Radio Interview

Today, I took part in a radio interview with Pulse Community Radio. It was as part of my attempts to promote my work and it went well. I discussed my poetry collection and the Northlore Series with Andy, the DJ. It was nice that he had done some research about my work before I got there. As well as asking me about my writing, we talked about my work in archaeology, as well as being part of the Glasgow Vikings.

I also read a couple of the poems from Goddess of the Night. Even though I have done a number of poetic readings in recent months, I still find that doing so makes me nervous. Hopefully, I will come to terms with that, the more that I do such public performances.

The only thing was, he asked me about a book about dating, which wasn't any of the books that I have had any hand in. I know that there is another writer out there, who has the same name as myself, but who focuses on the dating scene. Andy was even kind enough to play some music requests for me. I got Smooth by Santana and Storyteller by Nightwish.

I have been contacting a number of other radio stations, as I am hoping to be able to do more interviews. I am just waiting to hear back from them.

I am planning that, when I have had more work published, I will get in contact with Pulse Community Radio again, and try to organise another interview. Even more incentive to get my finger out and get more of my writing finished and published.
