A Book and a Chat with Becky Due


Becky Due, stopped by tonight’s “A Book and a Chat” as my special guest.

She is becoming a voice in woman’s fiction with her courage, honesty and writing style for today’s busy women, that does not cringe away from hard issues.

It was not always like that for her, as we learned during a very interesting show, a lot of what she writes about are from her own life story, one that I hope someday she put in a biography for us all to read.

After extensive training at Victim Services, worked the 24-Hour Sexual Assault Crisis-Line and was a Victim's Advocate where she offered one-on-one assistance and support to rape victims. She found herself running away once too often and decided to put down and start writing. The resulting four novels and children’s book, not only show the talent of her writing, but also how she is able to write novels which teach as well as entertain.

From her first book “The Gentleman’s Club” through the multi award nominated “Touchable Love” Becky has with her passion, writing, has been able to use her own experiences to share a common bond with many other woman.
This is even more evident in her novel “Returning Injury, A Suspense Celebrating Women's Strength” which touches on stalking.

Her books always celebrate the fun, strength and independence of women, because she believes women are fun, strong and should always maintain independence.
This is very evident in her latest book “The Dumpster” a book which I enjoyed myself, laughing out loud at several points in the book.

About “The Dumpster”:

One Woman’s Search for Love is a Contemporary Romance Novel set in Miami, Florida about Nicole, a cute, chubby, twenty-something woman, who is looking for love in all the wrong places. Who would have guessed that a dumpster in the back alley below her bedroom window would hold the key to finding love?

I am also looking forward to perhaps a follow up to her children’s book “Blue the Bird on Flying” yet another string to the bow of this talented author

So sit back and listen to today's thoroughly entertaining show as I host today's "A Book and a Chat with Becky Due".

A Book and a Chat with Shobhan Bantwal

“Bollywood in a Book” is a term used to describe my guest on today’s “A Book and a Chat”, though Shobhan Banwal creates a lot more within the pages of her books than any Bollywood film set.

Previously Shobhan was a guest on the show telling us about her book “The Sari Shop Widow” today she joined us to share about her latest novel “The Unexpected Son”.

Shobhan writes Women's Fiction with a touch of romance and sometimes a little her novels incorporate the rich elements of her Indian culture: beliefs, myths, legends, superstitions, foods, scents, recipes, clothing, accessories, language including slang, history, geography, and most anything that can add to your entertainment and knowledge.

THE UNEXPECTED SON:

What happens when a woman who's realized her dreams wakes up to a shocking truth? A captivating tale of one woman's return to India: the place where she lost everything--and now has everything to gain...

As “Romance Reviews Today” put it…

This enchanting, heartbreaking, but uplifting tale was impossible to put down ... extremely well-written book that will grab you at page one."

This is her fourth book and as she shared there is already another book waiting to be brought out in 2011.

So sit back and enjoy today’s “A Book and a Chat with Shobhan Bantwal

YA Month - "A Book and a Chat with Sarah MacLean"

January is YA Radio month on A Book and a Chat, with special guest throughout the month, not only authors but bloggers as well.


So what do you get if you cross the daughter of a spy with Jane Austen?

One answer might be Sarah MacLean my guest on today's "A Book and a Chat".

Sarah was one of the authors that many wanted to be included in my YA Radio Week, her book "The Season" has been one of the most popular YA novel over the last year.


During the show, Sarah shares with us, all about "The Season" and how she came about writing this YA Historical Romance novel. Rave reviews are littered around the net, and the questions put to her from both readers and fellow authors showed just how much this book is being enjoyed.

We learned during the show about not only Sarah's love of the Regency period of history, but also her knowledge of the time, which be it from the langauge, the dress of the characters just enhances this "The Season". Much to the delight of many listeners we found out that this book will spread into a Trilogy, bringing back many of the much loved characters that have appeared in this first novel.

Sarah also shared with us about her new book "Nine Rules to break when Romancing a Rake" the first of a more adult romance series due to be released in March, and already much anticipated.

With more books due hopefully throughout 2010 and into 2011 Sarah's writings are sure to please readers of all ages who enjoy a historical novel full of great characters and romance sprinkled with enough humor and mystery to keep the reader wanting to turn the pages.

As normal the show went by way to quick, an hour of entertainment covering many items that will be of interest to all ages.
