Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes award-winning Southern fiction writer Bette Lee Crosby.

“Storytelling is in my blood,” Crosby laughingly admits, “My mom was not a writer, but she was a captivating storyteller, so I find myself using bits and pieces of her voice in most everything I write.”

It is the wit and wisdom of that Southern Mama Crosby brings to her works of fiction; the result is a delightful blend of humor, mystery and romance along with a cast of quirky charters who will steal your heart away. Her work was first recognized in 2006 when she received The National League of American Pen Women Award for a then unpublished manuscript. She has since gone on to win nineteen awards for her work; these include: The Royal Palm Literary Award, the FPA President’s Book Award Gold Medal, Reader’s Favorite Award Gold Medal, and the Reviewer’s Choice Award.

Authors on the Air Host Pam Stack welcomes BOB BRODY to the studio.  Bob Brody is a media strategist and editorial specialist with Powell Tate, a division of Weber Shandwick. He is the author of the upcoming memoir, Playing Catch with Strangers: A Family Guy (Reluctantly) Comes Of Age. From Bob:    I confess: I’ve never cheated on my wife, abused drugs, run with a gang, attempted suicide or killed anyone.    But that’s okay. I’ve written a memoir anyway.

Playing Catch with Strangers: A Family Guy (Reluctantly) Comes of Age – out from Heliotrope Books on June 18 (Father’s Day) – celebrates my occasional successes, laments my frequent failures, and chronicles my ongoing struggle to attain something approximating adulthood.   Dan Rather, former CBS anchor, calls the book “a gem . . . filled with insights, wit, pithy observations, common sense and neighborly decency.”  Playing Catch with Strangers is about my often tormented, doubly disabled mother; my gentle-hearted, distant, workaholic father; my doting but domineering maternal grandmother; my heroically generous-spirited mother-in-law; my ever-forbearing wife; my much-blessed son and daughter; and my friends through thick and thin.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes best-selling author Tim Hallinan to the studio to discuss his new book PULPED.  Here is a little about the book:  

Simeon Grist has been out of print for 20 years.              And he’s pissed off.

It’s been 20 years since I wrote my last book about the quirky Topanga Canyon slacker/private eye, and, like its predecessors, it didn’t sell. Ultimately, the last unsold copy in the series was pulped to make newsprint, and that was when Simeon’s new life began.

On his own. Aware for the first time that he’s fictional, that the adventures he remembers so vividly were written by somebody else, so he can’t even take credit for them. It’s enough to make a detective spend serious time with his gun.

And now—down here—someone is killing his few remaining murders.      Oh, and there’s this girl.
