Authors Between the Covers: What It Takes to Write Your Heart Out
Our spotlight is on: Author, musician, and all-around funnyman Sam Barry. Our hot topic: Why it's important to write that book already! And how to keep your sense of humor—even when the proverbial poop is hitting the fan. Your host: Hope Katz Gibbs, publisher of Be Inkandescent magazine, and founder & president of The Inkandescent Group, LLC Click here to listen to the podcast. On the "I Got the Music In Me" radio show, we give voice to songbirds, and always ask: “What's your story?” That will be easy to answer in this episode, thanks to our guest is Sam Barry. He is the author of the humorously inspirational book, “Write That Book Already: The Tough Love You Need to Get Published Now,” which he co-wrote with his wife, author and literary provocateur Kathi Kamen Goldmark. Barry also wrote, “How to Play the Harmonica: and Other Life Lessons,” and currently is a contributing editor at Zyzzyva, the West Coast's premier literary magazine. For the last 12 years, he was a marketing manager for HarperOne, a division of HarperCollins. If that's not enough, Barry is equally creative on stage, and plays in and around San Francisco in the band Los Train Wreck. He also tours with the all-author rock band, The Rock Bottom Remainders, with whom he appeared on Good Morning America, and The Craig Ferguson Show. He has also been a regular performer on the national radio show West Coast Live. A gifted music teacher, Barry has helped thousands of people discover the joy of making music on the harmonica and piano (not at the same time). In a previous life he was the co-founder of a nonprofit art gallery and performance space in San Francisco's Mission District, and a Presbyterian minister in Omaha and Boston. In this episode of The Inkandescent Radio Show: We talk to Barry about his beloved wife Kathi Kamen Goldmark, who died on May 24, 2012. She was a friend to many, including us at Be Inkandescent, and we were deeply saddened to hear of her passing. Barry was by her side at every step as she battled cancer, and just weeks later after her death, he posted a beautiful tribute to her on his website. We also take a deeper dive in the art of writing books, based on his latest book, “Write That Book Already!” In our 25 Publishing Rules of Thumb From Bestselling Authors, Barry's advice to other authors was to “Promote, promote, promote.” Does that advice still hold? Barry recalls his fondest memory as a member of The Rock Bottom Remainders. Was it the shows he played with Roger McGuinn, founder of The Byrds? He was once a Presbyterian minister. What inspired him to get into that field, and why did he leave the ministry? What's he's working on these days? Any new books in the works?

This week on Relationships 2.0 my guest is Margaret Winslow author of Smart Ass: How a Donkey Challenged Me to Accept His True Nature & Rediscover My Own About the book: How do you resolve a midlife crisis? Margaret Winslow, an overworked college professor in New York City, answered a for-sale ad for a “Large White Saddle Donkey.” Hilarity ensued, along with life-threatening injuries and spirit-enriching insight. Walk with Winslow and Caleb the donkey through training traumas, expert-baffling antics, and humiliating races, and share in Winslow’s gradual understanding of Caleb’s true, undeniable gifts: a willingness to be true to himself no matter the circumstances, to trust, and to forgive. As she and Caleb learn to thrive, you’ll learn the importance of being true to your own pure and powerful self. About the author: In addition to an unwitting wrangler of a rambunctious donkey named Caleb, Margaret Winslow is a field geologist with over thirty years of wilderness experience in Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia, Antarctica, Alaska, and the Caribbean. Her award-winning travel memoirs have been featured on interviews on NPR's "West Coast Live," Bonnie D. Graham's "Read My Lips" on blogtalkradio, and the Tony Kilgallin Show on NapaTV. She has published over thirty papers in international scientific journals. Her fieldwork on earthquake hazards and archaeological settlement patterns in Alaska and Chile is featured in the PBS series “Fire on the Rim.” She is Professor Emerita of Earth Sciences at the City College of New York. She lives in the lower Hudson valley of New York with her husband, Joe Stennett, a retired oceanographer. Her hobbies include continuing attempts to train her donkey, memoir and mystery writing, singing, and hiking.
“In the Belly of the Beast” performance of Detective Kate Beckett is another awesome example of why #Stana Katic is such an amazing and talented actress. If you have not watched this Season 6 episode 17 of Castle, stop what you are doing right now and go watch it.. and then, watch it again ;) Suspense, intrigue and intense emotions will make their mark on you while watching this epic episode created and crafted by the writers Andrew W. Marlowe/David Amann and directed by Rob Bowman. It is VERY clear Stana put everything she has into playing this ingenious/tough/tenacious Detective in each episode every week. Adding to the mix are cast and crew singing Stana’s praises weeks ago during the actual filming and post production ~ including reading the tweets during the West Coast LIVE network viewing from Stana’s stunt double Shauna Galligan [@shaunagalligan] who testifies repeatedly to the amount of hard work Stana put into each take.. after take.. after take.. Be sure to get into the queue early tonight for the STR Round Table as the wave of thoughts/feelings about this intense episode and performances could definitely overwhelm us tonight. Here are Elena’s [no, not “Markov” ;) ] questions for tonight: http://stanatalkradio.com/str-round-table/str-172-030414-s6e17-in-the-belly-of-the-beast-recap/ … Photo credit/copyright[above - random BTR order]: ABC Studios/Network
