That said, ...Thanks, Florinda. I'm not speciesist!<br /><br />That said, yup, I'm with a smaller press (or, now, two smaller presses). So while my local indie bookstores are good about stocking my books (for which I am most grateful!!), they're most readily available at places like Amazon and BN.com. That said, you could try indies like Powell's (I believe Wendy has linked to Powell's) or some of the stores on my home site (like Harvard Book Store).<br /><br />Thanks for your interest!

But I've had trouble finding her books in the bookstores near me, so I may need to look online one of these days. Even though I'm a dog person, I think I'd like them :-).Florindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789402061034734894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-48139938684635254682009-04-14T08:31:00.000-07:002009-04-14T08:31:00.000-07:00same thing, better url:

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview, and the nice thing is that she really took her time in thoughtfully answering all of your questions. I've read several interviews where you can tell the author didn't want to give up their time. Authors like Clea will definitely sell books by showing her personality in this way!Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.com
