Listen to Sherman Alexie, Judy Blume, and Neil Gaiman talk books! They talk about Young Adult fiction, but plenty of folks out there who want to put a story on the page ought to enjoy it too. (And I’m specifically thinking of you, Shelli!)
And by the by, I totally agree with Sherman about Neil. Sigh and flutter of heart.

Very cool! Thanks!
I recently heard a short story by Sherman Alexie read on Selected Shorts, and shortly after, I heard an interview with him on another podcast. I have been wanting to buy some of his books.
