WES BROWNE chats to Scott Blackburn & Paul Burke about his noir THEY ALL FALL THE SAME, (US Amazon link) why it wasn't called Spoon, the Appalachians, North Carolina, pizza and community.They All Fall the Same: Cannabis kingpin Burl Spoon has reigned over the Jackson County area for three decades, building a powerful backwoods empire. But behind a well-run organization, his personal life is crumbling - his daughter can't stay clean; his son has hated him since coming out; and after enduring years of infidelity, his wife is straying too. The only person not on his payroll who still adores him is his six-year-old granddaughter, Chelsea. When his daughter overdoses on heroin laced with fentanyl and one of his employees is murdered, Burl's retaliation against Clovis Begley, the patriarch of the heroin-dealing family involved in both deaths, is inevitable. As Burl's plan spirals into a firestorm of vengeance that threatens the safety of his granddaughter, his drive for revenge conflicts with his longing for redemption. On the brink of losing everything, Burl must find a path between retribution and protecting what's left of his family.Wes Browne has lived and practiced law as a criminal defense attorney, prosecutor, and public defender in Appalachian Kentucky for over twenty-four years. He also helps run his family's pizza shops.Mentions and recommends: Mark Westmoreland, Henry Wise, SA Cosby, Silas House, Wiley Cash, David Joy, Tom Franklin, Ron Rash, Robert Gipe, Barbara Kingsolver, Chris Offutt, Leah Hampton, Annette Clapsaddle, Eryk Pruitt, Kelly J Ford, Steve Weddell, Benjamin Percy, James DF Hannah, Ted Flanagan, Dom Nolan, Donald Ray Pollock, Elmore Leonard.

In the latest Season 4 episode of the Rock is Lit Reading Series, author Thomas Calder takes us into the heart of his poignant novel, ‘The Wind Under the Door'. Set against the vibrant backdrop of contemporary Asheville and the majestic North Carolina mountains, the story follows Ford Carson as he navigates love, family, and artistic reinvention. At forty, Ford has forged a new life as a visual artist in the mountains of North Carolina. A chance meeting with Grace Burnett leads to a burgeoning love affair. But the romance is complicated by Grace's estranged husband and the unexpected arrival of Ford's own estranged son. Asheville's cultural and physical landscapes shape the narrative, with the music of Arcade Fire as an emotional and thematic thread woven throughout the story. Tune in to hear an excerpt from this beautifully nuanced story and gain insight into the creation of a book that, as Wiley Cash says, “is a love letter to our reckless hopeful moments and dangerous impulses.” Thomas Calder earned his MFA in creative writing from the University of Houston. His work has appeared in ‘Gulf Coast', ‘Miracle Monocle', ‘The Collagist', and elsewhere. He lives in Asheville, North Carolina with his wife, daughter, and dog. ‘The Wind Under the Door' is his debut novel.

Heather Newton's “McMullen Circle” Brings Characters in a Small Town to Life In this episode 278, we visit with Heather Newton, author of “McMullen Circle,” a collection of connected short stories, and finalist for the W.S. Porter Prize. In 1969, as Karl Wallenda prepares to tight-rope walk across the gorge in the tiny town of Tonola Falls, Georgia, faculty families at the McMullen Boarding School learn about racism, war, and what makes a hero. Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of A Land More Kind Than Home, had this to say about the book:"These deeply literary, heartfelt, and heartbreaking characters call to mind the work of Elizabeth Strout, Gail Godwin, and Richard Russo, but Heather Newton is her own writer. Her characters are shot through with longing and hope, and in this small community we watch as big dreams and big desires are dreamed and felt, run toward and away from. This is the kind of book that readers return to to reemerge themselves in Newton's world, and it's also the kind of book that writers return to to see how she pulled it off."

In the early 2010s, anyone following the author Wiley Cash on Facebook would find what they'd likely expect. There were posts about Cash's upcoming books and readings, raves about other authors and some photos of Cash's wife and the birth of their first child. But toward the middle of the decade, Cash began sprinkling in posts of a more political nature. "I am no journalist, but somebody who engages publicly with ideas and doesn't only launch my ideas out in a book every three to four years or whenever I can get around to publishing them," Cash said. "I saw whatever tiny mouthpiece I have in my corner of the Internet or book tour as a valuable place to share the ideas that I have."

Wiley Cash's “When Ghosts Come Home” In this episode 245, we visit with Wiley Cash, the New York Times bestselling author of “When Ghosts Come Home,” a thrilling and suspenseful mystery against the backdrop of the Coastal Carolinas in 1984. When a plane crashes in the middle of the night at a nearby airfield, Sheriff Winston Barnes discovers the body of a Black man shot dead in the grass near the crash site. With a long suspect list, including the pilot of the downed plane, simmering racial tensions, and an uncertain future, Barnes sets out to do his duty amongst extraordinary circumstances. Lauren Wilkinson, author of “American Spy”, had this to say about the book, “Wiley Cash's latest is an unputdownable knock-out: written in deft, thrilling prose, this book is both a gripping murder mystery and a thoughtful exploration of systemic racism in America. The perfect novel for our present moment."

What happens when you meet Brooklyn's voodoo queen in New Orleans? Author Mandy Haynes will answer that question as we explore New Orleans voodoo traditions. https://threedogswritepress.com/ Mandy Haynes has spent hours on barstools, at backstage venues, and riding in vans listening to tales from some of the best songwriters and storytellers in Nashville, Tennessee. She now lives in Fernandina Beach, Florida with her three dogs, a turtle, and a grateful liver. Walking the Wrong Way Home was a finalist for the 2017 Tartt Fiction Award and chosen as a bonus book for The 2019 Pulpwood Queen Book Club Reading List. Sharp as a Serpent's Tooth Eva and Other Stories was chosen as a bonus book for The 2020 Pulpwood Queen Book Club Reading List. Mandy worked for twenty-six years for Vanderbilt University Medical Center before deciding to run away to Amelia Island. She started as a clerk, working in the mailroom and making thousand of copies of patients medical records - but worked her way up to finish the last sixteen years as a pediatric cardiac sonographer at Monroe Carroll Jr. Children's Hospital. Some of her favorite memories include her time as a receptionist/administrative assistant in Addiction Psychiatry, break-room antics with her fellow refund clerks, and of course all of the families and children she met in cardiology. Fans of Fannie Flagg, Flannery O'Conner, Wiley Cash, Rick Bragg, Harper Lee, and Harry Crews might enjoy her writing style. These stories are for readers who like to chase their stories with a shot of whiskey while burrowed under a hand stitched quilt.

Featuring: Belinda Bauer, Wiley Cash, Jonathan Freedland, Nicci French and Cath Staincliffe. Is the crime novel essentially an up-dated morality tale? The crime genre can help us contemplate some of the most important questions of our time. How can the press spend so many column inches on the tragic overdose of a Hollywood star when hundreds of drug-related deaths go unreported every year? Is murder ever justified? And where does euthanasia fit into the debate? Belinda Bauer, Wiley Cash, Jonathan Freedland, Nicci French and Cath Staincliffe chew over the rights and wrongs, with sensitivity, passion, and a dash of black humour. The Morality Of Murder was recorded live at Harrogate International Festivals' Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in July 2015.
