Listen here to my second guest spot the Catunquit Chronicles Podcast with hosts James Allen and Ashland Comorack. Had a great time and had a chance to read a couple of my short stories, also to hear one of Mr. Allen's.
"In the frothy days of hit parades and top forty stations that could in the space of thirty minutes serve up pop songs from Eydie Gorme’ to Frank Sinatra, jazz from Cannonball Adderley to Ramsey Lewis, garage rock from ?

Listen here to Gallant Gulls, Episode 55 of Catunquit Chronicles, for which your intrepid scribe was invited by hosts James Allan and Ashland Comorack to drop by for a chat and to read some of my short stories for their podcast. I am very thankful for the chance since it was a joy to talk about writing with people who appreciate it and do a fair amount of it themselves.
