You fell in love with our very first interview with Bree Despain.  You were very excited to listen to us chat with Ilyana Kadushin.  Today we will rock your world with this exclusive interview with narrator, actor and writer Jenna Lamia.  Well maybe that’s a little exaggerated but we do think you’ll enjoy this extra podcast.  Listen in as Jenna tells us what it’s like to work with, on and for some special projects.  Namely for being our Grace from the Wolves of Mercy Falls series.

WE MET THE ONE AND ONLY MAGGIE STIEFVATER!!!

Shannon and I were joined by our friends Jen and Christine.  We arrived around 5:45 and grabbed a third row seat.  I actually expected more people to show up. But we were lucky in that we didn’t have to wait in line so long and we got to chat a bit with the Magic Mrs S for a bit.  She was great.

She came out just a little past 7 and started talking and telling us some great stories. Telling us about her travels with Shiver, stupid cab drivers in CA, and a bit about little neurotic young Maggie.  She even read from Linger for us.  It’s awesome to hear an author read their own work.

Then she gave us an opportunity to ask her some questions.

We then got in line to wait for our opportunity to tell Maggie how much we love her and grab a pic or two with her.

Maggie we love you and wish you all the best.  We can not wait for Forever and the next chance to meet and chat with you again.

~Kim and Shannon

I was able to log into and listen to the interview last night. Although I was unable to call in the hosts did ask my question from the chat room!

Here is the interview for your listening pleasure!

Enjoy!

MLL Episode #5 – Shiver Friday April 30th 2010

Do you have a heightened sense of smell or hearing?
Does the forest call to you?
Does the cold make you SHIVER?
Then you MIGHT just be a werewolf, or maybe not!

This month we read the book Shiver By Maggie Stiefvater.  It’s a brilliant story of a girl, Grace, who has a connection with her wolf from the woods behind her house.  Listen in as we share our love and thoughts on this wonderful story.
