Cassandra in words (and pictures) at The House of Words

The indefatigable Marly Youmans has just published the first part of a two-part interview with me at her blog, "The palace at 2:00 am," illustrated with (to my surprise) some of my own paintings. In the interview, we talk about the strengths of small-press publishing, and what makes it satisfying to a creative person like me, even though it's expensive and time-consuming. Hope you'll take a look. And when you do, be sure to go back and read some of the previous posts in Marly's recent series, "The House of Words," -- they are all fascinating takes on writing and publishing by different people who are involved first-hand.
