A Book and a Chat with Tom Weston

Today saw a welcome return to "A Book and a Chat" for Tom Weston.

First though I had to have my say about recent book banning and censorship that has gone on within the YA arena. To this end I am having a special program on Sunday October 24th at 6pm EST to discuss the whole subject of "Book Banning and Censorship".

That out of the way it was good to chat again with Tom. Previously he'd been on the program to discuss his transission from IT nonfiction writer to YA mystery writer, with his debut YA novel "The First Night" and his follow up book "The Elf of Luxembourg".

These two novels are the first, and as Tom shared during the program not the last in the “Jackie and Sarah” series of books.

“The First Night” being set in Boston, and of course the second book being set in Luxembourg, with a book set in Ireland and another in Prague in the pipe line I can see these... “Mystery while sharing the beauty of the country” style books becoming more and more popular.

During the show, Tom also shared with us the fact that he is currently transferring his screenplay “Fission: the Lise Meitner Story” into a novel, which to allow readers tidbits he’s serializing on Face Book, something that goes back to the days of the early Sherlock Holmes novels in the Victorian “Penny Dreadful’s”.

Tom once again was an interesting and entertaining guest.

So sit back and enjoy today’s “A Book and a Chat with Tom Weston”

A Book and a Chat with Tom Weston

My guest tonight, Tom Weston used to be a successful CEO of a consulting company, doing the rounds as conference speaker and writer of industry articles and business books. Then he visited Luxembourg.

From that trip the germ of an idea for a story was born, which developed when Tom returned to Boston, into not only his first YA novel "FIRST NIGHT" but also into his latest novel "The Elf of Luxembourg".

As Tom shared with us during the show the development of the characters and the story line of both books have not been as planned with characters making themselves known and leading him along different paths to the ones he set out to write.

Classed as a “History Mystery” both books allow Tom to fill the story with education as well as adventure.

Tom shared with us, how a trip around the Granary Burying Ground on Boston, not only lead to finding the name of the ghost who shares the plot on “First Night” but also how her age and the period when she lived helped shape more of the story.

Tom’s latest book "The Elf of Luxembourg", brings in a character which almost takes over the story from Jackie and Alex the heroes of the series, when they meet Cuchaquicha. His desire to be reunited with his wife and son connects Alex and Jackie to the past, but it is also a love story that readers get to see unfold as the book progresses.

From writing to producing an animated movie, through making calendars and even jigsaw related to his work, the show was a fascinating and entertaining thirty minutes.

So sit back and listen to “A Book and a Chat with Tom Weston”
