Podcast appearances and mentions of heather weidner

Author Heather Weidner discusses her new cozy mystery series, the Jules Keene Glamping Mysteries. The first book, Vintage Trailers and Blackmailers, is out now. This series is set outside Charlottesville, VA in a luxury camping resort where, as in all good cozy mysteries, life seems to be complicated by mystery, mayhem and murder. Heather chats about how her love of mysteries started with Scooby Doo and Nancy Drew and how growing up as a cop's kid meant her family talked about "true crime" before it was popular.

Heather Weidner grew up in Las Vegas, NV. After five years as a veterinarian and weekend warrior, she finally realized that what she really wanted to be doing was rock climbing. Heather is a perfect mix of gentle and fierce: as sweet as can be with people and animals – always smiling – but relentless on the wall. She's climbed up to 14b sport (Stockboy's Revenge) and 14a R trad (China Doll). This episode lies very close to my heart, because it was recorded only three days before her son Dallas Dean Weidner was born. In our conversation, Heather shares her journey toward motherhood, the challenges along the way and the beauty of building her own family. 

Former VB resident, Heather Weidner is a mystery novel author. She currently resides in Central Virginia, Richmond. The backdrop for Heather's story is especially important considering she sets all of her mysteries in our beautiful Commonwealth. Her creative expression is rooted in our various landscapes, which may stem from the fact that her descendants first settled here from the Virginia Company. More about Heather directly from her website- "Her short stories appear in the Virginia is for Mysteries series, 50 Shades of Cabernet, Deadly Southern Charm, and Murder by the Glass, and her novellas appear in The Mutt Mysteries series (To Fetch a Thief, To Fetch a Scoundrel, To Fetch a Villain, and To Fetch a Killer). She is a member of Sisters in Crime – Central Virginia, Sisters in Crime – Chessie, Guppies, International Thriller Writers, the Short Mystery Fiction Society, and James River Writers. Originally from Virginia Beach, Heather has been a mystery fan since Scooby-Doo and Nancy Drew. She lives in Central Virginia with her husband and a pair of Jack Russell terriers. She earned her BA in English from Virginia Wesleyan University and her MA in American literature from the University of Richmond. Through the years, she has been a cop's kid, technical writer, editor, college professor, software tester, and IT manager." http://www.heatherweidner.com/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loveletterstovirginia/support

I had such a blast interviewing Heather Weidner about her books and writing.

Young climbing phenom and media up-and-comer Matty Hong was the fourth American to climb 5.15b. He also had his about Margo Hayes’s ascent of La Rambla featured in the Reel Rock Film Tour. We talk about growing up with prolific climbing parents, what 5.15b means to him, and how he balances being a climber and photographer and videographer. Heather Weidner is known for her hard redpoints, most recently China Doll, a 5.14a R trad route. Music by Small Houses: http://smallhouses.band/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Heather Weidner doesn't need an introduction, but this episode certainly does. When I recently watched a film made about Heather's ascent of China Doll, putting her into a small group of women to have climbed 14a on gear, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. It seemed that given the current gender climate, the filmmakers, Jon Glassberg and Caroline Treadway, could have crafted a story that didn't depict Heather as so dependant on her husband, Chris Weidner, for not only support, but to also tell and show her how to climb the route. Shortly after, Heather wrote a blog post indicating that she felt similar upon seeing the film, and I knew I had to talk to her about it. The omissions, the contradictions, and the lessons.  You can find Heather online at www.heatherclimbs.com You can find Jon Glassberg and LT11 at www.lt11.com You can find Caroline Treadway at http://carolinetreadway.com/ You can see the film at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vZG7FTDM9U You can read Heather's blogpost at https://heatherclimbs.com/2017/12/08/the-china-doll-contradiction-behind-the-scenes-of-the-film/ You can find us at www.powercompanyclimbing.com We don't tweet.

On Episode 117, I sit down in a La Quinta Inn in Rifle, Colorado (the town, not the climbing area) with Heather Weidner. Heather and I nerd out on the process it took for her to do the first female ascent of China Doll (5.14R) sans bolts. Then we go deeper. After sending the multi-year … Continue reading "Episode 117: Heather Weidner – The Life of Try."

  In Episode 17 I sit down with mental training guru Arno Ilgner of The Warriors Way.  Most of us recognize The Warriors Way as a way to get over the fear of falling, but it's so much more.  Athletes of all levels can benefit hugely from what Arno and I discuss during this podversation... the differences between being motivated by goals and being motivated by process.  We go into depth with his process, and talk a little about work he's done recently with pro climber Heather Weidner during her campaign to send Simply Read (13d).  I have a feeling you're going to walk away from this one wanting more, and I plan on delivering just that.   You can find Arno at www.warriorsway.com You can support the podcast at www.patreon.com/powercompanypodcast Visit us at www.powercompanyclimbing.com Don't forget to rate and review us, and share us on your social medias!

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Heather Weidner to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her literary journey and the new book SECRET LIVES AND PRIVATE EYES.

Debut author Heather Weidner melds together the lighthearted fun of a cozy mystery with the action and juicy cases that come with the territory when you're a private eye in her first novel, Secret Lives and Private Eyes. Heather has been steeped in mystery all her life: she's a policeman's daughter (she mentions how she donated crayons to the SWAT team) and she's currently the president of the Central Virginia chapter of Sisters in Crime. Plus she has a kickass Pinterest board! Too much fun. She also gives a big shout-out to several writers who helped her along the way: Mary Miley, Mary Burton, Teresa Inge, Lyndee Walker (LyndeeWalker.com) and Maggie King (MaggieKing.com). And of course, The Poe House. As always, if you'd rather read than listen, the transcript is below. Enjoy! Transcript for Interview with Heather Weidner Laura Brennan: My guest today is a debut author Heather Weidner. Her mystery, Secret Lives and Private Eyes features PI Delanie Fitzgerald, who is thrilled to take on an assignment that doesn’t involve straying husbands. She’s less thrilled when it turns into a high-profile murder case. Heather is also a short-story writer and the president of the Central Virginia chapter of Sisters in Crime. Heather, thank you for joining me. Heather Weidner: Thank you so much for having me Laura. LB: Congratulations on your debut novel. HW: Thank you! It's been a long time coming. LB: Well now, you are a short story writer too. That's a very different genre. HW: It is, it's very contained and you're limited in the number of characters that you can have, and the subplots. So I like writing both. I get to experiment with different characters and different styles. But in a novel setting you have many more characters and plot lines that cross and zigzag and sometimes look back on themselves. LB: Now, Delanie, how did you come up with that particular character? HW: I am part of Sisters in Crime in Central Virginia and we have a lot of speakers that come to talk to us. And we had a female private eye and I had just started my story and I thought, wow, this would be a great opportunity. I wanted a female sleuth, I wanted someone that was strong and that was willing to take some chances, take some risks and have some fun. So, it would give her some freedom -- she's not really law enforcement so she can poke around and things and get herself into some situations, sometimes that she probably shouldn't, but... LB: Yes, Delanie does have a knack for getting herself into things. HW: Sometimes it's humorous and sometimes it's dangerous. She's sort of my alter ego, except she gets into way more trouble than I do. LB: One of the nice things about the book is that it's not your typical lone wolf PI with no ties to the community. She's very tied. HW: Right. She grew up in Central Virginia. Her father was a police officer, her parents are deceased. She has two older brothers who like to be very protective and don't like her job, they don't like what she does so they're constantly giving her feedback about get a real job, stop doing this. She has a partner that she's known since college but he has an alter ego as an ethical computer hacker, so she tries not to ask too many questions about where his information comes from. And they have a sidekick that was in the office, which is Duncan's dog -- her assistant, her helper -- and he has an English bulldog named Margaret. LB: It's just an interesting mix of genres because the PI novel tends to be sort of a very lonely place for your protagonist. And more traditional mysteries or even in the cozy world, it tends to be more a more connected world. Did you deliberately mixed genres? HW: I'd like to take credit for it but I think it just happened naturally. I tend to read a lot of cozies, so I tend toward that side. I've loved the British tradition but I also like the hard-boiled, American detective fiction of the 1920s and '30s. So I think there's a little bit of all of that.

It's been FOREVER since I published a podcast episode and I'm really sorry for the inconsistency! My surgery and ensuing weirdness has had me away from working very much at all, but I'm hoping to start putting podcasts up again on a regular basis. About Heather Alright, so this episode is with my friend, Heather Weidner (nee Robinson), who is a badass sport and trad climber, having redpointed Stockboy's Revenge (5.14b) in Rifle this summer and Must'a Been High (5.13c R) in Eldorado Canyon in Colorado soon after. She and her husband, Chris Weidner, are full time climbers living the dream, although Heather was a veterinarian for about 5 years before that. When I think of Heather, I think of a very sweet woman with a bullish determination to climb her projects. I also think of kneebarring, since she's a pro at it. Here's what we talked about: Her lack of fear and how that helps her climbing Whether kneebarring is "cheating" How her vegetarian diet affects her climbing Her longest (time) project and how she kept trying even when she felt defeated How she makes it as a full time climber Related Links Heather's site at www.heatherclimbs.com Heather's article for TrainingBeta, "Headstrong" Support The Podcast Check out the new Bouldering Strength and Power program for boulderers of all abilities!
