I'm not God, although I keep trying

Here is my very first teaser for Freezer Burn, as assembled by the incomparable (or is it incorrigible?) Michael Steven Gregory of the Southern California Writer's Conference. I like it. It's professionally casual, gives you a hint into who I am, how I write, and how shocking it is to find I'm not a wordsmithing deity. There'll be a couple of more like this, I think, before we get down to the plot. Michael is posting a higher-resolution version on YouTube in the next couple of days.


Whaddya think? I think I sound pretty smart, and look, well, my age. Maybe next time, I'll speak through a sock puppet. Now I know why Streisand always monitors which side she's photographed from.

I really hope Karen (you know, Echelon Press) likes it!

  1. That went well! You sounded good, you made sense, and you look good close up. I would want that camera man to back off about fifty feet if he was filming me.

    Way ta go, Gayle!

  3. Helen - You're too kind. Really. I keep looking at that pasty-faced woman and wondering how my voice got stuck in there.

    Diana - Fortunately, I was in a closed room at a writer's conference doing this interview, so no distractions. I think phones are distraction magnets. Everytime I try to talk to someone on the phone, the dog barks, someone comes to the door, or my son can't find something.

    Glad you both like it!
