Full-page Q&A interview on social media for Our Blook.

Dafna Michelson is traveling to every state in the U.S., interviewing people who are making a difference in some way. I was one of seven people chosen to represent Massachusetts. The text is posted, and you can see the edited video here. There’s also a lovely photo gallery of Massachusetts images, including many beautiful ones from my rural neighborhood and town (starting from the green bridge railing, which is the Coolidge Bridge over the Connecticut River form Northampton to Hadley, and finishing from the summit of the mountain behind my house).

Dafna has the long hair and big earrings. The woman in white who is in many of the pictures is Charlene Andersen, who accompanied and assisted Dafna in this leg of her joourney.

Kare Anderson featured my story of how a giving attitude led to my next book contract, on the How We Partner blog.

Blog Talk Radio interviews on book marketing: with Astrid Stromberg in the U.K., and another show with Deidre Hughey on AuthorBuzz. This was a repeat appearance on Astrid’s show; she’d had me on a few weeks earlier to talk about business ethics.

Another radio show on ethics: the nationally syndicated Midweek Politics with David Pakman (I’m 17 minutes and 46 seconds into this one-hour show).

Toilet Paper Entrepreneur quoted me on success versus failure.

My frugal dating segment on ABC News has aired several times. Still waiting for the other segments we taped.

Also frugal dating tips for the Hattiesburg (MS) American, and a frugal travel tip on homestay organizations for Explore Howard County, an online publication from a newspaper in Maryland. And even an interview in an article about local alternative currencies for The Morning News (Springdale, AR)–I used to be on the Board of our local currency, back in the day.

A busy few months with the media.
