Bonus Question(s) that Didn't Air on the Live Radio Show
Matthew Peterson:
I wanted to ask you a bonus question. And this will be on the website, as I transcribe the interview. You have a lot of fans. If there was something that you could say to your fans, what would it be?
Piers Anthony:
Something that I would say to my fans is that I appreciate all of you. I’m closer to my readers than, I think, most authors are. I’ve learned some good things from them. Many of them came to understand me and I’d like to think that I understand them. So, it’s micro-managing, really. And I appreciate all of them.
Matthew Peterson:
Thank you very much Piers.
Extra Material That was Cut from the Radio Show Because of Time Constraints
Matthew Peterson:
I’ve been doing a lot of research. I’ve actually been reading some of your books recently. And that’s why I contacted you, because when I was a child that’s when my brothers were reading your books, and I was like, “Hey, I remember those covers!”
Piers Anthony:
[laughs] Well, you know, one of the things I like is that people read my books as a child, then they’ll come back as an adult and read them and still like them. Which I’m proud that they appreciate.
