Many of these articles first appeared in the A&E newsweekly Weekender, though no longer are available in the Weekender's website archives due to the publication's buyout by Lee Enterprises and the subsequent switch to another server. As time permits, Jody is scanning others from hard copies to post here as well. She continues to conduct and write author interviews on a limited, freelance basis.
