Brian Lindenmuth has been doing interviews with short story writers on Bookspotcentral. You can find the interview here. Thanks to Brian for including me in his project.
I really, really like your comment about what makes good fiction: A sense of place, a sense of dread, a sense of inevitability– all put in the path of a good character.

Patti,
If your ass feels a little wet, it's because I just finished kissing it. It's sincere though.
Right back at you.
Patti, if ever I'm interviewed about shorts, I'm totally cribbing your answers. You came across very well, I think. Well done!

Hey you AHMM author. I think they'll be interviewing you about many things.
Great interview, Patti!
Like the change up in the questions. Very polished answers. Sense of dread. Loved that.
Thanks Scott and Kieran. I just babbled, I'm afraid.
Very nice! I enjoyed that.
