Dec. 27, 2025. A conversation with novelist Len Camarda about what it takes to put out a successful book!

Tom Drake, “The Guru of Seas,” sits down with author Len Camarda to explore what it really takes to write a book. After retiring from a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry—and after completing several short stories—Len decided to take on his next big challenge: writing a novel.

What began as a single goal quickly turned into a remarkable achievement. Len didn’t just complete one novel—he finished three, with more possibly on the way.

This podcast is an honest, insightful conversation between someone who has always wanted to write a novel and someone who actually did it—three times. If you’ve ever dreamed of writing a book but struggled to find the motivation or confidence to start, this episode is for you.

A new episode drops every Saturday — because even the Guru can learn a thing or two.
