I have always been the guy that mostly stays in the back, quiet and observant. Being in the spotlight was never something like "Ah, this will be excellent".... with everyone staring at me and waiting for me to say something worth their time being there. "Yeah, you write satire, say something funny". Thus, a television interview, Zoom these days, is intimidating. Not frightening, I didn't try and hide, or curl up in the corner and cry.
Truth be told, Logan Crawford made it comfortable and easy. He even made me sound like an author worth reading. Most honored to have been on his program on The Spotlight Network. The feedback from the very nice people I work with at Atticus Publishing has been positive on my interview. I will be receiving a link to that interview that I will post here as soon as I receive it.
I have been at work on my first novel "Gallery of Hope", a satirical accounting of one Wendell Wankerman, a young man with deeply held beliefs on the propriety of the "Fine art Photography" hanging in his gallery, of hope, and the idealism of replicating the classical era a century before. Hope offers so many morsels of delicious satire. Hope eternal derives from idealistic youthful endeavors, however they turn out.
There will be magical realism involved, entailing of course cameras of variant eras discussing what "good photography' is, and how suited the cameras are to that task. I'm pretty certain there will also be trash talk by said cameras as to their owners' level of expertise, and other more juicy gossip, as cameras tend to do. Wendell in all likelihood, will survive the ordeals of gallery ownership, somewhat wiser for it. It's the ending. What to do with Wendell in the end.....
