Check out this episode of The Story Blender. Author and screenwriter Lee Goldberg has topped bestseller lists, earned wide critical acclaim, and garnered a worldwide devoted fan base for his compelling and meticulously researched police procedurals and spy thrillers. His latest book, MALIBU BURNING, which Thomas & Mercer will publish on September 1, 2023, marks a brand-new direction in crime fiction for the talented storyteller. It's a relentless thriller tracking both a master thief with a conscience and the dogged investigators out to stop him from pulling off the ultimate heist in the midst of a raging wildfire. Lee Goldberg is a two-time Edgar Award and two-time Shamus Award nominee and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of nearly 40 novels, including Lost Hills, True Fiction, fifteen Monk mysteries, and the first five “Fox & O'Hare” books, co-written with Janet Evanovich.

Lee had me in stiches one minute and dropping knowledge that left me speechless in another. He is super talented and has written TV shows, books based on shows, Films, and including a book series with Janet Evanovich! he put himself through UCLA as a freelance journalist, writing for such publications as American Film, Starlog, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate, The Washington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle (He also wrote erotic letters to the editor for Playgirl at $25-a-letter, but he doesn't tell people about that, he just likes to boast about those "tiffany" credits). He published his first book ".357 Vigilante" (as "Ian Ludlow," so he'd be on the shelf next to Robert Ludlum) while he was still a UCLA student. The West Coast Review of Books called his debut "as stunning as the report of a .357 Magnum, a dynamic premiere effort," singling the book out as "The Best New Paperback Series" of the year. Naturally, the publisher promptly went bankrupt and he never saw a dime in royalties. (But the books are available on the Kindle as "The Jury Series") Welcome to publishing, Lee. His subsequent books include the non-fiction books "Successful Television Writing" and "Unsold Television Pilots" ("The Best Bathroom Reading Ever!" San Francisco Chronicle) as well as the novels "My Gun Has Bullets" ("It will make you cackle like a sitcom laugh track," Entertainment Weekly), "Dead Space" ("Outrageously entertaining," Kirkus Reviews), "Watch Me Die" ("as dark and twisted as anything Hammet or Chandler ever dreamed up," Kirkus Reviews).Goldberg broke into television with a freelance script sale to "Spenser: For Hire." Since then, his TV writing & producing credits have covered a wide variety of genres, including sci-fi (SeaQuest), cop shows (Hunter, The Glades), martial arts (Martial Law), whodunits (Diagnosis Murder, Nero Wolfe), the occult (She-Wolf of London), kid's shows (R.L. Stine's The Nightmare Room), T&A (Baywatch), comedy (Monk) and utter crap (The Highwayman). His TV work has earned him two Edgar Award nominations from the Mystery Writers of America. His two careers, novelist and TV writer, merged when he began writing the "Diagnosis Murder" series of original novels, based on the hit CBS TV mystery that he also wrote and produced, and later wrote the 15 bestselling novels based on "Monk," another show that he worked on. He is co-creator of the hit Hallmark movie series "Mystery 101." He also he teamed up with Janet Evanovich to write the #1 New York Times bestselling Fox & O'Hare novels ("The Heist," "The Chase," "The Job," "The Scam," "The Pursuit"). His most recent books include the thriller "True Fiction" and the police procedural "Lost Hills." But perhaps he's best known for his pioneering work mapping the human genome and negotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement. Goldberg lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his daughter and still sleeps in "Man From UNCLE" pajamas. His latest book is Malibu Burning! Its soo good! leegoldberg.com

The film, as of 2023, is stand alone.It stars Katherine Heigl from "Grey's Anatomy" as a tough New Jersey woman of Hungarian/Italian decent.

Moira Quirk narrates this satisfyingly complex and enjoyably confusing third entry in Tamsyn Muir's Locked Tomb series. AudioFile's Emily Connelly tries to explain the series to host Jo Reed, and maybe succeeds? In NONA THE NINTH, the world is ending, but all Nona wants to do is have her six-month birthday party with all of her favorite people (and dogs) in attendance. Quirk's portrayal of Nona is utterly captivating. She woke up six months ago in a body that seems to belong to someone else, but is enthusiastic and delighted by almost everything she encounters. Quirk must use her skills as a narrator to suggest interpretations of events (many fairly disastrous) outside of Nona's understanding, and her compelling and moving performance will please fans of the series.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Janet Evanovich

Golden Voice narrator January LaVoy's captivating talents are on full display as she narrates a romantic, fantastical noir mystery. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss the joy of hearing January narrate ANY audiobook, especially one as enchanting as C.L. Polk's newest fantasy. All Helen Brandt wants to do is wrap up an easy magical investigation and go out dancing with her girl in the few days she has left before her soul is claimed by a demon. But the case is more complicated than it seems on the surface, as is everything in this tightly written, beautifully narrated novella. LaVoy embodies each character with ease, including intimidatingly ferocious otherworldly beings. LaVoy will have listeners breathless as Helen fights for a future with her girl.

Devon Sorvari gives a stunning performance of Meghan Gilliss's timely and powerfully affecting audiobook about a young family in dire circumstances. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss a novel told in a poetic style that builds tension around the delicacy of struggling and living on the edge. Tuck; her husband, Paul; and their young daughter, Agnes, squat in her late grandmother's home on a remote Maine island. Paul is depleting the family's meager funds, as he's addicted to an herbal opiate, and the family receives little help. Sorvari wonderfully mines the resilience and bravery of the one-of-a-kind Tuck. This provocative and harrowing audiobook is essential listening.  Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website. Published by HighBridge Audio.

Constance Wu, star of CRAZY RICH ASIANS and “Fresh Off the Boat,” moves listeners with her narration of her raw memoir. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss this candid celebrity memoir. Wu tells how she was raised to suppress her emotions and avoid making a scene, and she reflects on various memorable moments in her life and their impact on her as a person. She shares intimate details of her experiences of sexual assault and harassment, and sheds light on her mental health struggles. Poignant and relatable.

My guest this week is Tom Colgan, editorial director at Berkley Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House. Tom has spent more than 35 years championing such authors as Tom Clancy, mark Graeney, and Janet Evanovich. We talk about how he got his start as an editor, what editors do and don't do (you may be surprised!), how the creative process is different for everyone, and why, despite coming up with many ideas for books, he doesn't dream of writing one. He also has some advice for aspiring authors. I would love for you to leave a review for the show, and in it, tell us about your relationship with books and writing. Check out the show notes at fycuriosity.com, and join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! I also post pretty regularly on TikTok, and you can also listen on YouTube. If you're feeling stuck in your own creative process, you owe it to yourself to get my free 6 Creative Beliefs That Are Screwing You Up series—it'll slice through those myths to help get you back on track! Here's a handy playlist with all my previous interviews with guests in writing and publishing!

Romance novels have been brushed off as undeserving of literary value for years. In recent years, however, there has been a shift in how people view romance novels. Writers of romance novels are beginning to earn respect for their work, and readers are beginning to see the value in them as well. There's something about a good romance novel that just draws us in, and we can't help but root for the characters to find their happily ever after. These stories have a way that can transport you to another world and believe in the power of love.If you're like Julie, you love a good romance novel.
