Springfield, MO, January 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Chris Meadows will be interviewing Hugo Award-winning author Peter S. Beagle, along with Connor Cochran from his publisher, Conlan Press, on his live talk show podcast The Biblio File.

The interview questions will cover Beagle's career, including the publication of his first novel at age 19, The Lord of the Rings and The Last Unicorn animated movies, Beagle's script, "Sarek," for Star Trek: The Next Generation, and more. Connor Cochran will also be on hand to answer questions related to publishing Beagle's recent works, including the audiobook of The Last Unicorn, the Hugo-winning novelette "Two Hearts," and other forthcoming books.
