We writers sit behind desks a lot. Not in front of cameras.
So it was with some hesitation that I agreed to have Ruth Anne Peck interview me for her Book-TV show, The Writer’s Nook.
The occasion was the publication of two new books: A scholarly biography (FANNY SEWARD: A LIFE) and a children’s picture book (‘AN AFFECTIONATE FAREWELL’: THE STORY OF OLD ABE AND OLD BOB).

Enjoy!
