Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt Dianne Burckhardt

Hello Happy People,

Today Dianne talks with the wonderful sci-fi author, N. Joseph Glass (Joseph). Like Dianne, Joseph is an American expat in Europe. He is an Italian American currently living in Milan, Italy.  

In recent years, he has devoted his time, along with his two grown sons, to helping the refugee community in Italy. When not focused on his humanitarian efforts, Joseph fills his free time reading and with his more recent exploration into creative writing. 
Joseph has always been fascinated by stories that ignite his imagination. By his own admission, Joseph acknowledges that his move into creative writing was not planned, but rather just happened. What started off as a hobby, evolved into credible works in progress. In 2022, Joseph published Colony’s Dawn: Book One of the New Europa Trilogy. This series has received glowing reviews as well as a few accolades, including a Readers’ Favorite 5 Star Seal for Best Science Fiction audiobook of 2023.

With his first steps into publishing being so well received, it is not surprising to find his latest book, Overlap: The Lives of a Former Time Jumper had earned him another Readers’ Favorite 5 Star Seal as well as a Literary Titan Award.

Don't wait, go listen to this incredible author's interview now.

Hello Happy People,

Today Dianne is thrilled to bring another amazing cookbook author to all of you. Nandita Godbole has reinvented herself many times. She has been a botanist and a landscape architect, but family influence finally won out as she followed in the footsteps of many others in her family and ventured into the kitchen with a new purpose.
Nowadays you can find Nandita either in the kitchen creating new and wonderful recipes or in her potter’s shed creating beautiful dishes to display her creations on. For many, being a personal chef and a potter would be enough to focus on, but Nandita found more creative outlets to explore.


To fulfill her creative side, she explores art in many forms including being an artist, a graphic designer, a poet, and an author with several published works which include fiction as well as several cookbooks. She also creates and sells spice blends from her website Curry Cravings™ Kitchen and according to her, she is an eternal dreamer.


Nandita writes books with the intention to bring greater awareness to the general public about traditional Indian food and show others just how easy it can be to create amazing, delicious, and healthy dishes. Just don’t let her website name fool you, you will not find a recipe for a “curry” in any of her cookbooks. What you will find is an amazing collection of recipes for kormas, stews, and saucy dishes which are often referred to as “curries” in many restaurants.


​Nandita's work has brought her a lot of attention from numerous publications and broadcasters. She has appeared in Eater, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Food Network, Epicurious, and Healthline just to name a few. Now she is on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt - Book Talk Podcast so she can share her knowledge with all of you.

Hello Happy People
Dianne brings you her first ever writing team interview. While she has interviewed authors with a partner, she's never interviewed both authors in the same interview. She had so much fun talking with Jeff Ayers and Jon Land, she may have to reconsider and do more multi-author interviews. 


Both men were both accomplished writing professionals long before they joined forces to create the unique and masterfully crafted thriller, Leave No Trace, the first in a new series under their pseudonym, A. J. Landau. If you are blessed to spend any time at all speaking with this talented duo, it is easy to see how they complement each other in style, knowledge, and mutual admiration. 


Jeff Ayers worked as a reference librarian for nearly 30 years while pursuing his own writing career as a freelance writer and reviewer, for which he earned honors such as Fiction Reviewer of the Year. During his career Jeff had the opportunity to interview such notable authors as Dan Brown and James Patterson, among others. 


Jon Land has been a noted author since the 1980s with more than 60 books to his credit. While best known for his long and respected career as a thriller writer, Jon has produced a variety of work from award-winning nonfiction to a screenwriting credit for the film Dirty Deeds.  


Listening to the men talk about their working relationship, it's easy to understand how this writing team works so well. Both men are quick to compliment the other for what they bring to the partnership. Their thriller, Leave No Trace has received numerous impressive recommendations from a host of bestselling authors. such as Michael Connelly, Brad Meltzer, Lisa Gardner, Karin Slaughter, and more.

Hello Happy People,

Today Dianne shares with you the amazing interview she had with author Boo Trundle. The women had a very deep discussion about the introspective process behind writing books, fiction or nonfiction, when the author puts so much of themselves into the work and how it can affect not only the author but those around them.

It has been said that there are no more original stories, only retellings. But Boo not only defies that notion with her book, The Daughter Ship, but completely blows it out of the water.  Her story of a wife and mother struggling with mental illness gives an incredibly unique take on the way people cope with inner demons. While it is often common practice for writers to describe characters such as Boo Trundle’s Katherine as using different methods to suppress disturbing thoughts and emotions, readers would be hard pressed to find another work where they were quite literally trapped in a submerged submarine.
While The Daughter Ship is Boo’s first published novel, with her creative past, it is easy to understand how she would have the skills and experience to craft such an imaginative and engaging book. Boo is not only a writer and an author but she is also an artist and a performer. Don't wait ... go listen to her interview now and hear all the details from the author herself.

Hello Happy People,

Today we bring you an interview with the incredible interracial romance author, Khushi T. Saha. Dianne and Khushi talked about her writing process, all of her published works, and an upcoming event where fans could actually meet her. They did the usual five quick questions that turned out surprisingly quicker than normal. 
Khushi is a first-generation Bangladeshi in America. While she was born and raised in the U.S., her connection to the motherland is fierce. It is easy to recognize South Asian references and representation purposely sprinkled throughout her novels.


Khushi has always been a notorious daydreamer, finding distraction in the creation of her own worlds. When you add this creative mindset to her tendency to be, in her words, a mushy person, it is easy to understand the appeal romance books held for her, both reading and writing.


Khushi credits her decision to write romance novels as an attempt at self-care. Writing became therapy to deal with past personal trauma. There was no way she could have predicted her chosen method of healing would eventually evolve into a full fledged romance writing career.


In her novels, Khushi strives to bring a voice to underrepresented people with her interracial romances. Her stories are full of angst and personal growth, with plenty of steamy passion, a touch of snarky humor, and love.


Don't wait, go listen now, then check out the latest issue of Book Banter Magazine on sale now for just $2.99 on BurckhardtBooks.com for more information on Khushi and all the authors coming up on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt - Book Talk Podcast in the next two months.

Hello Happy People,

To say that J.R. Byers is a lifelong fan of romance novels is not much of an exaggeration. She fell in love with the genre at the tender age of twelve. Since then, her love of romance has only grown. When J.R. first felt the urge to pen her own fiction, romance was the obvious choice. 
​With so many sub-genres available to dabble in, J.R. has used her platform to explore more than just one theme for her storytelling. Writing contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels gave her a creative outlet that has been well received by her readers. 

​While her current books in the Blackwood series have not received numerous reviews as of yet, the ones they have acquired are amazing. To find out more about J.R. Byers and her books, listen to her interview then check out her pages in the Feb/Mar issue of Book Banter Magazine on our website, BurckhardtBooks.com.
