On the Radio

I’ll be a guest on Creature Comforts on May 1st at 9 a.m., talking about Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator. Creature Comforts is a radio show on Mississippi Public Broadcasting, featuring information, discussions and call-ins about animals — both wild and domestic. The show will air two days before my book launch at Lemuria on Saturday, May 3rd at 11 a.m. I’ve been a listener since MPB launched the show in January and I am looking forward to talking about wolfsnails with Libby Hartfield, director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, Dr. Troy Majure, a veterinarian, and Gene Edwards, the show’s host.

In order to arrange the appearance, I called the show’s producer and followed up with a letter. I also wrote to Libby Hartfield. I had already been communicating with the museum’s education staff about an appearance at the museum, too. Libby was also familiar with my work from an appearance I did at the museum last year when my wolfsnail article appeared in Highlights for Children.

Once I was invited to appear on the show, I prepared a list of questions and answers about the book and about my work. Click here to see the Q&A.
