Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 616 with author Ridley Pearson. You've likely heard of Ridley Pearson as the Edgar-nominated author of over sixty novels including two New York Times #1 bestsellers. The Fulbright fellow who plays in a band with Stephen King, Dave Barry, Amy Tan and Scott Turow is also the author of KINGDOM KEEPERS INHERITANCE: VILLAINS' REALM, the second in a trilogy for middle grade readers which follows young heroes to Disney parks around the world. The first volume has sold over a million copies. With the help of Cinderella's very own Fairy Godmother-the notorious FGM as she's known in this world-they set out to stop Ursula-jumping from Epcot to Disneyland to Disneyland Paris, where the ultimate battle between good and evil plays out.

New York Times bestselling author Ridley Pearson is back with his latest installation of the Kingdom Keepers series.

The second book in this all-new KINGDOM KEEPERS INHERITANCE trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Ridley Pearson, follows our young heroes to parks around the world. They must race against the clock to stop the most villainous villain of all, Ursula, from taking over for good! In this latest book in the series that has sold over a million copies worldwide, Ridley Pearson expands the Kingdom Keepers world in ways no reader-or Disney Parks fan-could have imagined. Home from their adventures abroad in book one, Eli and his friends are safe and sound at Epcot with their families, or are they? When Eli learns that the CEO of the Walt Disney Company has mysteriously done a 180 and ordered Villains' Realms to be built in every park across the globe, he and his friends know something is amiss. It turns out that Ursula, the baddest of the big bads, has recruited an evil chemist to recreate Walt's magical ink, which would allow the Villains to travel between parks and end Disney magic as we know it. With the help of Cinderella's very own Fairy Godmother-the notorious FGM as she's known in this world-they set out to stop Ursula-jumping from Epcot to Disneyland to Disneyland Paris, where the ultimate battle between good and evil plays out. Will Eli and his friends prevail, or will the Villains finally have their way?

Their patience should earn them some kind of medal. PETER AND THE STAR CATCHER June 2nd - 11th The Village Players Theatre "A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's best-selling novels, Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old tale of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair...and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love."

We begin in Costa Rica. Author Amy Waeschle's protagonist Dr. Cassidy Kincaid is a volcano seismologist. I had to ask Amy what that is exactly. Turns out it's the perfect profession for an amateur sleuth as it takes her all over the world, where she encounters mysteries of all kinds. Dr. Cassidy is a surfer, visiting Costa Rica in the excerpt Amy reads. And, from the Small World department, Amy herself learned to surf where I live, on the on the west coast of Vancouver Island. She's even written a memoir about her surfing adventures. If you enjoy Amy's reading from Rescuing Reeve you can get the full book for free at her website. This week's mystery author Amy Waeschle is a bestselling mystery writer who fell in love with mysteries while reading late at night under her covers. Agatha Christie, Trixie Belden, and Ridley Pearson were her favorites growing up. She learned to surf just before her 30th birthday, and the challenging experience inspired her to write her first book, a memoir about surfing and traveling called Chasing Waves. After that, Amy was hooked on storytelling, and wanted to combine her love for adventure with fiction, and has been writing adrenaline-spiked mysteries and heartfelt dramas ever since. To learn more about Amy and all her books visit AmyWaeschle.com Press play (above) to listen to the show, or read the excerpt below. Remember you can also listen on Apple Podcasts,Stitcher, Android, Google Podcasts, TuneIn, and Spotify. Excerpt from Rescuing Reeve After a sunset surf session at another remote wave, Cassidy slipped to the bow of the Trinity with her stack of documents, hoping to pick up where she left off, but found fellow surfer Benita leaning back against the railing, playing Reeve’s ukulele and singing softly.  She must have seen the look on Cassidy’s face because she stopped mid-strum. “Is this yours? I found it on my bunk.” “Uh, no, I mean, yes, it’s mine.” Benita gave her a shrewd look.  “You can play it. I don’t mind, I was just surprised, is all.” “This is actually a really nice one. Do you play?” “No,” Cassidy said, settling in on her cushion. She realized that her answers were not making much sense.  “My son learned in school. He got really into it.” She looked up. “Do you have kids?” she asked.  Cassidy tried not to download all the reasons why she did not. “No,” she said. She remembered that she hadn’t answered Benita’s question the day before about her marital status.  Benita shrugged. “It’s the kind of thing that happens if you ever do. Your kid gets into something, and then suddenly you’re into it too.” “It’s my stepbrother’s,” Cassidy said.  Benita fingered a few more keys and strummed. “The one you’re looking for,” she said. It was a statement, not a question, and Cassidy remembered that Benita was a lawyer. A good one, too, she guessed.  Cassidy looked out at the blue horizon. The sun would be setting soon, and the soft glow on the water looked like a sheen of pearl luminescence. From inside the boat, she caught the occasional whiff of baking bread. “Yes,” she said.  Benita gave her a look. “Are you guys close?”  “Not really,” Cassidy replied, “but there isn’t really anyone else who can look for him.” She looked out again, this time at the distant charcoal-and-brown mountains shrouded in wispy clouds. “He was working for Bruce on one of these trips. He went ashore in San Juan and never came back.” Benita’s eyes narrowed, and Cassidy could tell her mind was working. “What did the police say?” “I talked to the police in Tamarindo and Santa Cruz, but they said there wasn’t much they could do because he disappeared in Nicaragua. I don’t know if anyone’s talked to the police in San Juan. My stepsister tried calling, but she doesn’t speak Spanish. She has been talking to someone at the U.S. Embassy, but I don’t think anyone’s taking her seriously.” “Do you have an idea of what happened?”

Ever wondered how Peter Pan came to be the boy who never grew up? Or how he and Captain Hook came to be arch nemeses?We might never know the real reason (at least according to author J.M. Barrie), but the authors Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson sure dreamed up a fabulous possibility in the book “Peter and the Starcatcher.” Billed as a "grown-up's prequel," it was adapted for the stage by Rick Elice and ultimately won five Tonys on Broadway in 2012.Now the musical is having its local premiere at Portland Playhouse, through May 29. We thought, who better to see it with than actor Rodney Hicks for the next stop in our “What Are You Looking At?” series. Hicks has starred in a number of Broadway productions, including the original production of Rent. He also happens to have seen the Off-Broadway and Broadway productions of “Peter and the Starcatcher.” Read the full story: http://www.opb.org/artsandlife/article/peter-starcatcher-portland-playhouse
