Environmental Lawyer Oversees a Mining Dispute Turned Deadly in Joel Burcat’s “Amid Rage”

In this episode, we visit with Joel Burcat, author of “Amid Rage,” an environmental legal thriller and the second in the Mike Jacobs series.

Mike Jacobs is an environmental prosecutor with Pennsylvania’s environmental agency, DEP, and finds himself caught in the middle of a mine permit battle between a psychotic coal mine operator and cynical neighbors with an anti-mining agenda. With offers from both sides and political bosses, Mike must find the courage to do what is right.

Steve Berry, the New York Times #1 internationally bestselling author of the Cotton Malone series, had this to say about the book, “Joel Burcat’s writing is tight and clean…Gritty, tough, poignant. Amid Rage tells a good story in a way every thriller aficionado will appreciate. Well done.”

Mystery Hero Patrick Flint Investigates Plane Crash that leads to Mayhem in Pamela Fagan Hutchins’ newest, “Snaggletooth”

In this episode 222, we visit with Pamela Fagan Hutchins, author of “Snaggletooth,” the latest in the Patrick Flint mystery series, a spin-off from the What Doesn’t Kill You Saga.

While on a trail ride with his family, Patrick witnesses a plane crash in the Bighorn Mountains. Guided by his moral compass, Patrick embarks on a journey to find the downed plane and any survivors. What he finds is not what it seems, and he learns that not everyone is worth saving.

USA Today bestselling author Danielle Girard had this to say about the book, “Transports the reader deep into the mountains of Wyoming for a thriller that has it all--wild animals, criminals, and one family willing to do whatever is necessary to protect its own. Pamela Fagan Hutchins writes with the authority of a woman who knows this world. She weaves the story with both nail-biting suspense and a healthy dose of humor. You won't want to miss it.”

Jason Mott’s “Hell Of A Book” Is One Character’s Cross Country Book Tour Of Love and Loss

In this episode 223, guest hosted by writer, editor, and performer, Alice Osborn, we visit with New York Times bestselling author Jason Mott, author of “Hell Of A Book.”

In “Hell of a Book,” an African-American author sets out on a cross-country book tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives Jason Mott’s novel and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: since his novel also tells the story of Soot, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past, and The Kid, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour.

While the book is at once about family, love of parents and children, art, and money, there always is the tragic story of a police shooting playing over and over on the news. Who has been killed? Who is The Kid? Will the author finish his book tour, and what kind of world will he leave behind? Mott says he has been writing this book in his head for ten years.

Today's featured story is from Grace Sammon's novel The Eves. Grace describes The Eves as a multi-generational novel portraying lives lived well and lives in transition. It captures the conversations we wish we had had with our parents, if we had taken the opportunity, and the lessons we would want to impart to our children, if they were ready to listen. Told through the voice of the psychologically complex Jessica Barnet, this is her story. Listen to: why Grace struggled with her main character being called a liar, how Grace uses a nerdy explanation of Mitochrondrial DNA, and what Grace sees in those simple handprint paintings from childhood. Connect with Grace on social media and find her book through her website https://gracesammon.net/. Find a picture of Grace with a special handprint quilt her beta readers created for her on the Desideratum Podcast website. Thanks for listening.

Today's featured story was inspired by a teller of tall tales - a lover of stories. As we head into Father’s Day weekend, listen to Meghan Holloway talk about the ways her grandfather enriched her life and her writing. Meghan Holloway wrote a successful WWII Historical Fiction published by Polis Books called Once More Unto the Breach as well as a trilogy in the Thriller Crime genre with Hunting Ground released last year, and Hiding Place out this August. But, we are talking about something very different - a book she wrote that is set in the future. At its heart, it is a love story about what it means to be human and the ways we grapple with loneliness and loss. Today we are talking about The Library of Lost Souls.
