SEAN CULLEN at IFOA on kids, curiosity, writing, and Hamish X

www.bookshorts.com/blog ... I caught a television interview with Sean Cullen, the talented artist of comedy, television and stage. It must have been shot some years ago. In that interview he quietly aspired to realize his dream of becoming an author. With the success of Cullen's HAMISH X series of books for young readers, he has obviously reached his goal. Hamish X and the Hollow Mountain, the second work, was the focus of this IFOA Kids reading during the last International Festival of Authors. Sean's observation of the TV biz versus book-biz may even give you pause before your next boob-tube armchair tirade!
