Author, Poet, Screenwriter, and speaker Sarah Archer is joining Fika with Vicky this week for one of our Classic Conversations. This week we're focussing on the classic Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus which was written by Mary Shelley in 1818. There will be scandal, heart wrenching realities, lost love, and unwise loves. (Yes, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron, I'm pointing at you.) And all that's before we even get to the novel. Please join us as we look into this work, by a 19 year old, that still has us enthralled over 200 years later. About Sarah Archer - Sarah Archer's debut novel, The Plus One, was published by Putnam in the US and received a starred review from Booklist. It has also been published in the UK, Germany, and Japan, and is currently in development for the screen. As a screenwriter, she has developed material for MTV Entertainment, Snapchat, and Comedy Central. She is a Black List Screenwriting Lab fellow who has placed in competitions including the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship, the Tracking Board's Launch Pad, and the Austin Film Festival. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous literary magazines, nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and reached the finals of the Doris Betts Fiction Prize. She has spoken and taught on writing to groups in several states and countries, and interviewed authors around the world as a co-host of the award-winning Charlotte Readers Podcast. You can find her online at saraharcherwrites.com. About Fika with Vicky - Eternally curious about life, Vicky learned early that answers could be found in stories. Whether those stories were tales of ghosts told by her grandmother or read on Romper Room with milk and cookies, she found herself transported to other worlds. Reading to her own children, she developed an appreciation for picture books, and the illustrations that accompanied them. It was then that she realized great truths could be found with the simplest of words, and that children's books are not only for children. Through their reading she saw how vast the Juvenile and Young Adult genres had become, and the way in which they brought understanding to difficult topics. Having written her own stories, in Stick to the Story the Book, Vicky began to be interviewed. And that's when everything clicked. The idea that she could speak to the people behind the stories she loved, and learn more about them, was too tempting to ignore. Fika with Vicky was born in 2019, and with it a desire to share her passion for used book stores on rainy afternoons, folklore and fairytales, and those moments when an author solidifies all you've been thinking in one sentence. https://www.facebook.com/FikawithVicky

Visiting from Concord, North Carolina, our guest this week is author Sarah Archer.   There's something earthy, twisty, and impactive about Sarah's writing. I actually laughed out loud, while reading The Plus One, and yet her poem Salem has inspired the mantra, “Those bearing stones will not crush me,” for a certain type of day.  Sarah Archer's debut novel, The Plus One, was published by Putnam in the US and received a starred review from Booklist. It has also been published in the UK, Germany, and Japan, and is currently in development for television. As a screenwriter, she has developed material for MTV Entertainment, Snapchat, and Comedy Central. She is a Black List Screenwriting Lab fellow who has placed in competitions including the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship and the Tracking Board's Launch Pad. Her short stories and poetry have been published in numerous literary magazines, and she has spoken and taught on writing to groups in several states and countries. She is also a co-host of the award-winning Charlotte Readers Podcast. No, I haven't found the exact word to describe Sarah's writing, but I am willing to keep reading her work until I do. I believe this is one of those, “It's all about the journey,” things.

On this episode, the boys spoke with local writer and host of the Charlotte Readers Podcast, Landis Wade, about his podcast, writing process and new novel, Deadly Declarations. The guys also shared some cheers and jeers and staying up late led to some interesting conversations.

This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by Landis Wade, host of the Charlotte Readers Podcast and author of Deadly Declarations, which is published by our friends at Lystra Books and Literary Services.  Topics of conversation include Charlotte's literary history, the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence, George Washington, insomnia, book collections, John Grisham, what it means to be a "New South" city, and much more.  Signed copies of Deadly Declarations can be ordered here with FREE SHIPPING.

In this episode 290, we visit with USA Today bestselling author Maureen A. Miller, author of “Frozen Agenda,” a High-Risk Agenda novel. A strange coin leads two strangers on a daring journey to an uncharted island, because someone is being followed and it has something to do with the coin. Archeology professor by day and a collector of coins by night, Zach Selmon was puzzled by this piece of silver and concerned about the old friend who sent it. Art grad student, Gretchen Rice, was engrossed in studies when an armed man appeared in the library and threatens her, demanding to know, "Where is the coin?" Zach and Gretchen collide in the hallway, an encounter that pits them together in a race to determine the origin of the coin. They are being hunted. They are falling in love.

In this episode 291, we visit with Meredith Ritchie, author of “Poster Girls,” set in 1943, at Charlotte's largest wartime employer––the massive and dangerous Shell Assembly Plant. Told from two perspectives, Poster Girls is driven by the true but forgotten events and accomplishments of a diverse group of American women. Military wives and mothers, Maggie Slone and Kora Bell, one white and one black, work together to unify the plant's workforce, support their families, and bring their husbands home. Paula Martinac, author of “The Ada Decades” and “Testimony” says, “Poster Girls by Meredith Ritchie celebrates the resilience and camaraderie of female munitions workers in Charlotte, N.C., during World War II. You'll root for these finely crafted characters as they confront the limits placed on women, white and black, and uncover their own hidden skills and ingenuity. A stirring historical novel.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

In this episode 289, we visit with Jennifer Dasal, author of “Art Curious: Stories of the Unexpected, Slightly Odd, and Strangely Wonderful in Art History.” ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the world's great artists and masterpieces. We're all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Gogh's suicide, you may not be aware that there's pretty compelling evidence that the artist didn't die by his own hand but was accidentally killed--or even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedy's moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings? Publishers Weekly says in its Starred Review, “Dasal reveals in this entertaining survey the weird, wacky, and unbelievable backstories of some of the world's greatest artists and most famous works of art. . . . Both art aficionados and novices will find something to appreciate in this offbeat and informative outing.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

In this episode 288, we visit with Cliff Yeargin author of “Sweet Tater Tango,” the fifth book in the Jake Eliam Chickenbone Mystery Series. The ChickenBone Mystery series features a former baseball player, turned reluctant PI, Jake Eliam and his best friend and benefactor, Bobby ‘Catfish' Wilson, former college football hero and owner of The 3 Pigs BBQ. In “Sweet Tater Tango,” The Southern Nights Baseball League needs investors, so Catfish switches sports to become part owner of the Tully City TaterHeads. Despite sensing a bad mojo, Jake signs on as Manager for a fat paycheck. The brains behind the league, Billy Bonz, cares more about pig races, ticket gate monkeys and beer nights than baseball. During the biggest promotion of the summer, a legendary car from a famous TV Show barrels through the outfield fence and disappears into the night. Jake is forced to lead a new team to find the expensive ride or nobody will earn a penny.

In this episode 287, we visit with David Rudolf, author of “American Injustice: Inside Stories From the Underbelly of The Criminal Justice System.” David draws from his years of experience as a defense attorney in the American criminal legal system to shed light on the misconduct that exists at all levels of law enforcement and the tragic consequences that follow in its wake. The book includes new details from the Michael Peterson trial made famous in Netflix's “The Staircase” and takes the reader inside crime scenes to examine forensic evidence left by perpetrators; revisits unsolved murders to detail how and why the true culprits were never prosecuted; reveals how confirmation bias leads police and prosecutors to employ tactics that make wrongful arrests and prosecutions more likely; and exposes how poverty and racism fundamentally distort the system. Kirkus Reviews says that “American Injustice” is a “stellar–and often shocking–report on a broken criminal justice system.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

In this episode 286, we visit with Halli Gomez, author of “List of Ten,” where the number that dictates the young protagonist's life is also the number on the list that will end it. Ten: three little letters, one ordinary number. No big deal, right? But for Troy Hayes, a 16-year-old suffering from Tourette Syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the number ten dictates his life, forcing him to do everything by its exacting rhythm. Finally, fed up with the daily humiliation, loneliness, and physical pain he endures, Troy writes a list of ten things to do by the tenth anniversary of his diagnosis—culminating in suicide on the actual day. “List of Ten” is the Recipient of the 2021 NC Young People's Literature Award and Nominee for the 2022 Young Adult Library Services Association Best Fiction for Young Adults. Kirkus describes the novel as “an authentic and compassionate look at the ups and down of teenage life and living with Tourette syndrome," and Nicole Lesperance, author of The Wide Starlight and The Nightmare Thief, says: “"I'm just... wrecked. It's a stunning, difficult, powerful, heartfelt book, and it made me cry."

He then booked bands for a living, opened a private music club called Music With Friends and then Middle C Jazz Club in uptown Charlotte. And he ended up with musical stories to tell that he shares in this book. Songwriter and singer Darius Rucker had this to say about the book: “Larry's memoir is filled with memories of a lifetime.

When her elderly patients start dying at home days after minor surgery, anesthesiologist Dr. Kate Downey wants to know why.

The stakes escalate to the breaking point when Kate, under violent duress, is forced to choose which of her loved ones to save—and which must be sacrificed. Steve Berry, New York Times Bestselling Author, says this about the book, “Tense and fulfilling, there's plenty of sizzle and emotional clout in this stirring debut. And, even better, it's all written by someone who knows what she's talking about. A wonderful beginning and I'm looking forward to more.” And Kathy Reichs, New York Times best-selling author of the Temperance Brennan Bones series, says: “Medical suspense as sharp as it gets.

In this episode 285, we visit with Larry Farber, author of “Noted Memories – How A Kid From Charlotte Had A Moment With Tony, Aretha, Bonnie, Sheryl And More.” That's Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow. Larry grew up playing in bands, performing at weddings and parties. He then booked bands for a living, opened a private music club called Music With Friends and then Middle C Jazz Club in uptown Charlotte. And he ended up with musical stories to tell that he shares in this book. Songwriter and singer Darius Rucker had this to say about the book: “Larry's memoir is filled with memories of a lifetime. Many are funny. But in his story, I hope readers appreciate the more serious side of his calling. Larry is an ambassador for harmony.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

In this episode 284, we visit with Tammy Euliano, author of “Fatal Intent,” a medical thriller. When her elderly patients start dying at home days after minor surgery, anesthesiologist Dr. Kate Downey wants to know why. As she comes closer to exposing the culprit's identity, Kate faces professional intimidation, threats to her life, a home invasion, and, tragically, the suspicious death of someone close to her. The stakes escalate to the breaking point when Kate, under violent duress, is forced to choose which of her loved ones to save—and which must be sacrificed. Steve Berry, New York Times Bestselling Author, says this about the book, “Tense and fulfilling, there's plenty of sizzle and emotional clout in this stirring debut. And, even better, it's all written by someone who knows what she's talking about. A wonderful beginning and I'm looking forward to more.” And Kathy Reichs, New York Times best-selling author of the Temperance Brennan Bones series, says: “Medical suspense as sharp as it gets. Euliano is off to a good, no, a brilliant start.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

In this episode 283, we visit with Roland Beckerman, author of “Seeking Justice,” a fictional story based on the author's real life experience. This story involves a medical journey regarding a serious illness that led to a medical procedure and then a lawsuit about that procedure that ended up in a trial. The book guides the reader through the physical and mental challenges resulting from the patient's surgery and the ups and downs of his attempt to challenge the doctor in court. Roy Wiggins, a North Carolina judge, says this about the book: “I was glued to the story after the first paragraph. I was truly inspired by Mr. Beckerman's perseverance through overwhelming physical, emotional and legal hurdles.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

https://landiswade.com/ (Landis Wade) describes himself as a "recovering trial lawyer" who, after a distinguished career in law, has thrown himself into podcasting and writing. As host of the https://charlottereaderspodcast.com/ (Charlotte Readers Podcast), Landis speaks with authors about their works and process. His new novel, https://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Declarations-Indie-Retirement-Mystery-ebook/dp/B09KYB5FT5 (Deadly Declarations), is a legal thriller in which attorney Craig Travail finds himself reluctantly dragged into controversy and intrigue surrounding the real-life mystery of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. Set in a retirement community, Deadly Declarations touches on themes of aging and vitality as its colorful characters are swept up in a historical adventure.

In this episode 280, we visit with Barry Swanson, author of “Still Points,” where even in the midst of tragedy, there is hope, and even in the midst of war, there is love. Based upon the World War II diaries of the real Philip Zumwalt, this debut novel is a bittersweet tale of the transcendent power of love and reminds us of the immense sacrifices made by the men and women of that era. Kathleen Barber, author of Truth Be Told, now an Apple TV+ series, and Follow Me, had this to say about the book: “Barry Swanson's immersive debut is at once a tender romance, an insightful coming-of-age story, and an unflinching look at the realities of war. Swanson grabs the reader from the first page and keeps them in his thrall as he brings the characters and settings to vivid life. Both uplifting and heartbreaking, STILL POINTS is a book you won't soon forget.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. #CharlotteReadersPodcast #podcast #literary #literature #instabooks #goodreads #bookstagram #booklover #amreading #bookreview #bookaddict #bookclub #bookobsessed #booknerd #bookaholic #booklife #bookworm #bookgram #booktography #bookblogger #totalbooknerd #bookishfeatures #creativenonfiction #tellyourstory #podcaster #exploreclt #cltagenda #charlotteagenda #704 #cltiscreative #authorsontheair #queencitypodcastnetwork © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network
