Mrs. TNTBS HOSTS New York Times Bestselling author, The King of Christmas Richard Paul Evans. This holiday season, the “King of Christmas” (The New York Times) and #1 New York Times bestselling author Richard Paul Evans returns with A CHRISTMAS MEMORY (Gallery Books; on-sale November 22, 2022), a poignant, deeply felt novel about loss, grief, the healing power of forgiveness, and the true meaning of the holiday season. In A CHRISTMAS MEMORY, Richard Paul Evans delves deep into his childhood memories to take readers back to an age when his world felt like it was falling apart, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, the light of hope can still shine. It's 1967, and for young Richard it's a time of heartbreak and turmoil. Over the span of a few months, his brother, Mark, is killed in Vietnam; his father loses his job and moves the family from California to his grandmother's abandoned home in Utah; and his parents make the painful decision to separate. With uncertainty rattling every corner of his life, Richard does his best to remain strong—but when he's run down by bullies at his new school, he meets Mr. Foster, an elderly neighbor who chases off the bullies and invites Richard in for a cup of cocoa. Richard becomes fast friends with the wise, solitary man who inspires Richard's love for books and whose dog, Gollum, becomes his closest companion. As the holidays approach, the joy and light of Christmas seem unlikely to permeate the Evans home as things take a grim turn for the worse. And just when it seems like he has nothing left to lose, Richard is confronted by a startling revelation. But with Mr. Foster's wisdom and kindness, he learns for the first time what truly matters about the spirit of the season: that forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds, and love endures long after the pain of loss subsides. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tntbsmedia/message

If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit, you will enjoy Orb & Arrow. Where Magic is Real... and Dangerous Orb & Arrow: Exploration takes readers on an adventure through Darae where magic is real and dangerous. Twenty-two-year-old Brillar was expected to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a healer, but headstrong and impetuous, she has other plans. Now a highly skilled archer, she's forced to kill to free a Mage being held captive in enchanted chains. It was a defensive act, but that is no excuse for a healer. Releasing a Master War Mage from bondage, however, could get Brillar killed . . . or apprenticed. When Master Elden insists on the latter, Brillar embarks on a journey not of her making. When it ends badly, she insists on taking a different path where her healing and newly acquired magic skills lead to newer and greater challenges. ABOUT THE AUTHOR - As a journalist, poet and essayist, V.L. has been a writer all her life. She's also a huge fan of science fiction and fantasy, cutting her teeth on Robert Heinlein as a kid and then discovering the delightful worlds of Anne McCaffrey as an adult. She also got involved in a 16-year-long MMOPRG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) and Brillar was one of the characters she created for that. When the game ended, she missed it, not just the role-playing but the live interaction with people worldwide. As a result, she sat down at her computer and 24 days and 91,000 words later, the Orb & Arrow series was born. In addition to the Orb & Arrow series, Stuart pens a gardening column for amcostarica.com and Pen It! will shortly release on a nonfiction book based on that column. Originally from New Jersey, Stuart now lives in Costa Rick in the shadow of two volcanoes with her scientist husband and a wacky little dog. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tntbsmedia/message

Mrs. TNTBS hosts author M.P. Woodward in his first book in a new series. In THE HANDLER, Meredith Morris-Dale is a CIA case officer and a damn good one...even if this last mission did go terribly wrong. Now she has been summoned back to Langley where she expects to be fired. Instead, she is met by the Deputy Director with stunning news. A single well-placed CIA mole in Iran's uranium enrichment program has kept the terrorist nation from building a bomb by sabotaging the performance of their covert centrifuge arrays.

His one demand: a reunion with the only handler he ever trusted, John Dale—Meredith's disgraced, fired, wayward ex-husband.

In this episode of This Needs To Be Read, Mrs. TNTBS hosts author Glenn Boozan in her latest book, Moms Way Worse Than You Every charming rhyme offers a hysterical reality check, as Boozan reminds parents reading along that there are far worse things than fast food for dinner or too much screen time: · You won't be worse than hamster moms, no matter how you try. Sometimes they eat their newborn pups. We still don't yet know why. · Whenever you feel guilty that you haven't cleaned the house: Sexton beetles raise their kids in a decomposing mouse. With wit and compassion, Boozan encourages moms to accept that there is no such thing as a perfect parent and to be proud of the everyday effort parenting takes, while reminding readers that it's the hardest and most rewarding job in the world. And hey, if you're not feeding your child poop (see koala mom), you are doing a pretty darn amazing job.

Mrs. TNTBS hosts Author Carleton Eastlake in this episode of This Needs To Be Read. Darkly comic in nature but also deeply philosophical (particularly when it comes to the ridiculous sociology behind human behavior), MONKEY BUSINESS is an astute dissection of the human condition and the bizarre patterns of our everyday lives, both professional and personal. As a longtime screenwriter-producer, former public policy attorney, and past president of PEN Center USA, there is perhaps nobody alive who is as uniquely qualified as Carleton Eastlake to write a novel like this, i.e., one that is one part television industry insider satire, one-part anthropological thesis, and one part literary - if quirky - romance. ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Carleton Eastlake graduated from UCLA in political science and psychology and from Harvard Law School with a concentration in law and the social sciences. After a career in public policy and consumer protection law, being hired on Steven Spielberg's series seaQuest confirmed him as a television writer-producer as well. He has shared in Edgar and Saturn awards and is a former board member of the Writers Guild of America West and a past President of PEN Center USA. His wife Loraine Despres is a best-selling novelist, television writer, and tree-farmer. They live in Los Angeles, California. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tntbsmedia/message

Women's fiction mainstay and romance veteran, RaeAnne Thayne, returns with a heartfelt story of loss, love, and the unbreakable bond of family in SUMMER AT THE CAPE. (HQN| Hardcover | On sale: April 12, 2022 |978-1335936356). In her newest hardcover original, the New York Times, USA TODAY, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author examines grief and sisterhood through the eyes of Cami and Violet, who come together to mourn the death of Violet's twin, Lily. Can a new love heal a grieving heart? Cami Porter has always known what she wanted. After her parents' divorce, she chose to stay with her high-powered attorney father while her two younger sisters Violet and Lily remained with their outspoken, activist mother Rosemary in Cape Sanctuary living a more free-spirited life. After barely recovering from the end of her engagement, Cami receives a frantic call from her mother with the terrible news that Lily drowned when she intervened to save a child's life, the daughter of Violet's old flame. Rosemary needs Cami's legal expertise to help solve the legal mess Lily left behind when she secured a property to create a “glampground” on an aging neighbor's unused land but failed to obtain a lease in writing. Now the neighbor's estranged son Jon refuses to allow the project, and both Cami and Violet fear Lily's final dream will never happen. Cami not only has to adjust to living in a community she never felt part of but also try to convince Jon not to stand in the way of the retreat, while Violet ponders on who she is without her twin and why the man she loved years ago is back in her life.

Indispensables with Patrick O'Donnell PATRICK O'DONNELL, bestselling, critically acclaimed military historian, writes in his book - THE INDISPENSABLES - about an American war that was much like the Battle of Dunkirk – made famous by the blockbuster movie “Dunkirk.” Dunkirk took place on the shores of France. Turns out - America had its own similar battle on US shores. And what's especially interesting about this battle and time in our history is that it mirrors much of what is happening to us today! It was the 1770's and a raging virus, mobs, political violence, disarmament, and misinformation - all divided Americans. The early precursor to the Secret Service was formed. White, Black, Hispanic, and Native American formed a uniquely diverse group of soldiers that set an inclusive standard of unity the U.S. Army would not reach again for more than 170 years. People say we are living in unprecedented times. We're not. O'Donnell provided historical consulting for DreamWorks' award-winning miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS. People say we are living in unprecedented times. We're not. Beneath a Revolution often buried in the amber of old oil paintings and stone statues - lies an unvarnished founding story. Americans fought a virus, each other, and the greatest military power on Earth. Patrick K. O'Donnell, the acclaimed military historian and bestselling author of “Washington's Immortals and The Unknowns,” has unearthed the chronicle of a diverse group of Americans whose unity changed the course of history and saved the Continental Army multiple times from certain destruction. He brings to life their complete untold story for the first time in THE INDISPENSABLES: The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware (Atlantic Monthly Press; May 18, 2021) which captures the heroic actions of this remarkable group of men and women. In the annals of the American Revolution, no group played a more consequential role than the soldier-mariners of Marblehead, Massachusetts. At the right time in the right place, they repeatedly altered the course of events, and their story shines new light on our understanding of the Revolution. About the author: PATRICK O'DONNELL is a bestselling, critically acclaimed military historian and an expert on elite units. The author of 12 books, including The Unknowns and Washington's Immortals, he is the recipient of numerous national awards. O'Donnell served as a combat historian in a Marine rifle platoon during the Battle of Fallujah and is a professional speaker on America's conflicts, espionage, special operations, and counterinsurgency. He has provided historical consulting for DreamWorks' award-winning miniseries Band of Brothers and for documentaries produced by the BBC, the History Channel, and Discovery.

If you're in a dull meeting, take a peek outside and enjoy the soap opera of pigeon life. Pigeons are gentle and safe to watch, so long as you look out for their poop. They won't attack you, screech at you, or spray you with a noxious scent. (If they do, you have misidentified your pigeons.) They do strange and wonderful things. They blink with three eyelids, kiss with vigor, feed milk to their babies, and applaud themselves after mating. Their lives are both alarmingly alien and charmingly familiar. If you're searching for dating tips, look no further than a species that mates for life (usually) and dances to impress. Pigeons are food for many birds of prey. If you can find pigeons, you can find majestic hawks, falcons, owls, and all sorts of other shy aerial predators. The more you watch these birds, the more you'll appreciate the full breadth of nature that's quietly making a living all around you. Thanks to some fascinating genetics, pigeons come in a variety of colors, patterns, and plumages. You'll find birds with funny feathery socks, odd-colored eyes, and dazzling hues from red to blue to white. Try to spot them all! As our domesticated companions for millennia, pigeons have a lot to teach us about human history and culture. If given the power to speak, any pigeon could teach a master class on colonialism, inequality, architecture, agriculture, and changing food preferences. Rescued pigeons make great pets—and if you're concerned about poop, you can dress your pigeon in a custom-made rhinestone-studded diaper. Seriously. It's a hard world. Sometimes you just need to look at a soft bird. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tntbsmedia/message
