    IT ALL STARTED AT THE PEACE CORPS - RANDY HOBLER

    IT ALL STARTED AT THE PEACE CORPS - RANDY HOBLER

    This provides you with a query to be interviewed as an author on your radio/podcast show.


    I have released a much-acclaimed book (please see attached sample of reviews), entitled


    101 Arabian Tales: How We All Persevered in Peace Corps Libya (Amazon). It has also


    garnered 95% 5-star reviews on Amazon and GoodReads.


     


    I am at pains to also point out that this book is 100 times more powerful than the 1,000+


    individual Peace Corps memoirs out there, as mine is a collective memoir, in which I


    interviews 101 of my fellow Libya Peace Corps volunteers in depth, embroidering their


    wonderful stories into the tapestry of the larger Libyan narrative.
