...CLEAR BLUE SKY
Isn't it strange how things happen? When least expected. This began 2 weeks ago on the Friday the Wash. Co fairgrounds Christmas festival opened. A customer entered my booth an congratulated me on the newspaper article in that days local paper - The Washington Observer. I knew nothing about it.
I got a newspaper and in the press release promoting the festival I was their featured artist. Why me?
Later that day a reporter from the Observer approached me and began asking questions about my pictures, me, and stuff. She asked if I did anything else, so me and my big mouth told her about my 5 published books. She asked if I was self-published and I told her NO - I was with a traditional publishing house complete with contract, they foot the bill for editing and publishing the manuscript, and I get Royalty checks. End of story. Or so I thought.
Last week I received a phone call from - the Observer. This reporter wanted to schedule an interview with me. Why, I asked. The answer - about my books. We settled on yesterday afternoon.
The reporter, and a photographer, arrived and were here well over an hour. We just sat around the dining room table and talked, photographer takings pictures, reporter asking questions and scribbling in her note-book. They examined each of my 5 books (6 counting the first one published in 1972) and asked numerous questions about the pending release of book No. 6 (or 7) titled THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS. Release date is early spring 2015.
I don't know when, or even IF, the article will appear in the newspaper. I don't know what they will say. I don't know if it will be good or bad. In fact I don't know nothin'.
Oh yes, the reporter also asked me about my photography, how and when I started selling etc. etc.
For some strange reason the RABBIT HOLE just keeps getting deeper. All I do is just try to live a normal (that's questionable) life minding my own business and doing what I truly enjoy doing. Strange and unusual things just seem to follow me around.
Maybe the answer is - IT IS HALLOWEEN!!!!
Enjoy your day and God Bless.
