Interview Denied!

[alycewilson]

After the blogging panel at Philcon on Sunday, I headed up to the room where keynote speaker Catherine Asaro's reading had taken place for our scheduled interview.

She sounds like a gem.

[alycewilson]

^_^

You know, I really ought to interview you for Wild Violet. Would you be interested?

[onezumi]

Oh course! :) Just say when, where, and how. :)

[alycewilson]

Cool. I'll message you, and we can figure out the details.

[firesign10]

Well that was disappointing! And...odd.

[alycewilson]

My thoughts exactly.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the publicist. That kind of behaviour would leave me not wanting to have anything to do with them again. Nobody's that big a name that they can be rude, especially when it's someone giving them free publicity.

[creature_girl08]

Amen! I am with you on this one.

[alycewilson]

You might be right, but I'm going to send them anyway, just to see what happens.

[creature_girl08]

Man, what a jip. I'm sorry.

[alycewilson]

That's OK. Frank Wu should be a terrific interview. Now that I'm back from Thanksgiving, I'm going to peruse his work and come up with some appropriate questions.

[ex_frankwu]

Inappropriate questions might be fun, too.

[arhyalon]

Like the icon picture.

[jongibbs]

There's another moral. Sometimes people can act like jerks :)

[arhyalon]

Even nice people. I've known Ms. Asaro for years and have never seen her be anything except very gracious. I wonder if she really wasn't feeling well, or if she's just different that she was a few years back.

[alycewilson]

She seemed to be very busy every time I saw her. Maybe this was just a rough weekend for her.

[arhyalon]

I don't blame her for feeling overwhelmed and asking to reschedule.

I do think that if she choses to run out on you, she should have made it easier for you to reach her in the future.
