  • Milford House Mysteries - "Staying On Track—Writing During a Pandemic"
    A special Milford House Mysteries for authors. During this COVID-19 crisis, many of us have been quarantined at home. For some authors, it's been a great opportunity to buckle down and finish that short story or novel they've been working on. Others might be working their day jobs from home, helping their kids with schoolwork, or dealing with the illness for themselves or family. As a result, finding the time or will to write might be a struggle. Especially when you add the stress caused by the pandemic and the precautions we must take to protect ourselves. In this episode, co-hosts Sherry Knowlton and J.M. West offer some thoughts on how to deal with the challenge of writing in this new environment.Milford House Mysteries Co-hosts - Sherry Knowlton is the author of the Alexa Williams series of murder mysteries including Dead of Autumn, Dead of Summer, Dead of Spring and Dead of Winter Joan West (JM West) is the author of the Carlisle Crime Cases series including Dying for Vengeance, Courting Doubt and Darkness, Darkness at First Light, Had a Dying Fall, and Things Strangled.

    The storied career of Janiva Magness is ongoing. The award-winning singer has a string of blues and like-influenced recordings behind her. Now, Magness tells her life story in "Weeds Like Us."Not for the faint of heart, Magness pulls no punches about growing up in an abusive, dysfunctional family, marked by physical and sexual abuse, suicide and drug use. Magness spares no words of criticism, especially on herself as she tells of a wild, dissolute life, but one which turns to the thing that becomes her saving grace: music.Names, many names are familiar here--Magness sang, played and toured with legends in both the blues and rock worlds. Her own journey as a recording artist is detailed here, and Magness turns aside critics and her own personal demons in an empowering story.
