Award winning author Daco Auffenorde stopped by Authors on the Air to chat about her new highly-anticipated book, The Medici Curse. Ana de 'Medici inherits the family estate in Tuscany, a place fraught with unsettling tragedy and fragmented memories. Her last recollection of the place was on the night her mother died in a tragic accident. Or was it? Anna can't remember the night and many of the locals aren't pleased to see the return of the woman they suspect had a hand in her mother's demise. Her mother wore a priceless heirloom necklace, missing since that horrible night. Many believe it's cursed, dooming all those who dare wear the Medici Falchion. An atmospheric, gothic tale of a woman trying to find what the past holds, and she might not be prepared for what lurks in the present. Listen to Daco describe the underpinnings of The Medici Curse, the characters, and how the Tuscan countryside seems so vivid.

Miles is an awkward high school kid who doesn't fit in and spends most of his time as a junior private investigator, finding missing pets, or lost objects--until his brother's death. Miles discovers his brother had been working on a time travel device and might be able to use it to warn his brother of the dangers ahead. Shadowy corporations have other plans. Listen to Lee talk about where Miles came from, why he chose to write something other than his page turning thrillers, and find out about his new venture, Fringe Press.
