My publisher recently asked me to record a teaser from my short stories that appear in the anthology, The EX Factor. Anyone narrate their own work before? I used some low-tech stuff (it is just a teaser, after all) and felt like the results were mixed...mostly with my own performance, I suppose.

Anyway, just curious what others' experiences have been.

Welcomed

Thanks to Christa Miller for thinking to invite me. This place looks like a great place to spend a little time. I'm looking forward to it.

My first order of business will be to jump around and check out everyone else's page, though....

How've you been? I need to read HEROS!

At 12:57am on April 23, 2007, Frank Zafiro said…: Thanks, Brian. I'm pretty excited at THE WORST DOOR becoming a Derringer Finalist. It's one of my favorite stories.

I haven't read Citizen Vince yet, though I just finished Land of the Blind, which was great.

It is my hope that my stories and novels will capture the flavor of Spokane, even if I do call it River City. You'll have to let me know.

At 2:06pm on April 9, 2007, Brian Thornton said…: Hi Frank- congratulations on your Derringer nom. Have you read Jess Walter's CITIZEN VINCE yet? He *nailed* Spokaloo circa 1980 for me.

At 5:31am on March 24, 2007, Frank Zafiro said…: Thanks, Angie, for the welcome.

Bill, good to see you, too. Congratulations on LOST DOG. Email me when you get a chance, because I'd like an autographed copy.

Fleur, I am totally, utterly there! :-)

And Brian, my fellow Spokanite, things here are wonderful, banal, beautiful and fucked up...just like always.

Drinks are on me, and sushi too :-)

At 6:53am on March 20, 2007, Bill Cameron said…: Frank, good to see you, man! I been meaning to email you for about a month! Just to say hi, but hey, here's good too! Hi!

At 4:54pm on March 19, 2007, Angie said…: Hi, Frank & welcome!
