Ann reported on The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon (Anchor 2015)West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. Themost mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behindher house just months after the tragic death of her daughter.Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice,and her younger sister. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that hasweighty consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished. Inher search for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneaththe floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked into the historical mystery, shediscovers that she's not the only person looking for someone that they've lost. But she may bethe only one who can stop history from repeating itself.Creepy, goosebumpy, scary ghost stories aren't only for cool fall evenings. It turns out that themiddle of January in remote Vermont when it's buried in snow is also the perfect setting for apsychological thriller filled with ghosts.Written by Jennifer McMahon, this is two stories in one with the common factor the setting of anold farmhouse on a secluded road in the very small town of West Hall, Vermont. The storiesalternate: One takes place in January 1908, including flashbacks about 20 years earlier. Theother takes place in the present day, also in January. This thickly-wooded homestead includesan outcropping of giant boulders that looks so much like a hand, the area has always beencalled Devil's Hand. Wander too far into the woods, and you might not make it out alive.Something is going on here, and those who have seen it believe there are ghosts in this spookyforest.It's January 1908. Sara Harrison Shea and her husband Martin Shea live in the farmhouse withtheir little girl, Gertie, who is 8 years old. One day she is found dead, having fallen 50 feet downa well. Sara collapses in grief, but writes her fears, anguish, and hopes into a secret diary. Saracomes to an untimely and gruesome death, which remains the stuff of legend in West Hall ahundred years later. She hid her diary in one of the hidey-holes in the old farmhouse, and manypeople want to find it because in it she supposedly left instructions on how to raise the dead tolife.Meanwhile in the present-day, Alice Washburne lives in the same farmhouse with her twodaughters, Ruthie, 19, and Fawn, 6. Alice, who is widowed, has lived off the grid for about 20years. No computer. No cell phone. No links to anyone in the world. Even in this small town, noteveryone knows who she is. On New Year's Day, Alice disappears. More than anything, Alicedislikes the police, so Ruthie knows she shouldn't call the cops. (This is one of several plotpoints—some small, some big—that make the mystery work. If Ruthie did call the cops orsomeone didn't lock her cell phone in the car so she didn't have it when she really needed it,things would have worked out quite differently. A little cheesy, perhaps.) The two stories—pastand present—converge as Ruthie discovers dark secrets about her own past and thosesurrounding this strange house.This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever read, and while the plots from both time periodsare rather farfetched, the book is a page-turner. It will keep you up past your bedtime, and if youread it then, you may very well have nightmares.Tracey's book was A Dark and Snowy Night by Sally Goldenbaum, #5 in the Seaside KnittersMystery Series (Kensington 2022)It's holiday season in the picturesque, coastal town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts! But in USAToday bestselling author Sally Goldenbaum's latest Seaside Knitters Society mystery, theknitting club sleuths will have to take a break from crafting cozy Christmas gifts to investigate amurder at the Mayor's holiday party.Winter in Sea Harbor is a feast for the senses—crackling bonfires, the scent of snow in the saltyair, carols ringing out on the village green. This year, the Seaside Knitters have a sackful ofobligations in addition to their usual Christmas preparations. Izzy is so overloaded with knittingclasses that she hires an extra salesperson, but the new addition has trouble fitting into the yarnshop's holiday spirit. Cass, juggling the stresses of running her lobster fishery, has finally founda nanny for her active toddler. Molly Flanigan seems practically perfect in every way—until shesuddenly disappears, taking Cass's beloved rescue mutt with her...Meanwhile, the holidays are kicking off in style at Mayor Beatrice Scaglia's holiday party, wherea well-dressed crowd admires the mayor's sumptuous new home and the celebrity chef cateringthe event. An additional treat for Ben and Nell Endicott at the festive affair is reconnecting with adear college friend, Oliver Bishop. But it's not just reunions and the appetizers that are to-die-for.Before the party-goers can toast the beginning of Sea Harbor's festive season, the chef—andyoung wife of the Endicott's old Harvard friend—is found dead beneath the mistletoe.Izzy, Birdie, Nell, and Cass must uncover the pattern to these mysteries to remove suspicionfrom those they love, bring a murderer to justice—and keep Sea Harbor's holiday magic fromvanishing into the chill winter air...TRIVIALast week's question was:Which mystery author was also a barrister?a. Linda Howardb. Patricia Moyesc. Eileen Dewshurstd. Nancy SpainThe answer is c. Eileen Dewhurst. She wrote the Hilary Tamar series This series of fourbooks, described as "legal whodunits", were written over a period of twenty years. Their primarysetting is the top floor of 62 New Square at Lincoln's Inn where four young junior barristers havetheir chambers: Michael Cantrip, Desmond Ragwort, Selena Jardine and Timothy Shepherd.While the last named only appears sporadically, taxes barrister Julia Larwood, who works in theadjacent premises, is a regular visitor and is in effect the fifth member of the group. Thesecharacters are in some ways thinly drawn (Selena is highly organized and efficient, Julia isclumsy and chaotic, Cantrip is casual and modern, Ragwort is elegant and conservative), nevercommunicating in anything other than an ironic tone, so that even when they are in deadlydanger the atmosphere remains uniformly light-hearted.This week's question is:Author Gary Phillips has edited several anthologies over the years. One that won particular accolades wasone that paid homage to a past president. Which one?a. Nixonb. Bushc. Washingtond. ObamaTune in next week for the answer.

Welcome to series 10, episode 6 of In Suspense - a podcast and vodcast for fans and writers of crime fiction. We're chatting to C.J.

On today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius Publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, is going to talk to Leah Day. She has worked as a clinical social worker for over 25 years. She has helped 1000 individuals and families in a variety of settings and parent support groups on extended wilderness expeditions for youth at risk and in private practice. Episode Highlights: 00:49: Recently Leah had chosen to switch careers, and in May of 2021 She opened the lighthouse bikes. 01:12: Leah and her husband are the parents of four children and when she has free time, you can often find her hiking mountains, cross country, skiing, skating, or canoeing with some variation of this pack accompanied by their two dogs at home. 01:32: Leah and her husband have always believed that the outdoors and adventure, as well as connecting with others in the global community, can have life-altering effects on people for bicycle rides across the United States. 01:58: Leah has logged over 10,000 miles touring and feels this may be just the beginning. She has written for Adventure Cycling magazine, spoken on several podcasts, appeared on NPR's Marketplace, kept a running blog called Bike Mum with over 68,000 views, and written a book called Changing Gears all, focusing on the importance of adventure. 03:30: Leah talks about the book that she wrote, called Changing Gears, which tells the story of her desire to connect with her son. 05:38: While talking about teenage kids, Leah shares her best approach to managing them. 05:55: Leah wanted his son to do something he could feel really proud of. He wanted him to be able to brag a little bit and say, "I did this, and I feel really good about it." 06:47: It's hard to get teenagers to agree to anything, Leah shares her experience and how she convinced him to take up biking. 07:18: Leah's son relished the opportunity to get out of school for three months and to see the world for three months and not to sort of wear the same pace to the school doors every day, which was becoming difficult for him. 09:06: Leah talks about the moments in the road when she really needed Oakley. That really changed their relationship in a pivotal way. 11:07: One of the beauties of being out there for so long is there is nothing else to do, says Leah. 13:00: When Leah finished the biking adventure, he promised that he would go on an adventure once a year for five years, not like months long, but at least for a week or two. 14:26: Leah writes about big adventures and little adventures often related to just people, so they are not just adventure stories. They are sort of introspective about how adventure affects me and the people around me, so that's called bike mom. 3 Key Highlights Leah shares how her son's confidence sort of had a lot of hard knocks because when you are constantly not quite meeting the standard, it's hard for you. Leah shares how she motivated her son to go on a biking trip and how the trip changed their relationship in a positive way. As teenagers, kids really need to be proud of themselves. And today there are just constant comparisons and social media makes it so intense. They can see a million people doing a million things and it's easy for teenagers, to opt-out and to just not get as engaged in things because somebody else is already doing it. Tweetable Quotes "Leah loves sharing her love of cycling with others. She finds it great fun to help others discover the world around them, as well as the world inside them." - Christopher "If I did something short term, it wouldn't stir up the pot as much as it needed to be stirred up." - Leah "I would read to him for a while, and then we both had our own books, so we would read together." - Leah "We read Winter People, which is about the native people of Maine." - Leah Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple https://bikemum.com/ Podcast Editing

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Jennifer McMahon. We'll be talking about her genre-defying novel, The Children on the Hill. Jennifer McMahon has been lauded by Chris Bohjalian (The Flight Attendant) as “a worthy literary descendent of Shirley Jackson.” She is the author of eleven novels, including the New York Times bestsellers Promise Not to Tell and The Winter People. McMahon is in the LibraryReads Hall of Fame. She lives in Vermont with her partner, Drea, and their daughter, Zella. In this episode Jennifer McMahon and I discuss: Why she had multiple false starts on her latest novel and what finally inspired her to finish. How she developed the idea of secrets and her process for layering them throughout the plot. What is a monster, what makes something monstrous, and why that distinction is important. Plus, her #1 tip for writers. For more info and show notes: diymfa.com/411

Du côté des jeux de table, Warhammer Fest laisse Luis indifférent - mais des spéciaux sur Bolt Action provoquent des mouvements de troupes massifs! Côté livres, Luis poursuit sur The Civil War de Shelby Foote, alors que Dan continue The Winter People - et lorgne un ouvrage sur l'Essentialisme et la Poursuite du Peu.

Border workers, frontline healthcare staff and their families are the priority group for the Covid-19 vaccine rollout in New Zealand.However, Newstalk ZB can reveal that people who aren't on the priority list and have no invitation to get vaccinated - have managed to line up to get the jab anyway.ZB reporter Courtney Winter went along to a vaccination centre in Otara this morning. She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that she went to the centre and joined the line for walk-ins. "A security guard came up to me and asked if I had a booking. I said no, he said 'that's cool', walked away, then came back and give me a consent form and I just waited in line."She says that around 20 to 30 people were waiting in the line, and they had heard from friends and families that you could show up and get the vaccine if you waited in line.Otara's South Seas vaccination clinic. Photo / Simon Rogers, RNZWinter says no one asked if she met the current requirements to be eligible for the vaccine. The consent form that she was given did not ask for any proof that she was a border or healthcare worker or what her health conditions are. "The only reason I left before actually going to see a vaccinator was I was told it was going to be a two to three hour wait. About 10 people then left and went to the Mt Wellington vaccination centre that just opened today." LISTEN ABOVE
https://jennifer-mcmahon.com I'm the New York Times Bestselling author of ten suspense novels including The Winter People and Promise Not To Tell. My latest, The Drowning Kind, will be out in April. I've written about ghosts, serial killers, shape shifting monsters, an evil fairy king, a kidnapping rabbit, and now, a terrifying swimming pool. My first novel was, at its heart, a ghost story. That novel drew me to write about the unexplained, the dark side, the fears that keep me awake at night, the way the past haunts the present. When studying writing in college and grad school, again and again I was told: Write what you know. But over the years, I have developed my own mantra, one which is so vital to who I am and what I do that I had it tattooed on my wrist: Write what scares you. I live in Vermont (in a creepy old Victorian on a hill) with my partner, Drea, and our daughter, Zella. When I'm not writing, I spend a lot of time exploring the dark Vermont woods and seeking out haunted places, real and imagined. VOX VOMITUS: Sometimes, it's not what goes right in the writing process, it's what goes horribly wrong.

Sur le Billard cette semaine A l'occasion de la sortie chez ESC de Retour vers l'Enfer, petite évocation du cinéma de Ted Kotcheff dont le chef d'œuvre hallucinant Wake in Fright avait été littéralement exhumé des oubliettes de l'Histoire du Cinéma il y a une petite dizaine d'années. On attend toujours dans de bonnes éditions d'autres de ses œuvres tout fait estimables, tel Winter People, North Dallas Forty ou Split Image. Il y a encore du boulot pour que le nom de Ted Kotcheff sorte de l'ombre, probablement celle de son plus gros succès, Rambo à propos duquel il est encore trop rarement cité. C'est d'ores et déjà un des événements cinématographiques de l'année, La Traque de Serge Leroy est enfin disponible dans une qualité autre que ce petit fichier cracra de 750 mo que l'on refilait à ses potes cinéphiles déviants le sourire en coin en vantant les mérites de ce film unique en son genre: un survival français avec Jean-Pierre Marielle, un rape and revenge avec Jean-Luc Bideau, un pur diamant noir parfumé à la vinasse. La Traque, c'est tout ça, mais, dans le magnifique écrin que lui a offert Le Chat qui Fume, c'est par dessus tout, on s'en rend compte de façon flagrante, un TRÈS grand film. Retour sur la filmo rare de Serge Leroy pour l'occasion. Merci au Chat, a priori, il en reste, dépêchez vous! A vos portes-monnaie! On a une page tipeee ! Donnez-nous vos sous!
