GuysLitWire, YALSA, and amazing publishers, including my own (Little, Brown Books!).The morning started with an interview on KING 5 News. Egads, I hate TV and radio interviews. Anchorwoman, Joyce Taylor, wanted to do a short segment on me for her Hometown Heroes show. While flattering, it was also very awkward since while I am glad to be back in my Hometown, I am not feeling very heroic. I asked if she might want to shoot the Seattle-area divas dropping books off at our Children's Hospital. Thankfully, Joyce was interested. So I was flanked by my girls: Lorie Ann Grover, Holly Cupala, and Dia Calhoun. And we all very much missed our Melissa Walker.
Deep breath. Bright lipstick. And then Lorenzo the camera man started shooting every breath, um, and er as Joyce and I chatted about my books, community service (including the Find Beauty Challenge), and readergirlz.
Since I hate watching myself on TV, chances are I won't catch the feature story when it airs in 2-3 weeks. But for now, here's the crew:
Kira Haller (Children's Hospital), Holly Cupala, Dia Calhoun, Lorie Ann Grover, me, Joyce Taylor.Photographs all captured beautifully by S.Y. Headley.
Tina!
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased! I am SO happy for you! I am glad it is at Children's! All of the pictures I recognize you where you are!
I would love to give my books to Seattle Children's! Please let me know what I may do to help!!
PS:
You have no reason to be worried/nervous for ANY interviews! After it is only the true and inner beauty that matters:)
I'm excited to see the full interview!
With Lots of Love,
