I have told everyone I know who knows ANYONE with Asperger's about your book and when it's coming out. I think it is going to be a bridge between the "normal" world and the Asperger's world. I hope you are very, very proud!Aprilynne Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542901402256938872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-83645278481136268322007-08-29T07:52:00.000-04:002007-08-29T07:52:00.000-04:00Very interesting.

They are integrated seemlessly--he is an utter pro with the media and the public. The best part about him is that he doesn't actually change who he IS when he greets the public. <BR/><BR/>I have this feeling that you've got the same quality. I'm glad you've got so much support and I can't wait to see you when you come to DENVER, woot!ssashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527483283426518167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-21185485991364623242007-08-28T21:32:00.000-04:002007-08-28T21:32:00.000-04:00John,This is so exciting.

I really hope you have a great time.<BR/><BR/>As someone who has been the other side frequently — the guy doing the interview — I used to spend a fair bit of time reading and researching the author, looking for something original or thought provoking in his or her background, something other interviewers might have missed. Authors going through the media gauntlet can lose energy quickly, and who can blame them? Answering the same question 50 times has to get old.<BR/><BR/>And then I would ask that one question, the one that hadn't been asked at any time in the previous three or four weeks, and you would see the author's eyes light up. He or she would engage right before my eyes. And a good interview would become a great one.*<BR/><BR/>So... I hope every one of those 50 interviewers asks at least one question that brings that shine to your eyes.<BR/><BR/>And don't sweat it if the interviewer has only read parts of your book. At this time of year — in my experience, anyway — someone on the book beat might have to interview six or seven writers each week during September. Even people who love reading have a hard time keeping up with numbers like that.<BR/><BR/>__________________<BR/>* That one question was the reason why I had a number of blurbs on Canadian book covers for awhile, in the '90s. *Sniff*SmartlikeStreetcarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637873925879825807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5751271189667675662.post-38738418485233179522007-08-28T11:39:00.000-04:002007-08-28T11:39:00.000-04:00Hey John, what interesting information, thanks.

It would have helped a great deal I am sure. It's good, and financially smart, of the publisher to arrange this for you. Not to mention helping you be more confident, which goes a long way in front of any audience.
