\"Dan<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday, I received a phone call.<\/p>\n

It was Dan O’Shea (pictured above).<\/p>\n

Dan said, “Are you ready to do this?”<\/p>\n

And I glanced down at the pants pooling around my ankles and the bowl of tapioca pudding sitting there at my desk looking at me all lasciviously (you naughty pudding, you nasty, naughty pudding<\/em>), and I was like, “Can he see me? Does he have a spyglass on me from somewhere on the woods?”<\/p>\n

Then I remembered: Oh. Ohhhh<\/em>. Right. Right! The interview.<\/p>\n

I told him he’d have to call me back in five minutes, at which point I did my business with the pudding.<\/p>\n

Finally, when I finally toweled off, Dan did indeed call me back and we had a fantastic chat that took, what, 45 minutes? An hour? Who can say? By the time the Rufies wore off, I was bathed in fond remembrance.<\/p>\n

So, what the hell did we talk about? Well. We talked about Irregular Creatures<\/strong>. We talked about self-publishing. About blogging. About pantsers versus planners. It was a thoughtful conversation, largely devoid of heavy profanity and any mention of cake and\/or whores.<\/p>\n

Shit, that probably sounds boring.<\/p>\n

What I mean is<\/em>, we spent an hour talking about pudding-fucking. Which is not a metaphor. I mean we actually talked about fornicating with various puddings. His favorite? Figgy pudding. He’s old school. That’s just how Dan O’Shea rolls, ladies. When it comes to Ye Olde Danimal, it’s always Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Anyway, if you’d like to listen to a thoughtful conversation about the craft of writing<\/span> long treatise on the merits of banging a big ol’ glob of pudding, then Dan and I got you covered.<\/p>\n

Dan’s review of Irregular Creatures is here: REVIEW<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the interview (*.wav format) is here: PUDDING<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Please to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
