This week's guest may be a debut writer, but to my mind he's one of the best wordsmiths I've ever encountered

Since 1976, Steven M. Reilly has coached baseball in Connecticut's Lower Naugatuck Valley.

Please join Steve Reilly and host Paula B. as they explore:

Why readers should care about a fifteen-year-old high school baseball season

How Steve achieves sparkling description and lively characters

Why he likes the number three

How his commentary spices up the narrative

How he remembered so many minute details

What hyphenated words do for his style

How he achieves a cinematic effect.
