Lesley Ewing kicks off the Shorewords! podcast with Dr. Gary B. Griggs, longtime Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz and author of a dozen books, over 100 articles, and several scientific reports.  Join us as Gary talks about how books changed his life, the coastal topics that have dominated his writing, his approach to writer’s block, and his favorite types of sand and beaches.  A great debut episode.  Welcome to ASPN, Lesley!
