I had my first radio interview today at one of the local radio stations, CKWR – FM 98.5. I want to thank my host, John Maciel for inviting me to his show to talk about my recently published book, “The Alkahest.” Thanks to Harry Rauser as well for the programing.
We talked about my steps into a writing career, the books I’ve written and published, and touched on the future of my writing. If you’re interested, the interview will be available to hear on the “About Author” section under “Interviews.”
