Back on August the first my show guest was Tina Field Howe, she is a lady of "so many hats" that the thirty minutes we chatted for only scratched the surface of this multi-talented lady.

One of the items that we discussed last time was the fact that Tina had received a grant from "The Arts Council of the Southern Finger Lakes" to turn her first book it an audio book. One stipulation of the grant was that she had to put on a performance of the show/audio before the end of the year. To this end there is a performance being put on during the "Sparkle Festival" in Corning at Soul Full Cup, 81 W. Market St., Corning, NY on Saturday, December 5, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Listen to the show and hear how Tina and her audio book has developed, not only that but her second book "The Trail Folk of Xunar-kun" has been won first place in ", he Trail Folk of Xunar-kun,"

I was lucky enough during this one hour special not only to speak to Tina, but also some of the actors and actresses who will be playing the parts in the audio book.

Several of the characters join in, including, Alison Chen, Tonery Rose Rogers and David Scott to name but a few. David might be better known for his "literal video version" version of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on youtube has almost 5 million hits

A Book and a Chat with "M.M Anderson" (Even a Werewolf joined in the show)

M.M. Anderson has always had an active imagination and a mischievously macabre sense of humor. As a child she enjoyed scaring her parents, brother, cousins, and friends with creepy stories and Halloweenish pranks. All the while secretly suspecting that as an infant she’d been separated from her real relatives: the Addams Family. Ms Anderson is however, as we found out on tonight's show a whole lot more than that.

She has published nonfiction works, including "zoo books' and prize winning short stories, created commercial ads, written music, and penned the lyrics in Turnaround for Signal 7.

As we found out during tonight's show the author wrote the first of what looks like being a series of these books in dedication to her late father.

There are many werewolf themed books out there, but this one give new life to the Genre. With action, romance, comedy and just a little bit of the unknown. M.M Anderson takes the reader into the world she creates. She not only gave life to unique characters, but she created a whole new world in which they live in.

Written, with "tongue in cheek" humor "Werewolf Dreams" has already been enjoyed by people of all ages, the much awaited sequel to Werewolf Dreams... Werewolf Love: Until Death Do Us Part, which will probably be released in 2011, and the third in the series will follow down the line.


So sit back and share a fun thirty minutes entertainment, where we even have a call in from a Werewolf, as I chat with author M.M.Anderson.

A Book and a Chat with "Harmony from PAYA"

I have blogged about PAYA and the fantastic work that Harmony, Yan and Josh Berk have done to support YA literature in Pennsylvania. So it was with great pleasure that I had Harmony along with a couple of other dial in guest on my show today.

PAYA, Bringing (More) YA to PA, is an initiative started by book bloggers Harmony and Yan with help from Tenner author and PA librarian, Josh Berk, in response to dramatic Pennsylvania state budget cuts that have reduced library funding by more than 25%.

Since I grew up in Pennsylvania, this struck a chord with me. Plus, I think it is absolutely amazing and impressive that Harmony, a just-turned 15 year old, and Yan, a 17 year old student, have taken this kind of initiative and done such an incredible job organizing a website, book drive, and auction, with plans for an annual Philadelphia YA Book Festival beginning summer 2010. Oh, and that’s in addition to their regular book blogging and schoolwork.

The show explains how PAYA came about, and what it is doing to help schools and library's in PA. Share the knowledge of how three young people have taken on the responsibility to help Young Adult Readers in Pennsylvania and how you to can help PAYA.

After all as Kat one of the dial in guests commented.

"Everybody should be able to read a book no matter what state or country they live in."

A Book and a Chat with "Gale Laure"

Gale Laure, a native Texan, is the international selling author of "Evolution of a Sad Woman". The book is a mystery, suspense, thriller, romance all rolled into one, and as was discovered during the radio show, her next book will even as Sci-Fi to that list.


Evolution Of A Sad Woman is a story that works on multiple levels; beneath the surface of a murder mystery lies the heart of a tale of the incomparable, enduring power of true love. As equally integral parts of her past, each of Kizzy’s five heirs managed to carve out their own special places in her heart, and, thus, subsequently plays a unique role in solving the mystery of her fate. By highlighting the genuine, heartfelt nature of their bonds, author Gale Laure helps the reader reach a higher appreciation of the emotional intricacy of her tale, and, ultimately, of love itself.

Written in a style all will enjoy, while this is Gale's first book it will certainly not be her last.

From having to re-write her novel when her computer crashed to saving her second book from the jaws of a hurricane. Stop by and listen to the fun thirty minutes as we discuss items virtual book tours, to where Kizzy the books female character might have developed from.

A Book and a Chat with "Courtney J. Webb"

Over the weeks, I've had guest calling parked at the side of the road, guest calling from up in the mountains or on a trail through the wilds. I've had guests from Canada and England, however today my show with Courtney J Webb was something different. Courtney is in Australia, and with the aid of a bottle of Prune Juice (that could cause some issues later on) joined the show at 2am in the morning her time.

Of course the fact that we are both from England even though thousands of miles a part meant we had lots to talk and laugh about.

I was using a new phone and it does seem to have a bit of an echo on it, so that needs to be sorted out, but I'm sure you can still enjoy the fun and laughter as I talk to Courtney about her and her book "Immaculate Deception"

Immaculate Deception is a rollicking look at sex, religion, crime and relationships in one delicious read. The novel follows the exploits of Craig Connery, a sexy ex-con whose split-second decision to take another man’s identity puts him in the most unlikely position: that of impersonating a priest.

Now, this decidedly nonreligious man must make it as a man of God. His first mission? Running a nursing home in regional Australia.

What follows is a high-stakes farce of biblical proportions as Craig dissembles his way through a life he knows nothing about. Along the why, he’ll glimpse a world whose secrets rival his own—and discover the shocking truth about the church, the elderly, and himself.


So why not listen to this fun thirty minutes as we discuss items from Marmite to Religion, listen and find out all about Courtney J Webb and her writing as she is today's guest on "A Book and a Chat"
