Interview and Poetry Reading on Talk of the Town

These Onyx Hours by Heather Sullivan

I was recently featured on WADK 1540 AM radio’s Talk of the Town with Bruce Newbury! The interview went well and I also read a piece, “All the Difference,” from my collection These Onyx Hours.

To check it out, http://wadk.com/podcasts/bruce-newburys-talk-of-the-town and click on the Talk of the Town show link that reads 12-09-13 (the middle one) – my interview begins at about the 26 minute mark. If you can’t locate it there or it has dropped off their page (they only archive for a certain amount of time), you can download the segment here (forward to about the 26 minute mark): http://wp.me/aIXRs-1QN
