MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 157
Originally aired Wednesday May 22,2024
Featuring Multi-genre author AARON RYAN.
ABOUT AARON: Aaron Ryan lives in Washington with his wife and two sons, along with Macy the dog, Winston the cat, and Merry & Pippin, the finches. He is the author of the "Dissonance" series, several business books on multimedia production penned under a pseudonym, as well as a previous fictional novel, "The Omega Room." When he was in second grade, he was tasked with writing a creative assignment: a fictional book. And thus, “The Electric Boy” was born: a simple novella full of intrigue, fantasy, and 7-year-old wits that electrified Aaron’s desire to write. From that point forward, Aaron evolved into a creative soul that desired to create. He enjoys the arts, media, music, performing, poetry, and being a daddy. In his lifetime he has been an author, voiceover artist, wedding videographer, stage performer, musician, producer, rock/pop artist, executive assistant, service manager, paperboy, CSR, poet, tech support, worship leader, and more. The diversity of his life experiences gives him a unique approach to business, life, ministry, faith, and entertainment. Aaron’s favorite author by far is J.R.R. Tolkien, but he also enjoys Suzanne Collins, James S.A. Corey, Marie Lu, Madeleine L’Engle, C.S. Lewis, and Stephen King. Aaron has always had a passion for storytelling.

Originally aired Wednesday May 15,2024
Featuring Fantasy Author JUDITH STARKSTON.
Judith Starkston has spent too much time reading about and exploring the remains of the ancient world. Early on she went so far as to get degrees in Classics from the University of California, Santa Cruz and Cornell. She writes historical fantasy set in the Bronze Age of the Greeks and Hittites. Her five novels bring women to the fore—whether the Trojan War captive Briseis or a remarkable Hittite queen whom history forgot, even though she ruled over one of the greatest empires of the ancient world.
Judith lives in Davis, California with her husband and a rambunctious garden. Judith is represented by Richard Curtis. Sign up for her author newsletter on JudithStarkston.com for a free novella, a cookbook of Bronze Age foods in her novels, book news, and giveaways.

MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast LIVE - Episode 155 - MAGNOLIA BLUFF CRIME CHRONICLES 2024 Reveal Part 2
Originally Streamed LIVE Wednesday May 8,2024 
 Featuring Underground Authors April Nunn Coker and Joe Congel.
ABOUT APRIL: I love words. Mostly written words. I love to write them and read them. A good book is a treasure. I have loved to read from the time I learned to recognize words, and as long as I can remember, I have loved to write. After I discovered Harriett the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh in my elementary school library, I determined to follow Harriett’s lead and observe the world around me, without spying, of course! That is when I began putting words on paper and creating worlds and characters and events from my imagination. Soon I was sharing stories with my friends and teachers. I received good grades on writing assignments and later became editor of my high school newspaper. I wanted to be a writer. God had other plans for me. I taught high school English and science for 30 years first. Then I became a published author. Life is full.
ABOUT JOE: Joe Congel grew up in Syracuse, NY, and currently lives in beautiful Charlotte, NC. He got his first break in the world of publishing when he illustrated the humorous book, Housetraining Your VCR, A Help Manual for Humans, published by Grapevine Publications back in the early ’90s. A few years after Housetraining set the world on fire, Joe decided that he was better suited as a writer rather than as an artist, so he began crafting stories that allowed the reader to use their own imagination to add the visuals to the narrative. Since he’s enjoyed reading murder mysteries and PI detective stories all his life, he felt he had a pretty good grasp on how to create an engaging character in the world of private detecting. DEAD IS FOREVER is the first book in the Razzman Mystery Crime Files series, featuring Tony Razzolito, PI. The book is set in Syracuse, NY, and Charlotte, NC, with upcoming books in the series concentrated more in and around the Charlotte area. Joe is uniquely qualified to write about both areas of the country since he lived in Syracuse for 36 years and Charlotte for the last 25 plus years. When he’s not writing, you will most likely find him spoiling his three grandchildren.

MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE - Episode 154 - GUY ROBIN 
Originally aired  Wednesday May 1,2024
Featuring U K Author Guy Robin.
ABOUT GUY: Guy grew up on the South coast of England, near Bournemouth. He lost his father when he was five and was brought up by his mother, who then secured his education at Reeds School in Surrey. At 21 he joined the Metropolitan Police Service, serving for 30 years in a variety of roles and departments, but regards his years at Battersea Police Station to have been his most enjoyable time in the Job!
Since retirement from the Police Guy had worked as a document collection and statement taking agent. He has been a driver for several driving agencies and ended driving for one private client. Guy is married to Paula and they spent many years in a quiet town in Sussex. In 2023 they made the decision to try something new. In July of 2023 they finally moved to a house in a small village in the Dordogne region of France.
The time and solitude afforded to him by the lockdown restrictions led to a fulfilment to write a piece of fiction in 2022. A second novel is now complete and is currently awaiting publication in early 2024. Guy has changed genre and written a historical fiction piece set during the first half of the 20th century.
Guy’s interests are many and varied. He played hockey for many years for the Police and then for Crowborough Hockey club, where he met his wife. Guy enjoys the outdoors, particularly walking great distances across the South Downs and now along the many French footpaths of his region. He collects GB, US and Olympic stamps and Scottish Malt whisky. He is a keen motorcyclist, having recently passed his Advanced motorcyclist qualification. He is looking forward to tearing around the highways and byways of Europe, hopefully with Paula clinging on too. Guy has more work in the pipeline. He is currently just finishing his third project, with a fourth in the development stage.
