A Book and a Chat with C.L.Talmadge

As has been said on previous shows some people have been born to write and my guest on today’s “A Book and a Chat” is one such person.

C.L. Talmadge at the age of 13 new she wanted to write a novel, however at that time she was not ready to do so. She did however go on to create a career as a professional writer, when she became associate editor of The Suffolk County News. She has since been a fulltime staff writer at or freelanced for numerous media that include Adweek, Business Week, the Dallas Times Herald, Forbes, the International Herald Tribune, The New York Times, and Reuters America, among many others.

A couple of failed attempts to start the dreamed of novel came and went but her dream would not go away. After a period in her own life that produced a tremendous self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and profound emotional and spiritual healing and growth. She came to realize that the characters were showing her glimpses of lives were not just characters wanting to be part of her creation, but insights into her own past lives.

Suddenly one morning in 1998 she woke up knowing the story was there to write. Fourteen months later she had the rough drafts of not only "The Vision", but also of the second book, "Fallout".

That was the start of the Green Stone of Healing series, which now amounts to four books, "Outcast" being the latest in the series, with number five in the editing stage and number six already clamoring at her sense to be have its story told.

About “Green Stone of Healing” series (Taken from thegreenstoneofhealing.com)

What happens when politics, passion, and piety collide? The resulting global cataclysm obliterates a mighty nation and nearly destroys the world.

Welcome to the website of the Green Stone of Healing® speculative epic. This saga is a unique blend of action-adventure, alternate history, palace intrigue, the paranormal, and undying romance.

This serialized fiction chronicles how state backing for an exclusionary religion leads to worldwide destruction that sweeps away all traces of a powerful island country called Azgard.

Four generations of strong-willed women inherit a mysterious green gem revealed to mend broken bones and broken hearts, protect against human and natural assaults, and render its wearers undetectable.

These courageous protagonists use their jewel to offer a loving, inclusive alternative to theocrats who persecute those who do not look like them or share their beliefs.

Readers who become fond of these characters will be delighted that they reincarnate on their spiritual sojourns, affirming that not even death can divide lovers and loved ones (or enemies).

Jill Limber used to get herself into trouble when she was younger telling stories, however now she gets paid for telling them which just shows you. She has always been an avid reader and into historical novels, falling in love with American history from reading of “Gone with the Wind”. Her love of American history continued at college where she was a history minor taking every class that Dr.Nasitar, a renowned expert on the Civil War era offered, a few semesters later she sat in on a couple of his classes she already had credits for, just to hear him again.

Her journey into romance writing started with “The Right Track” a book close to her heart, it is set on an actual train car that is almost 100 years old. She herself in the guise of a personal chef has travelled many times on this car and has many wonderful memories.

Her early success was soon followed by others books such as “The Sherriff Wins a Wife”, “Secrets of an Old Flame” and “Montana Morning” continued to spread her name amongst romance readers.

Now she has travelled full circle with her new historical romance novel “A Heart That Dares” mixing her love of American Civil War history with her romance writing.
