Hello My Happy People,

In the season one finale of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt, Dianne shares some of her favorite Christmas movies. She has always liked some of the traditionally popular ones, but her favorites have always been a bit more obscure. Afterward, Dianne reads a Christmas short story she wrote as a tie-in to her Into the West Saga Serial. 

Thanks to everyone for listening to this inaugural season of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt. It has been such a fun experience as we learned how to do a podcast and continually worked to do it better. Dianne plans to continue working on cleaning up some more technical issues during the holiday break so season two will sound even better. 

We wish you all the most joyous of holiday seasons no matter what it is you celebrate this time of year. May the New Year bring you nothing but peace, happiness, and success in your endeavors.

From everyone at Burckhardt Books.

Hello Happy People,

Today Dianne was scheduled to bring you and interview with bestselling romance author JM Wilson but a family emergency caused the WIlson to reschedule. We plan to bring her interview to you in season two. Watch our social media for updated on her appearance. In the meantime, you can check out her books on Amazon.

Dianne tried to find a last minute guest to bring to the show today, but with the holidays it just didn't work. However, she did get promises for a lot of great guests for season two.

Dianne thought with so many gift giving holidays happening right now, a buying guide for last minute shopping for the writer in your life might be helpful. There is just one more show left before we bring season one to a close. Be sure to join us next week for our season finale.

Happy Holidays,
Dianne

Hello Happy People,

Dianne is joined today by her friend, author Kira Hagen. Kira has published her first book, Strangeling, Children of the Broken Dawn book 1 and is receiving great reviews.  You can find her on Amazon (links below).

Kira shares her inspiration for this series and her plans for part two, which she is working on now. She blends folk lore and legends from many cultures and mixes them with scientific explanations to build a world that is both imaginative and entertaining.

Kira reads a bit from book one to give you a good example of her humor and the creativity she brings to her writing. If you love sci-fi, you do not want to miss this show. Listen now.

Enjoy,
 Dianne

Hello Happy People,

Dianne is on her way to the United Kingdom at the moment and is unable to broadcast her regular episode. She did pre-record an update about her preparations to leave the country which did not go as planned. Dang Murphy and his law! 

Then she segways into a rebroadcast of her very first episode, Who Am I? , as an introduction to her new listeners and a reintroduction to her loyal followers. A lot of things have changed since this episode. Mondays are no longer dedicated to movies. Now, the Monday blog is Manic Mondays and used to give news and updates. Fridays are still Friday Funnies, because we all need a good laugh to head into the weekend. 

Dianne hopes to have some great new guests before the end of season so so be sure to come back next week for more information.

Have a great week!
Dianne

Hello Happy People,

Today, Dianne shares news about the She Inspires Awards in Bolton, UK. She will be in the U.K. next week for this event and gives an update about next week's podcast episode.

Dianne talks about her books in progress and gives a brief sneak peek from Into the West: Family Ties, the seventh and final book in the Into the West Saga Serial Collection.

Spoiler Alert: If you have not read the sixth book in the Into the West Saga Serial, Into the West: Last Showdown, you will want to skip the sneak peek. It talks about the death of major characters and will be a major spoiler.
   
But for those who are all caught upon the saga, why not go listen now?

Enjoy,
Dianne
