Lauren Smith: What is your book about?
 The Dog Walked Down the Street
Lauren Smith: Why did you write it? Sal Glynn: In August 2005, I had been a presenter at the Mendocino Coast Writers Conference with Cypress House publisher Cynthia Frank. We were comparing notes on the students over dinner and trying to figure out how come they asked the same questions and had the same problems. An appreciative client had made a 20-page chapbook from my e-mailed harangues for the conference as a bit of postmodern promotion. Cynthia asked if I had thought of turning the chapbook into something more substantial. The conversation ended with a contract and my promise to send in the finished manuscript by November 15 for release the following September. Lauren Smith: What do you think is the biggest misconception about getting published? |

Lauren Smith: Why did you write this book?
 Needlepoint Trade Secrets
Lauren Smith: People seem to take needlepoint for granted, what are some things about this that would surprise readers?
Janet M. Perry: That needlepoint is a fantastic creative outlet, more adventurous than any other fiber art. Because needlepoint has been around for so long, people tend to dismiss it as "something my grandmother did" or "paint by numbers." But the reality is so much different. Needlepoint uses a broader range of threads and stitches than almost any other form of needlework. You can needlepoint with virtually any fiber (I have) and you can incorporate all kinds of found objects and other things into your stitching.

John Lucich.....
 Cyber Lies John Lucich: Thank you for inviting me. Penny Sanservieri: John tell us a little bit about your book. What is Cyber Lies about and what does it help us to do? John Lucich: Well Cyber Lies is about empowering the people to be able to analyze their own computers. So if they think that their kids are involved in activities online that are either inappropriate or they believe they may become victimized by having strangers going after then you’d be able to analyze the computer and find out exactly what their kids are involved in – who is communicating with their kids on a daily basis and then that’s true whether that’s for your kids or for your spouse. Penny Sanservieri: How difficult is it though to go through your computer and analyze it? Isn’t it a little tricky? |
