On this special livestream there is not one, but TWO awesome guests and for good reason. Lord Alexander Hawke is back in action. That's cause for a celebration.Ryan Steck, also known as The Real Book Spy, is an author and thriller junkie behind the pen on the latest Hawke thriller. Having been a massive Hawke fan himself, Steck was also a good personal friend to the late Ted Bell, and there was nobody better to pick up the mantle and continue the legacy after Bell's passing. Considered one of the hardest-working people in publishing, Steck built the most trusted source in literary fiction in The Real Book Spy from the ground up, turning it from a simple blog to a million+ viewed website per year, and the go-to source for all the breaking news in fiction publishing.Byrdie Bell is the daughter of the late legend Ted Bell and an avid Hawk advocate, amongst juggling life as a mother, actress, and model. Bell appeared in Rolling Stones' Shine a Light by Martin Scorsese, as well as the Israeli version of Big Brother. At age 18 Byrdie began modeling, appearing in numerous publications including Bloomingdale's and Club Monaco. Byrdie is the descendent of Colonel William Byrd II, the founder of Richmond, Virginia.The late Ted Bell was Vice-Chairman of the Board and World-Wide Creative Director for Young & Rubicam, one of the world's largest advertising agencies. Before becoming a novelist Bell was President and Chief Creative Officer of Leo Brunett Company. Bell also served as a member on the DOCA Committee for the US Department of Defense, and as an advisor to the Undersecretary for Public Diplomacy at the US Department of State.Bell wrote 12 novels in the Lord Alexander Hawke series before his unfortunate death in 2023. MONARCH, penned by Ryan Steck his long-time editor and friend, is entry number 13 in the Hawke series and a remarkable, gripping, and adventurous tale to get readers back into the legendary series that the late Bell started.Find More at: TheRealBookSpy.com and TedBell.com

What do you get when mesh elements of Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, and National Treasure? How about a YA Fantasy adventure that combines travel (especially in eastern countries and other worlds) with superpowers! Put out through Tyndale's Wander imprint, the Beacon Hill Series by D. J. Williams sounds crazy exciting, and I am rooting for a streaming series (but there are other possible options, too!) Listen in to learn more! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. You Can Never Have Enough Exciting YA Fantasy, Right? The Beacon Hill series (or at least the school/friend group) was inspired by D. J. Williams' own youth living in Hong Kong. Add to that extensive travel throughout the world (don't miss his elephant story while on location in Zambia!) and you've got a background that can offer a thrilling ride! I can't wait to read these books and they're on their way to my house as I type, so eeep! One thing I noticed when I read the synopsis of Secrets of the Highlands (book two--available and book 3 comes out later this year) is that it reads a bit like a tabletop role-playing game come to life! The whole quest and trying to find a healer thing really caught my eye (having attempted to play said games and failing miserably! LOL). But D. J. Williams has written more than just the Beacon Hill series. He also has his adult thrillers and a new series he just started working on, so I think we're in for a long, literary ride with this guy. I can't wait to get started. Hunt for Eden's Star by D. J. Williams Discover the story of an intrepid, globe-trotting teen and a motley group of friends in a world where choices have epic consequences. In this new coming-of-age YA fantasy novel full of action-packed adventure, Williams tells the tale of a teen who is thrown into a world of ancient secrets when he discovers a supernatural artifact that protects a weapon of mass destruction. With the help of a diverse group of friends, he embarks on a global adventure, seeking the truth about his sister's death. He uncovers two clandestine, supernatural societies waging an epic, hidden war that threatens the future of civilization. As Jack races to collect ancient artifacts critical to the survival of the world, readers are transported to incredible international locales across Asia, including the lush jungles of the Philippines and the high-energy streets of Hong Kong. Themes of addiction, revenge, faith, and friendship emerge as Jack battles literal and psychological demons, and even his own friends and family members, on his quest to thwart the forces of evil. In this novel, you will find: Relatable characters Clean and compelling YA fantasy The first in a series—more exciting material to come! D. J. Williams's suspenseful, page-turning style whisks readers into a wildly exciting, supernatural adventure that grabs hold of the imagination and never lets go. “Fast-paced action and a rich setting boost the beginning of a promising paranormal saga.” - Kirkus Reviews on Hunt for Eden's Star “A blistering, high-stakes, fast-paced supernatural thriller that's impossible to put down.” - Ryan Steck, author of Fields of Fire Learn more about D. J. Williams from his WEBSITE and follow him on BookBub and GoodReads. Like to listen on the go? You can find Because Fiction Podcast at: Apple Castbox Google Play Libsyn RSS Spotify Amazon and more!

Bio Joel C. Rosenberg is a NYT bestselling author with 5 million copies in print. Founder and editor-in-chief of ALL ISRAEL NEWS and ALL ARAB NEWS, Joel hosts THE ROSENBERG REPORT on TBN. About the Book From New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Joel C. Rosenberg comes the fifth military and international political thriller in the Marcus Ryker series. The world's most wanted terrorist is dead. Marcus Ryker recommended the drone strike himself. The intelligence was rock-solid. But what if it was wrong? Abu Nakba—the man responsible for lethal attacks in Washington, D.C., London, and Jerusalem—is finally dead. Marcus Ryker has been tasked with hunting down and destroying what's left of the terror group Kairos. But before Ryker can mobilize his team of CIA operatives with their new assignment, a disturbing report from Libya suggests all may not be as it seems. The U.S. bombing that should have taken out Nakba's headquarters now appears to have been a disastrous mistake—and Ryker himself may be responsible. With Kairos gearing up for a major retaliatory strike against the U.S., time is short, and terror cells may already be inside American borders. But Ryker won't be able to stop this threat until he clears his own name, and his closest ally inside the White House can no longer help him. The Libyan diversion threatens to leave Ryker on the sidelines just when his country needs him most. Packed with action and intrigue, this thriller novel is everything Joel's fans have come to expect. * A high-stakes suspense novel for fans of Jack Carr, Ryan Steck, and Kyle Mills * Perfect for fans of geopolitical thrillers Buy my book available where ever books are sold, _Eternally Cancel Proof _in paperback, or Kindle on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Eternally-Cancel-Proof-Courageous-Battlefront/dp/B09VWWTQFS/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1647986511&sr=8-1) • Thank you for listening! • We are live Monday through Friday from 9p to midnight eastern on SiriusXM the Patriot channel 125!!! • Thanks and God Bless you!! • -- A Dose of Encouragement-- A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. —Proverbs 11:25 •Download previous episodes, and more!
