This podcast episode features Alvin Stenzel, the author of "The Crystal Pond: A Young Girl's Journey Through Imagination." In the episode, the host is likely to ask Alvin about why he wrote the book and what readers have had to say about it. Given that the manuscript has been read by many people from ages 8 to 80, the author may share insights into the themes and messages of the book, as well as what inspired him to write it. Additionally, the author may also discuss his background as both a Certified Public Accountant and a writer and how these two interests have influenced his work.

Alvin Stenzel is a five-year resident of The Villages in Florida and has been writing since he was a young boy in southeast Virginia. He is both a Certified Public Accountant and a writer, and his new novel "The Crystal Pond: A Young Girl's Journey Through Imagination" is a reflection of how his two interests complement each other. The book has received positive feedback from readers of all ages and has been read by many people, ranging from 8 to 80 years old.
