A national meeting is being held to decide the fate of the country's multi million dollar banana industry as growing cases of the fungal disease known as Banana Freckle emerge in the NT. Organic Farmer Julie-Ann Murphy and Alan Petersen lost their business when the disease was discovered in the NT during the 90's. A decision was made then to eradicate all banana plants in the jurisdiction for fear of it spreading across the borders

The pandemic certainly exacerbated feelings of social isolation, but even before lockdown became the name of the game, global reports of loneliness were creeping up at an alarming rate. Both Japan and the United Kingdom established government positions dedicated to its relief, and little wonder – the cost of loneliness is high. Social isolation affects us individually and as a society. Its detrimental health effects – including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease – are well-documented. Feelings of loneliness are high among patients with chronic pain, so it's also strongly associated with opioid abuse. And in 2021, a study from Monash Business School's Centre of Health Economics found that the effects of loneliness represent a major economic burden as well. In an age of digital connection, why is humanity feeling more lonely than ever? What are the modern roots of loneliness? What are its hidden costs? And can we address the issue without upending society as we know it? In part one of a new series of Monash University's ‘What Happens Next?', host Dr Susan Carland is joined by sociologist Dr Alan Petersen, life-course epidemiologist Dr Rosanne Freak-Poli, federal MP Andrew Giles, and Dr Suzi Nielsen, Deputy Director of the Monash Addiction Research Centre. A full transcript of this episode is available on Monash Lens. ‘What Happens Next?' will be back next week with part two of this series, “Can We End Loneliness?”. In the meantime, learn how one collaboration is using literature to enhance our understanding of loneliness, especially in old age.

This is what happens when the podcast host becomes a podcast guest. ;-) Today I'm delighted to share an interview from Alan Petersen's Meet the Thriller Author podcast. The subject of the interview is me! Your host, Alexandra Amor, becomes the guest for this week. Alan and I talk about my cozy mystery novels set in frontier British Columbia. And we also touch on my children's novels, as well as the first book I wrote a memoir about 10 years I spent in a meditation cult in Vancouver in the 1990s.

Transcription of Interview with Alexandra Amor Alan: Hi everybody. This is Alan with Meet the Thriller Author, and for this episode I'm interviewing Alexandra Amor, and I have her on Skype. How are you doing Alexandra? Alexandra: Very well, thanks, Alan. How are you? Alan: I am doing good. Kind of the shoe on the other foot now, because you interviewed me a couple of weeks ago for your podcast. Alexandra: That's right, yes, exactly. So we've switched roles today. Alan: Switched roles. Yes, yes. We're funky like that. Alexandra: Yeah. Alan: Could you tell the listeners a little bit about yourself, please. Alexandra: Certainly, yeah. I'm an independently published author, and my first book was actually way out of the thriller and mystery genre. It was a memoir about 10 years I spent in a cult in the 1990s. And right now, I'm working on a mystery series. It's a historical mystery series, set in British Columbia, in 1890, and it centers around a small town called Horse, a fictional town, I should say. And the protagonist is a young woman, a schoolteacher named Julia Thom who has landed in that little town and runs into all kinds of mysteries that she needs to solve. Alan: Oh, it sounds fascinating. I was very interested in the historical aspect of your mysteries. Could you tell us a little bit about that? Is there a lot of history then that you have to do research for, or, how does that work out with the history component? Alexandra: Yeah, the history component certainly does add a layer of complexity, compared to writing in the present day. And I specifically wanted to set it right at the end of the 19th century, like that. I wanted to set it after the railroad had connected Canada from end-to-end, which happened in 1885, but before cars and telephones. So that's why I chose 1890. And yeah, and I've done research. There's a museum and archives in a small town there in the Central Okanogan, which is the area that book is set in. The real town is called Vernon, and so I've spent time at the museum and archives there, learning about what it was like. They have newspapers going back right to the late 1880s, might even be the mid 1880s. And it's fascinating, really, to learn about how people lived and it makes me reflect on how easy our lives are right now and how really challenging everything was, basically for the entire history of humanity until like the last 60 or 70 years. Alan: And then, I was also thinking of the challenges of writing something set in in the 19th century.

Thriller author, and podcast host, Alan Petersen puts the writing adage, 'Write what you know' to good use in his Pete Maddox series. As you'll hear, Alan was born in Costa Rica and grew up in South America. He's making the most of that experience by setting his first couple of fast-paced spy thrillers in that part of the world. But he doesn't stop there and you'll hear us chat about the varied locations he's now introducing into his books and how he goes about researching locations he's never been to. Not to mention the CIA! If you like your mysteries a bit more on the thriller end of the spectrum (think James Bond or Jason Bourne) then you'll love Alan's books. He's got two available now and the third one will be published very soon. Also, if you like thrillers, check out Alan's podcast, Meet the Thriller Author. It's another great source for readers looking for new books to read and authors to follow. ;-) You can find out more about today's guest, Alan Petersen, and all his books on his website AlanPetersen.com.

Transcription of Interview with Alan Petersen Alexandra: Hi, mystery readers. I'm Alexandra Amor, this is "It's a Mystery Podcast" and I'm here today with Alan Petersen. Hi, Alan. Alan: Hi, Alexandra. How are you doing? Alexandra: Very well. How are you? Alan: Oh, I'm doing great. It's a Friday, so that's always good. Alexandra: Yes. Yeah. Excellent. Well, let me just give our listeners a little bit of an introduction to you. Alan Petersen writes the high-octane Pete Maddox thrillers. He lives in San Francisco, where he's working on publishing books number 3 and 4 in the series this summer, and we're recording this in June 2017. And Alan is also the host of the "Meet the Thriller Author" podcast, which we'll talk about a little bit. And we've had some of the same guests on, I notice. Renee Paulish and John W. Mefford, to name a couple. Alan: Oh yeah. Small world. Alexandra: It is a small world. Yeah, exactly. Lots of mystery fans out there. Why don't you give us a little bit of an introduction to Pete, and his world, and what he's up to. Alan: Well, Pete Maddox is a... In the first book he's in the CIA, and he's a station chief down in Venezuela during the Hugo Chavez coup of 2002. So it's kind of based a little bit on historical, you know, stuff that happened in real life, but of course it's all fiction. Through the book he's now...currently he's no longer in the CIA, he's a freelancer. And so, yeah, just goes about helping people and kicking butt. Alexandra: Very good, as a good thriller hero should do. How did you come up with this character? Where did he come from, do you think? Alan: I've always loved the thrillers. So when I started to write this book, I knew I wanted somebody who was kind of like one of those tough guys, you know? And I always had the idea of writing a book on Venezuela. I grew up in Latin America, I was born in Costa Rica. I lived in Venezuela when I was a kid for, like, ten years. So I was always interested in that. And especially with the problems the United States and Venezuela has had the last 10, 15 years or so. I read an article where Libya and Venezuela had a very close relationship. This was when Gaddafi was still alive, and Chavez was still alive. And I go, "My, what would happen if the United States found out that Venezuela and Libya were building terrorist camps in Venezuela, in our own Western Hemisphere?
