Southern Utah Journalist Ed Kociela's eBook Plygs Now Available

Kerry Bringhurst's extended interview with Ed Kociela about his new book, plygs, a fact-based novel based on his 17-year career as a Southern Utah journalist.

 

A Loss of Innocence

"Warren Jeffs is serving a life plus 20 year sentence because he was married to a 12-year-old and a 15-year-old. These are things that tug at your heart...The women's rights angle is a huge part of this issue. We should encourage women to realize their full potential. That does not take place in this culture."

Purging Through Writing

"The writing process for this book was rather cathartic. It helped to diminish some of the demons but it also created some new ones. You can't help have these emotions come forward."

plygs is available as an ebook from Amazon.com.

At 14-years-old, Kerry began working as a reporter for KVEL “The Hot One” in Vernal, Utah. Her radio news interests led her to Logan where she became news director for KBLQ while attending Utah State University. She graduated USU with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and spent the next few years working for Utah Public Radio. Leaving UPR in 1993 she spent the next 14 years as the full time mother of four boys before returning in 2007. Kerry and her husband Boyd reside in Nibley.
