"A Cold, Hard Prayer" is the latest book from local author John Smolens. He stopped by our studios to speak with Hans Ahlstrom about it ahead of his reading & book signing at the Peter White Public Library.

(Please note: due to technical difficulties, the audio quality is poor. We apologize for the inconvenience.)

Smolens will be holding the reading and book signing on Wednesday, October 4th, at 7pm in the Shiras Room of the Peter White Public Library. The library is also live-streaming the event on their Youtube channel.
