RADIO INTERVIEW WITH AWARD-WINNING COLORADO AUTHOR
Ravay Snow-Renner, Littleton, Colorado-based author and artist, hits the radio via the Internet next week on the DIYAuthor show. The interview, conducted by Jana Oliver of the Leisure Talk Radio Network, talks about Ravay’s award-winning picture book, “Hildegarde and the Great Green Shirt Factory," the publishing process and how she and her brother, a Hollywood animator, started their publishing company, Snowbound Press.

The interview airs at 12:30, 4:30 and 8:30 AM and PM (MDT) on Monday, June 7, Wednesday, June 9, and Friday, June 11. Shows repeat at random on Sunday, June 13. Listeners can access the show by:

"Hildegarde and the Great Green Shirt Factory" spins the tale of a sheep whose creativity is frustrated in her job at a factory where every green shirt is supposed to be identical to every other green shirt. Reviewers have called the title “mind-bending,” “amazing,” “wacky,” and “subversive.” To date, the book has also won or been named as a finalist in three awards, including a Benjamin Franklin Award for Best First Children’s Book. It is available at bookstores everywhere through Quality Books, Inc. and Baker and Taylor and to the public directly at www.snowboundpress.com and amazon.com.
