Alma Fullerton offers new interviews with authors Karleen Bradford, Dianne Ochiltree, Katy Duffield, and Robin Friedman. She also offers a new interview with agent Scott Treimel.

Here’s a peek at Scott’s: “Editors, once authors’ in-house protectors, are themselves often treading water, beholden to marketing and sales executives, and often job hopping as a result. An author needs an advocate inside the industry, and that’s an agent.” Read the whole interview.

Alma’s books include In the Garage (Red Deer, 2006) and Walking on Glass (Harper, 2007).

More Personally

“Chatting with Cynthia Leitich Smith” from Hello Ma’am. A look into the writing of Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007). The interview is mirrored at Melissa’s MySpace blog.

“Shop Talk Tuesday with Cynthia Leitich Smith” from Laura Bowers at Writing Without the Reins. Light and entertaining, beauty-shop style chat. Laura is the debut author of Beauty Shop for Rent (Harcourt, 2007), which is highly recommended.

Thanks to Sara’s Holds Shelf for the rave about Tantalize (Candlewick, 2007). Sara says: “Don’t read this book on an empty stomach! I’m serious. In the very first paragraph of the first chapter, we find Quincie, our heroine, eating fettuccine with scallops and garlic. I think my mouth actually started watering at that point.” As a vampire-restaurant novelist, I can think of no higher praise! Read the whole recommendation.
