MATC Times Request for Story

I received an email from the MATC Times newspaper today wanting to know if they could do a story about the fact one of their students (me) wrote a book and had it published.

Here is a copy of the email I received. I deleted his personal contact information.

Hello Ms Henderson,
 
This is a quick e-mail to first introduce myself. I am Wayne Miller, Downtown Campus Editor for the Times. I'm typing this e-mail in response to an e-mail that the Times received about a book that you have written. We as a staff are interested in covering the story and I will personally be putting this story together for the rest of the staff and students to read. I will e-mail soon with questions that I might have. Please send back an e-mail at your earliest convenience if you are interested in the Times covering your story. Thank you for your time.
 
- Wayne Miller

Update on MATC Interview

The meeting this afternoon with Wayne at the MATC Times went better than I anticipated. I gave him my entire story for the interview on how I started writing and how Branded came into being. I also told him a little bit about myself and my 20 years of theatre background.  He was quite impressed. Afterward, Wayne showed me around and introduced me to a few of the newspaper staff members including Bob Hanson, the facility advisor for the paper. We talked and joked with each other. Then he surprised me and asked if I would be interested in having my book reviewed, in addition to the interview on me. Immediately, I said yes!

Bob instantly assigned the book review to Alex to handle and he and I ended up talking for awhile. He even purchased a book from me right then and there for his own personal use, so I offered to autograp...
