Check Out my Interview in the Pittsburgh Examiner
I hadn’t published a post at my usual time today because I was waiting for my interview to go live. Well, it’s live now! Here’s an excerpt:
***
4. If you could go back in time and be any figure from history, who would it be?
If we’re talking about near history, I’d definitely be Shirley Verrett, an opera singer who sung both mezzo-soprano and soprano parts. I love opera with all my heart but have absolutely no talent, so it would be nice to possess such extraordinary talent combined with such a strong stage presence and acting skills.
If we’re talking about less recent history it would have to be a toss-up between Hatshepsut and Cleopatra VII. Hatshepsut ruled in a time of great peace and prosperity in Egypt. Living as her would be worth it solely on the basis of learning about her famous expedition to Punt. At the same time, being Cleopatra VII would be fascinating because even though she lived a rather tragic life, she had immense power and the love of two of the most important men of the time. She was worshiped as a goddess but she was also able to conduct a military campaign and play the game of politics well.

Your Shameless Blogging Self-Promotion Thread
Since I have a lot of blogging related things to do today (which include interviews, reviews and actually starting books I have a deadline to read) I’ve decided to turn over the site to you guys. Basically, in the comments below tell us a little about your blog and leave a link to it, even if it’s already linked to in your profile.
Your blog doesn’t have to be a book blog and I won’t be moderating this thread too heavily but obviously blogs with spammy or pornographic content aren’t acceptable. That’s about the only rule aside from my regular be nice commenting policy.
So tell myself and everyone else reading this what your blog is about and why we should read it. Go on! Who can turn down a little self-promotion?
If You Love Reading…
I know I haven’t been posted on a very consistent schedule lately, but I do have a life outside blogging and it’s been pretty chaotic. It will likely remain chaotic until at least this Friday, which is when I’ll try to get back on my regular posting schedule. So if you’re looking for book reviews, I would recommend checking out We Heart Reading, a relatively new site that’s dedicated solely to books. It has reviews on YA novels, romance, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, etc. There are some really talented book reviews and writers on there, so I think many of you would enjoy it if you’re looking for something a bit different than what I cover here on The Mad Reviewer. Go and check it out! Comment, like, share! And please put up with my shameless self promotion because I am also an author there.
