The Next Chapter replays some of its favourite interviews over the summer and I’m thrilled to learn that my interview with Shelagh Rogers will be one of them! It will be on today at 1 PM. We chat about persistence, querying, Ian Rankin, Cuba and of course, The Beggar’s Opera!
Tune into CBC Radio, or if you can’t, you can listen here.
And thanks so much to the folks at CBC Radio, as well as the really wonderful Shelagh Rogers, who I hope to meet in person at the Kingston Writers Festival this September.
Update: The effect of a CBC radio interview always amazes me. Amazon ratings for The Beggar’s Opera jumped from 28,000 this morning, pre-interview, to this:
#226 in Books (See Top 100 in Books)
#8 in Books > Mystery, Thriller & Suspense > Mystery
#53 in Books > Literature & Fiction
Now, given the algorithms used by Amazon, that may only amount to a couple of books. But still … thanks, Shelagh!
