Radio interview.

My lip will automatically curl into a twisted grimace at the mention of talking on the phone. I hate it. I used to be fine with phones when I was a teen. (That was back before cell phones were a disposable lifeline.) Now that I am older, and the Internet puts communication at your fingertips, I find one on one contact bothersome. I would much rather communicate in an e-mail.

I think technology in general has fed my obsessive agoraphobic condition. It is easier to purchase merchandise online and have it delivered, than to go to the store. There are a few exceptions to this rule, but as time passes, technology has almost eliminated those. Eventually we will all live in a cyber world of existence. Will it be like the Matrix? Will we all be plugged into one computer that will tell us we are happy? It will feed us, and give us comfort from the real world. It will no longer be necessary for physical property, and education and information is only a plug in away.

I'm straying from my point...which I do often.

I was contacted about an interview for my book. It is for an online radio station, and it is conducted over the phone. (cringe) I don't particularly care to hear the sound of my own voice, but it is free publicity of my book. I would prefer an online post interview. That way I can take my time to think about what I want to say. I relayed the interview information to some friends of mine. They seemed shocked that I was going to do it. Why? The same reason when I was told that I should do a public reading of my book at a store for promotion. I generally tend to stutter and stumble over my words. My mind knows what it wants my mouth to articulate, but somewhere along the way it gets jumbled. When I write, I have time to sort the words out, make them coherent, but this verbal interview...I'm a little nervous. The more nervous I get, the more verbal stumbles there will be.

So somewhere in the near future, you will get to hear my incoherent words. It should be entertaining for you. I meet a singer of a band that I really like once, and got his autograph. The first thing I thought; wow, he's a lot shorter than what I had imagined. What will be your thoughts when you hear me speak? I will try to breathe and take my time so that I don't stumble so much. I hope that I don't freeze like a deer in headlights on the questions.

If I get to talk about vampires, werewolves, zombies, and witches though, they might not be able to shut me up.

Have pleasant vampire, werewolf, and zombie dreams. www.authorcvhunt.comwww.authorcvhunt.com
