My guest today was born in Iowa, where he completed elementary school before his family moved to Phoenix, AZ, where he lived until he completed his degree in Engineering from Arizona State University. A fascinating fact to me because engineering and dancing don’t seem to go hand in hand, but in college he was a member of a performing Israeli dance team. 

After college, he moved to San Diego, CA, where he worked as a software engineer and raised a family. Now retired, he volunteers with the local police department to visit shut-ins, leads a bible study fellowship, and writes fiction. 

He’s a life-long learner like most of our Authors Over 50 because he was in his forties when he learned to play the guitar and in his fifties when he became a Private Pilot.

My guest today is the author of Christmas Stories:  7 Original Short Stories.  He had his first children's picture book, Me and My Shadow,  released in May of 2021.  And, he has two books coming in 2022 "The Book of Souls", a mystical ghost story and its sequel "The Book of Demons" (think Harry Potter meets the Exorcist).  The Book of Souls is Moore's first full length novel.  He considers this a "self-help book - based on a true event which just happens to be a paranormal thriller."   Could that description be any more intriguing? He had his play "Conversations From The Sports Arena" performed at the HBO Theater in Hollywood. Welcome to Authors Over 50, Kevin Moore.

My guest today grew up in Texas and calls Texas home after a 12-year stint living and teaching in the Pacific Northwest. She has an undergraduate degree in journalism from the University of Texas at Austin and a graduate degree in English and a teaching certificate from Texas A&M.   

She was motivated to publish by a question in a Bible study – “Is there anything you have wanted to do for a long time and haven’t accomplished?” That could be the theme question for our listeners today.

My guest today is the author of her debut novel, Messenger, a finalist for the Feathered Quill 2022 Book Awards, and author/creator of the serial podcast MESSENGER: A NOVEL IN 16 EPISODES, which she launched in 2020. 

She earned an MA in English from The University of Virginia. Her short stories have appeared in many literary magazines and journals. In addition to fiction writing, Liz has spent her professional life writing and teaching. 

Her last teaching post was co-leading a memoir writing class at the city jail. We’ll definitely have to hear about that venture. She shares her current 1891 home, located in one of Richmond’s oldest neighborhoods, with her husband. Her second-floor writing desk overlooks the James River. Sounds idyllic.
