Middle Chamber Books Podcast #39: Collingswood Book Festival

The Middle Chamber Books and Music Podcast returns from a long hiatus. We're going to be producing the Middle Chamber Books podcast on a more regular schedule again, alternating with the Lubetkin on Communications podcast. We expect to broadcast weekly, making a new podcast available Monday mornings around 8am Eastern Time. Michele Zeldner, founder and key organizer of the Collingswood (NJ) Book Festival, in its 13th year. This is Middle Chamber Books episode #39, and includes some interviews conducted at the recent Collingswood, NJ Book Festival. It's the festival's 13th year, and we spoke with festival founder and organizer Michele Zeldner, and several of the authors who were exhibiting at the festival. In coming episodes, we hope to bring you exclusive interviews with some of the marquee authors who participated in the festival. Here is information about the authors we interviewed: Alice Mohor is the author of Special Days, a collection of poetry for holidays and other special days intended for young children and early childhood educators. Joe Samuel Starnes is the author of Red Dirt: A Tennis Novel. He says it took three tries to get a publisher for his novel. Daniel David Jones and his fishing buddies survived 18.5 hours in the Atlantic Ocean in just life jackets after their boat sank. His account of their rescue is the basis for his book, Promising Forecast: A Miracle Rescue at Sea.
