this morning i received the following email from a reporter in Canada;
Hi Lisa, I'm a Montreal-based journalist and book reviewer (and hopelessly addicted knitter) and I loved your book "Yarnplay". I'll be reviewing it today on Radio Canada International's "The Link" and because I ended up with two copies (I was too impatient for your publisher to send me a copy and went out and bought one) I'll be sharing the wealth today and giving away a copy to folks who write in. "The Link" is a program meant to connect Canada to the world and the world to Canadians. It runs on the Sirius satellite, but everyone can listen to it on the website or download the podcast (which is free). Simply go to: http://www.rcinet.ca/rci/en/emissions/emission_1952.shtml The page will refresh today at 3:30pm eastern time and then you'll be able to listen to my review. Can you please put the word out on your blog so folks will tune in and listen and write in--you see, I don't get to do knitting titles too often because it's such a niche market. But if a huge number of knitters are listening and find my contribution interesting, perhaps my producers will let me make it a regular segment. Then there will be more books to dicuss (and maybe even for listeners to win!) The email address is thelink@rcinet.ca I'll have instructions for listeners today and then all they have to do is email in with their responses. The contest runs for just under 2 weeks, so they have to get their answers in before Dec 31, 2007. The winner will be announced on Jan 2, 2008. And it's open to everyone no matter where they live. If you miss the program today, you can always look up the archive on the right hand side of the home page and download the podcast. Thank you again for your lovely inspiring book and please help me get the word out. Happy holidays, Geeta
