ALAN BARILLARO + CLARE POOLEY

House of Crouse

On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet animator and author Alan Barillaro. He’s an Academy Award winner for his work at Pixar and is now an author with the release of a middle-grade novel called “Where The Water Takes Us” is available now wherever fine books are sold. It is a stirring story about a sensitive, shaken young girl who must face that growing up means coming to terms with the things you cannot change--and taking responsibility for the things you can. We’ll also get to know Clare Pooley, the Cambridge educated author of "Iona Iverson’s Rules For Commuting." After working in advertising for twenty years it dawned on her that her daily ‘wine o’clock’ habit was out of control. She wrote the popular "Mummy was a Secret Drinker" blog and a memoir, "The Sober Diaries," published in 2017 to critical acclaim. Her latest novel, "Iona Iverson’s Rules For Commuting," is an entertaining book about unexpected friendships and the joy of connecting.
