Happy New Year and welcome back to Part Two of the Best of Binge Reading 2022, and the seven top shows for the year as selected by you, our listeners. We ran the first part of the Best of Binge Reading 2022 Part 1 in the first week of January, so if you missed out on that, do check it out. Hi, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler. The seven authors represented here, like those before them, range across the whole field of popular fiction from romance maestro Jayne Ann Krentz to Kate Quinn and her remarkable spy story - set - it in of all places – in Ukraine - during the Second World War. We travel from from Patti Callahan's inspirational revisiting of Narnia and the story of the love affair between CS Lewis and Joy Davidman, to a surprise nonfiction book, our first ever, but such a good story. Kate Langbroek's Ciao Bella, her heart warming account of taking her family of six to Italy for a year. As you'll know if you heard Part One, the selection is based solely on the number of people who listened to the shows that ran between December 1st, 2021 and December 1st, 2022. Taking those dates allows us to compile and edit the show. In time for posting in January 23. To give you the flavor, we include selected highlights from each show. We hope that you might discover new authors you've missed first time round or find books you might want to get into in 2023. Just as our listeners hailed from all over the world so do the authors represented here so here it is, Part Two of the Best of Binge Reading 2022. I do hope you do enjoy it, and if you do, leave us a comment or a review so others will find us too Introducing romantic suspense author Jayne Ann Krentz Jayne Ann Krentz is an internationally celebrated author who has sold 35 million copies of her books worldwide. But when she started out, she spent six years battering on publisher's doors trying to find her way in. I asked her about those years. Jenny Wheeler: And you were writing for yourself and really just for the joy of it, for that whole six years? Jayne Ann Krentz: I wouldn't call it the joy of it. I always say that if you're doomed to write, you don't have any option. It really is a kind of an addiction. It's a compulsion, and if you can quit writing, you will quit writing because there are enough frustrations in the business that you're not going to fight it. Every writer I know has just kept at it. That's how it works. I think it's because we can't stop and I say that, but there does come a time for some writers when they do stop, all of a sudden. I look back in their names that have just gone, and I have no idea where they went. I guess they just walked away. I can't do that. Creating a 'Jayneverse' for her readers Jenny Wheeler: Yes. That's interesting. So now you've created what you described at the end of one of your recent books as a Jayneverse, A universe but it's a Jayneverse. Now that's an interesting concept. It's something that almost seems to have stolen up on you? Can you explain to readers who don't know what a Jayneverse is? Jayne Ann Krentz: Well, I have my editor to thank for pointing it out. We were talking one day about the next book, what would the next book be like, what did I want to work with? And  with so many of my books, I want to work with similar things. I love working with the psychic vibe, and with a certain kind of hero and a certain kind of heroine. Certain kinds of plots. I don't do gore, or serial killer plots. I do more murder mystery type plots. And I like the romantic vibe in the books. And after a while you create a world of that. Every writer has a ‘verse,' I think, a metaverse and I think they spend their entire careers exploring that universe. And it's endless. It's as broad as your imagination. So in some sense, every author has their own personal universe, and that's what they write out of, that's what they write from, and that's what they explore.

Don Noble is joined by Patti Callahan, author of the new novel Becoming Mrs. Lewis.

What are memories? Do our memories make us who we are? What happens to “us” when our memory fails, and cognitive decline ensues? I discussed these profound questions with one of my favorite authors, Patti Callahan Henry.

Prior to becoming an author, she was a Pediatric Clinical Nurse Specialist with a fascination for memory and focused on neurology and brain trauma. Her novel, The Favorite Daughter, joined our collection of carefully vetted books in November 2019.  “Memory,” she says, “haunts all my work but takes center stage in this one. Who do we become without those memories?”  Patti is the recipient of The Christy Award 2019 Winner “Book of the Year”; The Harper Lee Distinguished Writer of the Year for 2020, and the Alabama Library Association Book of the Year for 2019. She is also a contributor to the monthly life lesson essay column for Parade Magazine.

WRITERS' BLOCK Ron Block and Patti Callahan explore the retelling of the Peter Pan story with Liz Michalski, author of Darling Girl

This episode begins with an author interview, Patti Callahan, is today's guest. Immediately following is The guide to some of the new books coming out the week of May 17, 2022.

WRITERS' BLOCK Ron Block and Patti Callahan talk with Aimie Runyan and Kelli Stuart about taking little known stories from history and crafting powerful historical fiction novels surrounding these stories.

WRITERS' BLOCK Ron Block and Patti Callahan explore the exploration of Mythology both in Fiction with Jennifer Sain and in Non-Fiction with Natalie Haynes

As Patti Callahan began writing the novel, shortly after she started researching the long-ago shipwreck, it was finally discovered deep beneath the sea. As luck would have it, just a few weeks into Callahan's research, the actual steamship Pulaski was found thirty miles off the coast of Wilmington, NC, a hundred feet deep. Callahan was given rare access to the recovery mission and the artifacts retrieved. The author used this special insight to shape details about the ship and its passengers in her novel. The characters are drawn from actual shipwreck victims and survivors, particularly the Lamar family of Savannah, who were used as the real-life inspiration for Callahan's main characters. In 1838, steam travel had become the way to travel north to escape dreadfully hot summers for well-to-do southerners. SURVIVING SAVANNAH follows one such family of eleven, the Longstreets, who boarded the luxury steamship together along with Savannah's elite, but would never make it to their final destination as a boiler explosion sank the ship thirty miles off the coast of North Carolina with few survivors. In present day Savannah, history professor Everly Winthrop is asked to guest-curate a new museum collection focusing on artifacts recovered from the steamship Pulaski, wreckage that was just discovered 180 years later. Everly has suffered a great loss of her own and this opportunity may just be the thing to save her from the grips of grief. As she dives into the research, she uncovers the astounding history of the Longstreets and two extraordinary women from this family: a known survivor, Augusta Longstreet, and her niece, Lilly Forsyth, who was never found, along with her child. These aristocratic women were part of Savannah's society, but when the ship exploded, each was faced with difficult decisions. ABOUT PATTI CALLAHAN Patti Callahan is a New York Times bestselling author and is the recipient of the Harper Lee Award for Distinguished Writer of the Year. She is a frequent speaker at luncheons, book clubs, and women's groups. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

This “F&F Special Feature” is all about Patti Callahan's SURVIVING SAVANNAH. Newly released in paperback, this is the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling novel that none other than Kristin Hannah called “an atmospheric, compelling story of survival, tragedy, the enduring power of myth and memory, and the moments that change one's life.” Hear directly from Patti in a specially taped personal message which leads right into a recording the full F&F team—Patti, Kristin, Kristy, MKA, Ron & Meg—made while they were together in February at the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum in Savannah, GA. The crew talks about the things each of us saves and why, and they handle actual artifacts pulled from the bottom of the sea in the Pulaski's wreckage, all while standing in front of the scale model of the "Titanic of the South" itself.

Bestselling novelist and Friends & Fiction co-host Patti Callahan Henry joins the show this week to tell us about her new book Once Upon a Wardrobe, which pulls back the curtain on the early life of C. S. Lewis.  We discussed what the Narnia books have meant to Patti, how the pandemic set this novel in motion,  soaking up the magic of the setting on a research trip, and much more.

WRITERS' BLOCK Ron Block and Patti Callahan celebrate the Earphones Audio Award given to Once Upon a Wardrobe featuring the narrator of the audiobook and the editor of Audiofile Magazine, who present these awards.

Cynthia Erivo is nothing short of amazing as she narrates Patti Callahan's historical novella about Florence Nightingale. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Robin Whitten discuss Erivo's spectacular narration that gets the emotional tone of this story exactly right. Callahan examines a few years of the famous nurse's life as she struggled with shedding Victorian expectations and fulfilling her calling to reform health care.

Offering them to us whenever we pay attention and at the same time we hold landscapes in the hidden places of our individual memories and stories.” We know you will enjoy this episode with Patti Callahan Henry as much as we did.

After the presentation, we will be discussing the book Driftwood Summer by Patti Callahan Henry. DB 71559 Below is the synopsis from Bookshare. In the small seaside town of Palmetto Beach, the Sheffield sisters — responsible Riley, vivacious Maisy, and fun-loving Adalee — reunite to celebrate their mother's birthday and try to save the family bookstore, which has long been a beloved gathering place in their tight-knit community. But June also marks the return of Mack Logan, who thirteen years ago was Riley's best friend and Maisy's teenage crush. His choice of Maisy over Riley during that pivotal summer destroyed the special closeness between the sisters, and sent their lives in very different directions. Now Riley, a single mom who doubts any man will ever live up to the ideal Mack Logan, must work with her sisters while hiding a shattering secret about their mother. Maisy, a California designer, still blames Riley for ruining her one true love. And Adalee, a college coed, resents the family's intrusion into her summer plans. When Mack arrives, all three sisters are forced to confront their long-held beliefs about the conflicts that tore them apart and the bonds of love and loyalty that still draw them together. Will they allow the past to define the future? Join us in this zoom meeting to discuss this great book.

Patti Callahan Henry is a New York Times, USA Today, and The Globe best-selling author of fifteen novels, including one of her recent best sellers BECOMING MRS. LEWIS; it's a unique improbable love story of two real people, Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis. She makes it look so easy! We'll talk to Patti about the creative process and everything that goes into becoming a best-selling author, from start to finish.  I also wanted to talk specifically about BECOMING MRS. LEWIS. I really loved this story; the narrative is that of a very strong woman who lived in the 1940s and 50s and how she left an abusive relationship to find herself.  It's not something women traditionally did back in the day ---- but Joy did it.Patti is the recipient of The Christy Award - 2019 Winner - "Book of the Year” and The Harper Lee Distinguished Writer of the Year for 2020.    She even has a popular podcast of her own,  "Behind the Scenes of Becoming Mrs. Lewis and she's the co-host of a weekly web show Friends and Fiction with 4 other bestselling authors.  And if that wasn't enough to impress you, Patti has another novel that will be released next year, SURVIVING SAVANNAH. I've reconnected with Patti and I have really enjoyed watching her success story unfold. Let's turn the page ….and get to know Patti Callahan Henry.
