Murder in the Lab: Inside The Botanist's Assistant With Peggy Townsend In this episode, I'm joined by award-winning author and journalist Peggy Townsend to talk about her sharp, heartfelt, and wonderful new mystery, The Botanist's Assistant. In The Botanist's Assistant, we meet Margaret Finch—six feet tall, fiercely organized, lover of schedules, and proud inhabitant of a tiny cabin in the woods. Her obsessive attention to detail makes her indispensable in her university botany lab… and it may also put a target on her back when she decides a recent death is no accident.

“When morality blurs and motives twist, Jeff Circle's Myopic Duplicity dares you to decide which lie you'd tell to save the truth.” Jeff Circle isn't your typical anthology editor. With a background spanning military intelligence, law-enforcement investigations, and global operations, he brings a unique edge to storytelling. As the creator of The Writer's Dossier and curator of razor-sharp suspense, Circle's latest work, Myopic Duplicity, invites readers into the dark grey zones of morality: when desperation, loyalty and ambition collide, what are you willing to do? This collection uncompromisingly asks: Do the ends ever justify the means? Featuring chilling short stories that expose how even the most righteous intentions can twist into betrayal, survival, and deceit, Myopic Duplicity holds up a mirror to our own choices—and the price we're prepared to pay. For fans of high-stakes crime, psychological thrillers, and ethical puzzles, it's a must-read. #florenzalee #OntheAirwithFlorenza #MyopicDuplicity #JeffCircle #CrimeFiction #ThrillerReads #ShortStoryAnthology #MoralAmbiguity #SuspenseLovers #AmReading #BookLaunch #EditorReads

From hair-dos to hair-don'ts — this killer curls into chaos. During this episode of On the Air with Florenza, I'm joined by the phenomenally talented author St. Sukie De la Croix to discuss his newest book, The Hunt for the Hairdo Killer. Enter the wild, high-camp world of Palm Springs, where curly-top conspiracies meet slapstick sleuthing in Twilight Manors in Palm Springs: The Hunt for the Hairdo Killer. When retired-detective duo Brian & Stéphane stumble upon a madman wiring women's curlers with lethal surprises, the stakes go higher than a bouffant. Mobsters, poodles, a grieving cat named Fish Paste, trigger-happy gardeners filming Godzilla vs. Frida Kahlo, giraffes, and even a wardrobe-malfunctioning waitress licked by the “Forever Marilyn” statue—everything's off the hook and off the rails. If you thought tradition was tame, this book proves you've never witnessed a bad perm gone full thriller. Written by archival legend St. Sukie De la Croix—historian, raconteur, and the gay Studs Terkel of the Midwest—this is satire, absurdity, and mystery dressed in drag and ready to party. #OntheAirwithFlorenza #FlorenzaDeniseLee #FlorenzaLee #AuthorsOnTheAir #HairdoKiller #StSukieDeLaCroix #TwilightManors #CampyMystery #LGBTQReads #PalmSpringsMayhem
“Boy wonder by day. Boy toy by night.” In this candid conversation, host Ian Henzel talks with Jobert Abueva Reed about Boy Wander—a memoir that moves from Manila to Kathmandu, Bangkok, and Tokyo, then across the U.S., tracing a brilliant student leader's secret life in 1970s Japan. As a child TV personality and top performer at an all-boys Catholic international school, Jobert seemed destined for greatness. After class, he lived another reality—turning tricks with foreign guests at Tokyo's Imperial Hotel—while trying to reconcile family expectations, faith, and the truth of who he was. They discuss how a pre-AIDS coming-of-age shaped the book's urgent honesty, why Tokyo felt uniquely safe, and how an episodic writing process became a propulsive narrative. The episode is equal parts craft talk and cultural history—about surviving, remembering, and finally being seen. What we cover The “golden boy” mask: student council, debate, track, theater—and the secret after dark Tokyo as a safe(-r) haven for queer exploration in the 1970s Pre-AIDS context and how it frames risk, shame, and liberation Turning raw episodes into memoir: structure, voice, and truth-telling Reconciling family values, Catholic schooling, and personal identity Migration, transience, and finding home across continents Why diverse LGBTQ voices matter to younger readers now Get the Book:

This week on Crime Wave: MYOPIC DUPLICITY, edited by Jeff Circle, gathers a sharp and unsettling range of short fiction that probes the quiet tension between what we want and what we're willing to do to get it. These stories don't offer easy answers—they linger in the gray zones, where motives twist and outcomes rarely absolve. Featuring emerging and established voices that are by turns lyrical, chilling, and sly, the collection circles one haunting question: Do the ends ever justify the means? Or do they just change the story we tell ourselves?
