Author Archer Mayor marks 30 years, and 30 Joe Gunther novels, with the September release of "Bomber's Moon."

Mayor's novels are packed with details he's seen firsthand over decades working with the Windham County Sheriff's Department, as a death investigator for the state and as a firefighter and EMT. He'll discuss that career, as well as the global travels and panoply of jobs he held before settling in Vermont, his home now for more than 30 years.
