In this week's Writer Wednesday, CC and JT sit down with Lauren Cassel Brownell, a lifelong writer from Lubbock, Texas. Lauren shares her journey as a writer and her latest project, "This Book Really Cooks: West Texas Writers and Artists Reflect on Food." This book is a delightful mix of essays and original artwork that celebrates the culinary culture of West Texas. It features over 50 pieces of artwork and 18 essays focused on food stories from the West Texas region. Lauren describes the process of matching writers with artists, creating a unique synergy between the essays and the accompanying art.Throughout the interview, Lauren emphasized the joy and positivity she experienced while curating this anthology. We saw firsthand how her approach to writing is energetic, contrasting the often angsty stereotype of the writer. Join us for a deeper dive into Lauren's journey and the beautiful stories that emerge from the heart of West Texas. If you're curious about the intersection of food, art, and writing, this episode is a mustYou can learn more about Lauren through her website at https://laurencasselbrownell.com, as well as her Facebook and Instagram pages.

This week on the Big Show is about Pagan Pride, the Race to Wrigley, and how a long day can and should affect your characters.We came up with the topic of "physicality in writing" because we did a twelve-hour day in Reno on Saturday, selling books at the Pagan Pride Festival. We had a great time, talked to lots of people, and sold books, but it was still a twelve-hour workday. Then we did our annual Race to Wrigley on Sunday to support Chicago Cubs charities. We used to dream about doing these little things and more without having to balance a forty-hour work week on top of it, but now we find out that...yeah. Advil is our friend.When you send your characters on their Hero's Journey, and we used Luke Skywalker as an example, achievement and finding your dreams always come with a physical price. The Luke we saw at the beginning of the "Star Wars" saga is way different than the one we saw at the end. We talk about how the writer should be mindful of physical challenges from the Hero's Journey in their books.Of note:- In addition to our regular podcast, we feature writers from around the world to chat with us on Wednesdays. Have a look at our Writers page for more information.- Cassidy does a daily YouTube called The Life of a Writer with her views of her own craft and perspective on being an independent writer.- Please preorder Battle Born Bride.

This week, "The CC & JT Amateur Hour" dives into the inspiring journey of Angela Page, a writer, producer, and former corporate professional who decided to chase her passion for storytelling. In our candid conversation, Angela shares the trials and tribulations of transitioning from a stable paycheck to the unpredictable world of writing and filmmaking.Angela reflects on the biggest challenge she faced when leaving the corporate world: the absence of that regular paycheck. She took a sabbatical and managed to stretch her resources while she built her writing career. Her path was not without its bumps; she humorously notes that earning from book sales often feels like getting just enough for a coffee.Angela has a unique approach to her writing, often crafting books with the intention of adapting them into screenplays. Her first book, inspired by personal tragedies, sparked a creative journey that led to multiple adaptations and projects in film. This strategic mindset has allowed her to navigate the competitive waters of both literature and film.One of the most poignant parts of Angela's narrative revolves around Enrico G, which explores her family history and the complex emotions tied to it. She shares the challenges of writing about her ancestors' struggles and the impact of their experiences.You can learn more about Angela and purchase her books through her website.+++Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC & JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of Two Moore Books, LLC out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.

One day, back when we were young(er) and carefree, we threw a snowball from the top of the mountain without realizing that the snowball would grow larger and larger...This week's writers podcast is about those small decisions we made at the beginning of our writing careers that transformed our lives. Decisions like retiring and spending those empty days writing a book, or drafting a author's website, or or joining a writing community, all of which leading to a universe of intended and unintended consequences. We talk about our experiences and, hopefully, offer good advice to those who have not yet dipped a toe into the world of full-time writing.CC is gearing up for the October debut of Battle Born Bride, including the possibility of cosplaying one of the characters in her book. She hopes to make at least two appearances in October when it is released on Nevada Day.I am serializing Finding Salvation Part One on Patreon and Substack.

Nevada journalist, author, and creator of the Backyard Traveler series, Rich Moreno returns to "The CC & JT Amateur Hour" where we discuss the creative and publishing journey behind his first book of short stories. Known for his non-fiction works centered around the Silver State, Rich's transition into fiction showcases the creative process that many writers navigate, blending personal experiences with the landscapes of the American West.Tales from the Nevada Ether began when he submitted a story to an anthology curated by Carson City publisher Stephen Provost and Dragon Crown Books. This submission led to a series of published stories in subsequent anthologies, ultimately culminating in the collection of his own short stories. Rich reflects these and on his early writings, revealing that his first short story was crafted during a class led by the esteemed Nevada writer Bob Laxalt.The podcast concludes with sage advice from Rich to all authors on the traditional publishing process: "Read the contract."Tales from the Nevada Ether is available through Amazon and Dragon Crown Books. You can find Rich at his website and Facebook.+++Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC & JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of Two Moore Books, LLC out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.

Happy Labor Day weekend! Welcome back to a brand new season of For the Love of Books Podcast. Lowell-based author Jeff Ostrander relied heavily on the past as his main character in Womb of Souls is portrayed by protagonist Abraham Marsh. The inciting incident to create the novel was a scene of a dad running into a burning cabin to save his family while getting seriously injured. Sponsored by Jeff Ostrander, Moravian Sons Distillery and Doc Chavent. “I saw a picture in my mind of a father running into a burning house to save his kids. I knew he came out terribly hurt, but the rest I had to learn as the story progressed,” Ostrander said. “It was interesting to consider what would happen to a strong, handsome young man who suddenly found himself a weak, disfigured and lonely man. Does the value of life remain when all that brought him joy was torn away?” Listen in  for a chance to win a signed copy of Womb of Souls. Copyright (c)2026 Emma Bllogs, LLC.  All rights reserved.  

Send us Fan MailPenn Cole returns to Besties and the Books Podcast returns to Besties to prepare us for all things Burn of the EverFlame! The final installation in her New York Times bestselling Kindred's Curse Saga drops EVERYWHERE on September 8th! That means that exactly one short week from today we will all know how Diem and Luther's journey ends… for better or for worse. How high on The Cryometer™ should you expect to get? We'll tell ya! This interview is completely spoiler free so we hope that it gets you excited for book four, and if you're new here, or to this series, that it'll encourage you to go pick it up! We have deep dives on Spark, Glow, AND Heat if you need a refresher, and a previous Penn Cole interview in which we ask her completely different questions than the ones we dive into today! Today we'll talk about how Penn handled the pressure to get this book out, how Burn is different than the previous three books, what the overarching themes and tropes are, and the unexpected POV's! Penn explains how important redemption and growth are to this story and how the heroine's journey often can look very different from the hero's experience, and why this is important. We also get the tea on whether or not this story is truly finished, what's next on Penn's horizon, and… the Hulu adaptation! Stick around for all of this, PLUS an unexpected smash or pass, Penn Cole style. And make sure to follow Penn @authorpenncole and at PennCole.com!

There may even be a costume. Check out video/podcast, and keep tuned to this space for more details. It is available for pre-order right now across numerous platforms, including Amazon.We again expressed our gratitude to the Churchill County Library where CC gave an author talk about her books and answered questions about BBB. We also thank Rob at Bub's Bookstore in Carson City for not only carrying and selling our books, but also for allowing me to sign books for customers who happened to be there while Rob and I were talking business.

For today's podcast, we had an organized agenda (really!), then the last twenty-four hours happened.The Hawk Fire started on the slopes of Peavine Mountain in the immediate northwest region of Reno, and the winds drove it in all directions, including towards our daughter's home and place of business. We were on the edge of our seats all of yesterday until she made the wise decision to evacuate herself and her three cats. When we woke up this morning, we saw the fire had reached US Highway 395. Oof. Our prayers and strength to all affected.While this was unfolding, I remembered the Nevada Appeal's "Best of Carson 2026" contest had ended last week. We did not receive an invitation to the awards ceremony, so we assumed we had lost. I wondered where we placed...and found that we had won our category. Uh, wow. We were voted as the "Most Unique Business" in the Nevada Appeal's Best of Carson City 2026 Contest. Huh. Go figure. One of the nice things about this contest is the local visibility.

In this episode of the Nevada Author Network, we delve into the creative journey of Ken Sutherland, a celebrated author and member of the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame. After a 53-year career in broadcasting, Ken transitioned into the world of writing, where he found his true passion. Ken's writing career began unexpectedly during his time as a disc jockey. Surrounded by seasoned professionals with deep voices, he felt the need to stand out. "I figured if I was gonna keep a job, I would have to say something clever," he shares. This cleverness translated into writing, leading him to craft over 40,000 commercials and eventually, a series of novels. Ken's first novel, *Heartbreaker*, took nearly two decades to come to life. Originally set in the 90s, he realized it had to be reimagined in the 70s to resonate with the story's essence. The protagonist, a retired LAPD detective, navigates the turbulent music scene of that era after the tragic death of his pop star daughter. This rich backdrop adds depth to Ken's narrative, showing how the past influences the present in unexpected ways.You can learn more about Ken at his website: https://kensutherlandauthor.com/He's on Facebook, too. +++Cassidy Carson and JT Hume (“CC & JT”) are independent writers, publishers, and co-owners of Two Moore Books, LLC out of Carson City, Nevada, USA.

Let's talk about Lawrence Kasdan's 1981 salute to the film noir genre: Body Heat. William Hurt plays a lustful, and frankly not very bright, lawyer who gets seduced into murdering a rich woman's husband, only to discover he may have been the one being played all along. Kathleen Turner is the femme fatale who uses her body to turn off Hurt's upper brain to have him do her bidding.We saw this film in 1981 and in 2026, and it hit us differently in our sixties than it did when we first saw it during another Carson City heat wave. In fact, we didn't finish it last night. We explain why. As an aside, we thoroughly spoil this forty-five year old classic.We toured three local independant books stores: Thistle and Nightshade, Between the Covers, and Bub's Bookstore. We had fun and we spent money. We discuss each in the podcast.We salute those on the front lines of the Bug Fire and those frontline workers at your favorite dining establishment (good morning, Jack!).Please consider voting for us as “America's Favorite Couple,” and maybe donate a little pocket change to the two worthy charities connected to this contest. We've gotten quite a bit of local exposure from this contest and we hope to keep that going.Our two latest releases are on our bookstore and the platforms, starting for “#HauntSeason,” the sequel to “#PassionRestored,” a heartfelt supernatural romance that blends eerie paranormal mystery with the enduring strength of love. The most recent entry in the “Salvation Universe” is “Defying Salvation,” the sequel to “Finding Salvation,” a thought-provoking science fiction thriller that explores faith, survival, and the cost of humanity's future. Appearances:– August 25: CC will be doing an author talk at the Churchill County Library.– September 19: We will be at Reno Pagan Pride Project at Idlewild Park.– October: many events. More information as we get closer.That's all for now. Take care of you.

In this episode of The Englewood Review of Books Podcast, Lindsey Cornett, the Managing Editor of Englewood Press and Assistant Editor of The ERB, is joined by children's book authors, Dana VanderLugt and Karina Yan Glaser. They address the role of storytelling and imagination in a life of faith and the sometimes surprising ways faith and spirituality show up in children's literature, with a particular emphasis on life in community and the challenge of loving our enemies. They talk about the tension between marketing books for children when they can, in fact, be enjoyed and appreciated by all readers. Finally, Lindsey, Dana, and Karina discuss some of their favorite contemporary middle grade readers and offer recommendations for anyone needing stories of hope, faith, and love.Dana VanderLugt is a writer and teacher who descends from a family of Michigan apple growers and storytellers. Her first book, Enemies in the Orchard: A World War 2 Novel in Verse was published by Zonderkidz in September 2023. The middle grades novel is based on the stories of German POWs who came to work on her grandfather's orchard during the 1940s. Dana's work has been published in Longridge Review, Relief: A Journal of Art & Faith, the Michigan Reading Journal, and The Reformed Journal, where she is also a frequent contributor on its daily blog. A former middle school English teacher, Dana now works as a literacy consultant and has an MFA in Creative Writing from The Sena Jeter Naslund-Karen Mann Graduate School of Writing at Spalding University. She lives in Michigan with her husband, three sons, and a spoiled Golden Retriever. And yes, she makes a mean apple pie.Karina Yan Glaser is a Newbery Honoree and a New York Times bestselling author and illustrator. Originally from California, Karina came to New York City for college and has stuck around for nearly thirty years. She has had a varied career teaching and implementing literacy programs in family homeless shelters and recruiting healthcare professionals to volunteer in under resourced areas around the world. One of her proudest achievements is raising two kids who can't go anywhere without a book. She lives in Harlem with her husband, two teenagers, two dogs, three cats, and a fish named Gustav. Books Mentioned in this EpisodeIf you'd like to order any of the following books, we encourage you to do so from Hearts and Minds Books (An independent bookstore in Dallastown, PA, run by Byron and Beth Borger) By Dana VanderLugt:Enemies in the Orchard: A WW2 Novel in VerseBy Karina Yan Glaser:The Vanderbeekers of 141st StreetThe Vanderbeekers Ever After (Book #7 in The Vanderbeekers Series)The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli Other Books Mentioned: The Wednesday Wars by Gary SchmidtOkay for Now by Gary SchmidtOrbiting Jupiter by Gary SchmidtThe Labors of Hercules Beal by Gary SchmidtThe Teacher of Nomad Land by Daniel NayeriHome of the Brave by Katherine Applegate Birdie by Eileen SpinelliBrown Girl Dreaming by Jaqueline WoodsonThe Unselected Journals of Emma M.

Today Nahum Justin Vizakis joins me to talk all about biohacking, finding himself after a near death encounter in combat, timeline shifting and how bodybuilding helped him find his spiritual center. This is a fascinating episode that spans multiple different spiritual thoughts and shows you how you can find your own spiritual center amidst hardship. Nahum is an international award-winning author, combat veteran, bodybuilder, and plant medicine facilitator. He bridges high-performance training with emotional regulation, identity work, and expanded awareness. In his new book, The Biohacker's Guide to Spiritual Bodybuilding, he brings a blend of fitness, biohacking, mindset training, and plant medicine together to help people build stronger bodies and more resilient nervous systems while exploring conscious, science-grounded approaches to healing and transformation. Today Nahum and I are going to talk all about how he got to this place of spiritual transformation and how you can too. ***************Nahum's Links: • Instagram: https://instagram.com/Spiritual_Bodybuilder• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritualBodybuilder• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OptimizingHuman Books:• The Biohacker's Guide to Spiritual Bodybuilding: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSF59FSR• The Indigo Flame: https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/868497-the-indigo-flameNahum's Books:Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spiritual-bodybuilder-strength-soul/id1849514586Find Us:Instagram:@jacquelinebrubaker@loveyouevenmorepodcast @SpiritualBodybuilder  TikTok:@thejacquelinebrubaker@loveyouevenmorepodcastWebsite:https://loveyouevenmore.com/https://www.jackiebrubaker.com/https://www.spiritualbodybuilder.com/aboutIf you enjoy romantic coming-of-age stories filled with heart, ambition, and the highs and lows of chasing a music career, That Girl is the perfect beach read.

Today we are joined by author Tessa Yang whose debut published novel The Jellyfish Problem instantly captivated Ellyn and Amanda. Most you know if it's got a touch of monster and magical realism it's likely to have that special sauce and become a Dog-Eared favorite.  For as long as she can remember, two things have been fundamentally true about Jo Ness: she is fascinated by jellyfish, and she is misunderstood by most people. The Jellyfish Problem is a story about coming to terms with grief, about trusting others and finding community, and about the interconnectedness of us all. Ellyn and Amanda adore it.

Today we are joined by the incredible Paige Lewis, author of the debut novel Canon. An instant Dog-Eared favorite, Amanda and Ellyn were so excited to choose it as a subscription pick and to have Paige on the podcast. We are also joined today by Bookseller Mariah who describes Canon as a story with a playfulness that is undeniably modern and a weightier sensibility reminiscent of any classic, Lewis's debut novel was stunning and delightful. . Full of strange and unexpected parts, readers might feel melancholic and hopeful in near equal measure. But the storm does always break and the dawn does always come and Lewis ultimately invites the reader to celebrate a future than we can (and must!) imagine together.

Dear Julia Langbein, we are honored to have you grace us with your presence on the Bubbles & Books podcast. We are not worthy of such greatness, but are incredibly glad to be discussing your new novel Dear Monica Lewinsky. Your masterful storytelling has once again brought a top-tier book to our shelves.  Truly, we are so excited to have one of our favorite authors Julia Langbein back on Bubbles & Books. We first fell in love with her book American Mermaid and couldn't wait for what she wrote next. We hope you love Julia and her stories as much as we do.
