Cable TV stars...

This morning's interview by Dick Shoemaker on Cable 12 went really well. Four of us were there, so we split up, with Becky and yours truly taking the first portion to discuss the Friday night Coffeehouse Readings at Edible Vibe on 10 August. We mentioned all six of our authors, including the fact that Alyson Hagy will be present & will be introduced (so she can meet all of us) but she won't be reading from her newly-published book, Snow Ashes, until Saturday morning at 11 at the Library.

After the break, Marilyn Amero from the Franklin County Library, and Jim Morrison, Lake Writers, discussed the two authors speaking on the 11th. Bob Slaughter, who actually entered the Guard at the age of 16 and went on to fight in WWII, will read from his book, Omaha Beach and Beyond: the Long March of Sergeant Bob Slaughter, beginning at 10 Saturday morning.

Marilyn mentioned that Alyson Hagy, a former Franklin County resident now associate professor of English at the University of Wyoming, has been receiving good reviews of her new book. Alyson is "local girl made good" and is much admired by FC Library staff and the community.

Well, I don't get Cable 12, so those of you who do, please let us know how we did. It ran live at 8:30 (preceded by the SML Chamber) and should repeat sometime tonight and again over the weekend.
