The Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series is a blockbuster success by any measure. Celebrated author Peter James created a rich character in Grace--a detective with an unsolved mystery of his own. For years, fans have speculated on what happened to the detective's wife, Sandy. She simply vanished. The latest novel from the CWA Diamond Dagger Award winner finally gives us some answers. Join Peter James as he discusses They Thought I Was Dead with James L'Etoile for Authors on the Air. The story is a great standalone if you haven't devoured the Roy Grace series. And If you haven't, Sandy's story might be your gateway drug.

Join us in a lively conversation with debut author M Hendrix, whose book The Chaperone came out this year with Sourcebooks! From finding an agent and pitching your book during the pandemic, finding hope in dystopian novels, and making YA fun for teens to read, we cover this and more! M Hendrix (she/her) is the author of The Chaperone, published by Sourcebooks Fire on June 6, 2023. M earned her bachelor's degree in journalism at Indiana University before studying literature and creative writing in graduate school, receiving her master's degree from Miami University and her doctorate from the University of Cincinnati, where she was a Taft Fellow. She has been nominated five times for the Pushcart Prize and was shortlisted for the Aesthetica creative writing award. She has also served on the SCBWI Midsouth conference committee.

Born in Baltimore and raised in New Jersey, M has lived in twelve states, visited all of the lower 48, and now resides in Bowling Green, Kentucky, with her husband, New York Times bestselling suspense novelist David Bell. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has bestowed on her its highest honor, that of Kentucky Colonel.

Hour 2: Jason welcomed Jill Holder from Wedge Co-op on DeRusha Eats. Then he talked to Chris Hewitt from the Star Tribune about dead authors becoming publishing "brands".

Chris Hewitt is the interim Book Editor at the Star Tribune and wrote an interesting story on why so many dead authors have become "brands" that are still being published. He joined Jason to discuss.

Trauma is scary. Of course we adoptees have been through trauma and experience it when triggered. So we desperately want it gone. We want to be FROM trauma. But what we focus on gets bigger and what we resist persists. What if we could be free WITH it?

We didn't ghost you, dear listeners. Marlon had a novel to finish, which Jake had to edit. But the good news is it's officially out in the world, and so before Marlon—the very living author—takes off on his whirlwind book tour, he and Jake are back together for a brief (but delicious) reunion of discussing what they love most: DEAD AUTHORS. We'll be back for season three later this spring, but until then, stayed tuned for an amuse bouche, a canapé, an appetizer—take your pick!—to the glorious meal on the horizon.

Topics covered: Activision Blizzard lawsuit update and it's just getting worse, Author not ok with dead authors being on the shelves of book stores more then hers, Fox News not happy Gonzo wore a dress, Candice Owens hates the Muppets because they are not manly enough, Fillion Pavillion & petition.       

Prepare for what might be Marlon & Jake's most controversial hot takes yet, as they travel back through the last four hundred years to decide which dead authors from each century stand the test of time and which can be left to gather dust on the shelf.  Where do they fall on Paradise Lost?  Who triumphs in the battle of the poets v. novelists of the 18th century? How much has the 1930s Hollywood studio system shaped classic stories?  Which of them stans Huckleberry Finn, and who thinks it might be overrated?  Marlon & Jake answer these questions and more as they discuss the timeless work of the freaky, the rebellious and the groundbreaking. From Mary Shelley to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Paul Laurence Dunbar to Daphne du Maurier—with a healthy dose of Alexander Pope-dissing—tune in to find out where you stand with their picks. The Tale of Genji by Murasaki ShikibuThe Adventures of Amir Hamza by Ghalib Lakhnavi and Abdullah BilgramiParadise Lost by John MiltonThe Faerie Queene by Edmund SpenserThe Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer The Provoked Wife by John VanbrughFrankenstein by Mary ShelleyMathilda by Mary ShelleyThe Last Man by Mary ShelleyThe Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann RadcliffeNorthanger Abbey by Jane AustenThe Complete Poems of William BlakeRobinson Crusoe by Daniel DefoeMoll Flanders by Daniel DefoePamela by Samuel RichardsonBleak House by Charles DickensNana by Émile ZolaGerminal by Émile ZolaAdventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark TwainThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark TwainThe Complete Poems of Paul Laurence DunbarI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya AngelouThe Awakening by Kate Chopin“The Story of an Hour” by Kate ChopinA Study in Scarlet by Arthur Conan DoyleForest of A Thousand Daemons by D.O.

We've heard them rave about their favorites and rant about their least favorites, but Marlon and Jake reveal in this episode their second favorite books by dead authors: the books they love that are the runners-up to the #1 spots in their hearts. From Amos Tutuola to Gabriel García Márquez to John le Carré and more, Marlon and Jake explore why one's favorite book by an author might not always be their best book, what separates an intellectual vs. an emotional response to a book, and the importance of being a promiscuous reader. (That's right, promiscuous.) And what is the next book by a dead author Marlon and Jake will be reading together for the first time? Tune in to find out!Select Titles Discussed:Hamlet by William ShakespeareMacbeth by William ShakespeareA House for Mr. Biswas by V.S. NaipaulDarkness Visible by William GoldingLord of the Flies by William GoldingShardik by Richard AdamsWatership Down by Richard AdamsThe Palm-Wine Drinkard by Amos TutuolaMy Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Amos TutuolaOne Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García MárquezLove in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García MárquezUnder the Volcano by Malcolm LowryShōgun by James ClavellAirport by Arthur HaileyThe Moneychangers by Arthur HaileyThe Spy Who Came In From the Cold by John le CarréTinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le CarréThe Honorable Schoolboy by John le CarréSmiley's People by John le CarréA Perfect Spy by John le CarréPersuasion by Jane AustenPride and Prejudice by Jane AustenSula by Toni MorrisonSong of Solomon by Toni MorrisonPnin by Vladimir NabokovThe House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel HawthorneThe Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel HawthorneMiddlemarch by George EliotTom Jones by Henry FieldingGreat Expectations by Charles DickensBleak House by Charles DickensBarchester Towers by Anthony TrollopeGone with the Wind by Margaret MitchellBlood on the Forge by William AttawayMy Life and Hard Times by James Thurber

Marlon and Jake are back-this time to discuss which dead author they'd take with them to a desert island to reread over and over again-as well as which ones they'd happily leave lost at sea. From the Jamaica of Wide Sargasso Sea to the lonely New England of Shirley Jackson, Marlon and Jake get fired up over the books they vehemently love and the ones they equally hate. Marlon explores his complicated love for James Clavell and the underappreciated wisdom of Pride & Prejudice's Charlotte Lucas, while Jake (unsuccessfully) attempts to convince Marlon that Agatha Christie is, in fact, not overrated. One thing they actually agree on? That would be their passionate disdain for Wuthering Heights-and it's not pretty-so Emily Bronte lovers, consider yourselves warned! Included Titles: Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Death Comes to Pemberley by P.D. James We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson Great Expectations by Charles Dickens A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll Raising Demons by Shirley Jackson Shogun by James Clavell Tai-Pan by James Clavell And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

Bill interviews one of his favorite comedians and favorite people in general, Mr. Paul F. Tompkins. Besides being a brilliant stand-up, PFT is a a veteran of many great shows such as Bojack Horseman, Mr. Show, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, Comedy Bang Bang, Best Week Ever, plus his own podcasts including Spontaneanation and Dead Authors. They chat about Paul's early years, comedy, clothes, politics, therapy, and life itself!

The pals discuss the surge in popularity for an author's books immediately following his/her death.

Tonight, on a very special episode of Warped, it's the FINAL EPISODE of Star Trek's Original Series. We're having technical difficulties, because of course we are, and we're just rolling with it. Science fiction's freakiest of Fridays has a guest actor driving a Ferrari on surface streets. In the land of the hotties, the uggo is King/Queen. We wish Screenie a fond farewell and celebrate it the best way we know how: inanimate object FMK. Philippe takes some parting shots at Maroon 5. Jake makes everyone feel bad about their musical theater knowledge in our new sing-along quiz. It wouldn't be a celebration if we didn't point out all our mistakes in Correction Corner. Included in our recommendations this week are Dead Authors, The Wire, Black Ocean, and Garfield. Take care of your slow lorises, good listeners. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we have one MASSIVE show for you! With not just one live guest but two!

Chapter 50: In this final installment of the free monthly podcast, H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes author/showman loud person L. Frank Baum (Chris Tallman) to the Dead Authors stage.

A print interview I did about the show. I figured I'd post it here. The link no longer works, but here it is for you, to read. Please check it out. New episode coming in a day or two. Always. Or a week or two. When did you first start listening to podcasts and what was/were the first podcast(s) that you listened to? In 2005, I heard about podcasts. I discovered a show called Fanboy Radio and it piqued my interest. The first podcast I actually listened to was Comic Geek Speak. I had heard about Ricky Gervais, and about podcasts but did not know where to find them. I downloaded the Yahoo Podcatcher, which was a big unwieldy thing that took over my computer. Once I learned how I-tunes worked, I was hooked. What are some of your current favorite podcasts that you listen to and why? I am a huge comedy nerd, as well as an Anglophile. So I listen to tons of comedy, plus a bunch of soccer shows from the UK. I listen to most of the Earwolf shows. Comedy Bang Bang, etc. Kevin Smith’s Smodcast is great. It’s usually a sort of fluid list. I’m always looking for something new to check out, but I’m kind of picky. Since it is soccer season currently, I listen to the football shows from the UK first. BBC 606 is the best, it is a phone in show with opinions from fans instead of pundits. The BBC shows, most British shows, are the only ones that originate as radio shows first. Mostly I stick with strictly podcasts. Here’s my list: Uhh Yeah Dude, The Dollop, Doug Loves Movies, Football Weekly, I Was There Too, Greg Proops Film Club, 5 live World Football Phone-in, Hollywood Babylon, Monday Morning Podcast, 606 Football Phone in, Spontaneanation, 5 live Football Daily, Mysteries Abound, Improv4Humans, Stuff You Should Know, Who Charted, Second Captains, WTF, Danny Baker Show, Smodcast, Dead Authors, How Did This Get Made, The Bugle, Comedy Bang Bang, 7 Day Saturday, Steve Austin Show, The Smartest Man in the World, Useless Information Podcast. On what device(s) and app(s) do you listen to podcasts and why do you choose that/those device(s) and app(s)? I download them on I-Tunes and listen on my I-phone. It used to be my I-pod shuffle, but since I got the phone, it’s all in one. I host my podcast on Podomatic.com which has a great free hosting service. Although, I am reaching my storage and bandwidth limits and will have to pay the Pro fee soon. I hear you can host free on Libsyn, or Google Drive, but I haven’t looked into any of that yet. I kind of podcast in a vacuum in that I don’t know anyone else who does it or could offer tips, so I plug along as I can. When and why did you decide to become a podcaster? I did my first podcast in late 2005. It was called Gabe’s Superhero Show, then my wife and I did Comics and More with Gabe and Mandy. Superhero Show went 13 episodes and then my daughter was born and I had no time to podcast. Comics and More was just a couple of episodes, my wife wasn’t really into it. It took several years to get into it again with Hollywood Scandals of Yesteryear, and I’m at episode 16, trying to stay on a regular schedule. I was just captivated by the medium, and felt the need to broadcast about something. Anything. As a podcaster, do you have any influences (they don't have to be from the podcasting world)? Kevin Smith was and is a huge influence. He is always professing his love of podcasting and suggesting people record their own shows about the things that they are passionate about. Beyond that, all of the podcasters that I listen to influence me in various ways, to try to be funny, or interesting, or keep it short, etc. The guys who do solo podcasts, like Bill Burr, Greg Proops, etc. I am not comparing myself to either of these great talents, but I aspire to do an interesting show on my own. No one wants to listen to me blather on for an hour or more, but these guys can do a stream of consciousness show that is entertaining, interesting, and informative as well. The Danny Baker Show from England is inspirational to me, just from Danny’s delivery and turn of phrase. He is a professional broadcaster with years of experience and his call in show is about random slice of life things. I would like to say that when Tig Notaro discussed her various illnesses and issues on her podcast, Professor Blastoff, I felt like my friend was sick and I cried like a baby. Conversely, when Kevin Smith read his old journal entries in the Emo Kev episodes of Smodcast, I had to pull the car over because I was laughing so hard, tears literally streaming down my face. These two examples show the power of podcasts, to touch people and to entertain people in a very personal way, and that’s what I love so much about the medium. Discuss your podcast, Hollywood Scandals Of Yesteryear. My show Hollywood Scandals of Yesteryear started out as just what it sounds. Scandals from the early days of Hollywood; sex, drugs, sex. But after a couple of episodes that started to feel a little, I don’t know, like I wasn’t giving these people their due. I would not want to be remembered for the one time I did such and such with so and so. So I changed tack and started profiling the people overall. I still start with or try to find some “scandalous” or juicy bit of information. But it is basically profiles of the Silent Era Celebrities in around 15 minutes. Eventually, I’ll get into the Talkies, but I’m not sure when. How much preparation and what kind of preparation, if any, goes into each episode of Hollywood Scandals Of Yesteryear? Initially, I found a list of celebrities from the 10’s and 20’s who had famous or infamous issues. Then I thought of famous firsts. First overdose, first murder, etc. I’ll hear a name of an early Hollywood star and look them up, see if there’s anything that stands out. As far as research, I look on Wikipedia. Sometimes I’ll check the IMDB, but mostly I just keep it to Wikipedia. It’s all the research I need. On the specials, like the Lost Films, Rediscovered Films, or the upcoming Hayes Code Special, I’ll look a little deeper but I don’t like to get too bogged down. Keep it light. What criteria, if any, do you use to decide who to ask to be a guest on Hollywood Scandals Of Yesteryear? I’m going to keep it guest free, unless someone really wants to do the show with me. I had a bad experience last year with a potential guest. I approached an author who works in the same genre as my podcast. He responded with a laundry list of reasons why he would not appear on my “little show”, not professional, etc. It really sent me into a tail-spin. I did not record a podcast for almost 6 months because of this one person’s opinion. It is absolutely ridiculous to let someone affect you like that, but it just got to me. Not anymore. If someone were to approach me and ask to co-host or be a guest, I would definitely agree. But my show is a very niche show and most people are not that interested. Don’t let people put you off. Just record. Do you have a favorite episode(s) of Hollywood Scandals Of Yesteryear If so, which episode(s) and why? I would have said Fatty Arbuckle, because he got railroaded and people should hear about it. But Douglas Fairbanks stands out now that I think about it. He was just an amazing guy. How amazing? You’ll have to listen to the podcast. Ha! Are you at liberty to discuss any of the Hollywood scandals of yesteryear that you will be discussing on upcoming episodes? The Hays Code is coming up in an episode sometime soon, I think. I think it is Will Hays, not sure of the first name, I’ll check Wikipedia before I record. Anyway, Mr. Hays was a colossal douche who thought films were too racy and enacted, somehow, a code of conduct for the film industry. This was 1930. What are some of your favorite Hollywood scandals of yesteryear and why? I guess I’ll go with the fact that most of the silent films have been lost. That to me is a scandal. Some of these people were big stars and ALL of their films have been lost. We have production stills and whatnot, but they have been erased from the history of their profession. Feel free to shamelessly plug any of your other current or upcoming endeavors here. Just livin’ the dream. When I started podcasting, in the back of my mind, I secretly wanted someone to interview me about podcasting. Now that has happened. Thank you.

Paul F. Tompkins ("Mr. Show," "Best Week Ever") returns for his third solo episode and chats with Cole and Vanessa about Comic Con, Kemosabe the Porcupine, classic cocktails, celebs using Kickstarter, Real Housewives star Teresa Giudice, arms vs. legs, Dick's Last Resort, Speakeasy, the voice of the busy dialtone, Dead Authors podcast, Cat Deeley, a field of Zac Efron, traveling magic acts, flying monkey attacks and Paul's encounter with King of Kong villain Billy Mitchell! Leave your answer to the firsts question (the first time you remember gambling) on our website for a chance to win a Mr. Show DVD signed by Paul!

Chapter 16: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes Gore Vidal (Marc Evan Jackson) who brings a truckload of truculence to the Dead Authors stage. For fans of smug dismissiveness, this episode is a must!

Haven't checked out The Dead Authors Podcast yet? We'll bring it right to you! Featuring our very own Southie! Jen Kirkman guests as Abbie Hoffman. For more information on the Echo Park Time Travel Mart and 826LA, go to 826la.org.

Chapter 11: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes nerd hero/nerd hater J.R.R. Tolkien (Matt Walsh) to the Dead Authors stage. There is, distressingly, as much discussion of Tom Bombadil as you might fear.

Chapter 9: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes the quietly trippy Jorge Luis Borges (Nick Kroll) to the Dead Authors stage. What a night of accents this was!

Chapter 6: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes author, poet, art collector and wake-and-baker Gertrude Stein (John Ross Bowie) to the Dead Authors stage for a convivial discussion of all sorts of things! Poetry: Tedious or just embarrassing? "Recreational" herbs: How much is too much? And The Ladies: Who doesn't love them?

Chapter 4: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes author, inventor, diplomat and party animal Benjamin Franklin (Scott Aukerman) to the Dead Authors stage for an oft-sprited, oft-absurd, and oft-off-kilter discussion about God knows what. It must be heard to be believed, and even after hearing it you should still check three sources.  Ambassador Franklin is a bit of a libertine when it comes to naughty words, so plug your ears up, you bunch of nuns! (Sorry, It's infectious!)

Chapter 3: H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) welcomes Algonquin Round Tabler Dorothy Parker (Jen Kirkman) to the Dead Authors stage. The liquor does flow and the mots are bon! Mrs. Parker's employment of the occasional spicy phrase earns this Chapter its red-letter rating.  Do not listen with your maiden aunt unless a fainting couch stands nearby!
