Every now and then you have to do something foolish

Well, the Publicity Lady at Ace (probably at PenquinUSA, more accurately) sent me an email yesterday that somebody from the Local Fishwrapper wants to interview me about DRAGON'S EYE. Now, I _have_ expressed my opinion on the reliability of LF before -- every time they do a bit, news or local color or whatever, that I actually personally know something about, they've gotten some important part wrong.

But I sent an email to LF Reporter Man, and have agreed to talk to him next week. We'll see...

Hey, with my sales figures, I figure I have nothing to lose. (Except having folks I meet on the day job making wisecracks for the next five years*, of course.)

*Or more. Mainers have long memories for public folly. One of the local cops still has to live down his nickname as Cosmo Cop for appearing in a Cosmopolitan item about eligible bachelors, ten or fifteen years ago. He was a student in our karate dojo at the time, and has changed police departments at least thrice since. The nickname follows him.
