What better way to celebrate the 50th episode of the podcast! Eric has been dreaming of this day since he was a kid: to finally have a conversation with AVI, author of SOMETHING UPSTAIRS, THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF CHARLOTTE DOYLE, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, ROMEO & JULIET TOGETHER (AND ALIVE) AT LAST, WINDCATCHER... and so many others. Avi is so prolific, he has upwards of 80 titles under his belt!  Whether you're a writer or a reader, or generally creative - Avi's life experiences and insights are valuable and timeless.
