Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes debut romantic comedy writer MINNIE DARKE to the studio. About Minnie: Minnie Darke - Gemini with Virgo rising, Scrabble cutthroat and knitter, lover of books, freshly sharpened pencils and Russian Caravan tea - wrote Star-crossed to amuse herself and to entertain you. She lives with her family in Tasmania.

ABOUT STAR-CROSSED: When childhood sweethearts Justine (Sagittarius and serious skeptic) and Nick (Aquarius and true believer) bump into each other as adults, a life-changing love affair seems inevitable. To Justine, anyway. Especially when she learns Nick is an astrological devotee, whose decisions are guided by the stars, and more specifically, by the horoscopes in his favorite magazine. The same magazine Justine happens to write for. As Nick continues to not fall headlong in love with her, Justine decides to take Nick’s horoscope, and Fate itself, into her own hands. But, of course, Nick is not the only Aquarius making important life choices according to what is written in the stars.

Charting the ripple effects of Justine’s astrological meddling, Star-Crossed is a delicious, intelligent, and affecting love story about friendship, chance, and how we all navigate the kinds of choices that are hard to face alone.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes back thriller and suspense author Allan Leverone after a long absence from the studio. Allan's new book is THE SOVIET ASSASSIN, the 7th entry in the Tracie Tanner series. If you're a fan of Brad Thor or Vince Flynn, you're going to love this new hero. It's spring, 1988, and Tracie Tanner is about to discover that the life-and-death choices she makes while operating clandestinely may have devastating consequences that reach far beyond anything she can imagine.

Last winter, while on a mission to root out and eliminate the driving force behind a Soviet program targeting American operatives for death via poisoning, she captured and tortured a KGB operative in order to extract the intelligence needed to complete her mission. In a fateful decision, Tracie spared the Soviet operative's life. Now that man has returned, vowing to extract the ultimate vengeance on the woman who humiliated him and left his career in a shambles. But killing Tracie Tanner will not be enough. He is determined to make her suffer first. And someone close to Tracie will die.

ABOUT ALLAN: Allan Leverone is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of twenty-one novels, and a former winner of the prestigious Derringer Award for excellence in short mystery fiction. His chilling novel, MR. MIDNIGHT, was included in Suspense Magazine's "Best Books of 2013" issue.
