Podcast appearances and mentions of Amy Harmon

Leader of the Wild Bunch gang, Butch Cassidy was a legendary American criminal who engineered infamous bank and train robberies across the West in the late 19th century. His charisma and careful planning ensured he eluded capture for years. And when, in 1901, he fled the law to South America with his partner, the Sundance Kid, reports differ as to what exactly became of him…. Could Cassidy have survived, quietly living out the rest of his days back in the United States? What is the real truth about his life? And was Butch Cassidy the kindly gentleman rogue some would have us believe? This is a Short History Of Butch Cassidy. A Noiser Production. Written by Nicola Rayner.

 Amy Harmon grew up in a remote Utah valley, very close to where the famed outlaw Butch Cassidy really lived. Quite a few years before her, of course. The folklore surrounding his Robin Hood reputation has always fascinated her. She's far too young to have seen the famous movie starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford first time round, but she's excavated the history and shed a whole new light on the story and her latest book, The Outlaw Noble Salt. Hi, I'm your host, Jenny Wheeler, and in this week's Binge Reading episode, Amy talks about the mystery surrounding Robert LeRoy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy, the American outlaw, train robber and leader of a gang called The Wild Bunch. It's officially recorded that he died in a shootout with local authorities in Bolivia in 1908. But did he really? Amy's book is a fascinating and heart-touching re-imagining of the story.

Hello there, Amy, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Amy Harmon: I am so excited to talk to you, Jenny. Jenny Wheeler: You've written more than 20 books and the most recent one is The Outlaw Noble Salt, and it retells the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance story, The Wild Bunch Story. If we are of a certain age, we saw the movie years ago, so it's well known. What did you feel you could bring new to it? Amy Harmon: I have always been drawn to the story, and I think it's because I grew up in a valley, just north of the valley where Butch Cassidy, who wasn't known as Butch Cassidy in his early years, he was Robert Parker, lived. He was born very close to where I was born, a hundred years apart. We were born in small town Utah at the end of the Wild West era. He was the last of this very short time period that defined in the West. And I have always been interested in him. I've always felt a connection to him. Beyond just of course, the movie which came out in 1969, which predates me a little bit. I didn't grow up with the movie, but it was very much the Western lore that is part of this place...

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable journey of guest, Amy Harmon, who transitioned from being a theater kid to carving her path in the film industry. Despite being fraught with sexism, she refused to be sidelined, showcasing her resilience and unwavering determination. From enduring inappropriate comments and advances to being consistently overlooked for promotions, she fought tirelessly for her place in the male-dominated world of Locations in film production. Through her perseverance and self-belief, she rose through the ranks to become a respected Locations Manager, breaking barriers and challenging the status quo along the way. Join us as we explore her inspiring story and shed light on the harsh realities of the industry.

I interview Dr.Adam Van Arsdale, a Professor of Anthropology at Wellesley College who researches how personal genomic information affects our understanding of ourselves and what it means to be human. In this episode, we explore how genetic testing, especially direct-to-consumer testing, can affect how we think about concepts like race, ancestry, and identity. We also consider the extractionist tendencies of genetics, leaving off with some examples of how Indigenous communities are resisting biocolonialism.

Listen as Tony Nash talks to George Briones III, a US Reconnaissance Marine veteran, athlete, and the director for training and programming for the tactical fitness company https://soflete.com/ (SOFLETE). George looks back at his life in the military and talks about one thing that he continues to implement to this day: the necessary tactical pause during transitions. He shares how, while on patrol in Afghanistan, the team would move across choke points or dangerous areas and do a “security halt” to regain composure and to have quick and quiet communication. During short halts, team members drop to one knee, face out, and survey the moment and the environment around them. He says applying this military tactic allows him to be fully present in the moment. “I'm taking this dynamic of working in this team and just turning it more into an internal process. Where am I at? Where's my headspace? Am I good to rock and roll for this next thing I got to do?” For George, it's your job to take care of yourself. The tactical pauses do not have to take long and be complicated. It could be as simple as taking deep breaths or going out for some air before returning to work. Reconnecting with Himself Growing up a Catholic, George says he had to “de-anchor” himself from his spirituality when he entered the military to survive. But in the last 5 years, he says he has learned to reconnect with his inner self and spiritual side by doing things he used to love – drawing, painting, writing, and photography. “It's me being able to recognize that I'm the Holy Spirit and I'm able to connect myself. If I can hold on to that, and stay attached to my heart from that perspective and from those actions in the way I live my life, it allows me to be grounded in keeping me who I am and continuing moving forward.” Now as he dives into content creation, writing, and sharing his thoughts in public, George says he has learned to adapt the skills he learned from the military to his daily life and his new world as a professional. This is where veterans struggle as they transition out of the military, as he says they had to retrain themselves “to live in a world they haven't lived before.” He says professions or jobs regularly change but your humanity stays, so you have to value yourself. Learning Out of Necessity George says there is no book or secret magic pill that can fix your life or make you successful. You have to show up every single day. Recently, he was inspired by the podcast interview of New York Times bestselling author https://www.authoramyharmon.com/ (Amy Harmon), who said she learned writing by simply doing and reading. George says this made him realize that he indeed learned so many things in the military out of the necessity to survive. Now moving forward, he says he continues to do many things out of need for creativity and self- discovery. He says it's part of who a person is, citing his own craving for conversation, creativity, and sharing his thoughts with others. One of the biggest lessons he needed to learn came from a devastating failure – giving up his own strength conditioning facility, which was his lifelong dream. He attributes this failure to his inability to fix himself, owing to his mental health struggles. But this ultimately led him to his biggest success – being empowered and prepared to look within himself, fulfill his needs, and address his problems. Without this failure, he would not be able to reach where he is now. “But at the end of the day, I'm happy with the lows I hit. Without those lows, I wouldn't have been able to recognize the needs that I needed to get me back to the baseline and ultimately allow me to live the life I'm living today.” At the time, fresh out of the military, he recalls engulfing himself into work and in the process ignoring himself and his family. His failure to take care of himself led to the failure of those around him. It took him another year and a half to seek help....

This week we are on "summer break." Enjoy this replay from Amy Harmon. ----------Today's interview is with Amy Harmon. I was introduced to her work when I picked up her book What the Wind Knows. I loved the book and her style, especially for someone who loves historical fiction. What I did not know is how Amy is a complete baller. I'm not going to give anything away in this interview, but Amy's writing journey, her grit, and spirit are incredibly inspiring. In fact, when we ended recording for the interview, I asked if I could call her each week for a pep talk.  In this interview we cover the muscle it takes to write, we talk about Amy's self-publishing journey and highlight one of the most important traits for a writer to have to be successful. I know you will love this interview as much as I do. Without delay, here is the interview with Amy Harmon.Support the show (http://www.howwriterswrite.com)

Emeshmoon confronts the intruder and past revelations about her origins. ★★★★★ "What a debut novel! Hollywood this is your new dark historical fantasy and horror franchise!" -- Jedi Joeda It is no mere coincidence that D. J. Swales shares the same last name as Count Dracula's first Whitby victim. His debut novel BARATANAC (Parts I, II, and III) will chill your blood. Discover the audio drama of this genre-busting dark fantasy, supernatural horror, and historical thriller.

She is a hardened warrior, wrenched from the only love she ever knew and raised in merciless service to Baal. Her iron heart holds the secrets of a young girl trafficked across the Sahara from the decaying Egyptian city of Sekht-Am (Siwa). Ever threatened by the scandal of her origins, she proves herself by embarking on a series of violent missions. Once again, she is sent from Africa – this time to penetrate new frontiers at the edge of the world, in ancient Britain. The Fitzmarbury Witches series unveils a web of predatory evil that spans eras and continents. Fans of Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Pillars of the Earth, The Last Kingdom, Outlander, and matured readers of Harry Potter and His Dark Materials will love BARATANAC.

Hoopla has 10 borrows per month. Great selection and quick turnaround. I got  the audiobook for Beach Read, Robyn Carr’s audio is mostly available for borrowing, Lynsay Sands (Argeneau), Nalini Singh (Psy-changeling).   Tip on signing up: $75/3 months, $100/6 months or $125/year Note: When applying, select the check box next to "Out of Country" to enter in your address. They may ask a question on the form about what county OCLS is in to stop spammers. The answer is "Orange" since OCLS stands for Orange County Library System. Verdict: This one is worth $125 based on the ample selection, access to Hoopla.  Brooklyn Public Library - $50 a year Great romance selection, lot’s of ebooks and audiobooks.  No Hoopla. Books available: new releases, Nalini Singh Psy-changeling series.  The wait time is a few weeks.   Verdict: if you like romance kindle books then this is a good price for great selection. It is unfortunate, they don’t have Hoopla. They do have a Cloud Library for additional book selection.    Houston Public Library - $40 a year  10 Borrows for Hoopla.  Verdict: I just joined but based on the selection they have Nalini Singh, some Lynsay Sands (no Argeneau), Robyn Carr Virgin River (hold).  I am unsure if this one is worthwhile.  I will track where I am getting the books and give you an update in a few weeks.   Fairfax County Public Library - $27 a year  No Hoopla  Verdict: This library has a good Overdrive but not as comprehensive as Brooklyn and Orange County.    Queens Public Library - $50 a year.

Thank you again to Lisa for her time. And now, here is the interview with Lisa See. Support the show (http://www.howwriterswrite.com)

Today’s interview is with Amy Harmon. I was introduced to her work when I picked up her book What the Wind Knows. I loved the book and her style, especially for someone who loves historical fiction. What I did not know is how Amy is a complete baller. I’m not going to give anything away in this interview, but Amy’s writing journey, her grit, and spirit are incredibly inspiring. In fact, when we ended recording for the interview, I asked if I could call her each week for a pep talk. In this interview we cover the muscle it takes to write, we talk about Amy’s self-publishing journey and highlight one of the most important traits for a writer to have to be successful. I know you will love this interview as much as I do. Without delay, here is the interview with Amy Harmon.Support the show (http://www.howwriterswrite.com)

At the end of the year, we like to speak with a journalist who covers genetics about some of their stories.

Heather B. Moore is a four-time USA Today bestseller and award-winning author of more than fifty publications. Her historical novels are set in Ancient Arabia and Mesoamerica. She’s not old and doesn’t remember the time period, so Google has become a great friend. Although she spent several years living in the Middle East, she prefers to forget the smells. Heather writes historicals and thrillers under H.B. Moore. She also writes women’s fiction, romance, and inspirational non-fiction under Heather B. Moore, including The Newport Ladies Book Club, and the Amazon bestselling Timeless Romance Anthologies. Heather’s USA Today bestselling titles include Heart of the Ocean, Mail Order Bride, Mistress Grim, and Poetic Justice. Heather also writes Young Adult speculative under pen name Jane Redd, which includes the Solstice series.  1) Do you have an ‘elevator pitch’ for your Pine Valley series (Worth the Risk and Where I Belong)? How do you describe it? The Pine Valley series is a small town romance. Romance readers love romance series but they don’t necessarily want the romance to drag on book after book. So in this, there are several characters in the same town. Each story is about a new couple. It’s loosely based on a N California community. She doesn’t mention the word CA, just once in every book—she just wanted to create a community that others could relate to. It’s a small town and has a wholesome romance feel to it. Like a Hallmark movie but hopefully less cheesy. :) 2) Tell us a little about your writing journey, and at what point did you hit USA Today? (Congrats, by the way!) She started writing when she was 30 years old, and she had a book idea — was helping her grandma with her personal history. That turned into a book and she didn’t know if it was good or not — it took her at least 3 yrs before she started to see interest from publishers. Her first publisher, Covenant, is her current one, too—she’s been with them for 14 yrs now. Covenant is more niche and they target a certain market. About 5-6 yrs ago, indie publishing was becoming very mainstream. Before that, it was what you did when nobody else wanted your book. But she had a few friends who had gone the self-pub route. She watched them, and heard that people would hit lists if they published box sets or collections. Her first time hitting the list was a box set of books by a group of authors that were already published, but they put them together as a group. They swapped newsletters, bought ads, etc. Then she hit the list three more times in different ways. She’s also in an anthology called Mail Order Bride. That had been out for at least a year, but she ran a sale and a BookBub ad, and it broke the top 50 on Amazon and was #3 on B&N. That hit the list. On her blog, she’s got more details of her writing journey and strategies. 3) Tell us a little about your backlist. What else have you written? When she first wrote for Covenant it was historical fiction. Almost all her books are religious based or based on scriptural characters. She has a book on Esther the Queen. One of her books is Daughters of Jared, about two sisters who are princesses, in ancient Mesoamerica. It’s a story of how they are opposites and they support each other. Another is Finding Sheba: a thriller, like Da Vinci Code meets Indiana Jones. There’s now 4 books in the series. She loves history and loves to combine adventure. 4) I love the fact that you write clean romance. Tell us a bit about why you chose to go that route. It’s definitely unusual! Part of the reason is because of personal beliefs. Covenant also has a specific audience, and her readership was built over the years with them. She felt like if she went outside that too far, core readership would be upset. That’s also where her comfort zone is. But not all of her books are “squeaky” clean — some are more PG13-rated. 5) Who are some of your favorite authors/books that you would consider to be your inspirations? Amy Harmon: she started with contemporary romance and women’s fiction, but she did a WWII novel that won an award. She also has a fantasy series. Beautiful prose. And Josi Kilpack writes historical women’s fiction which she loves. She also likes quirky ones, like My Plain Jane. She reads 2-3 WWII era novels per year as well: recently read Beneath a Scarlet Sky. And she recently read America’s First Daughter, as well. 6)  Are you self-published, hybrid, or traditional (and why did you choose to go that route)? She is hybrid. With Covenant, she has a book come out yearly. She also writes thrillers for Thomas and Mercer, an Amazon imprint, and self-publishes—sometimes she puts those books on Kindle Unlimited. Her marketing strategy is such that she changes that around depending on what she’s trying to do. 7) What advice might you have for other authors out there: what’s the most effective marketing strategy you’ve used to date? If you really want to self-publish, you have to treat it as a business. You’ll spend a few grand in production of the book. If she wants to write a contemporary romance series, and she wants to be successful and make money, she’ll have to invest that money — she’ll be going head to head with other successful authors. Have a professional cover, typesetting, editing, a great description and a catchy tag line. Volume also makes a difference: if you have 1-2 books come out, you’ll likely only sell 50 books per month. Once you have more books come out, that’s when you see a rise in sales. You also want to have a newsletter and market to your readers. At the beginning of all her books, she uses a “reader magnet” to capture email addresses for something that’s free. Start building and retaining your audience. 8) Anything I haven’t asked you that you want to make sure you communicate to our audience? Just says don’t be afraid to follow your dreams, but don’t compare yourself to other people either. Find her on hbmoore.com, or Facebook, or Amazon.

In der aktuellen Folge haben wir die Bloggerin Luna von Lunatic Booklover zu uns eingeladen. Sie durfte vorab das Buch „Bird and Sword“ von Amy Harmon lesen. Hört euch ihre Rezension an. Wir wünschen viel Spaß! Ein Mädchen ohne Stimme. Ein König in Ketten. Ein Fluch, der sie vereint. Mit fünf Jahren musste Lark mit ansehen, wie ihre Mutter vor ihren Augen hingerichtet wurde. Mit dem letzten Atemzug nahm sie ihrer Tochter die Stimme und die Macht der Worte. Denn Magie ist eine Todsünde in Jeru. Dreizehn Jahre später erscheint der junge König Tiras am Hof von Larks Vater, um diesen an seine Treuepflicht im Krieg zu erinnern. Er nimmt die stumme junge Frau als Geisel mit sich. Zunächst fürchtet Lark den König, doch sie merkt schnell, dass Tiras ebenso wenig frei ist wie sie und dass die Liebe womöglich die einzige Waffe ist, die ihrer beider Ketten sprengen kann … Das E-Book zu „Bird and Sword“ findet ihr hier: https://itunes.apple.com/de/book/bird-and-sword/id1234229098?mt=11

This week co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler welcome journalist Amy Harmon to Lab Out Loud.  Harmon recently wrote an article for the NY Times in which she examined a county council in Hawaii that wanted to ban genetically modified organisms.  Listen to the show as Harmon unravels the intersection of politics and science in this heated debate, and you will discover many resources that you can bring back into your classroom to discuss genetically modified organisms.

8 AM - 1 - New York Times reporter Amy Harmon talks to us about her story "A Lonely Quest for Facts on Genetically Modified Crops (aka GMOs); . 2 - We go LIVE to Chris Christie's press conference about his bridge controversy. 3 - Marshall's News. 4 - More on Christie; CA went after listener's bank account after he moved to OR.

Amy Harmon, a Pulitzer Prize winner, covers science and society for the New York Times. "I'm not looking to expose science as problematic and I'm not looking to celebrate it. But it can be double edged. Genetic knowledge can certainly be double edged. Often the science outpaces where our culture is in terms of grappling with it, with the implications of it. Part of the reason for this widespread fear about GMOs is people don't understand what it is. I'm looking for an emotional way or a vehicle through which to get people to read about it. It's an excuse to talk about the science, not just explain it. … My contribution, what I can do, is try to tell a story that will engage people in the story and then they'll realize at the end that they learned a little bit about the science."
