Getting to know you, getting to know all about you...

I love doing interviews. It's a really fun, awesome way to interact with people, and sound a little bit less like either a chipmunk on a sugar high or a formal press release (two of my default settings). A good interview is an amazing thing, and even a bad interview is darkly comic, like a barn owl flying into a plate glass window. (Funny for me. Not necessarily so much funny for the owl.) So without further ado, some interviews.

The first, and most recent, is this interview for Fantasy Magazine, conducted by Paul Goat Allen. Paul asked amazing questions, and called me "a force of nature," which is always the way to endear yourself to me. He also seemed fairly sure that I am actually an artist commune. Silly Paul. Hive intelligences from beyond the solar system don't need communes...

Our second interview was actually conducted at SDCC, by the lovely Linda, for Muse Led. She came up to my hotel room while we were all unpacking, and asked lots of fun questions (when we weren't talking about our cats, which happened a lot). She was very sweet, and I had a lovely time. In-person interviews are always exciting.

I was supposed to do an interview with Teen Skepchick during Convergence, but we couldn't get our act together. Luckily for everyone involved, email exists, and we were able to finish the interview anyway. Lots of super-fun questions, most aimed at the interests of teen readers (which I really appreciate).

Finally for now, Jeff Vandermeer interviewed both me and A. Lee Martinez (author of Gil's All-Fright Diner!), which was totally cool. You can click through to his interview from this post...where you can also read a small sample of Ashes of Honor.

Happy Monday!
