NHPR Radio Host and Author to Give Presentation and Discussion

The author and radio host John Walters will host a discussion at the Village Book Store in Littleton on Wednesday, September 22nd from 4:30 pm to 6 pm. His talk will include readings from his new book, Roads Less Traveled: Visionary New England Lives, and some discussion of the people he has met during his radio and magazine work, as well his process for interviewing people. He will also talk about how attendees can look in their own lives for stories to tell: about themselves, family members, neighbors, or acquaintances.

Roads Less Traveled: Visionary New England Lives tells the life stories of some truly remarkable people - people whose lives are full of passion and purpose. They have devoted themselves to a career, an art form, an idea, or a cause. They have literally taken their own "road less traveled." Their stories testify to the breadth of human creativity, and the strength of the human spirit. I met these people through my work as a radio host and magazine writer. This book allows me to tell their stories in full, without the limitations of airtime or word counts.

John Walters is a writer, editor and voice artist from East Montpelier, VT. He was the creator and host of "The Front Porch" on New Hampshire Public Radio. He won the 2009 Donald M. Murray Journalism Award, given by the New Hampshire Writers Project. Roads Less Traveled is his first book. This event is free and registration is not required.
