More than just a National Parks champion, Karen Barnett has written some truly wonderful novels with a bit of suspense, a bit of romance, and a whole lot of heart. Her most recent release, When Stone Wings Fly, is one of my top books of the year. I want to say my top... and maybe it is.  At least today. Listen in and see why as well as learn the heart behind why Karen wrote the story she did.     How Can Dementia Bring Clarity as Well as Confusion? This has been the year for books that wreck me. Not all were written during the pandemic as this one was, but I do wonder if God didn't have a plan for when I read what I did. I've felt the emotional impact of so many books this year, and When Stone Wings Fly by Karen Barnett definitely punched me over and over.  With rich language and description that never once trailed off into excess, hard stories that showed the beauty of lives well lived, and the mingling of those stories?  Can I just insert a chef's kiss right here?  Man! Let's see... Characters you love?  Yep. Got it. A setting so real it feels like home?  Definitely. Harsh realities of life shown in compassionate but realistic ways?  Uh, huh. Got 'em. An unputdownable (yes, that's a word now) book?  Don't you know it. A rich, spiritual meal woven in so you never feel stuffed by it?  Oh, yeah. By the time I finished When Stone Wings Fly, I wanted to start it all over again. There are so many things about this book that still haunt me, and Karen Barnett gives us glimpses of why in this interview. Even better... we get a glimpse of what is coming next. EEEP! Oh, and that question?  How can dementia bring clarity as well as confusion? I'll give this answer. When someone cares enough to sift through the confusion to help bring about that clarity--to find the truth buried in faulty memories and history. When Stone Wings Fly by Karen Barnett Uncovering a long-lost family story is the only way to bring her grandmother peace Kieran Lucas's grandmother is slipping into dementia, and, when her memory is gone, Kieran's last tie to the family she barely knows will be lost forever. Worse, Granny Mac is being tormented by flashbacks of her mother's death and the loss of their home. In 1931, Rosie McCauley's Smoky Mountains home is threatened by the Tennessee Great Smokies Park Commission as they create a new national park. But Rosie vows the only way they'll get her land is if they haul her out in a pine box. When a compromise offers her and her disabled sister the opportunity to stay for her lifetime, it seems too good to be true. Ornithologist Benton Fuller arrives to conduct a bird survey for the park and the two form a tenuous bond. But their friendship broadens a rift between her and the other mountain folk who are suspicious of any government connections. Then the discovery of an illegal still in the woods near her cabin leads to a violent clash between sides that could destroy them all. Eighty-five years later, Kieran heads back to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park to find answers to her great-grandmother's mysterious death and bring peace to Granny Mac before it's too late. Park Historian Zach Jensen may be the key to locating both the answers and a precious family heirloom. But just as in the past, Kieran's needs clash with government regulations. Will Zach block her from recovering what she needs and solving this family mystery?

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cheeses! Turn and face the stranger, or in this case the friend. I finally got to sit down with this busy person-- Karen Barnett, (instagram.com/karensmallbarnett) who just recently closed down San Diego's beloved Small Bar, and is now working on at least 3 other new things (at least that is all she would mention...) that will probably be equally as awesome as all of these past endeavors. In this conversation, you will hear about Karen's history as a venue owner, bar owner, Chef, Boss, wearing all the hats imaginable, and most importantly-- surviving and thriving after a tumultuous and abusive marriage. It's all in there. I want to share some resources here, in case you or someone you know has to live in or around any kind of abusive, toxic relationships. There is help, there is hope. --------------------------------------------------------- Nat'l Domestic Violence Hotline: https://www.thehotline.org/ CA Partnership to End Domestic Violence: https://www.cpedv.org/domestic-violence-organizations-california Reporting Suspected Child Abuse or Neglect in CA: https://www.cdss.ca.gov/reporting/report-abuse/child-protective-services/report-child-abuse Child Abuse Hotline San Diego: https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/hhsa/programs/cs/child_welfare_services/child_abuse_hotline.html Nat'l Suicide Prevention: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ Nat'l Institute of Mental Health: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/ Please reach out directly to me if you need something specific regarding mental health, therapy, suicidal thoughts, abuse, or just talk. email: famcastpod@gmail.com or DM our page on instagram.com/thefamilycast ______________________________________ Music on this episode: Karen by The Beach Boys (from the 1965 TV Series "Karen") Ending song "Birthday Boy" by Ween (Live in New Hope, PA) and all other musics made fresh to order by Chef Josh Kemble.

Hey there! aaaaaaaaaaand welcome to episode 35! On this one we are joined by a couple of industry bad asses Karen Barnett & Cynthia Jimenez. It's been an eye opening experience in the beer industry these passed few weeks. We cover a lot on this episode, From the horrible situations women in the craft beer industry had face to some action plans on how we can move forward! Don't worry we managed to squeeze in some poop jokes/stories. This was a necessary episode though, I learned a lot and I'm honored that Karen and Cynthia took time discuss all these topics. ENJOY! 

Karen's back!!! And as always our ADD kicked in and we talked about everything... Bread in the freezer / Raisins in Potato Salad / Ghetto Birds.  I love talking to business owners and picking their brains about their operation. My favorite way too learn.  So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.  www.EmoBrown.com  619-728-9300 Gracias, Familia!!!

When my Naturopath recommended I go organic I found it a bit daunting at first. Then when I found the right places for organic produce and products, I felt like I was home. Sometimes it can be difficult to get everything organic, but starting is the easiest part and it just flows from there. So when it came to the choice of choosing an organic coffee, I didn't find it too difficult. The coffee I found was fair trade, which really means a lot - you'll find that in this episode, it was organic, it was a Queensland company and it was also socially conscious. Oh did I mention the coffee is delicious too? So my choice was Montville Coffee and from day 1 I was hooked! I was a bit chuffed to get the chance to speak to Founder Karen Barnett about their story and how they are one of the few B Corp certified coffee companies in Queensland. The more I got to chat with Karen, the more I could see her mission unfold and the impact they make locally and globally. So the next time you see a pack of Montville Coffee, grab one and give it a go - you are not just supporting a Queensland company, you're also behind a global movement. Let's talk coffee and global domination with Karen Barnett... This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

Small Bar’s second life, a contest seeking SD’s best taco recipe, plus lots of food news We got the scoop on what’s happening with Small Bar in University Heights by chatting with owner Karen Barnett. Karen gave us an update about the renovation and the bar’s new life, and how her new partnership with chef Brad Wise (Trust, Fort Oak) is taking shape with the refreshed menu. She also shared with us how she got into the industry (she gave up a career in construction management to open the bar) and what it’s really like to own a popular neighborhood watering hole. Her pick for two people, $50 were the tacos at Lola 55. In Hot Plates, we learned that Grand Old BBQ Y Asado on 32nd Street in North Park is undergoing a remodel — it looks closed down, but it’s not. When it reopens later this fall, the popular barbecue spot will have more covered seating and a new bar. Holy Matcha’s new Instagrammable East Village café is now open. Bankers Hill Bar & Restaurant is hosting a special beer pairing dinner with Abnormal Beer Co. on March 13. We also got word of some great dining deals: GBOD Hospitality Group, which owns Monkey King, Meza Greek Fusion, El Chingon and Havana 1920, debuted a four-course pre-fixe meal for $49 per couple — and the price includes wine! Born & Raised, the swanky steakhouse and cocktail bar in Little Italy, just launched a happy hour menu with a $7 Wagyu Old Fashioned, waffles and caviar, and “Le Slim Jim” beefsticks. In food news elsewhere, we talked about what’s happening at Feva Restaurant in the town of Castelfranco Veneto in Northern Italy, where chef Nicola Dinato came up with a dish called “Aria Fritta,” or fried air. Listen to find out what’s actually in the dish. Calling all home chefs and aspiring bloggers: Do you think you have the best taco recipe in San Diego?

Karen Barnett is a northwest author -- has an obvious love of the area, of nature, and also of time travel, so she writes historical fiction. Her latest book: The Road to Paradise--a Vintage National Parks Novel, is set on Mount Rainier, nearly 100 years ago, giving us a very interesting look at the Park at that time when National Parks were just a new concept.
