Author JM Celi wrote the book he couldn't find on vampires when he was growing up (audio)
FM #1104 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1104 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with local author JM Celi. We had our conversation in the Franklin TV & Public Radio studio on Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
Our conversation lets you find out more about Jamie and his first independently published work “The Unlife of Lisa Cooper: Conviction.”
We find out about Kindle Vella, a Kindle product that delivers serialized written works. We talk about Jamie’s writing process from draft through multiple reviews and edits to publication.
We find out that “Conviction” is the first part of a planned trilogy.
The recording runs about 26 minutes so let’s listen to my author JM Celi.
