Revived and Resuscitated
I was supposed to have part two of Clay Morgan‘s interview ready for posting today, but it just didn’t happen. That’s what I get for ending part one with “tune in next week; same bat time, same bat channel.” Holy shucks, Batman!
But I do have something great for you!
In today’s video, Clay gives us an overview of the six individuals in the New Testament who were brought back from the dead. Going through them one by one, he shares what he was thinking about each of these cases as he wrote about them in his new book, Undead.

I don’t know about you, but I watch every single extra feature that’s offered on a dvd. And I listen to the commentary, too. That’s how this struck me, that it’s interesting to see a little of what the author was thinking and intending.

It’s a learning experience, an exercise in trust and communication, and screwing over your partner when the moment is right.

The Undead Interview, Part One (with Clay Morgan)
So, on Monday I shared a little pop culture quiz that I did with Clay Morgan. Today I have something bigger to pass along. Literally and figuratively.
Clay was gracious enough to answer a lot of questions, talking to me about himself and his book Undead as I stumbled my way through my first interview ever. (My plan was to ask more questions than I needed and then edit down, but I can’t bring myself to cut anything.) Thank you so much, Mr. Clay Morgan, for indulging me, for being patient, and for being such an interesting person to interview!
Here is part one of the interview; I hope the rest of you enjoy it as much as I did.

I thought about posting the second half tomorrow, but I don’t like to wait – so I won’t.

Tune in next week for part two, where we dig into Clay’s awesome new book, Undead!
Just as an aside…
As I’ve been editing these pieces, a lot of things kept running through my mind:
- I totally feel like Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove, “Is that my voice? Is that MY voice?”
- Is Clay a mind-reader? He keeps answering my next question before I ask my next question.
- I really want to put up the Clay and Michelle icons so they can have some fake conversations, basically to let out the running commentary in my head about how awkward I am.
- Yeah, so I use about 10 words where 3 would do just fine.
What’s running through my mind right now is, “Only one of those things is about Clay and the actual interview; you’re, like, completely self-centered.” The worst part is that the little Michelle icon is saying it. *sigh* I’m thinking there’s something really not right about that.
Anyway…
