Episode Four ~ Thursday, Oct 15, 1pm ET(listen to the archived version now)
• Ask the Writing Coach (your questions for me about writing and creativity) and a feature interview with Kristin Bair O'Keeffe author of Thirsty
My first introduction to Kristin Bair O'Keeffe was a few months back on Twitter, where I learned she had amassed this weird and wonderful collection of writers' quirks and eccentricities. "What a fun opener for one of my shows," I thought at the time.
But when I learned more about Kristin, I knew she was more than an opening act.
In addition to her quirky collection, the Pittsburgh native has been living in Shanghai since 2006 and has just published the luminously lyrical Thirsty, a historical novel set amidst the gritty, fire-breathing steel mills of 19th-century Pittsburgh.
During this month's feature interview, Kristin shares her stories about China and Pittsburgh, talks about her writing process and revels some of her quirks, as well as those she's picked up from other writers -- like the one about the writer who wears heavy headphones, not for the music and not to block out extraneous sound. "They just help me focus!" the writer told Kristin. We'll also be looking to hear your peculiar writing habits!
"Thirsty is a rare and special type of book—an intelligent page turner, a forward-thinking historical drama, a picture painted with equal shades of light and darkness."
~ David Crouse, author of The Man Back There
"A beautiful tale, vivid and gently told."
~ Don De Grazia, author of American Skin
During the first segment of the show, I'll offer some writing tips and inspiration and take your questions about writing and the creative process and about me and my books, The Voice of the Muse: Answering the Call to Write and The MoonQuest: A True Fantasy.
Please tune in, and bring your questions and quirks -- for me and my guests!
There are three ways to ask questions of my and my guests or to post comments:
• Post your questions in the show's chat room (free Blog Talk Radio account required)
• Post your questions directly to me on Twitter (@markdavidgerson)
• Post your questions directly to me on on my Facebook wall
