An Interview with Novelist Paul Malmont
Paul Malmont's second novel,
Jack London in Paradise, has just been published by Simon & Schuster.
Set in Hollywood and Hawaii in 1915 and 1916, the final years of London's brief life, the novel
explores this energetic, enigmatic author in a cinematic age. Jonah Raskin's
review of the novel
in the San Fransicso Chronicle notes that it "...offers a satisfying literary detective story that gets
closer to the truth about the writer than any London biography."
We'll chat with Paul about his new novel as well as his first novel,
The Chinatown Death Cloud Peril: A Novel
(an homage to pulp thrillers),
Paul's own forays into cinema, and life in Brooklyn and Jersey.
This interview is scheduled to last one hour.

An Interview with Author Gary Moore
Gary Moore's book, Playing with the Enemy, tells
the tale of his father, Gene Moore, who as a boy of 15 living near the small town of Sesser in southern Illinois,
was drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers. The bombing of Pearl Harbor and America's entry into WW II changed those plans.
Gary played for the Navy baseball team in North Africa, then was reassigned to Lousiana to guard German captives
from a U-Boat. Gene and his teammates taught the German POW's to play baseball.
The book is being made into a major motion picture, with Gary's son starring as his grandfather.
This interview is scheduled to last one hour.
