At Ben McNally Books
On a visit to Ben McNally Books, Rupert McNally asked, on the spot, to tape a brief video of me speaking about my book and then about a favourite writer of my choosing; you’ll see who I chose.

Traci Skuce organized a popular week-long series of webinars about writing; my segment was about memoir. She’s a lively interviewer, and I enjoyed talking to her a great deal.
Video interview with Two Old Guys Talking
In this wide-ranging conversation, two curious, well-read men ask interesting questions about writing memoir, even surviving as a writer, and about my books specifically. Lots of laughs, too.
