“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished; that will be the beginning.” — Louis L’Amour
In this episode I’m answering the big question of how can a man leave a legacy to future generations. Listen to hear how a box of Louis L’Amour novels helped a Union Pacific Railroad brakeman show his great-grandsons how to be a man https://www.buzzsprout.com/853267/7112092click here for a transcript of this episode.
Brent’s dad, Gary, died two years ago after suffering from a stroke and a hardened carotid artery. Gary was Brent’s best example of hard work but his dad also took time to coach soccer and be there to support his kids in all of their events. Gary was a wrestler in college. He loved westerns and Louis L’Amour books. Most of all he loved his family. It is hard not to have him around as a grandpa for his kids but Brent takes comfort in knowing it isn’t the last time he will see he dad.

Welcome to AskALLi, the self-publishing advice broadcast from the Alliance of Independent Authors. This week it's our monthly IndieVoices' self-publishing salon with interviews conducted by ALLi Managing Editor Howard Lovy and updates from News Editor Dan Holloway. This Month's IndieVoices Back in 2009, Angelique L'Amour received news that she had cancer. But her first thought was not for herself. It was for her family, particularly her children. How was she going to hold things together for her kids while she went through the ordeal of chemotherapy? Cancer and parenthood are both all-encompassing. Can the two coexist? Well, Angelique literally wrote the book on how it's done. She published Chemo, Cupcakes and Carpools: How to go Through Chemo With Your Marriage, Your Family and Your Sanity Intact. And, if you think the last name L'Amour sounds familiar to you, you're right. She's also the daughter of author Louis L'Amour. I ask Angelique how and why she kept up a "normal" family life in an abnormal situation. She also explains why she chose to self-publish this cancer memoir and gives us a peek into her childhood as the daughter of a prolific author who died of cancer in 1988, when she was 24 years old.

Louis L'Amour's The Walking Drum, a historical novel set circa the 12th century in Europe and the Middle East, is less concerned with being an adventure story and more concerned with telling the reader about worlds that are different from their own. Mathurin Kerbouchard isn't always the most complex character, but the things he learns, the places he goes, and the people he meets all come together to form a novel that evokes American Westerns but is set far away from the American West.

Adam gives Leslie yawning lessons, Adam was really into this scene, Leslie's mom made a mistake when she taught her about the birds and the bees which traumatized her neighbor. Charlie does a great job in this scene, flat screens were a splurge and a big deal in 2009, there is too much rubbing for Louis L'Amour's taste, Edward's lumping around again.
Adam's mustache ride experiences technical difficulties, Leslie's Apple Watch was targeted by Adobe, Adam suggests that the Cullens should have played a game of polite chicken, Adam gets a point for listening, case due is not the same as K. Stew. Adam proposes a theory about why Edward could leave his window open, we wonder how Edward makes semen, poop blankets protect you from cockatiel poop, we create some pod magic, Adam sheds light in the complexities of wire work. We discover an inside joke between K. Stew and R. Patt, there are some big problems with Edward taking Bella on a spider monkey ride, Louis L'Amour would not approve of the tracking scene. Leslie shares her tactic when she feels scared and alone in the woods.
We get ready for a long and important chapter, Bella's girls from Phoenix are missing in the book but she misses estrogen, nightmare A/V guy makes an appearance, Louis L'Amour strikes again, Adam continues his quest to keep people alive in the desert, Edward's furious voice causes a spill in aisle 4, Adam is late for a class, we play a terrible game called "what Leslie would let Keanu spit into her mouth" and cross a line, another trope comes out, we break up for about thirty seconds, our moms experienced the 60s and 70s in wildly different ways, Joss Whedon killed us in an alternate timeline, Edward's coat smells either like a cool breeze over the mountain or B.O., and we'll never look at creamed corn the same way again.

Do you have a book or two in you? Do you know someone with a great story? What are you waiting for? Listen in and meet some surprising new authors. It's never too late. “Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” ― Louis L'Amour xo Kc www.kacey.co
There's a great quote by author Louis L'Amour that says, "Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value." If we consider how many unique experiences we've all had, it's easy to see how the knowledge we've gained through each of our life lessons and experiences can become a powerful form of currency in someone else's life. In our own lives, we cash in on the lessons we've learned as soon as we make different or better choices than we did in the past (presumably before we knew better). Rather than letting those lessons end with just our experience, we should pass that wisdom along to the people in our lives and share what we know with our network in an effort to build up our communities and the new generation coming up behind us...
Beau L'Amour was born in Los Angeles, California. His father was Louis L'Amour, a well known author of magazine and paperback fiction. His mother was Katherine Adams, the daughter of a silent movie actress and a southern California real estate developer. Throughout a good deal of his youth Beau lived in West Hollywood, an unincorporated section of Los Angeles county, known as a center of counter-culture and beatnik life. He grew up surrounded by his parents eclectic and eccentric group of friends; Austrian philosophers, American Indians, FBI agents, members of the Hollywood Ten, Eastern European refugees, Thai aristocracy, mysteriously talented dealers in primitive art and a wide array of writers, from Ray Bradbury to Jim Thompson.

I mean, seriously, this story should have been a headline years ago. But finally Amazon is taking steps to cut down on scams and abuse from unscrupulous authors using their Kindle Direct Publishing service. Amazon has filed five complaints against authors who are violating the terms of service, with everything from trafficking in fake reviews to “link abuse,” where an author puts a link in the front of the book that sends readers to the back of the book, in an effort to capitalize on Amazon’s page reads policy. Amazon is seeking more than half a million dollars in damages from five authors. It remains to be seen whether these actions will curtail some of KDP’s woes, but a start is a start. — http://bit.ly/WPC146-Amazon-LawsuitMicrosoft quietly rolls out E-Bookstore — Authors looking to reach a very specific and narrow group of readers can rejoice … Microsoft has finally rolled out its eBook store, which is available exclusively to users of the Windows 10 operating system. Ebooks can be purchased via the Microsoft Store app, or on Microsoft’s website. When asked if Microsoft will eventually support devices beyond Windows 10, such as the prolific and near universal Apple iPhone or the stunningly popular Google Android platform, Microsoft replied in the vaguest terms possible. Which means “no, but maybe.Someday. If we get around to it.” — http://bit.ly/WPC146-MicrosoftSmashwords Founder Mark Coker thinks Indies are losing their independence — Citing an ever-increasing dependence on KDP Select, Mark Coker wrote in the Huffington post that “Authors who now derive 100% of their sales from Amazon are no longer indie authors. They’re dependent authors. I suppose we have indie authors and de-authors now.” A bit cynical, but does he have a point? Personally, I believe the “independent” in “independent authors” is more about owning your career and being in control of your decisions, but Coker’s point is that dependence on one sales channel will lead to losing options. Whether this is the future of Indies, we really can’t say.

Amanda and Jenn discuss Alaska reads, classics, LGBTQ+ YA, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Genius: The Game by Leopoldo Gout and The Secret Agent Training Manual by Elizabeth Singer Hunt. Questions 1. Hi! I'll be visiting a few cities in Alaska this summer, and I was wondering if you could recommend some books set in (relatively) modern day Alaska. Most books set in Alaska I've seen focus on either the Gold Rush, the Yukon (where no really lives...?), being stranded in the wilderness and having to survive, or some combination thereof. I'm more interested in the everyday lives of people in Alaska. Do these kinds of books set in Alaska even exist? Please let me know! I'm open to fiction, non-fiction, and even poetry. --Jess 2. Hello, I am the public librarian in a small (fairly conservative) town. We have a limited YA collection that has been slowly been building over the years. There is a real lack of diversity in the collection, especially concerning LBGT books. I am looking for books that cover this area but aren't overly explicit or fantasy as much of the YA collection is fantasy. Thank you! --Maggie 3. I just discovered your podcast and am loving catching up on all the back episodes, so thanks! I am a fiction revert book lover. After reading Beverly Cleary and Roald Dahl under the covers with a flashlight, I gave up reading in high school and college when a bad English teacher killed it for me (besides Harry Potter and cliffs notes). Only in the last few years have I really begun to fall in love with reading fiction. And more than anything, I'm really digging reading all the classics I missed. I know that I missed so many good books in all those years, and it's hard to navigate which to go for. I would like to pick ones that would be five star material. Some of my favorites have been To Kill a Mockingbird, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Anne of Green Gables, Rebecca, A Wrinkle in Time, and Count of Monte Cristo. I'm looking for classics, although contemporary classics would be great too. Thanks so much!! --Ally 4. Hi ladies first off, just wanted to say how comforting and glad i am to have discovered your podcast recently. Hearing about such a wide array of books, comics and audiobooks has really made me feel like my reading world has been such a narrow one but also has made me really excited to expand my reading experiences Okay, i have noticed that i have started reading less and less as i grow up and over the past couple of years, i would be lucky if i could even read 2 books a years. I really want to get back into one of my first love in storytelling but am kind of at a lost to where to start. im looking for any kind of book that will just have me absolutely engrossed and fall back into love with reading. i usually read YA of young character centred books but am totally open to anything new. the last couple of books i read that reminded me how much i love reading were: Eleanor and Park by Rainbow rowell Trouble is a friend of mine by Stephanie tromly The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and Viral series by Kathy Reichs --Dami 5. Hi Jenn and Amanda! I love reading about people bonding with their dogs. However, I find that 99% of the time, if the dog plays a key role in the book then something terrible will happen to it. Can you help me find a happy book about dogs that will not wrench my heart out and bring me to tears? I read What the Dog Knows by Cat Warren and enjoyed her style of non-fiction. I would prefer a fiction recommendation at the moment, but I am open to any recommendations! Thank you! --Marie 6. I'm based in the UK and love the access that your show gives me to a wider range of books. I am in a book club and when it's my turn to choose I like to challenge the group (the others often usually pick contemporary literary fiction which is great but it's great to try something different). I fancy reading a graphic novel as I've not read one before but am scared off by the fantasy and comic book characters. Can you suggest 3 options that may be more of my thing? Thanks --Janine 7. Hi Jenn and Amanda! I am a retired first-grade teacher and for the last year or so have been channeling my love for reading aloud into reading to my father-in-law, who lives in a care center near my home. I am wondering if you have any suggestions for things he might enjoy. He is in his early 80s. He had a stroke a few years ago, resulting in some limitations with short-term memory, so short stories and/or plots that are not too hard to follow between reading sessions work best. (I usually go a couple times each week.) He LOVES westerns, cowboy stories, old movies, and generally adventurous/action-packed plot lines. We have read quite a few Louis L'Amour books and short stories. I am looking for things that are generally upbeat, and not too risque. Thank you so much! --Kathy 8. Hi! Money has been short lately but I finally have enough to invest in some really great books! Do you have any suggestions on what books and authors are worth my hard earned money? I will read anything, preferably fiction and if it's longer than 600 pages I will be very happy. Would also enjoy something that's not western culture. Thank you! --Hanna Books Discussed Dot Journaling by Rachel Wilkerson Miller Into the Water by Paula Hawkins Baby It's Cold Outside by Addison Fox If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name by Heather Lende Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee Little & Lion by Brandy Colbert The Woman In White Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston Done Dirt Cheap by Sarah Nicole Lemon An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir Stay by Allie Larkin Dog On It by Spencer Quinn Alias Vol 1 by Brian Michael Bendis Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant by Roz Chast The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt The Rise of Ransom City by Felix Gilman A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James Sacred Games by Vikram Chandra

Louis L'Amour brings you the Wild West as you've never heard it before. This classic story,Strawhouse Trail On a seldom-used smugglers' trail between Mexico and Austin, a man lies dying. Texas Ranger Chick Bowdrie hears the shots ring out in the canyon, but he can't get to the man before he dies. Bowdrie takes the stranger's body to Valverde, the nearest town. Upon arriving at Valverde, a crowd gathers, watchful and silent as Bowdrie tells his story to the sheriff. In the crowd is the beautiful blonde Rose Murray, owner of the RM Ranch. She appears especially affected by the sight of the dead stranger. Rose explains to Bowdrie that she has reason to believe the stranger was coming to see her in order to right a terrible wrong. Twenty years ago, the Chilton Gang robbed her family. The loss of their gold brought the family to the edge of poverty and, Rose is convinced, caused the premature death of her father. But the gold stolen from the RM Ranch was never found. And once Bowdrie discovers the identity of the dead man, he wonders if the surviving members of the Chilton Gang have returned to recover the hidden loot. Then a sniper takes a shot at Bowdrie, and suddenly, it's personal. Purchase Louis L'Amour products Here
