The Birmingham News published an interview with Robert McCammon today to promote his booksigning at the Alabama Booksmith (Birmingham, AL) tomorrow (Wednesday, May 30, 2012) at 4 PM.
Birmingham author Robert McCammon continues Matthew Corbett series with “The Providence Rider”
On April 22, 2012, Robert McCammon was a guest speaker of the Huntsville Literary Association. He spoke at the Huntsville-Madison County Library in Huntsville, AL, and read the first chapter of the fifth Matthew Corbett novel, The River of Souls, which he had just started writing.
Video of the presentation can be found on YouTube. The reading from The River of Souls begins at about 13:35. The sound quality isn’t quite as good as the video quality (which is better than the thumbnail below suggests!), but it’s not too bad. Enjoy!
From author Kealan Patrick Burke:

May is National Short Story Month! Did you know that there are more than a dozen Robert McCammon short stories that you can read for free right here on this site? Check out the Robert McCammon Fiction page for links to such great stories as “Night Calls the Green Falcon,” “Nightcrawlers,” the award-winning “The Deep End,” and many more. Most of the stories are uncollected, which means they appeared in various anthologies and haven’t been reprinted in Blue World.

A few vintage editions have also been added to the Book Cover Gallery, along with the cover of the ARC for the upcoming Bradbury tribute Shadow Show; it’ll be out in July 2012.
