They're back! In Andrew Shaffer's sequel to the New York Times bestseller Hope Never Dies, the bromantic thriller that saw the former president and vice president tumble down a Delaware rabbit hole of conspiracy and murder, Obama and Biden are once again drawn into a web of intrigue only they can untangle. This time, when Biden joins his old friend and boss in Chicago, a stolen BlackBerry leads to a deeper cabal that unfolds in speakeasies, high-rises, and the streets of the Windy City's South Side. Shaffer's other genre-bending bestsellers include Fifty Shames of Earl Grey, How to Survive a Sharknado and Other Unnatural Disasters, and The Day of the Donald. (recorded 7/15/2019)

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of gun-totin’ gumshoes with no regard for their own health or welfare – let alone their mother’s expensive wardrobe… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! Here’s a great title for a mystery novel: Murder and Other Unnatural Disasters.

LIDA SIDERIS podcast excerpt: "My day job as a lawyer can be a bit intense. So this book was an escape hatch for me, carved with words, zany characters, odd situations, action and adventure the whole way." You can LISTEN to this interview with lawyer and novelist LIDA SIDERIS, author of MURDER AND OTHER UNNATURAL DISASTERS, by clicking the audio player above! The good news is that she delivers a fun, frothy read with lots of kooky showbiz types circling our heroine, amateur sleuth Corrie Locke. You might say I came for the title and stayed for the characterization, as Sideris moves the story along with a cast of characters straight out of Central Casting and plot twists that would be unlikely in Des Moines. LIDA SIDERIS podcast excerpt: "I've been asked by people, 'Is there a "Me" character in the book?' And I've said, 'Not unless you've done this and that.' I asked someone who worked closely with me (when I was a Hollywood studio attorney), 'Did anyone seem familiar to you?' She said, 'No. I wish things like that happened!" Sideris started her career as a law clerk for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, and later worked as a business affairs director at Lorimar-Telepictures (which is curiously hyphenated like Keith-Ameripictures in her novel). She currently works as executive director for a legal non-profit organization and writes on the side.
