Rhode Island Author Expo, Part 2

In the second episode of my interviews with some of the many authors who attended the ninth annual Rhode Island Author Expo, I'm talking with Michelle Fishpaw for her debut novel, “Claire's Voice,” which chronicles her family's quest after their daughter is shaken by a babysitter. We talk about how she shared such a personal story and the process of writing her first book.

Next up, I welcome back Keith Carreiro for his nine-part fantasy series, divided into three three-part sections. He's currently in the process of writing the second part and walks us through the story so far and what people can expect.

Herb Weiss was on the show a few years ago for his book, “Taking Charge,” a collection of columns he's written on issues facing senior citizens. For this interview, he's back with a second collection, and we talk about the issues facing seniors today.

J.J. Partridge is a new face for the show, and he's got a lengthy series of mystery books featuring his character Algy Temple. J.J. and I talk about Algy and how they came to be, as well as the different stories he's written.
