Explore the ancient wonders of Egypt in this week's podcast episode as we delve into the historical marvels of this captivating country. Join us as we follow a passionate family of avid readers turned intrepid travellers on their journey through the sands of time. Embark on a mesmerizing adventure with our guests, Devika and Nikhil (a couple accompanied by their son on the trip), who have long been enchanted by the mystique of Egypt through the pages of fiction and historical novels. Their anticipation peaks as they set foot in the land of pharaohs, ready to unravel its secrets and immerse themselves in its rich tapestry of history. Their odyssey begins amidst the iconic pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Dahshur, standing as timeless monuments to Egypt's ancient civilization. From there, they venture to the coastal city of Alexandria, where Roman ruins whisper tales of bygone eras, adding another layer to Egypt's storied past. But the true essence of their journey unfolds as they embark on a train voyage across the Nile, traversing the heartland of ancient Egypt. Each stop along the way unveils a new chapter in history—the grand temples of Abu Simbel, Karnak, Edfu, and Kom Ombo bear witness to the grandeur of Egypt's pharaonic dynasties. The Valley of the Kings beckons with its labyrinthine tombs, while Luxor and Hatshepsut's temple stand as testaments to the enduring legacy of Egypt's rulers. As they trace the footsteps of pharaohs and gaze upon the enigmatic mummies and sacred tombs, our travellers are left spellbound by the magnitude of Egypt's historical heritage. And now, fuelled by their insatiable thirst for adventure, they ponder their next destination—one that promises to ignite their passion for history once more.

How much can horror movies from the past entertain a modern audience? Is it possible to appreciate vintage scares or are our expectations simply too high nowadays? Join us as we dissect the horror movie "Madhouse." Initially, we share our raw impressions, which lean towards disappointment, and raise doubts about the performances of once-celebrated horror icons Vincent Price and Peter Cushing. We question the film's initial high rating, suggesting a dearth of comparable films in its release year may be the culprit. We also touch upon the unique challenges horror actors face and the delicate balance necessary to create a believable chilling atmosphere.Strap in as we venture further into the labyrinth of "Madhouse", tearing down the elements that have not withstood the test of time. We critique everything from the film's characters and dialogue to its special effects, attempting to illuminate why the movie, when viewed through a present-day lens, fails to hit its mark. We'll dissect laughably bad spider effects, questionable makeup, and strangely reminiscent opening credits that seem to hark back to old Paramount Studio films. Also on our radar is the character of Elizabeth Peters, and we draw attention to her somewhat inconsequential contribution to the overall plot.In our pursuit of the truth, we dial up the scrutiny. We delve into moments that feel excessive, from the overuse of gloves and slow walking to the incessant screaming. We argue that this film, instead of paying homage to Vincent Price's career, may have inadvertently acted as a nail in his acting coffin. However, we do recognize the film's saving grace - some comedic elements that help lighten the unnerving atmosphere. We also bring up potential actors who could do justice to Vincent Price's role in a biopic and explore the careers of the director and producer of "Madhouse." Join us, as we also sprinkle in some entertaining trivia for good measure! Head to www.screamsandstreams.com for more information related to our episode.

During the global pandemic, Teddy Boucard and Elizabeth Peters took a chance on a vintage bookstore in downtown Lancaster that was weeks away from shutting down. Oddly enough, the bookstore was owned by one of Teddy's former high school teachers, whom Elizabeth and Teddy purchased the business from. Fast forward to 2023, and the Read Rose Bookstore is now one of the most popular bookstores in downtown Lancaster, housing a diverse collection of used, vintage, & first edition books.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Halloween! He's Clare, a baron with a very expensive contractor's bill and a suspicious number of black armbands in his wardrobe. She's Lucy, a sheltered seventeen year old girl with a big inheritance and absolutely no friends anywhere. What a great combination! It's Greygallows by Barbara Michaels, who is also Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Mertz and probably a ton of other names - you may remember that we did an episode on her Devil May Care last year for Halloween, and that book has a guest appearance from the actual Christian devil! Old Scratch! The Father of Lies! The Prince of Darkness! This one, sadly, does not - but it's a delightful read and a great book for spooky season. Fair warning, it includes some extremely realistic and therefore disturbing depictions of spousal abuse, most notably the scariest gaslighting I've seen in a book in a long time but also financial, emotional, and physical abuse with some attempted murder thrown in. It's not gratuitous at all - it's very well done and the heroine's legal helplessness under 19th century British law is definitely a major point of the book, but it is definitely going to hit too close to home for some people.

A  fascinating glimpse into the world of mortuary archaeology with our expert guest, Sarah N Rubin. Sarah, a seasoned archaeologist, takes us on an enlightening journey through the lens of time, sharing her rich experiences from excavations all over the world, from Ohio to Jerusalem. Promising a wealth of intriguing insights, we traverse the boundaries of science, history, culture, and literature in this captivating episode. Eager to decode the mysteries of the past through the study of burials and bones? You're in for a treat. We discuss how the whisperings of the long-departed, from royalty like Tutankhamun to the common man, can unveil a treasure trove of knowledge about ancient cultures. Sarah sheds light on how bones offer clues about age, sex, pathology, and cultural practices. But it's not all smooth sailing - we also delve into the ethical dilemmas and unique hurdles faced in mortuary archaeology. Finally, we turn the spotlight onto literature and how mortuary archaeology has been masterfully woven into the narrative by authors such as Aaron Alkins and Elizabeth Peters. Sarah, who is also an accomplished writer, candidly shares how she incorporates her expertise into her work. For all budding writers out there, we offer a list of valuable resources to help you bring authenticity to your novels through this unique perspective. So sit back, tune in, and let the secrets of the past unfold before you.You can find out more about Sarah and her books at https://linktr.ee/WriterMeRSNRFind out more about Writers' Narrative my brand new free magazine for writers everywhere.

Hey friends! If you've made it here, to the show notes, I hope that means you're in it for the long haul! This was by far our longest recording (I also think it was the funniest).

Starting at 51 Minutes and goes until 1 Hour and 4 Minutes. Oof, so sorry. It just sort of happened. Brooke says “6 feet apart” as opposed to the correct name of the book/movie, which is “Five Feet Apart”. Sorry, she was probably assuming that it's supposed to be 6 feet apart since that was what everyone was supposed to do during the reign of Covid. Theres also a great song by Luke Combs called 6 feet apart that was written during Covid.  4:15 - Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Cleveland, Ohio13:32 - See our Instagram post!

Welcome to spooky season, where we get ghosts in our brains that make us incapable of remembering the name of the book or half of the characters!  So so sorry, "Ted"!  OooooooOOOOOoooo spooooky!  We love Halloween here at Bodice Tipplers so we decided to give you not one but two Halloween books - the first is Devil May Care by Elizabeth Peters.  The second you'll have to wait to find out about - expect it at the end of the month. Ellie is a young... what does she do again?  Anyway a young lady engaged to a twit who housesits for her aunt.  Donald is the neighbor's son.  Some ghosts appear by various means and occupations.  THE DEVIL IS THE DEVIL.   I cannot stress enough how surprised I was by this - the actual devil makes an appearance in this book.  Yes, that is a spoiler.  Don't worry, I already told everybody I know.  THE DEVIL.  Ol' Splitfoot!  Lucifer!  The Adversary!  So, implied is that it has the kind of witchcraft that most of the modern witches I know would not appreciate.  Oh and there's some expected 70's homophobia and a lot of people talk about what's now the Washington Football Team.  Mostly it's the actual devil.  Just when you think these books hold no more surprises for you.  That's when they get you.  (And by they I suppose I mean Asmodeus and Beelzebub and Mephistopheles and....)

En este episodio de nuestro podcast DE TERAPIAS Y TERAPEUTAS hablamos sobre 6 investigaciones que presentan diferentes tipologías de violencia domestica y conducta agresiva en las relaciones íntimas o relaciones intrafamiliares. La conducta violenta puede ser motivada por diferentes razones. Sin embargo, sobre el tema de qué causa la violencia, siempre han prevalecido los postulados de la Teoría Feminista vs. los postulados de la Teoría de Violencia Intrafamiliar. Aquí te presento el modelo del Continuo de Conflicto y Control, propuesto por Carlson y Jones (2010), donde integran los postulados de ambas teorías, basados en la investigación de las Tipologías de Violencia en las Parejas Intimas.

We’ve talked ideas, outlines, writing tips, and more in this writing series. But amid the technical tips, one very important component of writing can get overlooked: love of the craft. If you want to be a writer, you must enjoy writing! I’ve mentioned before that this series is modeled after the writing process of Barbara Mertz a.k.a. Elizabeth Peters. I was able to research her creative process for my Master’s, and do you know what stuck with me more than anything else? How much fun she was having! Of course there were difficult days, but this is a woman who clearly loved her work. Her joy is evident at every stage of the process. In her stream-of -consciousness notes for The Seventh Sinner for instance, she wrote: “The crux of the plot—ha—is the numeral VII, which must come to haunt all the characters, including the heroine, so that when she sees the scrawl in the victim’s blood, it never occurs to her that it could be anything but a number…” I love that little “ha” at the beginning! It’s just so telling. Amelia Peabody, Elizabeth Peters’ primary protagonist, goes so far as to say that paradise would be a continuation of the life she loves with those she loves beside her. A source tells me Mertz felt the same way toward the end of her life. Think about that for a second: that heaven would be a continuation of this life.  How many of us can say that? I think it’d be pretty hard to do if you don't love your work! Whether you want to be a writer or something else, that sense of fun and enjoyment is an incredible goal. The ultimate goal? Making your life so amazing that heaven could be a continuation of the life you’re already living. 

Well hello! If you’re new to Vocabbett, I help students improve their vocabulary through stories. Because of that, I tend to do a lot of writing. At the moment, I’m taking you behind the scenes as I write the sequel to Ahead of Her Time! Today, we’re talking about character sketches, and I’m continuing to draw on the creative process of Barbara Mertz (a.k.a. Elizabeth Peters) for inspiration. Here’s what I found while researching her process: She did use character sketches early in her career, but stopped by 1992(ish). As she explained in her winter 1992-1993 newsletter: “I have to see my people in action before I know what they’re like.” -BARBARA MERTZ A.K.A. ELIZABETH PETERS One thing to keep in mind, though, is that by 1992, Mertz was a very proficient writer. She had also largely moved away from standalone books, focusing primarily on the Vicky Bliss and Amelia Peabody series for the rest of her career. It makes sense, to me at least, that you wouldn’t need to do character sketches on characters you already know! There is a flip side to this, though. While she may not have done pre-draft character sketches for her later books, I did find quite a few post-book character notes. It seems as though she went through her books after writing them, collating details for consistency. One of my favorite, about characters in the Vicky Bliss books, below! So, to recap: Character sketches can be helpful, but it seems like they’re more helpful with standalone books or the first book in a series. On the flip side, if you are writing a series, post-book character sketches may be helpful in keeping everything consistent!

In today’s installment of our “how to write a book” mini-series, we’re diving into outlines! And, yes, I know outlines aren’t the most fascinating topic, so I’ll keep it short. : ) Here’s what you should know: not every author uses an outline. In general, there are two camps in the writing community: Plotters, who plot their novels in advance Pantsers, who follow where the book leads (writing “by the seat of their pants”) I’ve mentioned before that, in drafting the sequel to Ahead of Her Time, I’m trying to base my process on that of Elizabeth Peters. She was a fanatical outliner. In research I did on her writing process, she almost universally had multiple outlines for each book (a short 1-3 page outline, and a longer 7-15 page outline). Here’s what I’m doing differently, though. Rather than write a synopsis-style outline, as she did, I’m creating a chapter-by-chapter outline. Since I (officially!) decided to dually-narrate this one, I just find that it’s easier to keep track of things if I outline by chapter, rather than writing a miniature version of the story! What are your thoughts on outlines? For essays, I’m a firm believer in their necessity, but I’m not experienced enough with novel-writing to have strong opinions for books yet!

Have you ever loved a book so much that when you finished it, you just sat in stunned silence for a moment? How did the author get these ideas? you ask. Maybe you turn to Google and find some witty response from the author, or nothing at all. For aspiring writers, this can be maddening! If each book is an invention, ideas are the schematics and blueprints. I want to know how you built this! Today on the Vocabbett podcast, we're diving into the "behind the scenes" of how authors get their ideas, drawing on the work of bestselling author Barbara Mertz, who is perhaps better known by her pen name "Elizabeth Peters." I was able to do original research on Mertz's creative process for my Master's degree, going through countless boxes of her notes, outlines, and manuscripts just after they donated by her estate. Most hadn't even been archived by the librarians yet! What I learned was invaluable for anyone who wants to write a book. It was like being a fly on the wall as a new product is being invented, and getting to take notes at the same time!  How are bestselling ideas born? Tune into the Vocabbett podcast to find out!

I probably couldn’t pick a worse time to do this. Who has time to write a book amid all the back-to-school madness? Unfortunately, inspiration is striking at the moment, and I’m a slave to the muse, so I’m going to get started on book 2! But that’s the beautiful thing about the internet, isn’t it? You can write a book with me now, in real time, or come back to this series later! Over the next few weeks, as I get started on the sequel to Ahead of Her Time, I’m going to pull back the curtain on every aspect of my writing process. Unlike last time, I’m going to be very methodical this go-round, basing my process largely off of Elizabeth Peters’. I was able to study her creative process for my Master’s, and I’m going to do my best to replicate it! As always, tune into the podcast for a much deeper dive!

Cast Iron by Marilyn Todd pub date Oct 1, 2019 This was my first reading of a book written by Marilyn Todd. After reading Cast Iron, I would love to go back and read the first book in this series, entitled: Snap Shot. Both Snap Shot and Cast Iron take place in England, circa 1895. I can say, even though Cast Iron works just fine, as a stand-alone story, I will first provide a little information from the first book, Snap Shot. As a young widow in London, Julia McAllister supported herself by taking risqué photographs. Unfortunately, when her models began dying, Julia was being framed for their murders. And here’s some info from the publisher’s book summary describing this book series as : “A brilliant new Victorian mystery series you won’t want to miss!” “For fans of Sherlock Holmes, Anne Perry, Elizabeth Peters and Victoria Thompson.” “Julia turns from murder suspect to England’s first crime scene photographer…” As Cast Iron begins, we learn that Julia has apparently moved on from the problems she faced in Snap Shot, and is ready to move forward with her life. In fact, at this moment, she is ready to board a train out of town and into a new life! Ah! But, before you can say, “All Aboard,” Julia finds herself right smack in the middle of...

  Ritter Ames is a USA Today best-selling mystery author  who's equally at home in the world of fast action international art fraud  - as in her Bodies of Art series, or in small town Vermont in the traditional cozy “Organised Mysteries” series  – featuring amateur sleuth Kate in a small town setting. Hi there I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today we are talking to Ritter about  the secrets of her success, life before fiction and why she loves London and Cary Grant movies. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: The book that gave her a "light bulb" moment. (She was in fourth grade.) How Ritter got published and the rebirth of cozies What she's learned in five years of marketing fiction Ritter's favorite place in London The writers she admires most And the new series she can't wait to get started on Where to find Ritter Ames:  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RitterAmesBooks/  Twitter  @RitterAmes What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. But now here's Ritter. Hello there Ritter and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Ritter: Hi Jenny Than you for having me on today. Jenny: Beginning at the beginning . . . .Was there a "Once Upon A Time" moment when you realised you had to write fiction or your life would somehow be the poorer for it?  Was there a catalyst? Mystery author Ritter Ames Ritter: Honestly, the first time I realised books were written and I know this sounds completely ridiculous as an adult, but in fourth grade I read Little Women. Until then everybody was like "what do you want to be?" I would say a teacher, a nurse; whatever anyone said sounded like a good idea. When I read Little Women and I read the part where Jo March made her living as a writer, I identified with Jo in the books so that was part of it too. It was like all of a sudden I realised, somebody actually writes all these books! I had read books from the time I first started reading, and I would see the author's name but it didn't register that somebody actually sat down and wrote it. They were just magically appearing in the library and I would go check them out. So that was the catalyst where I thought, I can do this! People make a living at this. It was a long journey from fourth grade onwards! But at that point, I realised it was something I wanted to do, and so everything I did despite doing the same studies as everybody else;  I still tended to pay more attention to English and more attention to structure. So I guess early on I was already training to be what I wanted to be when I grew up. Jenny: You've so far published two mystery series, both of them very well received and well reviewed.   Four books in the Bodies of Art series and three in the Organized Mystery series. Which came first? Ritter: Actually, the Bodies of Art came first. I had written about 50 pages of the first book, and had completed the story arc I had developed for that. A publisher wanted to read it, and so I sent the first 50 pages off and she said "I want this by the end of the year, I'm going to start a new press. This would be perfect, I've got it in my Chick Lit Mysteries." I really hadn't written it as a Chick Lit Mystery, I was just having fun with it. I loved reading everything by Elizabeth Peters, and I especially liked the Vicky Bliss series and the way she travelled all over the place. I had a whole idea on how to build a history for my main character Laurel Beacham, and so in doing that it fitted into this publisher's idea of a Chick Lit Mystery series. So I finished the book and turned it into her, and she liked the book and took the first two, but then she changed her own focus. When she did she dropped the ball on what this series needed. Because like you say, it's not a cozy - there is not gratuitous sex, violence and cursing,

Even a novelist with thirty-five books under her belt would find it difficult to finish someone else’s series, set in a relatively unfamiliar part of the world and a century earlier than the fictional world one has created for oneself. More difficult still if the author was a close friend. So it’s no surprise that Joan Hess initially said no when the agent she shared with Elizabeth Peters suggested that Hess complete the manuscript for The Painted Queen (William Morrow, 2017). Fortunately for fans of Amelia Peabody, Radcliffe Emerson, and their numerous and ever-expanding family, the agent supplied enough vodka and carrot cake to swing the deal. In this last adventure, set in 1912, Peabody and Emerson have barely set foot in Cairo before the first death occurs: an unknown man wearing a monocle who collapses just inside the door of the bathroom where Peabody is soaking off the grime of her train ride from Alexandria. There is no question that the death is murder, and discovering the identity of the corpse, the reason for his carrying a card bearing the single word Judas, and the hand behind the knife that has dispatched the unwanted visitor consumes Peabody and Emerson even as they devote some of their attention to the excavation that has brought them to Egypt. The culprit could be the Master Criminal, defending Peabody from harm. Or it could be the representative of a secret society of monocle wearers. As Peabody and Emerson, with help from the junior members of their extended family, strive to figure out what’s going on, they must also deal with less deadly intrusions from a missionary named Dullard and the ineffable Ermintrude de Vere Smith, writer of racy romance novels, as well as a disappearing archeologist and an apparently nonstop succession of forgeries purporting to be statues of Nefertiti–the Painted Queen. It all makes for a deliciously entertaining sendoff to a much beloved series, one that Peabody and Emerson fans should not miss. C. P. Lesley is the author of six novels, including Legends of the Five Directions (The Golden Lynx, The Winged Horse, and The Swan Princess), a historical fiction series set in 1530s Russia, during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible.

  With two delicious series going, each with a new book out over the next six months, author Gigi Pandian still managed to find time to chat with me, and I'm thrilled. Her adventure-filled mysteries are among my favorite series. How do you know if you'd like them? If you're a fan of Elizabeth Peters, either her Vicky Bliss or her Amelia Peabody series, then you will love Gigi's books. We talk about a lot of things, and one of them is food. Dorian, the gourmet chef (and living gargoyle) from The Accidental Alchemist grumbles about it, but he manages to create masterful dishes with only vegan ingredients. Gigi has a treasure trove of recipes on her site for you to try as well, and don't miss her Pinterest board!  Gigi's interests are so wide-ranging -- alchemy! mythology! world travel! -- that I'm not going to try to encapsulate it all here. Instead, let me suggest you follow her on Facebook and subscribe to her newsletter. Little doses of wonderment await. And joy -- did I mention what joyous romps the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mysteries are? There, now I did. Plus Gigi just shared some great news about The Accidental Alchemist series: her original three-book series has been extended! There will be more adventures for Zoe and Dorian ahead. Here are the two series, in order: The Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery Series 1 - Artifact 2 - Pirate Vishnu 3 - Quicksand 4 - Michelangelo's Ghost The Accidental Alchemist 1 - The Accidental Alchemist 2 - The Masquerading Magician 3 - The Elusive Elixir As always, if you'd prefer to read rather than listen, here is the transcript. Enjoy! Transcript of Interview with Gigi Pandian: Laura Brennan: My guest today is USA Today bestselling author, Gigi Pandian. The Accidental Alchemist won this year’s Best Novel Lefty Award, while Artifact, a Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery, was named a Best of 2012 Debut Novel by Suspense Magazine. Lucky for us, both of these mysteries launched excellent series. Gigi, thank you for joining me. Gigi Pandian: Thanks so much for having me today. LB: Your very first novel was Artifact. GP: Yes. LB: And that was the first outing for Jaya Jones. GP: Yup. LB: The subheading for that is “A Treasure Hunt Mystery.” Which came first? Did the treasure hunt aspect of it come first or did you come up with the character first? GP: So the whole idea for the series was always there right from the start, mixed up with Jaya and her friends and the whole adventure of it. But I hadn’t really figured out that it was a treasure hunt mystery series because when I wrote the first book, I was just concentrating on the first mystery. And so I knew that it was an adventure that became a treasure hunt, but it wasn’t until I was thinking about, as all authors have to do, how do you actually pitch your book to other people, that’s when I realized that that was really what I wanted to be doing for a whole series. Because I love adventure mysteries, and so it was definitely the thing that I wanted to hook the series around. LB: It is such a joyous romp. I love that book. GP: Oh, thank you. LB: It’s so full of the twists and the surprises. You said it kind of sprang full-formed? GP: The idea for the adventure of it, that it wouldn’t be something that was just set in one place. That it would be an adventure that was following clues that lead to different foreign destinations and that there would be twists and turns. I just, when I started writing it, I hadn’t figured out exactly what those twists and turns were. And it’s actually one of those things that is really funny when I look back on it, that I’ve always thought of myself as an outliner, someone who knows exactly what the story is before I sit down to write. But what I've realized is that every single book I've written, whenever I start with an outline but then I sent my characters free to go follow that outline, they do not follow my outline.

Episode 008 of the Mystery Books Podcast opened with the news that has the publishing and reading world buzzing: Harper Lee will have a new book published. I gave the background of how the lost novel was found.  The book of the podcast was one of my favorites, Elizabeth Peters’ Crocodile on the Sandbank. I touched on Peters’ many pen names, her background in Egyptology, how she broke into publishing (not with mysteries!), and her thoughts on her characters and writing.  Check out this episode for background on Elizabeth Peters and how her most popular series began as a stand-alone as well as several aspects that make Crocodile a great read, including fun characters, a unique setting, and how Peters seamlessly weaves historical detail into the story.  Notes at links at http://www.SaraRosett.com
