A Book and a Chat

With over over 500 shows  on his "A Book and a Chat" show he has learned there are many things that perhaps need to be said.

Perhaps not totally "PC" Barry shares his views on items of news or just general run of the mill events.

 

Today: "The Nay Sayers"

One of our most reular and always fun guest Kathi Maciasreturns to the show.

Always an interesting guest with a new book out or on it's way looking forward to catching up with Kathiu, finding out how her Christmas book "The Unexpected Christmas Hero" and some  unexepected happeningsa with that novel. Also finding out about  her new book The Moses Quilt"

One of my favorite guests so this has to be a one hour special

Romance author Kaylin McFarren makes a welcome return to the program to chat about the awards she has rceieved since last on the show, the "Thread" series adding suspence and action advetnure to her award winning  romance stories and whatever else we can think to chat about.

J.B.Miller is a published author of fiction, non-fiction, award-winning poetry, music, and numerous articles and blogs. No Time For Love is her first novel.

One reviewer wrote...

“Totally a fun read!

No one has anytime for much of anything, let alone love in this book. I have so much fun just following along with which character was going for who, only to be surprised by the end!”

 

So looks like a great show

With over over 500 shows  on his "A Book and a Chat" show he has learned there are many things that perhaps need to be said.

Perhaps not totally "PC" Barry shares his views on items of news or just general run of the mill events.

 

Today - Job Hunting

My first of the YA debut authors for this year appears on my show today. Member of the Class of 2K13 Liz's is joining me to chat about her book "Hooked".

Hooked is the story of a Native American girl with a killer golf swing who joins the all boys' golf team and takes on the boy with the killer smile.

 "Not just a Romeo and Juliet story, the book examines the conflicts of white versus Indian and rich versus poor, giving it far more heft than the average romance.   Can't wait to chat to.

Deborah Dupre is the author of the perhaps "contaversial" VAMPIRE of MACONDO. In the book she personal encounters with graceful southern Louisiana life and petrochemical-military-industrial thugs will transform your perspective on our addiction to fossil fuel.

For over thrity years Deborah has been a leader in human rights, environmental, and peace-social justice activism and is an active member in several professional organizations including Psychologists for Social Responsibility.

Her work has lead to several online attacks perhaps because she rattled big brothers cage. Sure to nbe an interesting chat.

My guest today is Brigitte Martin, the author of  a beautiful - and very funny - coffee table style book, "Humor in Craft"

She has just named an award-winning finalist for the 2012 USA Best Book Awards

So looking forward to chatting as the show is sure to be a good one.

Comedian Joe Wenke is the author of "YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING: A LITERAL READING OF THE BIBLE" an engaging, provocative and often hilarious investigation into the bestselling book of all time.

The gist of the book is his take on what the Bible is really saying, using the type of humor comparable to that of Bill Maher, John Stewart and George Carlin.  Wenke admits the book is meant to “cause trouble” and provoke deeper thought during a time when religious fundamentalism is gaining strength around the world.

Authors on various social media sites are being tagged about “The Next Big Thing”, they are joining in answering questions about what their current status. Sharing with the readers on blogs etc just what they are up to and what their “next big thing” they are working on is new releases etc.

As the last show of 2012 I plan to share with you the audience some of the news being provided by authors.
