About ten years ago Lynne Truss published a book called "Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation." The book was a smash hit, a best-seller, and ever since then I have wanted to interview her. I thought it would probably never happen. But I never gave up and suddenly I heard that she had a new book out and that she was actually on tour in the US. This was a rare opportunity because her books always come out in the United Kingdom but they don't always find US publishers. And she hardly ever tours the US. I could not pass this chance up.
In this interview you'll learn that she was just as surprised as I was that this particular book had found a publisher over here. "Cat Out of Hell" is a mystery. It has elements of the paranormal, i.e. diabolical cats, and it is absolutely delightful. And Lynne Truss is just as clever and witty and wonderful as I had imagined that she would be. Oh how we laughed! Enjoy.
