A Book and a Chat

Dominick Domingo is the author of 'The Nameless Prince,' a Young Adult Urban Fantasy novel

  Seth Bauman has issues. His Mom split ten years ago, right after his birth, and guardian Uncle Troy won’t discuss the past. Seth’s only friend is Mexican immigrant Elena, whom he must walk home from school through Silverlake’s gang-ravaged streets. When Elena is abducted by local gang ‘the Mayans,’ Seth has no choice but to follow the Boatman of the L.A. River ...

into the sprawling network of sewers and metro tunnels concealing Mayan headquarters. To Seth the great labyrinth is a magical realm called ‘the Interior,’ whose residents immediately deem him the ‘Nameless Prince’ of prophecy, sent to save them from peril.

To find Elena, Seth embarks on an odyssey of riddles and self-discovery. Only in ‘Interia’ is it safe to discover the truth about his past, and the forgiveness that will set him free. In rescuing Elena he rescues his own innocence. In fulfilling prophecy by learning his name, Seth discovers the greatness that lies within.

Pauline is the author of "Ashes Ashes the Twins Fall Down" about 9/11 and the Twin tours.

debut book tells the story of her trying to cope with the tragic event, its immediate repercussions on her family, and the re-framing of the vision of America that she, like so many of us, was forced to undergo because of that fateful September day.

“Where were you on 9/11?” the author asks, and as she relates the events of her morning on that sunny, late summer day, readers will find their own memories brought into a clearer light of hearing the tragic news on the car radio or from a fellow employee when they arrived at work or from a family member’s phone call asking if they were all right.

Having my own views on 9/11 from a background of IRA murdering and explosions in the UK it will be, I am sure an interesting chat.

Jonathan Maxwell previosuly on the show talking about his book "Murderous Intellectuals: German Elites and the Nazi SS" makes a welcome retrun to chat about his new book "Piltdown Man and Other Hoaxes", which is a lighthearted examination of scientific frauds through history, such as the Minnesota Iceman Hoax.

Looking forward to having Jonathan back on the show

C. L. Talmadge, author of the Green Stone of Healing® series, is familiar with the intimate link between spirituality, energy, and healing.

She attempted to write a novel in 1982 and again in 1985 each time abaondoned, but her dream of writing a novel would not go away.

Instead, throughout a period of tremendous self-discovery, spiritual awakening, and profound emotional and spiritual healing and growth via Sunan therapy, C.L. still yearned to write fiction. She thought often about her characters and the tantalizing bits of their lives and stories that she had gleaned over several decades of research and introspection.
