Novelist Michael Mihaley and I sat down at Tommy's Place in Port Jefferson to discuss his debut novel "The Underdog Parade." We talked about the book, the inspiration for his characters, and how it was originally a short story.
We also talked about teaching (he and I both teach ELA), bullying, the perils of adolescence and the "try-anything" approach to book promotion.
You can purchase The Underdog Parade here.
Check him out on Facebook and Instagram.
