Host Terri Lynn Coop serves up author Danny Gardner on The Blue Plate Special Podcast

“Gardner’s hard-bitten crime drama is candid, unflinching, and full of gallows humor. As Elliot says, “You avoid surprises by being the surprise,” and Gardner’s hero is just that—a bright new entry in the genre, ready to take on the world in word and deed. Debts owed, lines drawn, claims made, Elliot settles up and finds a way to live the life he can’t outrun.” ForeWord Reviews

Skid Row Chatter host Tom Pitts welcomes Jordan Harper to the studio.  

Jordan Harper's  first novel, She Rides Shotgun, has been published by Ecco and reviewers are predicting nominations and awards for the author. The book tells the tale of Polly McClusky, a California pre-teen whose father has just been released from prison. Both of them are being pursued by a merciless gang of white supremacists because her father Nate didn’t play along with them while incarcerated..  I was born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, Queen City of the Ozarks. Crime has been a passion of mine since I was a little kid. My family on my mother’s side has been involved in law enforcement for a long time. My grandfather was an old Ozarks badass who was a prison guard and made knives in his spare time and slept with a gun under his pillow. She Rides Shotgun is dedicated in his memory.   She Rides Shotgun wraps a very human story about a daughter and her father in a candy-coated shell of prison gangs, drug deals, skinhead tattoo numerology, bent cops, shankings, meth, cartel dope mules. It’s an ode to familial love and armed robbery. It draws from a mini-genre of crime, the criminal and child on the run, for fans of The Professional, Paper Moon or Lone Wolf and Cub. It’s paced like a shotgun blast.

Authors on the Air guest host Terri Lynn Coop welcomes mystery writer Nancy Cole Silverman. 

Early raves for ROOM FOR DOUBT, book 4 in the Carol Childs Mystery series by Nancy Cole Silverman releasing on July 18, 2017 from Henery Press:  “Grips a reader from the first page, offering an addictive mix of wit and suspense. Silverman is a master at crafting ripped-from-the-headlines storylines that feature a smart, appealing protagonist. Room for Doubt leaves no doubt this is one of the strongest contemporary mystery series out there.” – Ellen Byron, Award-Winning Author of Body on the Bayou.

Nancy Cole Silverman credits the fact both she and Edgar Allen Poe share the same birthday, along with her twenty-five years in talk radio, for helping her to develop an ear for storytelling. After writing everything from commercial copy to news Silverman retired from radio in 2001 to write fiction. Today, Silverman has written numerous short stories and novelettes some of which have been produced as audio books. Silverman's new series, the Carol Childs Mysteries takes place inside a busy Los Angles radio station. Silverman lives in Los Angeles with her husband, four adult children, and thoroughly pampered standard poodle.
