Comenzaremos el segmento de actualidad comentando las enormes manifestaciones que tuvieron lugar en todo Estados Unidos el pasado sábado. A continuación, centraremos nuestra atención en Europa. Por primera vez en los últimos 35 años, Alemania ha emitido una alerta sobre la creciente probabilidad de que haya guerra. El segmento de ciencia lo dedicaremos al Premio Nobel de Economía 2025, concedido a Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, y Peter Howitt por su trabajo sobre cómo el progreso tecnológico y la destrucción creativa posibilitan el crecimiento económico sostenido. Y, finalmente, hablaremos sobre el debate, en Estados Unidos, en torno al espectáculo del descanso durante la próxima Super Bowl. En particular, el debate se centra en cuestiones de representación y de idioma en los deportes y el mundo del entretenimiento estadounidenses. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, el verbo Gustar. En esta conversación hablaremos de una leyenda que encontramos en muchos lugares de España con distintas variantes. Hablamos de la Santa Compaña; una reunión de almas del Purgatorio que vagan noche tras noche. Pocos la pueden ver, pero esa visión, es su maldición. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Como pez en el agua. La usaremos para hablar de la apasionante vida que tuvo la actriz estadounidense Ava Gardner en la capital de España. En los años cincuenta, la estrella americana descubrió una España atrasada, pero alegre y divertida. Su amor por el cante flamenco, los toros y la fiesta era por todos bien conocido. Millones de personas acuden a las manifestaciones “No Kings” en todo Estados Unidos en apoyo a la democracia Las autoridades federales alemanas publican una guía que alerta sobre la posibilidad de que haya guerra El Premio Nobel de Economía 2025 es una alerta oportuna sobre el progreso Bad Bunny anima a los aficionados al fútbol americano a que aprendan español La Santa Compaña Ava Gardner, una mujer libre en la España de Franco

My name is Jonathan Moller. Today is October 17th, 2025, and today we have an interview with audiobook narrator Hollis McCarthy. Hollis has narrated many audiobooks, including numerous books from the Ghost and Cloak Mage series, so we'll talk with her about that. Before we get to our main topic, we'll have Coupon of the Week and then a progress update on my current writing projects. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragonskull series at my Payhip store, and that coupon code is DRAGONSKULL25. The coupon code is valid through October 27th, 2025. So if you need some new ebooks to read for this fall, we've got you covered. And as always, the coupon code and the links to my store will be available in the show notes. Now for an update on my current writing projects. As of this recording, I am 80% of the way through the first round of edits in Cloak of Worlds, so making good progress and if all goes well, the book should be out before the end of the month. I'm also 14,000 words into Blade of Shadows, which will be my next main project after Cloak of Worlds is published, which means I also have to write the outline for Elven-Assassin soon, and that will be the fifth book in the Rivah series. In audiobook news, recording will be underway next week for Blade of Flames. That will be narrated excellently by Brad Wills. Ghost in Siege is now out. It should be available at of all the audiobook stories (except Spotify) and it should be available there in a few days. And that is the final book in my Ghost Armor series that is excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy. So that is where I'm at with my current writing and audiobook and publishing projects, which makes for a good segue into our main topic, our interview with Hollis McCarthy, which begins now. 00:03:56 Interview With Hollis McCarthy Hi everyone. I'm here today with Hollis McCarthy, who is a classically trained actor. Hollis has played leads in regional and off-Broadway theater, specializing in Shakespeare. On CBS. she's been a recurring guest star judge on Bull, the president of Ireland on Bluebloods, and a senator on Netflix's House of Cards. She's narrated more than 300 books for a variety of publishers and is the proud co-author of her mom Dee Maltby's epic fantasy series, The Magic of Larlion. Hollis, thanks for coming on the show today. Hollis: My pleasure. Jonathan: So to start, can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got into acting and performing? Hollis: That's a great question. I think it all started with doing my little brother's Sesame Street finger puppets. He's 10 years younger than me, so I mean, I got to reread all my favorite books with him and I started voicing the finger puppets to Burt, Ernie and Cookie Monster and all those guys in the backseat of the car and playing all the characters. And then my brother went into theater. My other brother's seven years older than me, and I used to go see his shows up at the college when I was in high school and kind of fell in love with it there. I absolutely meant to be an aeronautical engineer/physicist like my dad, but it didn't end up working out. I fell in love with theater and went to Stratford. I had a dual major because I was in an honors program, so I didn't have to declare a major until my fifth year of undergrad. But then I went to Stratford up in Canada and I saw two Shakespeare shows in one day and that was it. I had to do that. That was what I loved. Jonathan: Well, since we've had many audiobooks together, I'm glad it worked out that way. Hollis: Me too. Yeah, so I got my BFA in acting, and then I got my MFA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in performance, and I was lucky enough to have some great coaches from the RSC and did a bunch more Shakespeare, and I've done that regionally a lot. And then I fell into audiobooks because I got tired of traveling, and I love to work from my home in my jammies. Jonathan: That is the dream. Speaking of that, could you tell us a bit more about how you sort of got into audiobooks or ended up doing a lot of that? Hollis: Yeah. Well, again, it starts with my childhood. My mom, who was a writer and an artist, she had, there were five of us kids and she would read out loud to us in the kitchen to keep us from fighting when we were cleaning up. So she started with Tolkien and Watership Down and Narnia and all of that. And then I got to, like I said, read to my little brother all my favorite books. And so I started doing all different voices for the characters and I always thought that was normal until, of course I volunteered to read in class in high school and people thought I was some sort of freak, but I always loved playing all the characters. And so when I started looking at staying home more and what could I do to work from home instead of being on the road for work, which was great for a long time, but then at some point you want to stay home and have a life as an actor as well as doing what you love. And audiobooks seemed a good fit. So my husband, who's also an actor, took a class from Paul Rubin here in the city in New York. We live in the New York area now. And he got a bunch of good tips from that that he passed on to me. And then my agent got me an audition with Audible and Mike Charzuk there. I came in and read a couple of pieces for him and he came back to the booth with a book he wanted me to start on. And from there I just kept building and got a lot of great indie authors through ACX like you. I don't know how many books we've done together now. Jonathan: It's over 30, I think. Yeah, 30 over the last seven years. So it's been a while. Hollis: And you're seriously, I mean, I'm not saying this because I'm on your blog, but your series are absolutely my favorites, especially because, yeah, the two series that I do, one is Nadia from the Midwest like me and then the other one with Caina, the epic fantasy world, which uses all my British and Irish bits and I absolutely love them. So yeah, I've just kept building up, getting in with a few more publishers now, which is harder to do and I just love it. Our first booth, when the pandemic hit, we had to build a booth at home and I had been going to studios in the city up until that point, but it hit pretty suddenly. It was obvious on St. Patrick's Day when it was like us going to the studio and people who were absolutely desperate folks were the only other ones on the street. We had to stay home. So my husband took our rapier blade (we fight with swords. We're actor combatants, like you said). He took two broadsword blades and a rapier blade, and he's handy with carpentry, fortunately. That's how he worked his way through school. He bracketed those to the wall and we ordered through Amazon before they kind of shut down too. We ordered packing blankets to hang over them and I ordered a new microphone and a new interface and it was trial and error for a bunch of days. And we had an engineer on call who talked us through how to run the software programs and stuff, how to set them up. And from there I've just kept recording at home. I sometimes still go into the studios when they have a budget where they can spring for a studio, but mostly they want you to work from home these days. So that's mostly what I do. Jonathan: Oh, building a recording booth out of swords. That's very Caina. Hollis: It's very Caina. I love Caina. Caina is me as a young woman. If I had been a superhero, I would've been a Caina. All my favorite roles in Shakespeare were the girl as boy ones. You asked, one of my favorite roles in theater was when I was at Alabama Shakespeare and I was playing Queen Elizabeth in Richard III and dressing in gorgeous gowns and being very seductive and very powerful and manipulative and all that. But in the earlier scenes, we did the three plays and in the Richard III and the Henry VI we did all three. And in the earlier scenes where Elizabeth wasn't in, I got to dress up and doublet and hose and I like stippled some stipple of beard on my face and climbed a siege ladder with a sword in one hand and did a spectacular pratfall running away from the bad guys and would slide on my stomach on the deck of the stage and I would come out into the lobby and the other guys who were playing my fellow fighters would be holding up rating cards for how far I'd slid that day. Jonathan: Sounds like very practical cardio. Hollis: Yeah, very. It was a lot of fun. That was probably my most fun I've ever done, though I also loved Beatrice and Much Ado, which I got to do twice because she's just so funny and witty and passionate. She's great, and Shakespeare, you know. Jonathan: Very good. So after all these audiobooks, what goes into preparing to record an audiobook? Hollis: That's a great question, too. It depends on the book, really. And I'm lucky enough to do a lot of series now, so when you're doing a series, it gets easier as you go along. I remember with the first ones I did for you, the first Caina, it probably took me an hour of prep to get through the first chapter. There were so many made up place names that I needed to figure out how to say, and then you have to be consistent. Even if they're made up, you still have to be consistent. So I really used my theater training there because I learned the international phonetic alphabet when I was in school, and so I can write down phonetic pronunciations and for each book, I'm old school with my prep, I'll keep a legal pad and I'll write down phonetic pronunciations, the word, page number, and the phonetic pronunciation for each word, so I have a record. You don't retain them from book to book. Pronunciations is a big part of what you do. Also, character voices, because again, you want to be true to the author's intent and you want to stay consistent. Again, for Caina, it became very complicated because you had to have Caina's basic voice, which is this [speaks in Caina's voice]. She started out a bit higher because she was younger. And then as she aged, she's gotten more medium pitch-wise, but then she was in disguise as various people. She was disguised as a cockney guy for a while, and she was an Irish guy for a while. And so for each of those personas, you have to notate for yourself in the script. Oh, now she has this accent. Now she has this one. And really for each chunk of dialogue, every time a character speaks, I'll put the initial of their name and if there are a lot of characters in the scene, I will have to differentiate between them pretty frequently. If it's two characters and I know them both very well, then I kind of have the shorthand in my head. So the different character voices I also put on my legal pad so I have a record, so Calvia sounds like this [speaks a line in the character's voice]. And sometimes I'll write down physical aspects of them so that I can just kind of feel the character. And after I do them for a while, the feel of the character will give me the voice and you write down everything that the author says about the character too. I'll just notate for myself that will oftentimes give you the voice. If it's a good author, which thank God you are, you write in different voices, which makes my job easier. Jonathan: The joke I sometimes say is I didn't do audiobooks for the first seven years I was publishing, and people would ask me, how do you pronounce this? I say, I don't care, pronounce it however you want. And then suddenly we started doing audiobooks and suddenly no, it matters very much how it's pronounced. Hollis: Yeah, exactly. It's funny, I'm just looking at my tablet. I have your Shield of Power up on my tablet. I've been reading that on the treadmill and at lunch. But yeah, we have to keep tabs. And when we have so many books now, I've started special folders just for the Ghost series and the Cloak series because a lot of times a character will show up from several books previous and I go, I remember them, but I don't remember what they sounded like. So I will have notated forward alto, slightly Irish or something like that for them. I have shorthand for all of it, and so I'll do that. Jonathan: Yeah, I spent a lot of time with Control + F searching through Word documents, trying to remember the first time I wrote this character and what they looked like. Hollis: Yeah, I bet you do. Some writers I guess do, well, if they don't do it all themselves. And if they have somebody who's like an administrative assistant, they have somebody who gives you, I've gotten these from authors before. Their assistant will send me a story log of characters with everything that's said about the character. I'm like, oh, well, that's very organized and helpful, but I would think it would be massively time consuming. Jonathan: It is. I did hire someone to help me with that this year. It was getting to be too much to go back and search through things and it is a very time consuming project, but once it's done, it's very helpful because it's quite easy to find things and look things up and refresh your memory. Hollis: I bet so. When I was working on my mom's books, we hired an editor and she did a spreadsheet, a database kind of different terms and characters and what was said about them. And I go back to that and amend it all the time now that I'm trying to write book eight. Jonathan: Yeah, that kind of thing is very helpful. But on a related topic of preparation, since you've done audiobooks, stage, and TV, how would say narrating audiobooks is different from the experience of doing theater or TV? Hollis: The major thing and the hardest thing for me when I was starting out was you can't move around all the time. I had an engineer at Audible. It was just, and a lot of times the chair is very important because if you move, what you're bound to do, if you're producing your voice correctly, you need to sit up and you need to use your hands to express yourself, and you have to have an absolutely silent chair. And the chairs at Audible at that time, were not absolutely silent. So every time I moved, the chair would squeak and we'd have to stop and start again. So that was very, very hard for me. In fact, I've been doing so much audiobooks now, and I also do TV and film, but that's gone to all for auditioning for that. It's all self tape, which means it's just like head and shoulders, so still you're just kind of using a little part of your body. And I had a theater callback for Pygmalion in the city the other day, in person, in a studio, in a rehearsal room. The day before, I used to do those all the time, and that's so rare now for them to do in-person auditions since the pandemic. But I put on my character shoes and my skirt and I practice just being bigger, opening my body up and doing all this stuff I learned to do in school and that you do when you're on stage to own the space because the space is the back wall of the theater. And that's a big difference between theater, film, TV, and audiobooks is the scope of it. When I did Beatrice, I was in an 1,100 seat unamplified stone amphitheater outdoors in Colorado. So you can imagine the scope physically and vocally is so big. And then for TV, film and you have to what they say, reach the back wall of whatever space you're in. Well, for film and TV, the back wall is the camera. It's right in front of your face a lot of the times. And the back wall is really kind of the inside of your head. It's almost like you have to have internal gaze so that the thoughts are just happening. You don't have to project them, you don't have to project your voice because all the equipment comes right to you, and all you have to do is feel the feelings and think the thoughts and the camera and microphone picked that up. Similarly with audiobooks, I'm just in a little tiny padded booth. My microphone is just a few inches from my face, and so I could be very, very intimate and everything gets picked up, and you have to do a lot less work for the emotion to come through. Again, really all you have to do is kind of feel the emotion. And for me, that's always for me is being in the moment and feeling the moment and letting that dictate the pace and the vocals and everything. I guess I'm pretty Method. I'm very Method, but that's how I trained. It's what works for me. Not every narrator is like that. There's a million different proper ways to narrate, and that's just my take on it. But everything is right there. So it's just kind of keeping it much smaller and more intimate. And in fact, when you want to be big like [character name's said in the character's] voice and he was yelling a lot, and I would have to pull back from the microphone to let his scope come out. Jonathan: Well, after 30 audiobooks together, I can say that method definitely works. Related to that, as we mentioned earlier, you're now at over 300 titles on Audible over the last 12 years. Congratulations for that. What would you say is most surprising or unexpected things about audiobooks you learned during that time? Hollis: Oh, well, it was very surprising that we could make a booth out of sword blades and blankets. That surprised me. Yeah, that's a great question. It's surprising to me how simple I can be. I went back and I had an author recently who wanted me to do a new chapter to begin and end a book that I had done like 2014, something like that, shortly after I started. And I thought at the time that I was really filling these voices and what I did was fine. You're always your own worst critic. But what I've discovered now is the more you do it, the more you record, the more you use your instrument every single day for 300 some books, the more effortless it becomes and the more depth you can bring to it. And as a young actor, we always resist that. My acting coach used to say, age and experience. There's no substitute for it. I'm like, yeah, yeah, but talent and hard work, that's something. But it's really true that just the repetition, there's no substitute for it. Those chapters that I did, they were the same voices basically. But when I went back and listened to the original, I was like, oh, it surprised me how without really changing anything mechanically, the work has just gotten deeper, more effortless, but it sounds better at the same time. Does that make sense? Jonathan: It does. Because you've probably noticed I've redesigned the covers for the Caina series like seven times over the last 10 years. And every time you think this is it, this is it. I'm done. This is good. And then with more practice, you look back and think, well, maybe I can improve this again, though. I suppose that's not often something that happens in the audiobook world where you get to go back and revisit something you did previously. Hollis: That is one of the hardest and most surprising things about audiobooks. And I've heard people say that this happens to every young narrator when they're starting out, you get through the first two chapters of a new book and you go, oh God, now I get it. I want to go back and start again. Well, there's no do overs with audiobooks. With audiobooks, “done is good” is what they always tell you when you're starting out. So even in film and TV, which you don't get much rehearsal for, you get a couple of run run-throughs, but with audiobooks, you got your prep. Not everyone does, but I always read the whole book before I start if possible, because otherwise you get surprises. But you get your one read through, your prep, and then you go and yes, you can stop. You can punch and roll, edit over. If you make a mistake, you go back half a line, you start again there. But there's no evolution of the work, which is what's great about series too, I think, because with the series you get, yeah, Caina was here last time I did her and now she's going through something new. And then the character grows and it becomes less and less effortful, but it also becomes like someone you really know so that it gets so much deeper and it's so much more fun to play with. Jonathan: That makes sense. 12 years really is a long time to have done audio narration or anything. So what do you think is the key to sticking it out for audiobooks for the long term? Hollis: Well, a lot of things make a difference. I didn't do it before this interview, which is why my voice is kind of rocky, but I always warm up in the morning when I'm setting up a session. I always do a vocal warmup. You got to get a good night's sleep, you have to drink water every couple of pages. I have a tea that I drink that keeps my stomach quiet because stomach gurgles is another bad thing about audiobooks. You have to eat very carefully and drink tea to keep your stomach quiet. You don't want to have to stop every time for that. And a lot of training, a lot of vocal training. I had Linklater training and the Lavan training, and Linklater to me is the most useful. And a lot of the stuff that applies to Shakespeare applies to audiobooks too. You warm up, you get yourself breathing, you warm up your resonators, your sinus, your mask resonators, the back of your head, your chest resonators. For the men [imitates male voice], you really have to have your chest warmed up, get the vibrations going here. And so I get all that kind of going before I sit down in the booth. And that also keeps you, then you keep your throat open so you're not hurting yourself. You have to have good posture so that the air can move from your diaphragm up to your throat and have it be open. And then optimally, like with Caina, Caina has a lot of mask resonance. Brits do; they are very far forward. So you really have to have all that warmed up and then that has to have no impediments between the front of your face all the way down to your diaphragm where the breath originates. And if you can do all that, then you could be an audiobook narrator. Also diction. I warm up my diction to everything from [imitates several vocal exercises] in just to get your mouth moving. You don't want lazy mouth with, there's a lot of enunciation in audiobooks that's important. But I also don't like, I really hate when you hear people enunciating. I don't like that. And with Caina, even though she's upper class, she's not like that. She's not pretentious. And certainly Nadia, you want to be able to understand what she says, but you don't want her to be enunciating. That be weird. So all of all that stuff I worked on in grad school and did all the Shakespeare plays, I would always get to the theater an hour early. You have to be there half hour for makeup and check in, but I would always get there an hour early and do at least 15 to 20 minutes of physical and vocal warmups. And so those habits have really helped me. I think I have pipes of iron, fortunately. I'm very lucky. So all that stuff really matters with audiobooks. Jonathan: It's amazing in how many different fields of life the answer seems to boil down to do the things you're supposed to over and over again forever. Hollis: Exactly. That's really true. When are we going to get old enough that we don't have to do that anymore? [laughs] Jonathan: Just one side question. What is Linklater training? I don't think I've heard that term before. Hollis: Oh, Kristen Linklater is, she's probably the biggest American vocal coach. She has a lot of books out there about voice and the actor and all of her training stems from allowing the breathing to drop in as she calls it, not forcing it to drop into the diaphragm, and then creating a pool of vocal vibrations that go from the diaphragm through an open throat to the resonators. And you can use every resonator in your body to project that sound. When I was doing Beatrice and Gertrude at Colorado Shakes in that unamplified stone amphitheater in the foothills of the Rockies, there was winds that would come down out of the mountains when we were on stage, and that theater was known for eating women's voices. And I had to thank God the vocal coach that summer was a Linklater coach, which is the method that I trained in, and he helped me work with even resonators. If you can imagine in your back, just using the whole chest box and shaking the vibrations through your body so that basically you're making your whole human skeleton an amplifier for the vocal energy coming from your breath. And that's Linklater. She's fascinating. If you ever want to study voice, you can't do better than Linklater, to my mind. Cicely Berry is another one I studied. She's the British guru for the RSC and the Royal Shakespeare Company and all those people, and she's great too. Jonathan: Well, that's just exciting. I learned something new today. Hollis: That's always good. Always learning from your books too about Medieval combat. Jonathan: We always want to learn something new every day, whether we like it or not. Hollis: Right. Jonathan: So to turn it around a little bit, what advice would you give a new indie author who is working with a narrator for the first time? Hollis: Oh yeah, I actually, I made some notes. I thought that was such a good question. Make sure that your narrator knows what you expect from them upfront. If you go through ACX, they have this great thing called the first 15 where your narrator is, if you're new to this author, you record the first 15 minutes of the book and you put that on ACX for your author to listen to and approve. You don't have to approve it if you don't like it. And in fact, if you don't like it, it's very important you don't approve it and you tell your narrator specifics about what you need them to change before they go on with the book. Because what you can't really do is once a book is recorded, say, oh, I really don't like it. I'm not going to pay you for it. I need you to go back and do it again. That's not acceptable and it will make narrators never want to work with you. But what's great about the first 15 is you have that chance to say, well, this voice was, she was a little higher than I wanted. I hear her in my head more as an alto because for me as a narrator, what I want to do is I want to take what you, Jonathan, hear your characters being as you're writing them in your head. I want to take that and translate that into an audiobook for you. So the more you give your narrators information about your characters, the better they're going to voice it. Also, if there's a style in your head, like with Nadia books, there's a little touch of noir there. It was a dark and stormy night kind of feel. If there's a style you kind of hear in your head, that would be a good thing to give them. But ACX has also, I think a character sheet where you can tell them about the different characters. You can fill that out for your narrator. That's tremendously helpful, age of the character, if you hear a vocal pitch range, soprano, alto, tenor, bass, any dialects, they need to know that. The narrator's nightmare is you finish up a book and you shouldn't do this, you should read ahead, but you get to the last line: “I love you, darling,” he said in his beautiful French accent. Jonathan: It explicitly shows up there for the first time. Hollis: Exactly. And then for the narrator, it's like, oh my God, I have to go back and rerecord everything this guy said, which is hours and hours and hours of work for you and your editor who will kill you. But yeah, let them know about all the character traits that you can and just, I think it's on the narrator too, to, I've been lucky with my authors, we always have a good give and take. I come from a theater background and you want to collaborate. You want to realize the author's vision and you want to be a partner in creating that. So try to be partners and give them more information than you think they need and use that first 15. It is totally acceptable to send it back and say, I'm going to need you to do this again, and I'm going to need these changes. And then once you get that ironed out, then you'll probably be ready to go ahead and have a book. And when you get the book, you won't be shocked and you'll be happy (hopefully) with the read. Is that helpful? Jonathan: It does. New authors, if you're listening to this, listen to that advice. Hollis: Yeah. Jonathan: Now for a slightly different topic, can you tell us about the Magic of Larlion books and how you ended up publishing that series? Hollis: Yeah. The Magic of Larlion is an epic fantasy adventures series seven, almost eight volumes. I'm working on finishing book eight now. The first book, Wizard Stone, my brilliant mother Dee Maltby started years and years ago, probably, gosh, maybe 20 years ago now, I think when my little brother moved out from home and she had an empty nest and she had more time to write, and she wrote Wizard Stone, and she sent it out a few places, and that was the only way you could get published back when she wrote it and didn't pursue it, she got discouraged, I think, by rejections from publishers, sat in her drawer for a while, and my sister-in-law, Dana Benningfield, who's also an actor, and she was my best friend even before she married my brother. I introduced them. So yeah, that was all me. She was an editor professionally for a while, and when she moved to Ohio where I'm from and was living with my brother and my parents lived right across the orchard, I told her about this book. And she wasn't editing at the time, she was kind of done with it, but she asked mom if she could read it. So she read it and edited it, and then it became a much better book and really encouraged my mom to keep writing, which I had been telling her to do for years. But hearing somebody who wasn't family, somehow giving her that input that it was really something special, changed her perspective. So she kept writing and she and I started, I was on the road doing Shakespeare a lot. We started trading chapters. She'd send me a chapter a week and I would edit it and send it back. And so Wizard Stone evolved from there into its current form, and then she started the next book, Wizard Wind and Wizard Storm. And we went that way through five and a half books. And my dad finally, when he retired from being a physicist, said he was going to, I always told you I'd get your published Dee, I'm going to take it down to the print shop and get a hundred copies made. And by this time I was working with you and a bunch of other great indie authors who were letting thousands of happy readers read their books through an independent platform. And I said, well, wait a minute. I could do better than that. So I convinced them to hire an editor that I had worked with, and I did the rewrites and got it through the pre-production process and hired a cover artist, very talented artist. And you and Meara Platt, another of my authors, gave me so much information and help. And we got it published in 2022, I believe. We had three ready to go. And we published those all within a month of each other. One a month for three months, and then four and five, and then six came. And I co-authored five, six, and seven because my mother was losing her sight and her hearing at that point. We got those done. We had six out and a lot of people reading them and loving them and reviewing them before my mom passed. And I think it's probably one of the most satisfying things I've done in my life, because not only do I love the books, and they're just a rip roaring, fantastic adventure-filled epic trip through this incredible world my mom invented. But when she was about to, one of the last things she said to me was, I told her how many people had read her books. I just went through the Kindle numbers and thousands of people in different countries and all over the world were reading and loving her books. And I told her that, and she said, that's all that matters. And she felt such a sense of pride in herself and accomplishment because they were being received for what they are, which is a brilliant creative flight of fancy, this magical world in the tradition of all the books she loved, always Tolkien. And so I promised her I'd finish it. So after she died, I published six and seven and I've got eight about 90% written now, and I'm hoping to bring that out by the end of the year, although I've been too darn busy with narration to really spend the time. I've got the big climactic Jonathan Moeller type battle at the end sketched in my head and on an outline, but I got to write that. And then we can get that out there and finish that too. Jonathan: Will you stop with eight or keep going after eight? Hollis: My feeling is that this series will culminate with book eight. It's been a long saga of Beneban, this young wizard who kind of gets flung off a mountain by his evil wizard master and has to master his fledgling wizardry powers and his magical sword to win his love Laraynia, a powerful sorceress, and save the kingdom. And that's book one. And there's ice dragons, and then they have kids, and then the later books have become much more about their kids. And the more I write, the more it's become about young women fighting with swords. Jonathan: Well, they say write what you know. Hollis: Defeating the bad guys. Plucky young women, overachieving, competing with men. And so I think that's all going to come to a head with book eight, and that will be the end of that series. But I do think I'm going to spin it off into possibly more on the younger characters. I don't know if it's going to be YA per se, I think it'll still be for adults, but more of a YA feel to it, the younger characters of the ice dragon riding school of battle and the wizarding school. I don't know if I want to make it schools necessarily, it might limit you too much. And that's kind of been done too. But I do think the ice dragons are going to figure largely in it. Oh, and I don't know, there's a plot point I probably shouldn't give away, but my mother's full name was Willa Dee Maltby. She writes under Dee Maltby and there is a character, a very magical character named Willa that shows up in this book eight. So I think Willa will be a big character going forward and the younger generation of women and some boys too. I like boys, I do. Jonathan: Well, I suppose if people want to know more, they will have to read and find out. Hollis: Yes. And please go to the website is deemaltbyauthor.com and everything you want to know (well, maybe not everything), but everything you can know for now is there. Jonathan: Well, I was going to ask you what you would say was the most rewarding things about publishing the books, but I think you covered that pretty well. On the flip side, what was the biggest unexpected challenge in publishing them? Hollis: The PR is hard. You seem to be great at it. I even did PR professionally to work my way through undergrad and then in between grad school and undergrad and after I graduated and I had an assistantship in it at my university. But the book world specifically is a whole different kind of PR and learning Amazon ads and Facebook ads and it's a lot. It's a lot. And again, you have been so helpful with it. And I mean, there are a lot of online resources out there too, which is great. But what I'm really finding, trying to do it part-time is overwhelming. You really need a full-time block of time to not only write the books, but then to publicize them the way they deserve to be publicized. Jonathan: Yeah, the tricky part is, as you said, book advertising is very different from anything else. I was talking with a guy who is an Amazon reseller for various toiletries and hygiene products and makes a good living doing that. I was telling him how much I pay per click on Amazon ads. He's just appalled. It's like, you can't make any money doing that. And then the flip side of that too is that Internet marketing is so different than any other form of PR, so it's just sort of constant challenge there. Hollis: I know, and I know I actually signed up for a TikTok account and I just don't, again at the time. Plus every time I turn it on, I'm like, I don't want to watch that. I'm allergic to the format. You'd think being an actor, being used to being on camera, I could come up easily with little things to do for the books and I probably could for TikTok. But again, just learning the platform and then applying yourself to it is just such a big time hack that I don't have that amount of time. I know that narrators are now more and more marketing themselves by recording themselves on camera narrating and putting that out there, which I can do, I guess. And that's why I got this ring light and everything. I can do that now. I haven't done anything with it, but I guess if some of the book work dries up, I'll be more motivated to do it. Jonathan: Well, that's how anything works. You try it and if you enjoy it and it works, keep doing it. And if you don't enjoy it and it doesn't work, no point in carrying on with it. Hollis: I think that's true. And you just have to keep learning too, as we know with everything. You got to keep learning new things. Jonathan: Well, this has been a very enjoyable interview and thank you for coming on the show. Hollis: My pleasure. Jonathan: Let's close out with one last question. You've obviously done a lot of theater, so what, out of all the productions you've done was the one you would say was your favorite or that you enjoyed the most? Hollis: I think I have to go back to Beatrice probably. I mean, the Alabama Shakes getting to play a man thing, that was a lot of fun. But Beatrice, we did a Wild West Much Ado about Nothing at Colorado Shakespeare. The premise was that I was the niece of Leonardo, who is the tavern keeper, the bar keeper in this Wild West world. And there was a bar fight opening this Wild West production, and I entered through a swinging tavern door with a six shooter in one hand and a bull whip in the other. And I shot the pistol and cracked the bull whip and broke up the fight and then got to do Shakespeare's incredible Beatrice and Benedict story from there. It was so much fun. Jonathan: It almost seems like the soundtrack could have been “I Shot the Sheriff.” Hollis: Yeah. Yeah, it really could. It was a heck of a lot of fun. Jonathan: Well, speaking of fun, it was good talking with you, and thank you for taking the time to be on the show. Hollis: Yeah, I am excited to start the next Cloak book soon. So I was going to offer to do a little snatch of you want the introduction for Cloak here? Jonathan: Oh, I think we'll save it for the Real Thing. Hollis: Oh, okay. All right. Well thank you, Jonathan. It's been a pleasure. Jonathan: It's been a pleasure. And see you soon for Cloak Mage #10. Hollis: Alright. So that was our interview with Hollis McCarthy.

Hey there! It's Michael here - and welcome back to another Happy English Sunday Speak. I'm here every Sunday with a quick one-point tip to help you speak English more naturally.Now, in American English, there's a special sound we make with the letter T. It's called the flap T, and it sounds kind of like a soft D sound. You'll hear it in words like better, water, and pretty. So instead of saying “BET-ter,” “WAH-ter,” and “PRIT-ty,” Americans usually say “BEH-der,” “WAH-der,”  and “PRI-dee.” This sound happens when the T comes between two vowel sounds — like the a and e in water, or the i and y in city. Let me give you some sentences to practice this:  “I feel better today.” → “I feel beh-der today.” “We had a pretty nice day in the city.” → We had a pri-dee nice day in the sih-dy.” “Can I get a glass of water?” → “Can I gedda glass of wah-der?”This flap T sound makes your English smoother and more natural — just like how most Americans really speak. Thanks for listening. And remember to like, follow, and subscribe so you won't miss the next Happy English Podcast and next week's Sunday Speak.

En la primera parte del programa discutiremos sobre la actualidad. Comenzaremos con una noticia importante de Oriente Medio. El lunes, un grupo de líderes mundiales firmaron la primera fase del acuerdo de alto el fuego en Gaza durante una cumbre en Egipto, después de que los rehenes israelíes y los prisioneros palestinos fueran liberados. Hay sin duda motivo para celebrar, pero los expertos advierten que quedan importantes problemas por resolver. Continuaremos con el anuncio del Premio Nobel de la Paz. Este año, la ganadora es María Machado, una destacada líder de la oposición venezolana a los Gobiernos de Hugo Chávez y Nicolás Maduro. Aunque aceptó el premio, Machado dedicó el honor en parte al presidente Donald Trump. Discutiremos si esta dedicatoria fue apropiada. En el segmento de ciencia, hablaremos del Índice Mundial de Innovación que acaba de publicar la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual. Uno de los principales titulares del informe es que China ha sustituído a Alemania en la lista de los diez países más innovadores. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa comentando el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Este año, el premio le ha sido concedido al escritor húngaro László Krasznahorkai. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Expressions with Por and Para. En esta conversación hablaremos de las costumbres de los españoles. Aunque cada zona tenga sus costumbres propias, hay rasgos comunes entre todos nosotros,y a ojos de otros europeos pueden parecer curiosas o incluso raras. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, ¡Y un jamón! La usaremos para hablar de protestas ciudadanas ocurridas dentro de los últimos cien años. Veremos las causas que las han provocado, las consecuencias que estas han tenido y cómo han repercutido en la Historia de España. Entre celebraciones del alto el fuego en Oriente Medio, los expertos advierten que quedan importantes problemas por resolver Le conceden a la líder opositora venezolana María Corina Machado el Premio Nobel de la Paz 2025 China ha sustituido a Alemania en la lista de los 10 países más innovadores del mundo Le conceden el Premio Nobel de Literatura al escritor húngaro László Krasznahorkai Costumbres de los españoles Protestas ciudadanas

Wie immer ist der erste Teil des Programms aktuellen Ereignissen gewidmet. Wir beginnen mit einer wichtigen Entwicklung im Nahen Osten. Am Montag unterzeichneten internationale Spitzenpolitiker während eines Gipfeltreffens in Ägypten die erste Phase des Waffenstillstandsabkommens für den Gazastreifen, nachdem israelische Geiseln und palästinensische Gefangene freigelassen worden waren. Es gibt definitiv Grund zum Feiern, aber Experten warnen auch vor bevorstehenden Problemen. Anschließend sprechen wir über die Bekanntgabe des Friedensnobelpreises. Die diesjährige Preisträgerin ist María Corina Machado, eine prominente Führerin der venezolanischen Opposition gegen die Regierungen von Hugo Chávez und Nicolás Maduro. Bei der Entgegennahme der Auszeichnung widmete Machado den Preis zum Teil US-Präsident Donald Trump. Wir werden darüber diskutieren, ob diese Widmung angemessen war. In unserem Segment zu Wissenschaft und Technologie sprechen wir über den Global Innovation Index, der gerade von der Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum veröffentlicht wurde. Eine der wichtigsten Schlagzeilen des Berichts ist, dass China Deutschland in der Top-Ten-Liste der Innovationsführer abgelöst hat. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einer Diskussion über den Literaturnobelpreis. In diesem Jahr ging der Preis an den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf 2-Way Prepositions. Wir sprechen über Expats, Menschen, die ihr Land verlassen haben, um in Deutschland zu leben. Einige von ihnen haben Deutsch gelernt. Anderen fällt dies schwer, da sie – insbesondere in großen Städten – wenig Gelegenheit haben, ihr Deutsch zu üben, da Gespräche oft auf Englisch stattfinden. Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist Einen Stein im Brett haben. Wolf Biermann ist eine der Persönlichkeiten, die bei uns einen Stein im Brett haben. Er kämpfte für eine bessere, freiere und menschlichere DDR und sagte sich später ganz vom Kommunismus los. Waffenstillstand im Nahen Osten – Experten warnen jedoch vor Herausforderungen Friedensnobelpreis 2025 für die venezolanische Oppositionsführerin María Corina Machado China löst Deutschland in den Top Ten des Global Innovation Index ab Literaturnobelpreis für den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai Expats in Deutschland Wolf Bierma

Bei der Entgegennahme der Auszeichnung widmete Machado den Preis zum Teil US-Präsident Donald Trump. Wir werden darüber diskutieren, ob diese Widmung angemessen war. In unserem Segment zu Wissenschaft und Technologie sprechen wir über den Global Innovation Index, der gerade von der Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum veröffentlicht wurde. Eine der wichtigsten Schlagzeilen des Berichts ist, dass China Deutschland in der Top-Ten-Liste der Innovationsführer abgelöst hat. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einer Diskussion über den Literaturnobelpreis. In diesem Jahr ging der Preis an den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf 2-Way Prepositions. Wir sprechen über Expats, Menschen, die ihr Land verlassen haben, um in Deutschland zu leben. Einige von ihnen haben Deutsch gelernt. Anderen fällt dies schwer, da sie – insbesondere in großen Städten – wenig Gelegenheit haben, ihr Deutsch zu üben, da Gespräche oft auf Englisch stattfinden. Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist Einen Stein im Brett haben. Wolf Biermann ist eine der Persönlichkeiten, die bei uns einen Stein im Brett haben. Er kämpfte für eine bessere, freiere und menschlichere DDR und sagte sich später ganz vom Kommunismus los. Waffenstillstand im Nahen Osten – Experten warnen jedoch vor Herausforderungen Friedensnobelpreis 2025 für die venezolanische Oppositionsführerin María Corina Machado China löst Deutschland in den Top Ten des Global Innovation Index ab Literaturnobelpreis für den ungarischen Schriftsteller László Krasznahorkai Expats in Deutschland Wolf Bierma

Como siempre, la primera parte del programa la dedicaremos a discutir la actualidad. Comenzaremos con un tema preocupante. Dos años después del ataque de Hamas del 7 de octubre, se está produciendo un aumento del antisemitismo en Europa. Los líderes judíos advierten que el antisemitismo se utiliza cada vez más como arma arrojadiza. Continuaremos en Francia, donde el colapso del Gobierno ha abocado al presidente Emmanuel Macron y a su país a una grave crisis. ¿Qué va a hacer Francia tras la sorprendente dimisión del primer ministro Sébastien Lecornu? En el segmento de ciencia, hablaremos del gran legado de Jane Goodall en la investigación y en la conservación de la naturaleza. Y, para acabar, hay otra persona a la que queremos recordar: Claudia Cardinale, la “chica de ensueño” de Italia, que murió a los 87 años de edad. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Uses of Para - Part II. En esta conversación hablaremos de inventos e inventores. Cada invento representa un avance significativo para la humanidad y algunos inventos españoles han pasado a la historia. Hablaremos de la fregona y del sacapuntas de manivela, pero también de otros más sofisticados como el funicular. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Dios los crea y ellos se juntan. La usaremos para hablar de una de las Novelas ejemplares de Miguel de Cervantes, Rinconete y Cortadillo. Dos maleantes que un día se encuentran y se hacen miembros de una banda de ladrones. Pero, ¿de dónde sacó Cervantes la inspiración para escribir este relato? ¿Podría haber sido la cárcel? Dos años después del ataque de Hamas del 7 de octubre, el antisemitismo está aumentando en Europa Empeora la inestabilidad política de Francia tras la caída del último Gobierno Jane Goodall deja un gran legado de investigación y conservación de la naturaleza Claudia Cardinale, la “chica de ensueño” de Italia, ha muerto a los 87 años de edad Inventos españoles que han traspasado fronteras Rinconete y Cortadillo

Wie immer diskutieren wir im ersten Teil unseres Programms über aktuelle Ereignisse der Woche. Wir beginnen mit einem alarmierenden Trend: Zwei Jahre nach dem Angriff der Hamas am 7. Oktober 2023 erlebt Europa einen Anstieg des Antisemitismus. Führende Vertreter der jüdischen Gemeinschaft warnen davor, dass Antisemitismus zunehmend instrumentalisiert wird. Anschließend sprechen wir über Frankreich, wo der Zusammenbruch der Regierung Präsident Emmanuel Macron und das Land in eine zunehmend eskalierende politische Krise stürzt. Wie geht es weiter für Frankreich nach dem überraschenden Rücktritt von Premierminister Sébastien Lecornu? In unserem Wissenschaftssegment sprechen wir heute über das einzigartige Vermächtnis von Jane Goodall für die Forschung und über ihren Einsatz für den Naturschutz. Und zum Schluss erinnern wir an Claudia Cardinale, eine der berühmtesten Schauspielerinnen Italiens. Sie ist im Alter von 87 Jahren gestorben. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Relative Clauses. Ein Probedruck des Nürnberger Künstlers Albrecht Dürer ist nach 143 Jahren Leihgabe wieder zurückgekehrt. Wir sprechen darüber, um welches Werk es sich handelt, wo es so lange war und warum es wichtig ist zu wissen, wem ein Kunstwerk rechtmäßig gehört. Die Redewendung dieser Woche ist Aus dem Häuschen sein. Darauf passt der phänomenale Sieg der deutschen Nationalmannschaft der Männer im Basketball. Sie gewann vor ein paar Wochen das EM-Finale gegen die Türkei in Riga. Ein sensationeller Erfolg für Deutschland! Zunehmender Antisemitismus in Europa zwei Jahre nach dem Anschlag der Hamas Verschärfung der politischen Instabilität Frankreichs nach dem erneuten Zusammenbruch der Regierung Jane Goodalls einzigartiges Vermächtnis für die Forschung und den Naturschutz Die italienische Film-Ikone Claudia Cardinale ist gestorben Kunstwerk kehrt nach 143 Jahren zurück Deutschland ist Europameister im Basketball

Comenzaremos nuestra discusión de la actualidad comentando la necesidad de que Europa se replantee la defensa de sus fronteras orientales contra los ataques rusos. Las incursiones de drones rusos en el espacio aéreo europeo se consideran la amenaza más inmediata contra la OTAN. Continuaremos con Suiza, donde los votantes aprobaron por un estrecho margen la propuesta para instaurar carnés de identidad electrónicos en un referéndum celebrado el domingo. La sección de ciencia del programa la dedicaremos a un estudio publicado la semana pasada en la revista Science, que cambia de manera profunda nuestro entendimiento de la evolución humana. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa con un polémico mural pintado por Banksy en una pared del Tribunal Superior de Londres, y posteriormente borrado por las autoridades. El resto del episodio de hoy lo dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Uses of Para - Part I. En esta conversación hablaremos de la historia del fútbol femenino en España, desde sus inicios hasta el momento excepcional que está viviendo en estos momentos. Tenemos una primera división totalmente profesionalizada y grandes trofeos. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, A troche y moche. La usaremos para hablar del problema de la vivienda en España, sus causas y una posible solución. Con ello, reflexionaremos sobre nuestra sociedad actual. ¿No es una paradoja la gran cantidad de pisos que se necesitan actualmente y la cantidad de pisos vacíos que existen? Europa se replantea la defensa de sus fronteras orientales contra los ataques rusos Suiza aprueba por un estrecho margen un sistema electrónico nacional de identidad Un nuevo estudio sugiere una historia más compleja de la evolución humana Un mural de Banksy, borrado de una pared del edificio del Tribunal Superior de Londres Fútbol femenino en España La paradoja de la vivienda en España

Wir beginnen das heutige Programm mit einer Diskussion über die Notwendigkeit Europas, die Verteidigung an den östlichen Grenzen angesichts der russischen Aggressionen zu überdenken. Die neuen russischen Drohnenangriffe auf den europäischen Luftraum werden als eine reale und unmittelbare Bedrohung für die NATO angesehen. Danach sprechen wir über die Schweiz, wo die Wähler in einer Volksabstimmung am Sonntag mit knapper Mehrheit für die Einführung elektronischer Personalausweise gestimmt haben. Unser Wissenschaftsthema ist einer Studie gewidmet, die letzte Woche in der Fachzeitschrift Science veröffentlicht wurde und unser Verständnis der menschlichen Evolution neu definiert. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einem umstrittenen Wandbild von Banksy, das an der Wand des Londoner High Court erschienen war und später von den Behörden entfernt wurde. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und der deutschen Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Subordinating Conjunctions – Part 2. Es geht um den Tag der Deutschen Einheit, der seit der deutschen Wiedervereinigung am 3. Oktober 1990 jedes Jahr als nationaler Feiertag gefeiert wird. Obwohl der Mauerfall schon knapp ein Jahr früher stattfand, dauerte es, bis das Gebiet der DDR und damit die neuen Bundesländer an die Bundesrepublik angeschlossen wurden. Für viele ist Romy Schneider die schönste deutsche Frau und eine der besten deutschen Schauspielerinnen aller Zeiten. Ihre Beziehung zu Alain Delon ließ bei der deutschen Öffentlichkeit und der Klatschpresse die Herzen höherschlagen. Unsere Redewendung der Woche ist Einen Korb geben. Sie passt perfekt auf die Geschichte dieser deutschen Ikone. Europa überdenkt die Verteidigung seiner östlichen Grenzen gegen russische Bedrohungen Knappes Ja für nationalen elektronischen Personalausweis in der Schweiz Neue Studie: Ist die menschliche Evolutionsgeschichte komplexer als bisher angenommen? Banksy-Bild von Fassade des Londoner High Court entfernt Tag der Deutschen Einheit Das Leben der Romy Schneider

Wir beginnen den ersten Teil unseres Programms mit einem Rückblick auf die Rede von US-Präsident Donald Trump vor der UN-Generalversammlung. Der Präsident schockierte viele mit seinen Angriffen auf die UNO, seinen Bemerkungen zur Migrationssituation in der EU und seiner Zurückweisung des Klimawandels als „Schwindel“ und „Betrug“. Anschließend sprechen wir über den ehemaligen philippinischen Präsidenten Rodrigo Duterte, der wegen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit angeklagt wurde. Unser Wissenschaftsthema widmet sich heute einem Artikel, der über einen Zusammenhang zwischen reduziertem Koffeinkonsum und lebhafteren Träumen berichtet. Und zum Schluss sprechen wir über die Verleihung der Ig-Nobelpreise 2025, mit denen skurrile, aber innovative Forschungsarbeiten ausgezeichnet werden. Der Rest des Programms ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Die heutige Grammatiklektion konzentriert sich auf Subordinating Conjunctions – Part 1, und es wird um den sogenannten Plattenbau gehen. Ursprünglich kommt dieser Gebäudetyp aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion. Er wurde später massenhaft in der DDR gebaut und scheint heutzutage ein trostloses Beton-Relikt aus vergangenen Zeiten zu sein. Doch es gibt durchaus auch positive Assoziationen mit der „Platte“. Wenn wir darüber reden, was einem so richtig auf die Nerven geht, um auf unsere heutige Redewendung zu sprechen zu kommen, so fällt einem sofort Werbung ein. Das sind diese lästigen Spots, denen man anscheinend nicht entkommen kann und die sich doch tief in unser Unterbewusstsein einprägen. Wir werfen einen Blick auf die deutsche Werbung vergangener Jahre. Trumps Rede vor der UN-Generalversammlung – Beschwerden und Angriffe Anklage gegen Rodrigo Duterte wegen Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit Kann weniger Koffein Träume lebhafter und bunter machen?
