On NBC and Fox--interview about books

1/25/2013

3 Comments

 
Several nights ago I was out walking my dog around our neighborhood and I noticed a white van parked at a side street waiting for something. It was dark so I watched it for a few minutes. Finally the van  pulled out and stopped next to me. I noticed an NBC logo on the side. The driver asked if we had any crime problems in the area and what, if anything, did I have to do with crime-watch efforts. I told him we were having some problems but that they had abated lately. He told me about a story that he was following up on a new technology called Smart Water--a  kind of water that, when touched by a bad guy, stays on him for up to 5 years. I was fascinated.

He was puzzled by my interest. I write crime/fiction I said.

Wow, he said, can I talk with you at your home about your books and have any of them been published as yet? I said sure to the first question--worried about my wife's  reaction to TV camera's in our home late at night when she was in her Pajamas--as I was at the  time as well==and no to the second, explaining that my agent was still shopping them.

So we did the interview with me at my computer typing a a passage in A Cold Copper Moon (book 3)--in our dining room--after I had explained to my wife that this was not joke as I came into the house with our dog and told her that NBC/Fox was at the door.

The moral: Don't walk your dog at night in your PJs. You never know whom you may run into.

Dr. Conrath,

After reading about your late-night misfortune I'm sure glad I don't own a dog. Although, I have watched my neighbors out and about taking their 4-legged children for late evening strolls; just not in PJs. Congrats on the publicity. Hopefully this will help speed things along.

Hey, Monique! Great to hear from you! thanks for the comment. It was a trip for sure!

I am now rewriting the first part of Blood Moon to get it ready for submission to a publisher. Fingers crossed!
How are you?

    Richard's first two books in the Cooper Mystery Series, Cooper's Moon and Blood Moon Rising will have a grand finale coming out this summer, 2020...In this next book, A Cold Copper Moon, readers will learn what happened to Detective Cooper's son, Maxie. Remember? Max disappeared 8 years ago. I promise I'll give you ample clues, but the end provides quite a twist! Let's see if you can figure it out... I doubt it. No early readers have so far.
