Looking for Some Leads

I’ve been thinking lately about some folks I’d like to interview for Buried Under Books, authors but also some other folks like agents and publicists.  It might also be nice to interview some people that have nothing to do with the book world except that they are readers—that’s practically a must or they wouldn’t even know who we are, you and me, book addicts extraordinaire.  So, I’m throwing the question—questions, actually—out to you.

1.  Who would you like to have me interview?  Be reasonable, please.  Stephen King is not going to while away an afternoon with me.

2.  What are the questions you’d like to have answered?  You can suggest as many or as few as you’d like.

3.  Think of someone else who’s been interviewed before but the one question you were dying to know about wasn’t asked.  Who is that person and what is the question?

4.  Would you like to be an interviewee?  Why? (Don’t be shy; everybody is interesting in some way!)

Leave your comments below or, if you prefer, email me at cncbooks1@gmail.com and we’ll see what mayhem we can cause :)

    How about Jim C. Hines (http://www.jimchines.com/)? I get linked to his blog entries (mirrored on LiveJournal) all the time, and he strikes me as someone who’d make a great interview subject.

    Another possibility might be the good folks at Writer Beware (http://accrispin.blogspot.com/) – who, as the latest post indicates, are looking for guest bloggers. Might be a good chance for a little quid pro quo. :-)

    This one’s a long shot, but it would be interesting to hear from Lois McMaster Bujold about the experience of having The Warrior’s Apprentice made into a French graphic novel – she’s talked about it a bit on her MySpace page (http://blogs.myspace.com/loismcmasterbujold), but maybe you could come up with more specific questions about the process and her reaction to the results (the latest post has a link to a .pdf of several pages from the graphic novel).
