Doesn't Barbara ask good questions!<br /><br />Rick--How nice of you to check out my interview! Liars and storytellers--yeah, they sometimes are one and the same, especially the more colorful liars.<br /><br />Penny--I'm glad you got to see this interview. I once had an English lit professor who was brilliant, not because of his lectures (he did very little) but because he asked questions that caused us to dig deep into the material to draw out what he wanted to teach. I think Barbara has that gift.....And I can't wait to be on her radio show!<br /><br />Thank you all!<br />JanieJanie Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766180005083244058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-28707070017135016692010-02-12T13:51:53.858-08:002010-02-12T13:51:53.858-08:00Penny,

But there is always some leveling. One of my brothers-in-law said, "It's a book? It's the size of a short story."<br /><br />Well, let's just say it's the prelude to a loooooong series. And, thanks to Breathless Press I didn't have to wait until the rest of Jan-nell's adventures were fully formed. But they are coming soon.<br />JanieJanie Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766180005083244058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-34562120607895198632010-02-10T12:07:49.944-08:002010-02-10T12:07:49.944-08:00Janie, cograts on Bowdancer!

I've sent out some emails and a couple of posts at Facebook and I've been getting personal comments from all sorts of folks who really liked your questions. Someone told me it was the best author interview they'd ever seen! You should be proud. <br /><br />One of my fondest responses I got was from Sam Pickering, the essayist (and model for the teacher in Dead Poet Society) who thought it was a terrific interview. <br /><br />Again, my thanks!<br />JanieJanie Franzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766180005083244058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349886618037006192.post-65662507112850774342010-02-06T13:01:33.908-08:002010-02-06T13:01:33.908-08:00Janet,

How wonderful that you knew Janie when you lived near each other.:) Isn't it wonderful to see an old friend do well.<br /><br /> I almost lived in Grand Forks when I was in my early twenties. My husband had a scholarship to the University of North Dakota and we drove there from New York. But I couldn't get a job(I tried at the Army base for teaching) and the only apt we could find was in the basement.
