Join Sandra Brown in conversation with Pamela Fagan Hutchins on this episode of Wine Women & Writing as the two authors discuss Sandra's historical fiction release BLIND TIGER, 1920 as the mirror image of 2020, characters that hijack books, great female villains, and much more.

Other awards and commendations include the 2007 Texas Medal of Arts Award for Literature and the Romance Writers of America's Lifetime Achievement Award.

About BLIND TIGER:

With a “knack for romantic tension and page-turning suspense, this one is a winner.” The year 1920 comes in with a roar in this rousing and suspenseful New York Times bestselling novel by Sandra Brown. Prohibition is the new law of the land, but murder, mayhem, lust, and greed are already institutions in the Moonshine Capitol of Texas (Booklist, starred review).

Thatcher Hutton, a war-weary soldier on the way back to his cowboy life, jumps from a moving freight train to avoid trouble . . . and lands in more than he bargained for. On the day he arrives in Foley, Texas, a local woman goes missing. Thatcher, the only stranger in town, is suspected of her abduction, and worse. Standing between him and exoneration are a corrupt mayor, a crooked sheriff, a notorious cathouse madam, a sly bootlegger, feuding moonshiners . . . and a young widow whose soft features conceal an iron will.

What was supposed to be a fresh start for Laurel Plummer turns to tragedy. Left destitute but determined to dictate her own future, Laurel plunges into the lucrative regional industry, much to the dislike of the good ol’ boys, who have ruled supreme. Her success quickly makes her a target for cutthroat competitors, whose only code of law is reprisal. As violence erupts, Laurel and—now deputy—Thatcher find themselves on opposite sides of a moonshine war, where blood flows as freely as whiskey.

What happens when you meet Brooklyn's voodoo queen in New Orleans? Author Mandy Haynes will answer that question as we explore New Orleans voodoo traditions.

https://threedogswritepress.com/

Mandy Haynes has spent hours on barstools, at backstage venues, and riding in vans listening to tales from some of the best songwriters and storytellers in Nashville, Tennessee. She now lives in Fernandina Beach, Florida with her three dogs, a turtle, and a grateful liver. Walking the Wrong Way Home was a finalist for the 2017 Tartt Fiction Award and chosen as a bonus book for The 2019 Pulpwood Queen Book Club Reading List. Sharp as a Serpent's Tooth Eva and Other Stories was chosen as a bonus book for The 2020 Pulpwood Queen Book Club Reading List.

Mandy worked for twenty-six years for Vanderbilt University Medical Center before deciding to run away to Amelia Island. She started as a clerk, working in the mailroom and making thousand of copies of patients medical records - but worked her way up to finish the last sixteen years as a pediatric cardiac sonographer at Monroe Carroll Jr. Children's Hospital.

Some of her favorite memories include her time as a receptionist/administrative assistant in Addiction Psychiatry, break-room antics with her fellow refund clerks, and of course all of the families and children she met in cardiology.

Fans of Fannie Flagg, Flannery O'Conner, Wiley Cash, Rick Bragg, Harper Lee, and Harry Crews might enjoy her writing style. These stories are for readers who like to chase their stories with a shot of whiskey while burrowed under a hand stitched quilt.

Whenever I feel like COVID-19 has changed the world I used to know forever, I remember some of the best advice I ever received: Build with what you have.

Murder in “Blood in the Low Country”

In this episode 237, we visit with Paul Attaway, author of “Blood in the Low Country,” a thriller in which the idyllic life of one man is forever changed after a shocking and brutal murder.

Monty Atkins has a wonderful life, with his beautiful wife, successful business, and the Southern tranquility of living in 1970’s Charleston, South Carolina. With shocking betrayals, murder, bigotry, and a conspiracy of lies, Monty races to save everything that is important to him.

Jeff Andrews, author of “The Freedom Star” and “The Gandy Dancer” had this to say about the book, “Paul Attaway’s riveting debut novel introduces readers to the genteel South of the mid-twentieth century and then rips off that façade to reveal a treacherous underbelly of greed, deceit, violence, and bigotry. Attaway’s gripping tale unfolds through richly drawn characters that will engage readers and keep them enthralled through one suspenseful chapter after another. This is a story that will stay with you long after you close the final page.”

Nick Pirog is the bestselling author of the Thomas Prescott series, the 3:00 a.m. series, and The Speed of Souls. He lives in South Lake Tahoe with his two pups, Potter and Penny. We are discussing his new book JUNGLE UP and will discuss his completely unique series 3:00am (Henry Bins).

About JUNGLE UP: Two years ago, Dr. Gina Brady broke Thomas Prescott’s heart, but now her panic-stricken satellite phone call starts it beating again with a fury. Thugs kidnapped the good doctor from the remote jungle village where she was working, and now the retired homicide detective’s expert skills are desperately needed to save her. Led by a colorful, but perhaps untrustworthy local guide, Prescott journeys deep into the Bolivian Amazon, plunging into a world where the only thing more dangerous than the gun-toting drug traffickers and the ruthless tribesmen, is the jungle itself. When Gina’s trail leads to a chance encounter with an archaeological expedition, the search for the missing doctor takes on even deadlier consequences. But Prescott will not relent in this punishing quest until, once again, he holds Gina in his arms.
