CBS Saturday Morning pays me a visit

So a cool, exciting, fantastic thing happened this week: Jeff Glor, host of CBS Saturday Morning, came to Austin to interview me for the show. We talked all things books, writing, Heat 2, burned-down houses, and Shadowheart. The entire crew was great, and made me feel like a queen.

The interview will air in late October. I still feel like I’m floating.

Quotes by Meg Gardiner (?)

“Was it hard to watch people go?
No. Breathing afterward, every day, was harder.”
― Meg Gardiner, The Dirty Secrets Club

“Running cured almost anything. It eased pain; it exhilarated; it served as penance and validation. It turned lone wolf into a compliment. Running was objective – the stop-watch never lied. Races judged competitors on how long and hard they could run fast, not on a coach’s decision to play favorites with the starting lineup. Running was pure.”
― Meg Gardiner, Ransom River

Meg’s Quotes

“neatness can be carried too far, so that the work begins to seem fussy and overwrought, anal compulsive, unspontaneous, and remembering that, on the other hand, mess is no adequate alternative.”
