Episode 23 - Tom Angleberger

This was our interview with Tom Angleberger, author of Strange Case of Origami Yoda. Many times in the past Lee and I have attempted to pull authors into a Star Wars discussion, but this time our author came willingly. There are teasers for book two, so listen carefully! http://origamiyoda.wordpress.com/

Episode 22 Helaine Becker

After nearly a six month absence, Authors Like Us is back. This was a podcast we did with Canadian author Helaine Becker, who had helped spearhead a book drive to bring attention to the closures of libraries in California. We chat about the state of Canadian schools, the apathy of our media and government, and what, if anything, we can do to attempt change. Sites of interest: http://www.helainebecker.com/

Episode 20 - Barbara Haworth-Attard

For an author who claims not to write very often, Barbara Haworth-Attard has written a lot of books. She came to my attention first with her wonderful novel, Theories of Relativity, back in my early author days. This will also be a part one of two. Lee and I had a blast interviewing her. She is intelligent, witty and honest. Oh, wait until you hear just how honest she is! This interview is exactly what Lee and I had hoped for when we started ALU - to feel as if you were sitting down over tea (or quilting) with the author. To learn more about her, and to read her fabulous books, check out her website: http://www.barbarahaworthattard.com/ To see the trailer she mentions that her son worked on (Jason Attard), check out this link: http://www.swtor.com/media/trailers/designing-light-side

Episode 19 - Susin Nielsen PART ONE

Anyone who was a teenager in the 80s grew up on the wonderful Canadian drama, Degrassi Junior High. The success of the show can be summed up by its fun cast, real teens, and its great writing. As a teen, I never thought I'd ever be so lucky as to meet one of those writers. Lee and I met up with Susin Neilsen at Oz Coffee on a warm and sunny Vancouver afternoon. We chatted about her picture books, her novels and her career as a TV writer. Her dry wit extends beyond the pages of her books and scripts, right into her in-person conversation. In the first part of the interview, we chat with Susin about her newest book - Dear George Clooney, Please Marry My Mom. While the machines at Oz were a bit loud (actually, my recorder was just more powerful than I realized) we hope the background noise will make you feel as if you were there with us. You can learn more about Susin at: http://www.susinnielsen.com/

Episode 18 - The Lee and James Interview

This is how far behind we are. We recorded this episode at the end of August, meaning it to be a summer wrap-up. I suppose it still is ... though some of our "future" events are now past. Either way, it's a good snap shot into the lives of Lee Fodi and myself, James McCann, all things techie (and tardy). Guest interviewer kc dyer (www.kcdyer.com) once again takes charge, and offers a funny perspective into the life of the two authors who run Authors Like Us. I should mention, that if you listen past the closing song you will get our out takes from Pirate Camp 2010!

Episode 17 - Kevin Sylvester

We could call this the "Food Episode," as much of it centres around the many dishes we love to eat. This is perfect for our guest, Kevin Sylvester, whom many of you Canucks may recall from his CBC radio days. Kevin's books, Neil Flambé and the Marco Polo Murders, and the sequel, The Aztec Abduction, are fresh stories for kids who are looking for something a little different. In this episode you'll discover some of the delectable dishes, and a narrow miss with a pulled rat sandwich, that helped inspire this new face to the Canlit scene. You can find out more about Kevin at his blog, http://kevinarts.blogspot.com/
