Capital Conversations

I had a great time yesterday doing the radio spot for WCBM. John and Sharon Tegler were lovely hosts. The weather cooperated; sunshine poured through the windows and glistened on the bay. It was toasty sitting in the booth at the Hard Bean with my cup of chai and enjoying the smell of coffee and pastry wafting around us. The conversation was lively and touched on some important issues. We talked about medicine, social reform, self-reliance and of course, "Heaven Below." I talked about my training in West Virginia and my book in the works, "Don't Move Lily." I also discussed my passion, my crusade against obesity in America and that one of the best first steps is to "drop the pop." The "Fizz Factor" is in its rough draft stage and I plan on polishing it up this spring. John Tegler is a media veteran as well as a military veteran. He is comfortable discussing just about anything and his blue eyes twinkle when he discusses topics about which he is most passionate. He uses strong words in expressing his opinions, which are equally as strong. He is a patriot and a believer in the first amendment. For without freedom of speech is anyone really free? Thanks again to John and Sharon for their time, their graciousness and an opportunity to talk about my work. The program airs this Saturday, 7:00 Pm, Capital Conversations on AM 680 WCBM.

Radio Interview on WCBM

I will make my first radio appearance for "Heaven Below." John Tegler of WCBM will interview me about my job in the ER, modern medical concerns and my second career as a writer. The interview will take place tomorrow, February 1st at the Hard Bean Coffee and Booksellers at the Annapolis city dock. Hopefully this will be the first of several radio and TV appearances. Wish me luck!
