Book reviews, author interviews, and writing tips are central to our podcast. And stories. Every author has a story to tell. What was their motivation? What is their story behind their story? Each week I conjure up a podcast to spark your interest and satisfy that eternal question: WHY? Occasionally, I’ll examine unique books, sometimes my own, or someone else’s; possibly do an interview with a writer or an author. I may present a book review or even suggest some current writing tips. Remember, everyone has a story to tell. THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY Stay tuned.....
