Hi, all -

I finally got that CSpan video of the interview with Ray that was conducted on April 27th. (It was excellent, by the way.) In it, Ray mentions that "Let's All Kill Constance!" will be released this winter, and *another* short story collection will come out sometime this year! That's in addition to his complete poems (some 400), "They Have Not Seen the Stars," which will be published in the Fall.

Just thought you all would like to know.

Greg, what were the high points of the interview for you? Mr. Bradbury's overall spirit and temperament, in view of being slowed recently by some physical challenges.

Any comments on movie possibilities (often discussed on this site's posts)? Thanks.

It's nice to see that Ray is just sitting back these days, relaxing and cutting down on his workload.

Sometime he will just have to bring up his productivity! Really, some people.

I was surprised and very happy to see how energetic Ray seemed, despite his physical limitations. The interview was excellent... He took phone calls, and it seemed like everyone who phoned in had met him at some point, and had been moved by the meeting in a positive way. Everyone seemed to have a personal story to tell.

As always, I was moved and inspired by Ray's advice on following your dreams, and his words on the passion and contentment that comes with doing what you love.

That, coupled with the calls from his readers, the news about new books, and his general enthusiasm and presence made it a great interview! Check it out if you have a chance.
