Courier Post Interview With Dave Hart and John Calu

The interview with the Courier Post is now online!  Carol Comegno took the time to interview John and Dave during the book launch at the PPA in September. Carol asked the authors what inspired them to write the book and why they chose South Jersey its lore as the back drop for the book.

Hart said there is nothing like South Jersey. “It has its own natural resources and there are no other spots like the Pinelands and Jersey Shore in the world,” he said.

You can read the entire interview by visiting the Courier Post website.

Dave and John had a great  time signing copies of Adventures Along the Jersey Shore for our book launch party at the Pinelands Preservation Alliance on Sunday.  We were lucky enough to have warm weather,  and the attendance was very good.
