Mixing Day-job and Vocation

Had a very nice conversation on the phone today with Anne Chudobiak, a writer in Montreal. Anne writes for Via Rail's onboard magazine, Destinations, and wanted to interview me for a piece in the magazine's literary issue, which is apparently due out in September. She figured a writer who works on the rails would make for an interesting story. I hope it does! If the piece does indeed come out in September, I'll still be working on the train, so no doubt it will be of interest to the passengers I'm serving. Too bad I'm not allowed to sell my books on the train... It'll be weird to have these two major aspects of my life, which I tend to keep separate, intersect this way.
