In part 2 of our debut interview best-selling author/graphic novelist Kazu Kibuishi talks family, multi-generational responsibility, and the decisions that have made him the writer he is today.

Authors on the Air Host Pam Stack welcomes a panel of voracious book lovers to talk about audiobooks. 

Audio book narrator Kevin Pierce joins this panels including Tori Eldridge, author, Peter Rozovsky, writer and photographer, Natasha Bajema, author, Penni Jones, author. 

Audiobooks are fun. They are perfect driver companions. They make every long trip much shorter – and much more entertaining. They let you enjoy the story together with other members of your family or friends.

Most importantly, audiobooks allow you to follow the plot when you wouldn’t be able to read. For instance, if you are cooking dinner or jogging in the morning. Or if you are on a long trip – and you are a driver.

Narrator’s voice helps better imagine characters, interactions, and places in the book. The voice can create an addictive and memorable mood – something you would love to come back to over and over again.

"Whether it's working at his cousin's funeral home or tossing around the local riff raff at his favorite bar, Nathan Waymaker is a man who knows how to handle the bodies. A former Marine and Sheriff's deputy, Nathan has built a reputation in his small Southern town as a man who can help when all other avenues have been exhausted. When a local minister with grandiose ambitions is found dead, Nathan is approached by his parishioners who feel the local police are dragging their feet with the investigation. What starts out as an easy payday soon descends into a maze of mayhem filled with wannabe gangsters, vicious crime lords, porn stars, crooked police officers and a particularly treacherous preacher and his mysterious wife. Nathan must use all his varied skills and some of his wit to navigate the murky waters of small town corruption even as dark secrets of his own threaten to come to the surface."

Authors on on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes author Barbara Stark-Nemon to the show.

About Barbara:  Everywhere, there were stories. I've come to appreciate the way different languages impact the form of narrator.Every story needs a narrator, and I  stepped up early in life. I learned storytelling, and a fascination with the magic of language from my grandfather. He wove unforgettable tales of a former life in Germany to his family in America. I spent most of my childhood with my nose in a book, or flying around the neighborhood on my bicycle, and learned to speak the languages of my German family, and later, the signs of the deaf children with whom I worked.

About HARD CIDER: Abbie Rose Stone’s acquired wisdom runs deep, and so do her scars. She has successfully navigated the shoals of a long marriage, infertility, challenging children, and a career. Now it’s her turn to realize her dream: producing hard apple cider along the northern shores of Lake Michigan that she loves. She manages to resist new versions of the old pull of family dynamics that threaten to derail her plan—but nothing can protect her from the shock a lovely young stranger delivers when she exposes a long-held secret. In the wake of this revelation, Abbie must overcome circumstances that severely test her self-determination, her loyalties, and her understanding of what constitutes true family.
