In Episode 35, Gail talks with Emmy-award-nominated and Academy-award-nominated writer Joe Stillman. Joe is an American television and movie writer, producer and director whose past work includes Shrek, Shrek 2, and King of the Hill. Joe is now also writing for print, and his new novel, The Man Who Came and Went, is the story of a mysterious stranger who arrives to work at a diner, ready to read the minds of the customers and the hearts of the owner and her daughter.
We talk about writing for TV and movies vs. writing a novel; finding the confidence necessary to approach the blank page; and the serendipity that often underpins a career.
The Man Who Came and Went launches in March 2022 and is available at Amazon and other bookstores.

In this episode, we meet David Fishof, the mind behind Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, where musicians spend four days or so, learning songs, playing in a band, and jamming with rock stars like Roger Daltrey, Gene Simmons, Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, Nancy Wilson, and Paul Stanley. Last year, there was a movie made about the experience, and you can see Rock Camp The Movie on Prime Video. There's more information about the camps at www.rockcamp.com.
In this conversation, I ask about the beginning of the rock camp idea, twenty-five years ago. We talk about inviting and training rock stars to be teachers, about David's wish list of future 'camp counsellors' -- Paul McCartney is at the top of it -- and about memorable experiences in his life, including discovering Julia Cameron's book "The Artist's Way".
