Clinching is the technique used to bend a driven horseshoe nail to hold the shoe to a hoof. Rainy Dale is The Clincher, a twenty-something high school-dropout turned farrier (horseshoer) who is haunted by a secret she carries. Estranged from her California d-list actress momma and her ranch hand Texas daddy, she tracked down her childhood horse in small-town Oregon—a land full of cowboys and their horses—then stayed to build a life with her tools, steel, and forge. She’s sleeping in a garage and trying not to fall for her landlord, the hapless and hopeful chef, Guy, who is determined to create the perfect soufflé while Rainy would prefer to just stuff her mouth with fuel for her physically demanding job. As the new kid in town, Rainy has an uphill battle to prove herself, especially to her male clients, but when one of her clients turns up dead, Rainy is in over her head as both a suspect and a seeker of the truth. The Clincher is the first in a series of horseshoer mysteries featuring the irrepressible, irreverent, and irresistible Rainy Dale and her loveable and unlikely side-kick (her culinarily inclined boyfriend, Guy). Lisa Preston (1964- ) turned to writing after careers as a fire department paramedic and a city police officer. Experience in her earlier professions enhance the medical and legal passages of her fiction and non-fiction. Her debut novel, Orchids and Stone, is scheduled for release by Thomas & Mercer in April 2016, and has been described both as a thriller and as domestic noir. Advance reviews include praise from the best-selling novelists Jo-Ann Mapson, Laura Moriarty, Kate Moretti and Carol Cassella. Her published work includes non-fiction books and articles on animals, particularly the care and training of dogs and horses. Away from her desk, she spends hours on backcountry trails as a runner and rider, sometimes combining her two outdoor pursuits via the obscure sport of Ride and Tie. She lives with her husband and Malinois on Washington State's vast Olympic Peninsula. Learn more about Lisa Preston and her books at LisaPreston.com.

Today's Guest: Kate Moretti, novelist, The Vanishing Year, Binds That Tie, Thought I Knew You, While You Were Gone Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with Kate Moretti by clicking on the video player above! Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of women who are in the midst of Kate Moretti’s latest book and—while fearful for Zoe—can’t bear to put it down … in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! The Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti. Order your copy now by clicking on the book cover above! Zoe Whittaker is not who anyone thinks she is. She may not even be who she thinks she is. KATE MORETTI podcast excerpt: "I don't think the average person has faced the amount of tragedy and bad decision-making that Zoe has faced. If anybody tried to write about the bad decision-making of the average person, you'd wind up with a really boring book!" And identity issues aside, there seems to be something sinister in not just her past, but in her present. The danger in her past seems to be creeping into her present, but is it related or something new? Kate Moretti’s latest novel, The Vanishing Year, is a page-turner in which the reader quickly gets caught up in both the luxury of the heroine’s life and something frightening that appears to be lurking around every corner. If you’re looking for a suspenseful, woman-in-danger story, you’ll want to take a ride with Moretti’s latest. And then, like me, you’ll find yourself reaching for her previous bestsellers, including Binds That Tie, Thought I Knew You, and While You Were Gone. KATE MORETTI podcast excerpt: "The pharmaceuticals company I work for is Johnson & Johnson and the area I work in is biologics. We make drugs derived from biologic material. It's nothing you can take over the counter; it's all injected or infusions. They're for people with pretty debilitating illnesses. I work in a large molecule lab. I had to do a lot of research (for 'The Vanishing Year') because I don't actually take anything. Except for the occasional Advil." Key interview moments: • 5:00 Novelist Kate Moretti says real life isn't as interesting as that of her heroine's; • 15:50 In her day job, Moretti is a scientist for Johnson & Johnson; • 27:45 Moretti avoids reading other authors while she is writing her own books.

Hey drunky babies, it's time for episode 12! This week, we read The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. Oooh goodness we have much to discuss this time around, and some of those things are: a shout out to St. George Spirits for keeping us inebriated; our fancy fancy English major use of literature terms like "unreliable narrator," The Turn of the Screw, and "frame narrative;" Ashley's hatred of travel journalists (jaykay); the stigma of mental health issues and questions regarding unreliable narrators used to move forward plot lines; a cry for not only diverse emojis, but also the crossed-finger emoji; and a buncha bodies we're going to dump overboard on our next cruise. Suffice it to say, you are in for a treat, dear listener. Olivia drinks: Andre and raspberry liqueur Ashley drinks: gin and tonic We read: The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware Up next: The Vanishing Year by Kate Moretti
