Mr. Media Interviews By Bob Andelman

Today's Guest: Novelist Cheryl Hollon, author of Pane and Suffering: A Webb's Glass Shop Mystery and Shards of Murder.   Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with Cheryl Hollon by clicking on the video player above!  Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of people who came to town for the beach and left with happy, full tummies and wild nightlife tales… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! First novels are hard. Writing them is a challenge, finding a publisher is a major mountain to climb, and promoting them may be the hardest task of all. But when my friend Howard Finberg told me that a friend of his was writing a mystery series set in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, I committed without even reading the first book. After all, Mr. Media has been describing St. Pete as “the NEW new media capitol of the world” since 2007 – whether the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce likes it or not – so how I could I not help out an up-and-coming writer?
