Jane May

I love interviewing and talking with new authors--mostly because they're still enthusiastic about being interviewed and are willing to talk. Theirs are some of the most fascinating interviews, perhaps because they haven't answered the same questions a bazillion times already.

An example of this is the most recent Book Help Web interview with Jane May. It was really a lot of fun to do and I think it is fascinating to read. She's got a lot of interesting things to say and a wonderful sense of humor. It also helped that I truly got a kick out of her latest book, Hooked. It's a funny story that never gets preachy despite having something to say.

This was the first interview that I've done at Book Help Web using our chat room. It provided a nice opportunity for us to go back and forth on a given topic rather than being confined to a single question and answer. I look forward to doing more interviews that way.
