Check out my Author Interview on NFReads! (I am happy to do interviews.)

Found here. NFReads emailed me a couple of days ago to offer to do the online interview thing, and since I’m always happy to talk about myself, I agreed right away. It was fun, actually. The nice thing about being asking questions is that sometimes your answers surprise you, if only because you didn’t quite realize you had specific opinions on certain topics.

Anyway, check it out: https://www.nfreads.com/author-feature-moe-lane/

Two pieces of advice for post-surgery hypochondriacs .

Not that I’m suggesting that I am one, at all, at all.  Anyway: two suggestions (one serious, one not-so-serious).

  • (Serious): If you’re worried whether a particular incision and/or suture (that looks bloody awful, or at least it does to your untrained eye) is healing properly, or whether it’s getting worse, take a picture* of it and check it several hours later, or the next day.  That should let you tell ‘it’s getting worse’ from the ‘no, that was pretty much how it looked all along.’
  • (Not-so-serious): If you’re going to have surgery that results in bruising, try to get the phlebotomist to muck up your IV so that you’ll get a bruise on your arm, too.  That way, when you wake up to discover that the Bruise Fairy has come to your bedside in order to give you a present, you’ll have a handy (pardon the pun) baseline with which to compare the results – and not incidentally, keep you from panicking.

No, no thanks necessary for these helpful pro-tips.  I’m a giver.
