‘A Soft Place to Land’ Author Susan Rebecca White Interviewed by Dr. Lanny Latham
April 22nd, 2010
Looking for a good read? I recommend a new novel written by a friend and former classmate Susan Rebecca White titled A Soft Place to Land.
Susan has a reading in New York at Border’s Bookstore on Wednesday, June 9th at 7pm – located at 461 Park Avenue.
If that’s not enough, Susan gets a ringing endorsement from non other than Dr. Lanny Latham. Just for fun, Dr. Lanny decided to have a have an exclusive interview with Susan:
——————————————————
Dr. Lanny: Susan Rebecca White! Hey! It’s me! Dr. Lanny Latham!! Remember me?! I changed your life!
Susan Rebecca White: Did you not get the notice from my lawyers?
Dr. Lanny: No, I never check my mail. I either immediately throw it away, or use it as toilet paper. But back to my point…I made you, Susan Rebecca White. I single-handedly made your book a bestseller. That’s how much power I hold. Oprah better watch her back.
SRW: Oh my God, are you talking about your “book club?” Dr. Lanny, if you are a doctor, you really sold me a bill of goods. I bragged to my agent that I had been chosen for a book club bigger than Oprah, and then she told me that she recognized your face…as the guy who was led out of her office in handcuffs after taking over her computer while she was at lunch.
Dr. Lanny: Oh whoops, that was your agent? My bad. I just don’t own a computer. So I have to log onto other people’s. I’m currently at some random office in Jersey City. Shhhhhh, don’t tell anyone. I think it’s an accounting firm.
SRW: Wait a second…my friend Kasey Foster said that someone logged into her work account while she was away and started sending out messages about the importance of kegels. That was you, wasn’t it?! I’m beginning to put this all together, “Dr.” Lanny. You’re stalking me, aren’t you? And that accounting firm in Jersey City—you’re talking about my uncle’s accounting firm aren’t you? Dr. Lanny, what part of “no” do you not understand? I’m not going to give you the million dollars you demanded for making Bound South an “international bestseller” (as your coffee-stained note claimed it was.)
Rob: C’mon! It was all my doing! That’s how Bound South became an international best seller. But I’ll let the million dollars slide for now. As long as you buy me a giant container of Crisco to use as hair gel, we’ll call it even. So congratuations! Your new novel A Soft Place to Land has been chosen as the 2nd book in the annual Get Psyched Book Club!
SRW: Oh my God.
Dr. Lanny: Yep! It’s true! You’re about to be in Dan Brown territory!
SRW: Okay look “Dr.” Lanny, lets make a deal. If I promise to send you a gallon of butter flavored Crisco, will you promise to stop harassing me for a million dollars and to leave my Jersey City uncle the hell alone?
Dr. Lanny: Sure, if you can make the Crisco “extra butter flavored”, we gotta deal.
SRW: Oh good God.
