiyoda.wordpress.com/

After nearly a six month absence, Authors Like Us is back. This was a podcast we did with Canadian author Helaine Becker, who had helped spearhead a book drive to bring attention to the closures of libraries in California. We chat about the state of Canadian schools, the apathy of our media and government, and what, if anything, we can do to attempt change. Sites of interest: http://www.helainebecker.com/

When geeks discuss hockey, sports, vegetarianism and Korea. All in one great podcast.
