On the latest episode of Now, Appalachia, Eliot interviews author Jayne Waldrop about her latest novel DROWNED TOWN. Jayne Waldrop is a western Kentucky native and is the author of Retracing My Steps, a finalist in the 2018 New Women's Voices Chapbook Contest, and Pandemic Lent: A Season in Poems. Waldrop's work has appeared in the Anthology of Appalachian Writers, Still: The Journal, Appalachian Review, New Madrid Review, Deep South Magazine, New Limestone Review, Women Speak, and other literary journals. She lives in Lexington, Kentucky.

In this episode 252, we visit with L. C. Fiore, author of “Coyote Loop,” a novel of a father, John Ganzi, his estranged teenage daughter, and the great recession of 2008.

When his daughter, Jeanie, unexpectedly moves in with him, he takes this as an opportunity to one-up his absent father and become a real dad. They make an unusual pair, but when tragedy strikes, they must work together to resolve their differences, or risk losing everything.

Emily Gray Tedrowe, author of The Talented Miss Farwell, had this to say about the book, “As gritty and shrewd as Chicago itself, Coyote Loop brilliantly probes the underbelly of our city's famed trading pit in the nadir of 2008, where brutality and grace collide in John Ganzi: South Sider, struggling dad, and a character I won't soon forget."

Join Pamela Fagan Hutchins for Part 2 of a hilarious "Micki says, Pamela says" segment in her chat with ME "Micki" Browning, author of the Jo Wyatt series and new release MERCY CREEK, as the two Mountain West mystery writers go head to head on "Confidential Never Asked Questions."

M.E. BROWNING writes the Jo Wyatt Mysteries. The first in the series, Shadow Ridge, won the Colorado Book Award for Mystery and the silver medal in the popular fiction category of the Florida Book Awards. The adventures continue in Mercy Creek, which launches in October 2021. Writing as Micki Browning, she penned the Agatha-nominated and award-winning Mer Cavallo mysteries, Adrift and Beached, and her short stories and nonfiction have appeared in anthologies, textbooks, diving and mystery magazines. Micki’s novels draw on her twenty-two years of experience in law enforcement. An FBI National Academy graduate, she retired as a captain before turning to a life of crime…fiction. Visit http://mebrowning.com to learn more.

MERCY CREEK:

In an idyllic Colorado town, a young girl goes missing—and the trail leads into the heart and mind of a remorseless killer.

The late summer heat in Echo Valley, Colorado turns lush greenery into a tinder dry landscape. When a young girl mysteriously disappears, long buried grudges rekindle. Of the two Flores girls, Marisa was the one people pegged for trouble. Her younger sister, Lena, was the quiet daughter, dutiful and diligent—right until the moment she vanished.

Detective Jo Wyatt is convinced the eleven-year-old girl didn’t run away and that a more sinister reason lurks behind her disappearance. For Jo, the case is personal, reaching far back into her past. But as she mines Lena’s fractured family life, she unearths a cache of secrets and half-lies that paints a darker picture.

As the evidence mounts, so do the suspects, and when a witness steps forward with a shocking new revelation, Jo is forced to confront her doubts, and her worst fears. Now, it's just a matter of time before the truth is revealed—or the killer makes another deadly move.

There is something special about short stories. Every word matters. For authors, it can be challenging to develop characters in so few words, but for those who get it right, the effect is remarkable.

After 42 years as a successful attorney in the Acadiana area, Jim Lambert has turned his skills toward creating short stories. In his new, critically acclaimed collection of stories, "Sub Rosa and Other Stories" Lambert's stories explore pain and loss in the South. He has created quirky, often marginalized characters who contend with forces beyond their control or understanding — including racial terror, childhood traumas, family betrayals. Lambert's readers meet characters including a childhood friend of Lee Harvey Oswald, a young lawyer sent to investigate the murder of Black troops in the Jim Crow South — and a mental patient obsessed with the film Harold and Maude. In each story, Lambert reveals the humor and tragedy running through the lives of these unique human beings.
