Welcome to Storytelling with Seth  This is Episode #72 The Road to Delano with John DeSimone  My conversation with John begins with his novel The Road to Delano.   Together we walked through California's history.   We started with Cesar Chavez and the rights of farm workers.  Next we discussed the moral premise that is the backdrop for this story of Adrian and Jack.   Our topics soon included John's writing process, an upcoming sequel, and my personal history with California's farm workers.   Midwest Book Reviews calls The Road to Delano  "the kind of narrative storytelling style that keeps the reader's total attention from cover to cover"  About My Guest:  John DeSimone is a published writer, novelist, and teacher.   He’s been an adjunct professor and holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Spalding University.  His recent co-authored books include Broken Circle: A Memoir of Escaping Afghanistan (Little A Publishers), and Courage to Say No by Dr. Raana Mahmood, about her struggles against sexual exploitation as a female physician in Karachi.   His novel Leonardo’s Chair was published in 2005. In 2012, he won a prestigious Norman Mailer Fellowship to complete his most recent historical novel, Road to Delano.   His novels Leonardo’s Chair and No Ordinary Man have received critical recognition.  He works with select clients to write stories of inspiration and determination and with those who have a vital message to bring to the marketplace of ideas in well-written books.  To Contact John Visit: JohnDeSimone.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jrdesimone  To Contact Seth Singleton  Email: Seth  On Social Media  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seththewriter/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/1MoreSingleton        Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SethSingletonStoryteller/        Website: https://sethsingletonstoryteller.com      #podernfamily #entertainment #covid #business #coronavirus #inspiration #newepisode #spotifypodcast #life #podcastlove #live #funny #follow #podcastinglife #podcastaddict #marketing #linkinbio  #stitcher #episode #listen #instagood #producer #youtuber #podstory #podbean #spotify  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/seth-the-storyteller/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/seth-the-storyteller/support
