As Promised...

... here's a link to my appearance on Good Morning America NOW. It was broadcast at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. today, and will live on at ABC's website.

I haven't watched it yet, and I don't think I will. (I really, really, really hate seeing myself on camera.) But trusted friends who have seen the clip say I did okay, and held the book for the camera and opened the various clues like a pro. Which is nice.

Did the Cloverfield joke make it? Just curious.

You did great, and you remembered to wear the blue shirt. I didn't see CLOVERFIELD, so I wouldn't have caught the joke if it got in. I'm looking forward to the Batman book, though.

Dude, You're, like, a star.

Jessica said...

Awesome.

And you in no way look like someone who had to get up before sunrise to make it to the studio. You look very much alive.

Dave White said...

Yeah, the Cloverfield reference made it...

Yeah, you don't look uncomfortable at all.

Duane - You came across well! You might've been speaking a little fast, but, that might've been due to time constraints. I wish I had known you were in town. I'd've made an effort to meet up with you.

Stuart MacBride said...

Very well done that man. And I have to say that the book looks really great as well.

Joe said...

Great job, man. You looked right at home in front of the camera. And you even used the word "pastiche" and pronounced it correctly and everything.

Congrats on another step in your master plan of dominating world media.

One question - do you own a razor? You do know that "five o'clock shadow" means 5PM, right?

Tiffany said...

Well done! Congrats!

Sidenote: my sister went to college with Gigi and I once went on a pseudo-date with her!

Great interview, Duane.

And yes, Cloverfield made it in.

PUNISHER MAX ANNUAL next month.

Can't wait. Imagine if you'd started talking about that midway.

Whoohoo! Great interview! Really sold the book, too, without coming across as a slick self-promoting nimbus. Can't wait to check it out. (I'll probably skip right to the back of the book, yanking up that red waxy blob to solve the mystery)!

Oh, and hey, have you been to Edinburgh to commune with the Official Statue of Sir Sherlock himself? Pretty cool. No doubt you MUST make a stop there on your book tour...
