Carmichael also produces and hosts RISING STARS in the SUNSHINE CITY, interviewing Council of Neighborhood Association President, Aron Bryce, and others.
AUTHORS & WRITERS In April, RadioStPete.com joined the city in celebrating writers and poets. RadioStPete.com aired interviews with: Kerry Kriseman author of ‘Accidental First Lady On the Front Lines (and Behind the Scenes) of Local Politics’, a charming memoir about her public service life as the wife of St. Pete’s former mayor. After working in local non-profits (Creative Clay, Southeastern Guide Dogs), she is now teaching and coaching memoir writing; Paul Wilborn – The Executive Director of The Palladium – sings, writes, and acts in his spare time. With two books out, Florida Hustle and Cigar City, he’s at work on a third. This spring, Cigar City will be republished on its 5th anniversary with many scheduled appearances starting at Bookends in Ybor City; L.L. Kirchner, author and storytelling coach, debuts ‘Florida Girls’, a Novel out May 28. “It’s the story of how a team of touring swimsuit models take over the Tampa mafia, and it’s set largely in St. Pete,” says Kirchner; Romance and mystery author, Tara Lush’s new book ‘Gator Queen’ is a romp in the swamp by the journalist who is a RWA Rita finalist, an Amtrak writing fellow, and the winner of the George C. Polk award for environmental journalism.
