Tonight’s guest spent the early years of her writing career in the fields of journalism, freelance writing and adult literacy.

Since then the award-winning author has penned close to 20 novels and a number of short stories.
Tonight’s guest has spent his working life telling stories about people or helping people to tell their own story—whether that’s been as a journalist or a public relations/public affairs professional.

Now Barrie Doyle (http://www.barriedoyle.com/) is telling another story in his first novel The Excalibur Parchment which will be published this fall.
