5thPodiversary andWWAR For AprilShow NotesWe are celebrating our 5th“Podiversary” this month and, as a subject, we have decided to return to yearone and revisit some of the authors from our very first year.Kathy reported on Jana DeLeon who was featured on episode 8 for her book “Louisiana Longshot.”Kathy found that she has 24 books in the series now and reported on “Flame and Fortune” the 22ndbookin the series.It's New Year's in Sinful, and the competition for the New Year's Queen is heating up as the warring churchesgo head-to-head. Fortune Redding is not the sequined dress kind of woman, but reluctantly agrees to partakein the debacle so that Ida Belle and Gertie can best their nemesis, Celia, who's put up former Sinful mean girlRJ Rogers.RJ and her friend Brock Benoit left plenty of devastation in their wake when they fled Sinful after high school.So when they return and Brock is found dead, there's no shortage of suspects. Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertieknow all too well what it's like to live under suspicion of a crime with no resolution. When good people becomethe targets of gossip, they know they have to rush to unravel the tangled lives of RJ and Brock and expose akiller before the wrong person's reputation is ruined. Or worse—they're arrested for a crime they didn'tcommit.Ann then reported on “A White Hot Plan” by Michael H. Rubin. Mike appeared as our second authorwe actually interviewed on episode 9 for his book “The Cottoncrest Curse.” Michael writes his books incollaboration with his wife Ayan Rubin.A group of alt-right terrorists decides that now is the time―and New Orleans is the place―to make anexplosive statement that will force the world to acknowledge the superiority of the white supremacistmovement. Disgraced former New Orleans homicide detective Starner Gautreaux is now a poorly paidsheriff's deputy relegated to writing his weekly quota of speeding tickets in a sleepy south Louisiana parish.His mundane life is all-too-predictable until several unusual events cause him to suspect something isseriously amiss. While the local coroner classifies the resulting deaths as accidental, Starner's priorexperience leads him to believe that not only are they homicides, but also that they signal something far moresinister. Taut action bubbles up from the swamps of Louisiana to the hidden haunts of underworld bosses,from small-town life to urban grit, and from a high-speed highway shootout to a terrifying confrontation in theheart of the French Quarter. White supremacists seek to impose their will on a city swamped with carefreetourists, but Starner Gautreaux is determined not to let that happen.We broke the episode into two parts due to the length and will broadcast part 2 tomorrow.

One failed marriage. Two jobs lost. Three maxed out credit cards. “Schex” Schexnaydre was a failure as a lawyer. Until three weeks ago, he had no clients and no cash — no clients except for infamous toxic waste entrepreneur G.G. Guidry, who's just been murdered, and no cash, except for the $4,452,737 Guidry had stashed with him for safekeeping. When Schex's estranged ex-wife, Taylor, is accused of Guidry's murder, she pleads with Schex to defend her. He refuses, but the more he says no to Taylor, the deeper Schex gets dragged into the fall-out from Guidry's nefarious schemes, ending up as the target of all those vying to claim Guidry's millions for themselves.

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Michael H. Rubin to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss his love of writing and the new book CASHED OUT.
Not every author can combine history, mystery and legal issues in one book. Michael H. Rubin, and his co-author Ayan Rubin, accomplish just that with their Bayou Thrillers set in the historical melting pot of South Louisiana. Michael and I discuss how he and his wife manage to share the task of writing compelling, page-turning legal thrillers, which seems to include no small number of very early morning walks.

I'm your host Alexandra Amor and I'm here today with Michael H. Rubin. Hi, Michael. Michael: Hi. How are you doing? Alexandra: Very well, thank you. How are you? Michael: Excellent. Alexandra: Good. Good. Well, let me give our listeners a little bit of an introduction to you. Michael H. Rubin is a former professional Jazz pianist, and I have to say, you're the first Jazz pianist I've had on the show, who has performed in several states as well as in clubs in the New Orleans French quarter. He's also a former radio and television announcer, a nationally known speaker and a humorist who has given over 400 presentations throughout the country. He's also a full-time practising attorney as if he didn't have enough on his plate who helps manage a law firm with offices from the West coast to the Gulf coast to the East coast. His debut novel, The Cottoncrest Curse, won the INDIEFAB Book of The Year Gold award as the best thriller and suspense novel published by a university or independent press. Cashed Out is his latest novel and it will be available August 18th, 2017 and we're gonna talk about both your novels today. Michael, why don't we start by talking about this collaboration with your wife? On your website, you mentioned that the books have your name on them but the work is actually a collaboration, so tell us a bit about that. Michael: Absolutely. Well, we walk early in the morning. When I say early, I mean early, 4;30 a.m. And we talk through the plots and the characters and we write our books together. Now the question is always, if we write them together, how come her name is not on? When our first novel came out, our agent in New York said, "Well, look, you could publish a novel with two names but nobody understands fiction by a committee unless you're James Patterson," for the first book. And you could have a fictitious name but then you'd have to create a back ground. And since both novels are legal thrillers, well, I decided we would use my name because I'm the lawyer and she is a television producer, but it's community property. There's no problem. It's a joint effort. Alexandra: Right, and so how does it work? Let's start at the beginning I guess. Who had the idea first to write "The Cottoncrest Curse?" Michael: We worked on it together. We had actually been walking early in the morning and to keep ourselves awake, we think up characters and people and backgrounds and we start taking notes. And after we had enough notes we said, "We could make a novel out of this." So we need to start with the idea of a novel which started with the idea of the characters. Alexandra: Oh, interesting. Okay, and so it's set two decades I think after the American civil war,
