FM #1246 = This is the Franklin Matters radio show, number 1246 in the series.
This session of the radio show shares my recorded conversation with local author J.M. Celi. We had our conversation in the Franklin TV & Public Radio studio on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
Our conversation lets you find out more about Jamie and his second independently published work “The Vampires of 1863.”
This is a prequel to the work we had talked about in November 2023 “The Unlife of Lisa Cooper: Conviction.”
We talk about Jamie’s writing process from draft through multiple reviews and edits to publication, as well as the magic of writing when it can happen.
The recording runs about 37 minutes so let’s listen to my conversation with Jamie. Audio link -> https://franklin-ma-matters.captivate.fm/episode/fm-1246-author-j-m-celi-07-16-24/
