Podcasts about about the book

KNOW GOOD MUSIC Interviews LAURIE KAYE Laurie wrote a great book called "CONFESSIONS OF A ROCK N' ROLL NAME DROPPER : My life leading up to John Lennon's Last Interview. We talk to Laurie about her career in radio with the RKO NETWORK (KFRC) in the 7o's and some of the people she interviewed like David Bowie, Mick Jagger, George Harrison and of course, John Lennon who she interviewed on Dec 8th, 1980 at the Dakota hours before he was murdered. Her book is a great look into the 70s and how she got to experience some great concerts and encounters with Rock Legends first hand. Matt and Rob read the book and loved it!  Loved how Laurie incorperated the dialogue from her interviews into the book (the audio version has excerpts from the actual interviews) ***** ABOUT THE BOOK and LAURIE  Rock reporter Laurie Kaye interviewed John Lennon just hours before he was murdered in 1980 outside New York's famous Dakota apartments and even ran into his assassin (whom she refuses to cite by name) on the street outside, and here she recounts the story of that fateful night, the centerpiece of this memoir about the life of a SoCal girl with a troubled childhood who got to live out her dream by interviewing many of the most famous rock stars of the time. Name dropping? Well, they say it ain't bragging if you really did it and Laurie Kaye has really done it. These stories about so many culturally important people are exciting and illuminating. I read this book with pleasure and amazement. I know that you will dig it, too! On December 8, 1980, twenty-something rock journalist Laurie Kaye entered the legendary Dakota apartments on Manhattan's Upper West Side to co-conduct an interview with her longtime idol, John Lennon. It was the last interview Lennon would ever give—just hours later, outside that same building, Lennon was shot dead by a twenty-five-year-old man (whom Kaye refuses to refer to by name) whom Kaye herself had encountered after finishing the interview and stepping outside onto the street. Kaye has beaten herself up ever since over her failure to recognize that the assassin—who blocked her path and harassed her with questions like “Did you talk to him?” “Did you get his autograph?”—posed a danger and should have been reported. Now, as we approach the forty-fifth anniversary of Lennon's death, Kaye reflects how she rose from teen runaway from a dysfunctional family to expatriate studying Balinese dancing in Indonesia to journalist, writer, and producer with credits including RKO Presents The Beatles/The Beatles from Liverpool to Legend (at the tender age of twenty-one) and the Lord of the Rings DVD release, plus interviews with such titans of the music industry as Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Talking Heads, The Ramones, David Bowie, and Mick Jagger, whom she put on hold so that he could listen to her newscast before getting down to business. But it was the day she shared a loveseat with John Lennon and watched him push his iconic granny glasses down the length of his nose and smile at her in agreement that remains indelibly etched in her mind—both the best and worst day of her life. Laurie Kaye began her career in radio at KFRC-AM San Francisco, for years one of the nation's greatest top 40 stations, where she started as an intern and worked her way up to on-air reporter and anchor. She wrote and coproduced numerous radio rock specials for RKO, including RKO Presents the Beatles (later expanded and retitled as The Beatles from Liverpool to Legend), and The Top 100 of the 70's before moving on to write Dick Clark's weekly radio countdown show and syndicated newspaper column. Kaye then moved on to television and film as a writer, producer, and casting director.   This book won a Writer's Digest Award the year it was released - 4th place in the Memoir/Personal Essay category of their annual writing competition! ************ VISIT LAURIE'S WEBSITE to find out her upcoming appearances and links to purchase and listen to the book (audio includes experts from her interviews). www.confessionsofarocknrollnamedropper.com ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found almost anywhere you listen to podcasts including Podbean (host site), Spotify , Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and YOUTUBE Links to more sources at Link Tree - www.linktr.ee/knowgoodmusic  Help support our Podcast by purchasing some cool merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/knowgoodmusic Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see video segments from all of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".

About The Book: https://a.co/d/2K5KIe2 Rev. Michael Carter often reminds his congregation that we are human beings, not human doings. It is who we are in life, not what we accomplish, that defines us and gives us value—while also shaping our values. That belief in ourselves, and in the locus of something divine in all of us as human beings, echoes Dr. Felix Adler, founder of the Society for Ethical Culture in NY, who wrote that “the animating vitality” of every person can reach its highest level when these principles are most potent: 1) respect for all people; 2) kindness; 3) fairness; 4) honesty; 5) forgiveness. Thus, as human beings, we find our own “supreme being” within ourselves and reach our own supreme (state of) being. For “supreme being” is not a noun, but a verb.

Do you feel confident enough to speak up when it matters? In this Live Greatly podcast episode, Kristel Bauer sits down with Elaine Lin Hering, the Author of 'Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully".  Kristel and Elaine discuss how to find your voice in your personal and professional life, what prevents us from speaking up and steps you can take to unlearn silence today.  Tune in now!  Key Takeaways From This Episode How to find your voice  A look into Elaine's book 'Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully' How to handle uncomfortable feelings that surface when you want to speak your mind Inspiration to show up authentically as you  ABOUT ELAINE LIN HERING: Elaine Lin Hering is a facilitator, speaker, and writer. She works with organizations and individuals to build skills in communication, collaboration, and conflict management. In her career, Elaine has worked on six continents and with a wide range of corporate, government, and nonprofit clients. She has trained mental health professionals, political officials, religious communities, and leaders at companies including American Express, Capital One, Google, Nike, Novartis, Shell, Pixar, and the Red Cross. Elaine is a former Managing Partner of Triad Consulting Group and Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School, specializing in dispute resolution, mediation, and negotiation. ABOUT THE BOOK, UNLEARNING SILENCE: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully (Penguin Life; March 19, 2024): Each of us has a unique gift to offer our community: our voice. But despite our distinct and valuable perspectives, many of us choose to stay silent. Family norms, workplace hierarchies, and biased cultures can make us think twice about expressing ourselves, sharing new ideas, and even speaking out when we know something is wrong. In UNLEARNING SILENCE: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully (Penguin Life; March 19, 2024), speaker and facilitator Elaine Lin Hering takes our culture of silence to task. This paradigm-shifting book explores how we've learned to be silent, how we've benefited from silence, how we've silenced other people, and how we might choose another way. Throughout life, we're often encouraged to just speak up! But it's never that easy. Race, gender, sexuality, identity, and power are instrumental factors that decide who feels comfortable sharing their thoughts— and as many of us know, having a seat at the table doesn't mean that your voice is actually welcome. Why speak up if you know that it won't be received well, and in fact, often makes things worse? Elaine Lin Hering has worked with mental health professionals, political officials, religious communities, and leaders at companies including American Express, Google, Nike, Pixar, and the Red Cross to build skills in communication, collaboration, and conflict management. In her work, she's seen the pervasive influence of silence in many forms. Hering has developed strategies to recognize and unlearn unconscious patterns so we can make intentional choices about how we want to show up at home and at work. Her empowering, compassionate, and practical approach acknowledges that we've all been both silenced and silencers.

Interview With Jennifer ManocherianA Resonant Tale Of Love, Loss, And Learning How To Let Go#AlphaBette #Author #JenniferManocherianHi, and welcome to the show!On today's show I have the pleasure of welcoming producer and author Jennifer Manocherian to talk about her novel ‘Alpha Bette'.

She has over thirty five credits, including several that won Tony and Drama Desk Awards.Further, Jennifer has co-created and produced a dance musical, In Your Arms, that played at The Old Globe Theatre in San Diego and wrote a book of a few musicals, two of which she produced for online streaming Marry Harry. She also wrote and produced the film “Family Blues” that played on TV worldwide which is currently streaming online. Additionally, Jennifer has also written and produced a film called “Boundary Waters”, which is based on a book she optioned titled ‘Closed Doors' by Lisa O'Donnell, and directed by Tessa Blake.Not only is this an incredibly insightful interview, it provides a glimpse into Jennifer's illustrious entertainment career and life as an established author with her latest book ‘Alpha Bette'.About The Book...Bette Gartner, a ninety-five-year-old widow, wakes up one morning and decides to give a dinner party that night for her small family, staff, two neighbors, and a medium—and no one knows why.The story takes place over the course of the day and is told through the multiple points of view of Bette's guests, switching back and forth between them as we learn about their motivations, dreams, hopes, and fears. These various storylines converge at the dinner table, where the coming together of different personalities, each with their own tensions and pain points, erupts into epiphanies, resolutions, and new beginnings before the final act of the evening Bette has planned.Alpha Bette is more than the story of a particular family's history. Aside from recounting how the characters navigate the daily mundanities of urban life, it also dwells on their larger existential anxieties and the impact of the holes and absences that deceased and displaced loved ones leave behind.To learn more about the author or to get your copy of this acclaimed book, click the link below.Disclosure of Material Connection: This is a “sponsored post.” My Future Business is disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

Wednesday night live The Outer Realm welcomes for the first time, special guest Ryan Pitterson Discussion:  His book " Judgement of the Nephilim" Seg. 380 Part 1, Open Mic on The Nephilim and more! Part 2- We are joined by Ryan Pittman    About The Guest: Ryan Pitterson is a Biblical researcher and writer with an emphasis in ancient Hebrew thought and theology. He received his B.A. from the University of Rochester and his JD from Columbia University Law School. He is the author of the Amazon #1 Bestseller Judgment of The Nephilim, a comprehensive Biblical study of Genesis 6, the Nephilim giants and the fallen angels in the Days of Noah. His newest book, The Final Nephilim goes from Genesis to Revelation, providing a study on end times prophecy and the rise of the prophesied "seed of the serpent" - the Antichrist. About The Book: 6,000 years ago a war began. A war to rule Heaven and Earth that dates all the way back to the Garden of Eden. In the Garden, God told Satan that one day a woman would give birth to a male child – the Messiah, who would redeem humanity and destroy him. In order to prevent this child's birth, Satan instigated a fallen angelic rebellion. A group of angels broke off their allegiance to the Lord and entered the earthly realm to corrupt the human gene pool and prevent the Savior's birth. These fallen angels (“sons of God”) took human wives (“daughters of men”) and had children with them. Their offspring – hybrid half-human, half-angelic beings, were superhuman giants known as the Nephilim. With human DNA corrupted and humanity hanging in the balance, The Lord unleashed a punishment against the Nephilim so severe, only Noah and his family would survive.   Credits and Social Media Official Website   https://judgmentofthenephilim.com/  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/JudgmentOfTheNephilim/

An ex city-lawyer whose first qualification was as a tennis coach, and whose first love has always been sport, Catherine has spent the second half of her career combining her twin passions of sport and leadership through her business, Sport and Beyond Ltd.  Catherine brings a unique perspective to the mindset and approaches that deliver exceptional and sustained performance. She has had the privilege of working with many of our elite athletes and coaches, as well as a large number of the leading CEOs in the sports sector and elsewhere. She maintains strong links to the legal sector both through coaching senior lawyers, and through her role as Chair of O Shaped, an organisation aimed at making the legal profession better. Catherine is also a Trustee on the Board of the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust. About The Book:  Staying the Distance showcases the much-needed leadership lessons that sport can teach us: how to improve, perform and achieve, in ways that are effective and sustainable. Leadership can be hard. It can certainly be relentless. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on the well-being, health and sustained performance of many senior leaders, and yet strong leadership remains central to the performance of every single organization. Business leaders are very familiar with drawing lessons from elite sport, particularly around teams, leadership and high performance. But we have all been missing a trick. Day in, day out, sport has been showing us not only how to improve, perform and achieve, but how to do so on a sustained basis, consistently delivering results when it matters. This book shines a light on these unseen lessons, and provides a clear and practical roadmap for how to deploy them in the reader's own leadership practices. With Catherine Baker's unique view into world-class sport and top-level business, and with insights from top performers in both worlds, this book provides a fresh and dynamic take on how - consistently and over the long term - to bring out the best in yourself, and in those you lead.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss out.  You can support the Tough Girl mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media - especially in relation to adventure and physical challenge by signing up as a patron. www.patreon.com/toughgirlpodcast.

Tonight live, The Outer Realm welcomes Charles Lear. Charles will be discussing his new book "Flying Saucer Investigators" ABOUT THE BOOK: "The Flying Saucer Investigators" is a book of history. It's about the people involved in the mystery of the flying saucers, mostly the investigators, but also the witnesses, some of whom were profoundly affected. The period covered is what has been called "The Golden Age of Flying Saucers," which begins in 1947, after the sighting that year by businessman pilot Kenneth Arnold, and ends in 1969, with the termination of the U.S. Air Force's investigation, which existed for most of its duration as "Project Blue Book."The investigators ranged from kids with saucer clubs to serious-minded individuals with connections in government. There were military personnel assigned to take flying saucer reports and follow up on them, and the U.S. Congress was moved to hear arguments for a federally funded study of flying saucers on two occasions. The history of this "Golden Age" is presented using newsletters, magazines, case files, official documents, newspaper articles, film footage, and archived recordings from television and radio. Some of the cases the investigators looked into are presented using nothing but the facts as they were recorded, without speculation or sensationalism, and even the die-hard skeptic may be left wondering by many of them. The Author: Charles Lear has many interests, of which UFOs take up more than a little of his time. His main interests in the UFO subject are in the documented history the phenomenon has spawned and the people who investigate it, as this book reflects. Charles' other interests are geology and paleontology and his familiarity with science and its disciplines informs his approach to the UFO subject. Having lived most of his life in New York City, where he made his living as a union stagehand and was involved in other aspects of theatre as a playwright, producer, director and Shakespearean actor, Charles now resides in New York, USA.

On that same day, US Marine aviator Major Chris “Wedge” Mitchell is flying an F35E Lightning over the Strait of Hormuz, testing a new stealth technology as he flirts with Iranian airspace. By the end of that day, Wedge will be an Iranian prisoner, and Sarah Hunt’s destroyer will lie at the bottom of the sea, sunk by the Chinese Navy. Iran and China have clearly coordinated their moves, which involve the use of powerful new forms of cyber weaponry that render US ships and planes defenseless. In a single day, America’s faith in its military’s strategic pre-eminence is in tatters.

How The Owner Of A 150-Person Law Firm Still Has Time For His Family In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike Morse, the founder of Mike Morse Law Firm, the largest personal injury law firm in Michigan. He was recently named a #1 Amazon Best-selling author for his book Fireproof and hosts a weekly podcast, Open Mike, where he shares advice on the law and brings important legal topics to the forefront. Mike highlighted the importance of working on the things that you love to do, where you're great at, and how delegating plays a key part in this. This resonated with me so much because I have always shared how essential it is to create a life that is aligned with what fills you with bliss. Carving out more time for ourselves and what we enjoy doing can actually transform our lives and our law practices. He also shared how important it is to really show up even if it means opening yourself up to ridicule and I couldn't agree more. Here's the Roosevelt Speech which speaks to him most: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Listen to the full episode so you can discover how focusing on the things we love doing actually enables us to have more free time to run our lives and our law practices in a way that completely brings us joy.   #bethebestdivorcelawyer #podcastshow #lawyerpodcast #lawyercoach #lifeofalawyer #legalprofession #joyfulliving #joyfullife #authenticity #beauthentic In this episode: Why I Wrote A Book [00:01:36] About The Book [00:07:29] The Book Is A 5-Step Model [00:09:29] Lawyers Don't Put The Same Amount Of Care And Preparation Into Running Their Own Law Firms [00:10:48] The Ambulance Chaser Commercial [00:14:29] The Roosevelt Speech [00:19:59] Only Work On The Things That You Love To Do Where You're Great At [00:24:07] Resources: Download Mike's Book called Fireproof on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2NYZ29V Sign Up for Newsletters and get some Tips and Tricks from Mike for Free: https://www.fireproofperformance.com/ Website: https://www.855mikewins.com/ Youtube: https://bit.ly/3dN8AzJ Podcast: https://www.openmikepodcast.com/ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3sqjfEy Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/3sxEjJr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/855mikewins/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeljmorse/

“The healing power of the body is not something you don’t want to take advantage of. No matter what other treatments you need, take advantage of that one.” – Dr. Neal Barnard Dr. Barnard is absolutely right! The best way that we can take care of our bodies — the very machines that have the power to heal themselves — is to put good clean fuel in the engine. And the best fuel that we have available is healthy food.

It is possible to find relief for hot flashes and menstrual cramps by making simple changes to your diet. On this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, two women who were pushed to the limit share how they were able to overcome severe hot flashes and unbearable menstrual cramping with food. Plus, “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Neal Barnard who explains why certain foods can trigger these conditions and how the hormones that cause them can be tamed at the dinner table. Ann Friday felt like a prisoner in her heavily layered police uniform when hot flashes would strike. Underneath layers of clothing and a thick bullet proof vest she roasted as the sweltering heat became trapped on her body with no way of escape. She would lose sleep as hot flashes indiscriminately flared up in the middle of the night. The rude awakening jeopardized her focus on the street, presenting a potentially dangerous situation. Having tried everything, she finally found a way to cool off and calm the hot flashes by making one big change. Lindsay Nixon would be doubled over in crippling pain every month when. The cramps were so severe that she was unable to leave her home. Often she begged her roommate to stand on her belly or would fold herself over the back of the couch thinking that the pressure would bring relief. She also began taking prescription pain killers and considered having a hysterectomy at a young age. The decision would have taken away her ability to have children, but all she could think about was putting an end to her agony. Finally, she found that food was the answer. Today she is living pain free and famously known as The Happy Herbivore. Lindsay also created the recipes from Dr. Barnard's book Your Body In Balance! She and Chuck go over her amazing recipe for Mediterranean Croquettes and Bayou Quinoa from Day 2 of the book's 14-day menu. — — — Order The Book https://amzn.to/2ZYYfaU   About The Book http://bit.ly/bodybalancebook   In Your Body in Balance, Dr. Barnard describes how food and hormones play a powerful role in:   - Fertility and menopause: Learn how foods affect the hormones that play a role in fertility, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, menstrual cramps, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Authors on the Aur host welcomes co-writers of I'LL BRING YOU BACK Joe Hart and Richard Brown. ABOUT THE BOOK:    Londyn and David's friendship bloomed under an oak tree. Through the years they endured hardships, triumphs, and the awkward transition from friends to something more. But a sudden accident on a snowy mountain road, changes everything.  Instead of celebrating the end of her senior year and acceptance to college, Londyn spends her days at David's hospital bedside, squeezing his hand and urging him to wake from a prolonged coma.

The foods you are eating play a big role in how you feel both physically and emotionally. We are going to explore the best foods to eat to help depression and learn about the foods that can leave you feeling down in the dumps. “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll and Dr. Neal Barnard are joined by Kim Diez who experienced first-hand the connection between food and mood.

The connection between thyroid health and diet is becoming increasingly clear. In the second part of the “Your Body In Balance” series with Dr. Neal Barnard and “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll, the pair explore the research available on thyroid function and nutrition. Dr. Barnard delves into the differences between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and the foods to avoid for each condition. He also tackles the effect dietary change can have on Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease. Then, Chuck is joined by three people from all different walks of life who overcame their thyroid issues and are featured in the Your Body In Balance book. Dr. Mike Cowan is a neurosurgeon who enjoyed staying active and competing in sports. Mike thought that he was a pillar of health until one day his bloodwork showed an underperforming thyroid. Wendy Sax is a film producer who began gaining weight unexpectedly and noticed that her hair was turning brittle. She experienced dramatic mood swings that often left her with feelings of deep depression while also feeling surges of restless energy. It wasn’t long before doctors diagnosed her with a hyperthyroid. Jeanne Schumacher is a chemistry teacher who also began packing on pounds, but instead of having a jolt of energy, she felt sluggish and was sick all the time. She had become a frequent flyer in the doctor’s office. Her turning point came when she was rushed to the hospital with a 105-degree fever and sky-high blood pressure. Although they lead much different lives, they do have one thing in common, each are now living vibrantly and healthfully following a closer examination of the foods they were eating. Their stories of transformation are amazing! Their stories are just a few of the many featured in Dr. Barnard’s new book, Your Body In Balance, which will be released on February 4.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes author Lee Matthew Goldberg to the studio. ABOUT LEE:  Lee Matthew Goldberg is the author of the novels SLOW DOWN and THE MENTOR from St. Martin’s Press. He has been published in multiple languages and nominated for the 2018 Prix du Polar. The first book in an international thriller series, THE DESIRE CARD, is out from Fahrenheit Press and the second book in the series PREY NO MORE will be forthcoming in 2020. His first Sci-Fi novel ORANGE CITY will also be out in 2020. His pilots and screenplays have been finalists in Script Pipeline, Stage 32, We Screenplay, the New York Screenplay, Screencraft, and the Hollywood Screenplay contests. ABOUT THE BOOK:  Any wish fulfilled for the right price. That's the promise the organization behind The Desire Card gives to its elite clients - but sometimes the price may be more menacing than anyone could ever imagine. Harrison Stockton has lived an adult life of privilege and excess: a high-powered job on Wall Street fuels his fondness for alcohol and pills at the expense of a family he has no time for. Quite suddenly all of this comes crashing to a halt when he loses his job and at the same time discovers he almost certainly has only months left to live. Desperate, and with seemingly nowhere else left to turn, Harrison activates his Desire Card. What follows is a gritty and gripping quest that takes him from New York City to the slums of Mumbai and forces him to take chances, and make decisions, he never thought he'd ever have to face. When his moral descent threatens his wife and children, Harrison must decide whether to save himself at any cost, or do what's right and break his bargain with the mysterious group behind The Desire Card.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes award-winning author Tim Maleeny to the studio. ABOUT TIM:  Tim  is author of the award-winning CAPE WEATHERS SERIES and the bestselling comedic thriller JUMP, which The Boston Globe called “hilarious” and Publishers Weekly described as “a perfectly blended cocktail of escapism.” His short fiction appears in several major anthologies and has won the prestigious Macavity Award for best story of the year.   Tim currently lives at an undisclosed location in New York City with his remarkable wife, Kathryn, and their two kickass daughters, Clare and Helen. When he’s not procrastinating by doing excessive research on exotic poisons, famous art heists or deadly sea creatures, Tim is working on his next novel, a screenplay, and a book for young readers. ABOUT THE BOOK:  At the height of tourist season, an armored car drives off a crowded pier and sinks to the bottom of San Francisco Bay. By the time divers find the wreck, the cash is gone and the driver has vanished. The police are convinced it's an inside job, but local merchant Vera Young, whose boyfriend drove the armored car, claims it was much more than a simple heist. Vera swears the missing driver is innocent and wants him found before the police can throw him in jail. Private investigator Cape Weathers reluctantly takes the case but warns Vera that her boyfriend is likely guilty-or dead. What starts as a manhunt uncovers a criminal conspiracy of money laundering, illegal drug testing, and a network of corporations willing to do anything to protect their stock price. It's a case that Cape can't get his arms around, and his relationship with Vera is getting complicated while the list of people who want him dead is getting longer.    

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes author and editor Holly West to the studio.  Holly edited the new crime fiction anthology MURDER-A-GO-GOs. ABOUT THE BOOK:  The Go-Go’s made music on their own terms and gave voice to a generation caught between the bra-burning irreverence of the seventies and the me-first decadence of the eighties. Anthems like “We Got the Beat,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” and “Vacation” are an indelible part of our collective soundtrack, but more than that, they speak to the power and possibility of youth. Inspired by punk but not yoked to it, the Go-Go’s broke important musical ground by combining cheeky lyrics, clever hooks, and catchy melodies, perfectly capturing what it feels like to be young and female in the process. But beyond the Go-Go’s effervescent sound and cheerful pop stylings, a darkness underlies many of their lyrics and melodies, hinting at the heartache and frustration inherent in growing up. In other words, plenty to inspire murder and mayhem.  Net proceeds from Murder-a-Go-Go’s benefit Planned Parenthood, a crucial provider of women’s affordable reproductive healthcare.  With a foreword by Go-Go’s co-founder Jane Wiedlin and original stories by 25 kick-ass authors, editor Holly West has put together an all-star crime fiction anthology inspired by one of the most iconic bands of the eighties and beyond.  Listen LIVE or in these archives, on Soundcloud.con/Authorsontheair or on your favorite podcast app.

From hard-hitting New York Daily News columnist Linda Stasi comes Book of Judas, a riveting religious thriller featuring beloved protagonist Alessandra Russo. Linda talks about her continent-hopping research project over 5 years - Israel to Rome to her hometown bank in New York - to uncover what may be one of the greatest revelations to be made in decades, if not centuries, about the Christian faith - Jesus and Judas and their "real" relationship. The Book of Judas (September 19, 2017) is a tour de force. Linda had more than 200 fans waiting in line at Book Expo of America at the Javitz Center a few weeks ago, to get the first of her signed advance reader copies. There's not a brighter fire-cracker in Manhattan than Linda! The New York Times has interviewed her several times already about Donald Trump because she covered him before anybody was...and she knows how to deliver pithy quotes for interviews! New York Times bestselling author Nelson DeMille says the book “will take your breath away.” And New York Times bestselling author Lisa Scottoline calls Linda "a modern-day Damon Runyon ... You won't be able to put down Book of Judas, and you'll root for Russo through this gritty, breakneck thriller against a vivid backdrop worth of The Da Vinci Code.” About The Book of Judas When her infant son is placed in mortal danger, New York City reporter Alessandra Russo is forced to save him by tracking down the missing pages of the Gospel of Judas, a heretical manuscript that was unearthed in Al-Minya, Egypt in the 1970's. The manuscript declares that Judas was not the betrayer, but the beloved, of Jesus. The Gospel disappeared, only to turn up decades later, rotted beyond repair in a Long Island bank deposit box. Rumors ran rampant that the most important pages had been stolen. Do the lost pages reveal a secret that will challenge Christianity's very belief about the creation of life, or even the power to unleash Armageddon? What if such explosive documents fell into the hands of modern-day terrorists, dictators, or religious fanatics? During her investigation, Alessandra is plunged into a dark world of murder, conspiracy, sexual depravity, and most importantly, a race against the clock to save her own child. Alessandra Russo Novels The Sixth Station Book of Judas New York City reporter Alessandra Russo is pulled into yet another intrigue; this time her friend Roy inherits a strange religious manuscript, tightly protected in a mysteriously locked tube. Rumors run rampant that these are missing pages from a rotted codex, the heretical Gospel of Judas, which postulated that Judas was not the betrayer, but the beloved of Jesus. Alessandra’s interest in the manuscript is truly piqued when she is faced with tragedy no mother should experience, and must track down the missing pages of the Gospel to set things right. Do the lost pages reveal a secret that will challenge Christianity's very belief about the creation of life, or even the power to unleash Armageddon? What if such explosive documents fell into the hands of modern-day terrorists, dictators, or religious fanatics? Can Alessandra crack the code and learn what the Gospel of Judas is truly saying to the faithful? During her investigation, Alessandra is plunged into a dark world of murder, conspiracy, sexual depravity, and most importantly, a race against the clock to save her own child.

This is a specialized skill and requires a lot of attention to nail these 250 or so words. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: • Why we call book descriptions “flap copy” and why it matters • The effect the Internet and search engine optimization has had on book descriptions • The one teeny tiny element that’s missing from almost all book copy that could double or triple your sales. • How to get your credibility across in your book description without sounding arrogant • Why other authors can be the key to a successful book description and how to find the right ones

We will be talking today with T.M. Williams and find out why she thinks she is the Accidental Writer. ABOUT THE BOOK:  Bohemian Grove Carter is living the perfect life in Santa Barbara -- loving father, great friends, and a successful business she has worked hard to build. Yet, it takes one scary night to change everything when a phantom knock on her door ends with the knowledge that her life will never again be the same. She discovers that everything she has known is a lie as the knowledge that she is the descendant of an alien line is thrown at her. Jack is a haunted man, while the one bright point in his life becomes Carter, a childhood acquaintance. Her very presence heats the depths of his soul and she could be his salvation. Yet, she is the very thing he most fears. Together they will discover the world of the Anunnaki, an alien race whose history has been tied to Earth since the very dawn of civilization. Thrust together into the unknown, they'll have no choice but to work as a team to wade through what is true and what is lie as Carter determines her place in this unknown society. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: What first started off as a blip on a blog soon took on a life of its own and turned into a novel. One, that T.M. Williams explains, she never really had control over. From the first moment her fingers hit the keyboard, the story formed, sometimes surprising even her with the twists in the story. After finishing Bohemian Grove she began to look into getting the book published. The quest seemed so daunting that she decided to put it on the back burner and continue writing the trilogy. Half-way through Sun Gate, Bohemian Grove was signed on by Nightengale Press and has been released in February 2013.
