Author Lea Geller's life has some things in common with the main character in her new novel THE TRUTH AND OTHER HIDDEN THINGS. Both Lea and Bells are mothers. Both were trained as attorneys but maybe weren't overly excited about the profession. And both have experience blogging. Listen in to this fun conversation to find out where the line is drawn between the truth of the real-life author and the fictional character she's created.

Hailed by Booklist as “one of the most clever and original talents in contemporary horror,” Kealan Patrick Burke was born and raised in Ireland and emigrated to the United States a few weeks before 9/11. Since then, he has written five novels, among them the popular southern gothic slasher Kin, and over two hundred short stories and novellas, including Peekers, Blanky, Sour Candy, and The House on Abigail Lane, all of which are currently in development for film and TV.

A five-time Bram Stoker Award-nominee, Burke won the award in 2005 for his coming-of-age novella The Turtle Boy, the first book in the acclaimed Timmy Quinn series.

As editor, he helmed the anthologies Night Visions 12, Taverns of the Dead, and Quietly Now, a tribute anthology to one of Burke’s influences, the late Charles L. Grant.

Most recently, he adapted his work to comic book format for four volumes of John Carpenter’s Tales for a Halloween Night series of anthologies and contributed a short story to Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden’s Hellboy: An Assortment of Horrors. He recently completed a new novel, Mr. Stitch, and a graphic novel for Storm King Comics.

Kealan is represented by Merrilee Heifetz at Writers House and Kassie Evashevski at Anonymous Content.

He lives in an unhaunted house in Ohio with a Scooby Doo lookalike rescue named Red.

In today’s episode 211, we visit with Robert Fitzpatrick, author of “Ponzinomics: The Untold Story of Multi-Level Marketing,” an in-depth look at the history of multi-level marketing and how the lack of regulation has ruined many lives.

Hannah Martin, UK-based Consumer Activist and Educator and Co-Founder of Talented Ladies Club, says “Ponzinomics is essential reading for anyone who wants to truly understand the MLM industry – where it originated, why it’s not treated as illegal and how it works (or rather, why it doesn’t work for over 99% of participants).”

Authors, financial researchers, attorneys and policy advisors say the book is one of the most comprehensive looks at an industry that has made some people at the top of every pyramid very rick and many others who participate nothing more than financial losers. One reviewer calls the book “A cogent exposé of the pervasive and damaging presence of MLM in the American and, increasingly, world economy. A must read not only for those interested in the specific nature of MLM, but also for anyone who cares to understand what moves us and how we are governed.”

Atia Abawi, award winning foreign correspondent and author of “The Secret Sky” and “A Land of Permanent Goodbyes”, calls The Seclusion, “a terrifying glimpse into what could be at the end of the path America is on today. Castle does an amazing job transporting us in to the future—too great a job.”

On the latest episode of Now, Appalachia, Eliot interviews author and podcaster Anna Sale. Anna is the creator and host of Death, Sex & Money, the award-winning podcast from WNYC Studios, where she’s been doing interviews about “the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more” since 2014. Before that, she covered politics for public radio for years. She grew up in West Virginia and lives in the East Bay in California with her husband and two daughters.

I’m Nicki Chen, an author and blogger from Edmonds, Washington. I’m a small-town girl who met and married a Chinese immigrant, an engineer who found his first full-time job in my hometown. It was his tales about his early childhood in China that were the inspiration for my first novel: Tiger Tail Soup.

My second novel, When in Vanuatu, was influenced by the time we spent abroad. Our expatriate years began when Eugene took a job with the Asian Development Bank. At the time, our third daughter was just three-weeks old. As an expat, I served on the Manila International School Board and volunteered at the coop nursery school our daughters attended. I studied Chinese brush painting and batik painting, volunteered with the women’s club and the church, and made friends from all over the world. By the time we returned to the US, all three daughters had graduated from college.

My interest in writing fiction began gradually. I took a correspondence course from the Children’s Institute of Literature; I wrote in my journal; I tried my hand at writing short stories. Eventually I applied for a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing at Vermont College of Fine Arts. It was one of only a few low-residency courses at the time. But it was half a world away. We were living in the South Pacific by then, in Vanuatu. It was a very long commute, but twice a year I flew to Vermont and back. And I did graduate.

Beauty, especially in the natural environment, has always been important to me. I grew up in western Washington State surrounded by green fields with snowcapped mountains on two sides and a river rushing by on its way to Puget Sound. My family camped in the forest, hiked to waterfalls, and cruised among the San Juan Islands. And always my mom was there, pointing out the beauty and encouraging me to sketch it. Later I began to “sketch” with words, saving my experiences and the natural beauty I saw like flowers pressed between the pages of a book. When we lived in the Philippines and the South Pacific, I was equally inspired by the beaches, islands, turquoise water, flowers and trees there.

I’m back in Washington State now, in the lovely little seaside city of Edmonds. I’m happy to be living again between the familiar snow-capped mountains of the Northwest and beside the Salish Sea. When I’m not writing, I’m within easy reach of a hilly walk or a ferry ride to the Olympic Peninsula. My husband passed away, but my sister, one daughter, and two of my grown grandchildren live nearby. My other daughters and their families live on the other side of the country, giving us all a good excuse for travel.

Gene Hoots Tells the Story of North Carolina’s Gold Leaf in “Going Down Tobacco Road”

In this episode 208, we visit with Gene Hoots, author of “Going Down Tobacco Road: R.J. Reynolds’ Tobacco Empire: The Gold Leaf and North Carolina.” Using his twenty¬–one years of experience working for the tobacco empire, financial analyst Gene Hoots details the rise and fall of R.J. Reynolds.

Along with this history are universal business lessons. Tobacco is a controversial product, but the industry that created it is one of the most successful industries in America.

Critics said the book “tells a huge American story that needed telling,” and that it “achieves this rare balance between combining a huge but purely business/industry story with its deep human and cultural implications, giving texture, drama, and empathy to the reader.”

In this episode, guest host and award-winning author Heather Bell Adams interviews Ron Rash, aptly called by The New York Times “one of the great American authors at work today.” His latest book is “In The Valley, ” named a Garden & Gun and Atlanta Journal Constitution best book of the year and Winner of the 2020 Thomas Robinson Prize for Southern Literature.

“In the Valley” is a collection of ten searing stories and the return of the villainess who propelled Serena to national acclaim, in a long-awaited novella. The story “Baptism” was chosen for inclusion in The Best American Short Stories 2018, and “Neighbors” was selected by Jonathan Lethem for The Best American Mystery Stories 2019.

Ron Rash has long been a revered presence in the landscape of American letters. A virtuosic novelist, poet, and story writer, he evokes the beauty and brutality of the land, the relentless tension between past and present, and the unquenchable human desire to be a little bit better than circumstances would seem to allow (to paraphrase Faulkner).
