Why did Poe write horror stories? Shakespeare wrote plays. Why? What was their motivation? Why did you read that particular book? Does a bear??? (no, no not that one) 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 different 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. STORY BEHIND THE STORY Stay tuned.....
