Tandem With The Random podcast No. 3 (2/21/2011) features an interview with author Allen Schatz, who left behind a 25-year career in finance/accounting to pursue a career as an author. Allen has recently published his first novel, a baseball-centered mystery titled “Game 7: Dead Ball” — now available as an e-book at Smashwords.com.
