Passionate About...
It's been cold, windy and rainy all day, and my internet connection has been bouncing in and out, so if this ends in the middle of a sentence, you'll know why.
Maddening.
I had the pleasure of doing a Passionate About Pets radio interview over at WCHE1520 on Monday with the always charming and talented host Rich Britton. One of the things we talked about was my new book Ordinary Beauty and the kinship in the story between the main character Sayre (pronounced Say-er, since I know some of you asked
) who grew up knowing she was a mistake, unwanted and unloved, and the orphaned feral kitten she befriends. Both are hungry for kindness and affection, a safe place to rest, and the love they didn't get the first time around.
If you want to listen in, and this attempt works, you can listen here WCHE radio interview and decide I sound nothing like you thought I did. That's all right, because I sound nothing like I thought I did, too.
Apparently my voice gets higher the more passionate I am about a subject (my friends and family will attest to that. Also to the arm waving, and talking with my hands) but happily, you can't see that wild flailing in a radio interview. That takes hanging out in person.
I mean, who doesn't love a great, passionate conversation, especially when it involves strong coffee and good friends? That's the stuff that dreams are made of.
