Glassy first mystery novel lights up St. Petersburg! INTERVIEW - a podcast by Bob Andelman

Today's Guest: Novelist Cheryl Hollon, author of Pane and Suffering: A Webb's Glass Shop Mystery and Shards of Murder.

CHERYL HOLLON podcast excerpt: "The glass shop in Pane and Suffering is a premise and it comes along with the genre. It's like the Cabot Cove Syndrome: Why would anyone live in Cabot Cove? Because she would write about you and your murder! But the Webb's Glass Shop gives me license to play. I can concentrate on a different type of glass in each book. The first book is about stained glass. The second is about fusing glass and about judging an art festival. And the third book is about recycling glass.”

Key interview moments:

• 5:45 Cheryl Hollon cites influences such as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Louise Penny;

• 13:30 Webb's Glass Shop is a vehicle for Hollon's storytelling the same way that Cabot Cove is for Jessica Fletcher in "Murder, She Wrote";

• 20:15 After years of writing, what pushed Hollon from unpublished amateur to published author?
