Craig Sisterson chats to ATTICA LOCKE about her new novel Guide Me Home, screenwriting and TV, Crime Writers of Colour and Texas. Guide Me Home Texas Ranger Darren Mathews has handed in his badge. A choice made three years before, which served justice if not the law, means that he may now stand trial. And his mother - an intermittent and destructive force in his life - is the cause of his fall from grace.And yet it is his mother's reappearance that may also be his salvation. A black girl at an all-white sorority at a nearby college is missing, her belongings tossed in a dumpster. Her sorority sisters, the college police, even the girl's own family, deny that she has disappeared, but Sera Fuller is nowhere to be found. A bloodstained shirt discovered in a woodland clearing may be the last trace of her. And Darren's mother wants her son to work the case.Disillusioned by an America forever changed by the presidency of Donald Trump, Darren reluctantly agrees. Yet as he sets out to find a girl whose family don't want her found, it is his own family's history that may be brought painfully into the light. And a reckoning with his past may finally show Darren the future he can build.Attica Locke is the author of Bluebird, Bluebird which won the CWA Steel Dagger and an Edgar Award; Pleasantville, which won the 2016 Harper Lee Prize for Legal Fiction and was longlisted for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction; Black Water Rising, which was nominated for an Edgar Award and shortlisted for the Orange Prize; and The Cutting Season, a national bestseller and winner of the Ernest Gaines Award for Literary Excellence.

So excited to share my rich and nuanced convo with Attica and Tembi Locke. I discovered this dynamic sister duo after devouring their Netflix limited series, FROM SCRATCH, starring Zoe Saldana. Once my tear ducts could no longer produce any more tears, I immediately had to find out who was behind this beautiful show.

Her memoir, From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home, is a 2019 Reese's Book Club pick and NYT bestseller. Alongside Hello Sunshine, Tembi and Attica adapted the book as a limited series for Netflix, which trended in the top 10 globally in 84 countries for weeks on end following its October 2022 release. Attica is an award-winning screenwriter, TV producer, and novelist. She recently co-created and served as showrunner on From Scratch. Other screen credits include Little Fires Everywhere, When They See Us, and Empire. Locke is also NY-Times best-selling author of five novels: Heaven, My Home; Bluebird, Bluebird; Pleasantville; The Cutting Season; and Black Water Rising. They are delightful humans, astute creators and I can't wait to watch their star continue to rise! In this chat, we dive into: -Why it's necessary to come up for air/refuel -How sometimes the things you fear the most end up being the greatest gifts -How to own your creative vision while staying open to collaboration LINK IN BIO!
On this episode of THE HEAVY GALAXY SHOW, Matt & John start things off by discussing their recent interviews for the show with Dozer/Wino/Kenny Hickey, followed by a discussion regarding the recent inductions into the rock-n-roll hall of fame and their continued disregard for rock and metal bands as a whole. The music kicks in gear with new videos from Portland proto-metal vets DANAVA and the Austin's HIGH DESERT QUEEN. The guys follow that up with an in-depth discussion on the modern day live music experience and their appreciation and preference of underground shows at smaller venues over the more costly and less intimate experience of live music held at larger venues. Gist discusses his involvement in RIPPLE MUSIC bands WOLFNAUT and KAISER and their most recent releases on the SF Bay Area label and features music videos from both. This episode's ROCK CITY SPOTLIGHT segment is the New York/New Jersey heavy rock scene and featured discussion and videos from MONSTER MAGNET, THE ATOMIC BITCHWAX, RESTLESS SPIRIT, BLACK WATER RISING and SPOTLIGHTS.

Ich begrüße Sie zur Novemberausgabe der Talk Noir. Heute mit Auszügen aus Attica Lockes Kriminalroman "Pleasentville". Übersetzt von Andrea Stumpf. Zum ersten Mal in der 160-jährigen Geschichte Houstons hat ein schwarzer Kandidat Aussicht aufs Bürgermeisteramt. Auch wenn sein Vorsprung vor der Stichwahl schmilzt. Die Bevölkerung befürchtet wegen der hohen Verbrechensrate sich nicht von der Ölkrise und dem wirtschaftlichen Niedergang erholen zu können. Zu schlecht steht ihre Stadt da. Bei Jay Porter, dem Rechtsanwalt, den wir aus Black Water Rising kennen, ist eingebrochen worden. Allerdings liegen die Scherben auf der Veranda und nicht im Haus.
J-Bunny sits down on Skype (while drinking beer from Ghost Hawk Brewing Co, of course) and talks with John Fattoruso guitarist for the band Black Water Rising, and formerly of the bands Stereomud and The Pain Method. They discuss John's journey in music prior to joining Stereomud, including auditioning for Machine Head, playing in a band named Wardance with members of Exodus, and almost playing in Vanilla Ice's touring band for the album Hard to Swallow. They also discuss how Stereomud emerged from the ashes of Life of Agony, their experience working on a song for WWE, and why the band broke up shortly after the release of the album Every Given Moment in 2003. John talks about how he came to join the band Black Water Rising, why he left the band after their first album, and why he decided to rejoin in 2019. John and J-Bunny also discuss how John came to join the band The Pain Method during his hiatus from Black Water Rising, and what ultimately happened with that band. Finally, John talks about other projects that almost happened, and the confusing announcement of Stereomud returning in 2009 (which turned out to be vocalist Erik Rogers' new band Dangerous New Machine). Podcast intro "Rock Intro 3" courtesy of audionautix.com. "Jokes on You" is the latest single from Black Water Rising and "Drop Down" appears on Stereomud's album Every Given Moment. Both songs were included with the permission of John Fattoruso.

Mit mir am Mikrofon die Autorin Susanne Saygin und der Kritiker Marcus Müntefering. Auch heute wieder stellen wir am Ende drei persönliche Empfehlungen vor. Diesmal Julie Estéve "Ich, Antoine", Stephen King "Billy Summers" und Hannelore Cayre "Reichtum verpflichtet". Zuerst jedoch zu Attica Locke und ihrem Kriminalroman „Black Water Rising“, der mit einer harmlosen Bootsfahrt beginnt, bis der Anwalt Jay Porter eine Frau aus dem Wasser rettet. Attica Lockes erster Kriminalroman ist eine in sich verschachtelte Geschichte über Black-Panters, Gewerkschaften, Rassismus, Familie und alte Freundschaften. Was mich zu der Frage führt, muss man sich der Vergangenheit stellen, um die Gegenwart verändern zu können?
In 2020, Dawn Davis, took the reins as editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit along with Condé Nast's other food brands including Epicurious, Healthyish, and Basically, across digital, video, OTT, social and print platforms. In doing so, she made history as the first woman of color to hold this position. Acknowledged as "a book world star" by the New York Times in their coverage of the appointment, Dawn's editorial vision is directing a new chapter at the 65-year-old publication. Each year in October, Bon Appétit celebrates the "Hot Ten", a list of America's Best New Restaurants in its Restaurant Issue. This year, under Dawn's guidance, the Restaurant Issue was redefined and is reflective of the times. The issue honors "the restaurants, people and organizations that gave us hope with a brand-new awards list, Heads of the Table." The issue celebrates the resilience, variety of food, and the people who make them run, the ones that sprang up or pivoted during the pandemic to help their communities and others in the industry who needed it most, from giving opportunities to the formerly incarcerated to feeding neighbors. Dawn spent decades as an accomplished publisher and author, with a passion for food and culture. Her prolific publishing career at 37 Ink, a Simon & Schuster imprint, included bestselling and award-winning titles: Heads of the Colored People by Nafissa Thomas-Spires, winner of the 2019 Whiting Award; the National Book Award finalist, Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave; Ona Judge by Erica Armstrong Dunbar; and several New York Times bestsellers , including Tough Love: My Story of the Things Worth Fighting For by Susan Rice; The Butler: A Witness to History by Wil Haygood, later becoming a major motion picture directed by Lee Daniels; The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae that helped pave the way for her tv show, Insecure; and I Can't Make This Up by Kevin Hart. Her time at HarperCollins, overseeing the Amistad imprint, resulted in publishing numerous well-known, highly acclaimed authors, including Edward P. Jones, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Known World; Attica Locke, author of Black Water Rising; and Chris Gardner, author of The Pursuit of Happyness, that also became a major motion picture starring Will Smith. Her passion for food culture is exhibited in the first cookbook she acquired, Recipe of Memory: Five Generations of Mexican Cuisine by Mary Lau Valle and Victor M. Valle, and was nominated for two Julia Child Cookbook Awards and a James Beard Award. As an author, Dawn wrote If You Can Stand the Heat: Tales from Chefs and Restaurateurs profiling some of the most dynamic chefs of the times including Edna Lewis, Bobby Flay, Anthony Bourdain, Michael McCarthy, Patricia Williams and Linda Rodriguez. Listen in as Dawn and host, Brad Johnson, discuss some of the featured people, stories and recipes in the October issue of Bon Appétit: The Restaurant Issue, along with a variety of other topics including: Dawn's journey that led to publishing, some of her favorite Martha's Vineyard places to visit; reflections from time spent in Nigeria; the significance of a high-profile restaurant going meatless; expanding the dialogue around African American cuisine's contribution to American cuisine; her cookbook collection; and stories about the interesting chefs she included in the book she authored.

A great converstaion about literally everything with a great guy , great guitarist and a great friend..oh and a ton of laughs. Enjoy!
I’m excited to share this beautiful conversation with Tembi Locke, that centers around the wisdom of our matriarchs and the seeds they plant within us to pursue our journeys, to create space for resilience, love, and creativity, and to invest in ourselves so we can serve the collective good. Tembi is a distinguished keynote speaker, writer, advocate, and American actor with more than sixty TV and film credits including the global hit Netflix series, Never Have I Ever. She is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book, From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home … A Reese’s Book Club pick and soon to be Netflix series, starring Zoe Saldana. This episode’s dedication comes from Tembi’s sister, acclaimed author and writer and producer of many powerful series for television, including Little Fires Everywhere and When They See Us, Attica Locke. Attica dedicates the episode to her mother, to her matrilineal ancestors, and to her sister Tembi...all who have been as she says, “visionaries of love in her life.” The legacy of love and vision is a thread that weaves throughout my conversation with Tembi, as she names and shares about the four generations of women in her family, who she can trace back to the time of reconstruction after chattel slavery, and whose lessons help her navigate today’s world. We explore how her family’s ecosystem enabled her to invest in her dreams, nurture creativity and play, and pursue her creative endeavors and also how she carries that forward in how she mothers her daughter Zoela. Though we covered a lot of territory together, we realized there was so much more we wanted to discuss, including what it is like to star in her latest hit show Never Have I Ever, so Tembi has agreed to a special Mother’s Quest Q & A via zoom that we will schedule in September. Make sure to join the Mother’s Quest email list at www.mothersquest.com or the Facebook Group for details if you want to join us! I felt like this whole conversation was inspiration to light the way during these pandemic times, with profound moments that filled me with clarity and faith in the future. I hope this conversation helps remind you, as it did me and Tembi, of the power of our matriarchs, of sharing our experiences, of learning from and guiding each other, and seeking that sanctuary within so that we can serve a higher good. Much appreciation, P.S. Know someone who would love this conversation? Pay this forward to a friend who may be interested.

In “Quarantinelandia” Tembi’s way of tuning into herself now Listening actively and speaking less in motherhood How Tembi has created circles of sisterhood and how her own sister is helping her turn her memoir into a Netflix series The importance of slowing down, becoming present with ourselves, and creating a “Sanctuary Within” Tembi’s reflections on the Sicilian proverb “Hunger is the Best Sauce” and how hunger and desire can be its own reward How we can be each other’s guides This Episode's Challenge: For those of us who are in a place where we are well, have food, shelter, and are healthy, Tembi encourages us to slow down, tune into ourselves, and find that sanctuary within so that we can be a guide to others and serve the greater good.

The secret to starting well is to end well One of the biggest lessons I've learned on my parenting and life journey is that if we want to set our children up for successful new beginnings, we need to do the reflective work ourselves to close the last chapter and begin anew.COVID-19 and distance learning upended all of our lives and made it very challenging to end the school year well. But, in the midst of the difficulties, we also found new ways of being and deep resilience.There is wisdom and lessons learned to mine for that can help shine a light on what to do next. And when we create space for reflection and invest in ourselves, we open up possibilities and a blueprint to help our children do the same.Interested in getting support to close COVID, life and distance learning 1.0 before beginning again? With me as your guide? In August, I'm launching a special Back to School Coaching Special that combines my signature "Virtual Milestone Hike" experience in a one-on-one 90-minute coaching session along with the opportunity to be in "Circle" with other reflective mothers to share what we uncover together on these Virtual Hikes.

Pleasantville (Harper) One of Skylight Books' favorite local authors Attica Locke returns with her most ambitious novel to date, taking on business corruption, scheming local politicians and murder in Pleasantville, which brings back Black Water Rising's morally conflicted environmental attorney Jay Porter. It's now 1996, fifteen years since Black Water Rising, and Porter is struggling to cope with a family tragedy. He's decided to quit the law after he wraps up his final case: representing the citizens of Pleasantville, a storied neighborhood on the north side of Houston, against the chemical giant ProFerma. Houston's mayoral election is pending, and Pleasantville is a key electoral district due to the long-time organizing efforts of its now elderly “patriarch” Sam Hathorne. Its endorsement can make or break a candidate's chances. Sam's son, Axel, Houston's former police chief and a favorite of Pleasantville faces a run-off against the city's current District Attorney, Sandra Wolcott. Then Axel's nephew, Neal, is arrested for the murder of a young woman who disappeared while campaigning in Pleasantville. Sam coerces Jay into serving as Neal's defense attorney, even though Jay insists he's not qualified. As he tries to untangle the complicated knot of politics, lies, and family secrets at the heart of the Hathorne campaign, Jay finds that the case puts an entire electoral process on trial, revealing the lengths to which those with power are willing to go to keep it. Attica Locke's first novel, Black Water Rising, was nominated for a 2010 Edgar Award, an NAACP Image Award, as well as a Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and was short-listed for the prestigious Orange Prize in the UK (now the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction). Her second book, The Cutting Season, published by Dennis Lehane books, is a national bestseller, and, like her debut, was a finalist for the Hurston-Wright Legacy Award. It was also named an Honor Book by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association, was long-listed for the Chautauqua Prize, and is the 2013 winner of the Ernest Gaines Award for Literary Excellence, the largest literary prize for African-Americans. A graduate of Northwestern University, Locke was a fellow at the Sundance Institute's Feature Filmmakers Lab and had planned a career as a movie director, but got derailed along the way, spending many years as a screenwriter-for-hire. She wrote scripts for Paramount, Warner Bros, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, HBO, and Dreamworks. Highly paid, yet unproduced, Locke grew restless with the Hollywood studio system. “There were days I felt like I was writing solely for the pleasure of a group of studio execs, all with a fifteen-mile radius of Burbank, California, that my work had no meaning beyond that.” In 2005, she gave herself one year to change this – during which she wrote the first draft of Black Water Rising. “Besides motherhood, it was the single most transformative experience of my life.” After two books, she felt pulled toward Hollywood again, explicitly television, where great drama is being produced “like I haven't seen in my lifetime.” She is currently co-producer and writer on the upcoming Fox drama, Empire, created by Lee Daniels (The Butler, Precious) and Danny Strong (Game Change, The Hunger Games) and premiering in January 2015. Locke is a member of the academy for the Folio Prize in the UK and is also on the board of directors for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles. A native of Houston, Texas, Attica lives in Los Angeles, California, with her husband and daughter.
We rant about Skid Row's new singer, David "LaRoth's" vocal stylings on Van Halen's new live album and other silliness. Loose Cannon and Bakko of Decibel Geek play great tracks from the ridiculous number of new bands that have the word "black" in their band name. Black Star Riders, Black Country Communion, Black Water Rising. We also want to say thanks to our new sponsor I Remember You Staffing.

Subtle and compelling." — New York Times Attica Locke's widely acclaimed novel Black Water Rising was nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, an Edgar Award, an NAACP Image Award, and the UK's Orange Prize.

Join Ella as she meets one today's hottest authors. Attica Locke discusses Black Water Rising with the Go on Girl President.Attica Locke is a novelist and a screenwriter who has written scripts for Paramount, Warner Bros, Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, HBO Films and more. A graduate of Northwestern University, she was a fellow at the Sundance Institute’s Feature Filmmaker’s Lab. Black Water Rising, her first novel, was nominated for a 2010 Edgar Award and a 2010 NAACP Image Award. She is currently at work on her second book. Black Water Rising is a murder mystery that takes place in Houston, Texas, in 1981. It follows the character, Jay Porter, a low rent criminal defense attorney who was heavily involved in the civil rights movement in the late '60s and early '70s and now finds himself trying to transition from the political activism of his youth into the Reagan '80s - a time when the whole country and black people in particular had shifted our focus from political progress to economic progress. At the beginning of the book, Jay saves a woman from drowning and soon gets caught up in a mystery involving this woman and some of the biggest power brokers in the city. And along the way he has to come to terms with the demons of his past: the guns, his FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.
