The Okal Rel Universe in evolution and in the world.

 

• Exchanged e-mail with Paul Strickland who is working on a few profiles for Bridges to feature a handful of the wonderful people who intersect the Okal Rel Universe. Paul is struggling through the painful work of sorting out family estate business, as well. Remember, Paul, Rel pilots make dock! That's my way of saying somedays it is winning just to survive.




• Received a nice "hail" from ORU-friendly contact Tatjana Takseve (formerly Chorney), who teaches English at Saint Mary's University in Halifax. She has passed along my call for ideas about taking part in Bridges in June and the invitation to take part in anthologies to her students. She says life has become more complex for her her in a good way, which intrigued me! But that's all I got. I do know she's spending time in Europe this year for work-related reasons. She is a renaissance lit scholar. I recommended her to Marie Bilodeau as a possible inclusion in the first book of people who intersect the ORU. I am hoping Paul's profiles will contribute to Marie's work, too.




• Also heard from Reg Feyer of CFIS FM 93.1 about my offer to bring copies of Part 3: Pretenders to the interview for his station next Monday, as gifts for callers. He says "Sure. Bring some books. We don't often get callers, but you never know." So if you know someone who wants a copy, get them to tune in to CFIS FM 93.1 Monday March 9, 2009 at 6 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and give us a call.

I will be doing an interview with host Reg Feyer and fellow guest John Bell, this coming Monday (9 Mar 2009), at CFIS 93.1 in Prince George. I love community radio! It is a treat to be able to talk about my passion for a whole hour, and share it with others who are interested in the ideas and characters.

(from e-mail Mar 2 2009 from Reg Feyer, Operations Manager 93.1 CFIS-FM) Hi Lynda; Just wondering if you're available next Monday (March 9th) for a live interview on the Storytellers show. We would start at 6pm and go for as much of the hour as we can fill. We'll also have the phone lines open for listeners to call in. I've invited John Bell to sit in with us as well. He's a regular listener and contributor and is very interested in your efforts as a sci-fi writer. Reg Feyer
