Fiona Quinn is a five-time USA Today bestselling author, a Kindle Scout winner, and has been listed as an Amazon Top 100 author in multiple categories. For those adamant adherents to the adage of writing what you know, it seems that Fiona knows about nearly everything. She has four college degrees, instructs Reiki and archery, and is qualified as a Second-Degree Tae Kwon Do Black Belt. Fiona’s also involved in the search-and-rescue community, has restored a shotgun house built in 1887, and successfully trained a medical alert service dog. Fiona’s also advocated for those impacted by suicide and homicide in the court system.

Six of her eight current series take place in the same Iniquuis universe and include the Lynx, Strike Force, Uncommon Enemies, Kate Hamilton Mysteries, and FBI Joint Task Force Series.

In this episode, Fiona and host Gavin Reese discuss balancing authenticity and reader experience, the magic of crossovers, why her writing studio looks like it belongs to a conspiracy theorist.

Author Ian Malone Takes Readers On a Science Fiction Outer Space Thrill Ride in “Detron City Vice,” a Place of Temptation Where People Go Missing

In today’s episode, we visit with Ian Malone, author of “Detron City Vice,” a science fiction thriller among his collection of “character charged Sci-Fi with a shot of Rock & Roll!”

The age of human division should’ve ended five years ago when the decades-old war between the Auran Alliance and the Alystierian Empire drew to a close. Turns out, things change. And nowhere is this more evident than in the bustling streets of Detron City, a place where thrills are chased by thousands, deals are made to impact millions, and where temptations lie in wait beneath the neon glow and lavish excesses of the city’s nightlife for anyone seeking an escape.

It’s also a place where people vanish.

Protagonist Danny Tucker is a retired Auran staff sergeant and an ex-cop from Miami living in Detron City. He just got a call. A friend’s son has gone missing.

Author George Arnold Brings Courage, Danger and Romance With His Western “Wyandotte Bound” on Charlotte Readers Podcast

In today’s episode, we visit with George Arnold, author of the novel, “Wyandotte Bound” and the Christmas Short Story “One Minute Past Christmas.”

Bound, like many other strong words, finds its meaning in the perceptions of those it affects. To the Van Sheltons, it is positive and deep-rooted, defining their ties to a vast amount of land abundant in the timber, cattle, and silver that make them the wealthiest and the most powerful family in the town of Wyandotte and influential throughout the state of Nevada.

To J.D. Rohr, who has no money and few prospects, bound is a hopeful force, driving him to Wyandotte, where he assumes the identity of Jesse Bodine in a desperate attempt to live in obscurity, hiding from his reputation as one of the West’s most feared gunfighters.

We start the show with a reading from the opening chapter of the book, where a young man desires to prove his worth with his gun against J.D. Rohr, who wants no part of it but has little way out but to face the man. And before we’re through with the episode, we’re going to find out more about “One Minute Past Christmas.”

Co-authors Jerry, Ryan and Sam McGee Deliver Laughs, Tears and More in “Sidelines & Bloodlines: A Father, His Sons and Our Life in College Football”

In today’s episode, we visit with Jerry McGee, Ryan McGee and Sam McGee, co-authors of “Sidelines & Bloodlines: A Father, His Sons and Our Life in College Football” (Triumph Books).

For ESPN’s Ryan McGee and attorney Sam McGee, football is a lifelong passion formed from growing up as the sons of Dr. Jerry McGee, a man who wore stripes for decades as one of the most highly-decorated officials in college football history. In Sidelines and Bloodlines, Ryan and Sam team up with their father Jerry to share lessons learned between the white lines, featuring a cast of characters that runs from no-name small college athletes and coaches to one-name legends such as Holtz, Paterno, Tebow, and Bo.

The McGees provide a rare and often hilarious glimpse inside the lives of college officials, detailing how a love for the game convinces accomplished professionals from all walks of life to voluntarily endure ceaseless insults, public criticism, and the expressed goal of doing one’s job on a very public stage in a way that will hopefully NOT draw any attention to how that job is done.

From stories of brawling high school referees and making awkward small talk with George Lucas and Darth Vader at the Rose Bowl to the heart-tugging story of young sons in the stands on a Saturday as a stream of profanity-laden insults directed at their father drowns out the marching band, “Sidelines and Bloodlines” delivers laughs, tears, and a deeper understanding of a life in stripes.

Author and Lifelong Minister Leighton Ford Discerns God’s in “A Life of Listening” [Ep 169][Under the Covers]

In today’s episode, we visit with Leighton Ford, author of “A Life of Listening: Discerning God’s Voice And Discovering Our Own.”

In this memoir, lifelong minister of the gospel Leighton Ford tells his story as a personal history of listening for God’s voice. Beginning with his earliest memories, he recounts the different ways God has spoken to him, and the different ways he has learned to listen.

Through the joys of ministry, first as an international evangelist, often in partnership with Billy Graham, and later as a leader of the Lausanne Movement and a mentor of emerging leaders, Leighton remembers God's voice proclaiming, instructing, reassuring. Through the pain of deep loss, he remembers God's voice calling out to him, even in the deafening silence.

What emerges is not just an account of a long and faithful life of Christian service, but a picture of the Christian life—the life of listening. What will it sound like, Ford asks, when God speaks to you?
