A Book and a Chat with Jill Limber


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. So for Jill it was natural to write a story set on the car, as a great deal of the book was written during trips from San Diegoto Chicago and Washington D. C.

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.

About “A Heart That Dares”:

Amanda Giles, an unconventional and free-spirited young artist, has to fulfill a deathbed promise to her brother before she can take up her life as a Bohemian in New York. She finds herself swept up in the perilous life of an undercover espionage agent for the Army of the North with handsome young Army Captain. Daniel McGrath.

Daniel knows his preoccupation with the woman posing as his wife puts them both in grave danger, but he finds Amanda has no intention of abandoning their mission. As the danger increases, Daniel's most vital objective is to secure a future for himself and the woman he loves.


With a further historical romance already underway, Jill Limber continues to be a much read and enjoyed..

A Book and a Chat with Kristina McMorris

Some people are just creative, no matter what they do with their lives and my guest on today’s show is just one of those people. As on today’s show award winning actress, TV host and now author, Kristina McMorris drops by for a chat.

Kristina is creativity personified. She’s an actress, TV show host, entrepreneur, and public relations whiz, as well as an author. She hosted a children’s TV show for five years beginning at age nine, had a stint on Days of Our Lives and was in a comedy sketch with Jay Leno on The Tonight Show during college, and was the weekly host of the WB’s show Weddings Portland Style from 2001-2008. After earning a Marketing degree in three years at Pepperdine University, she founded her own company, Best Kept Secret, a full-service wedding and event planning business. She’s served as Director of Public Relations and Special Events for her family’s 18-company conglomerate, the Yoshida Group (perhaps most recognized for its line of Mr. Yoshida’s Gourmet Sauces) for over a decade.

Her trip into the world of being an author began in the fall of 2006 as a result of interviewing her grandmother for the biographical section of a self-published cookbook intended as a holiday gift for the family. During this time her Grandmother shared with Kristina her own war time romance and the large pile of letters between herself and her late husband.

From this acorn of an idea, the mighty oak that is now a numerous award winning novel “Letters from Home”.

About Letters from Home:

Inspired by a true account, LETTERS FROM HOME is a story of hope and connection, of sacrifices made in love and war – and the chance encounters that change us forever. n the midst of World War II, a Midwestern infantryman falls deeply in love through a yearlong letter exchange, unaware that the girl he’s writing to is not the one replying. Woven around this tenuous thread are three female friends whose journeys toward independence take unexpected turns as a result of romance, tragedy, and deception, their repercussions heightened by an era of the unknown.

Having spent a year in Florence during college, she dreams of living in Italy in a villa purchased with her millions of royalty dollars, but for now her family is content to dine at Olive Garden. However with a second book “Bridge over Scarlet Leaves” due out early next year, it looks like this creative lady has another successful string to her bow, this time as a bestselling author, perhaps that dream might happen.

So sit back and listen to today's interesting and entertaining show as I host today's "A Book and a Chat with Kistina McMorris".
