    Kat and Koren,

    Thanks for making this interview available to us Spacers. Great, as Marion said, to hear the voice behind the blog.

    I like that it was a long interview, not just a sound bite.

    Thanks, Kat

    Koren, thanks for having Kathryn on your show. You did a supurb interview. It was nice to discover your show.

    Kathryn is a fantastic writer and I hope you get to read the book. You can scarcely put it down! There is a lot more to come from her.

    Kathryn, it was nice to hear your voice. Miss you.

    what a great interview the interviewer was able to bring out the natural intelligence of the author effortlessly and Ms Magendie’s exhortations to continue in the face of adversity, prejudice, and ageism is inspiring I have recently read Tender Graces and I’m sure with some more publicity like found on this wonderful station she would be on the bestseller list and a shoe in for Oprah’s book club the fact that Ms Magendie is not clearing a space on her mantle for her pulitzer is either an egregious error or a sad commentary FIGHT ON Ms Magendie fight on!

    kathryn magendie said on 14/09/09 @ 4:15pm

    Mom! Everyone – Ruth is my adoptive mother – she kept us kids together – let’s give it up for mother’s who adopt! *clap clap clap*

    Michael – I am touched and honored…..*smiling*
