| Portrait of Author, Jingles Lamb by evarin20 |
Me: Welcome, Jingles.
Jingles: Thank you for the invitation. Is there a snack afterwards?
Me: Lunch will be provided with a fried egg.
Jingles: Don't overcook it, I like when the yolk is runny.
Me: Can we stick to the book?
Jingles: Of course.
Me: What inspired you to write Jingles All the Way?
Jingles: ME!
Me: Could you expand on that a little for our audience?
Jingles: I had an adventure, both amusing and frightening, that I wanted to share.
Me: Please, don't make me drag this out of you.
Jingles: I was living with people who only got a dog because all their friends on the Upper West Side had dogs. Little did I know they had another purpose in mind entirely.
Me: What was the purpose?
Jingles: People should read the book to find out, but I will say my former people worked with numbers, really worked them, in the Financial District downtown and made me complicit in their dirty dealings.
Me: Who is your current person?
Jingles: (Sigh) Sassy Collins. She's beautiful. She has brown eyes just like mine and hair the color of my ears.
Me: What is your favorite movie?
Jingles: Mastiffs of the Universe.
Me: I think that's titled Masters of the Universe.
Jingles: It shouldn't be.
Me: What movie star do you most identify with?
Jingles: Jet Li.
Me: What's your favorite Christmas Song?
Jingles: Jingles All the Way.
Me: I think that's called Jingle Bells.
Jingles: It shouldn't be.
Me: Is there anything else you'd like to say before lunch?
Jingles: My book is available as an ebook and as a paper version which makes it an excellent stocking stuffer. I don't wear stockings or the ridiculous booties either.

ReplyDeleteLoved the interview. I'll bet the story is equaly as fun.
ReplyDeleteBarbara, I loved this book. I totally identified with it because we always wonder what our dog is thinking. It was a super cute story. I love that it is told from the dog's perspective.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, Angela. I tell people that all the time! Thank you from me, and Jingles. We're glad you enjoyed it. How should I explain that it's a book for kids just as much as adults?
ReplyDeleteWhy do I make my life so complicated?! :-)
