Bringing Life To Characters

I will be interviewing Best-Selling Mystery Crime author Mike Faricy. Faricy's tightly woven Dev Haskell series is penned with a delightful sense of humor and even some romance. His Jack Dillon Dublin Tales series features US Marshal Jack Dillon who is sent to Dublin and decides to stay. The Hotshot series consists of zany, delightfully entertaining standalone crime tales. The Corridor Man series is a bit more gritty and a lot more violent.

My guest will be award-winning mystery and thriller author Carmen Amato, best known for the Detective Emilia Cruz police series set in Acapulco. The series draws on her 30 years with the Central Intelligence Agency and knowledge of the war on drugs.

My guest will be Nancy S. Thompson, an award-winning author of three published thrillers - The Mistaken, Leverage, and Stirred. Her two conspiracy thrillers - Against Orders was recently released. And Proximity to Power - is coming soon. Nancy lives with her husband in Seattle, where she owns and runs her own interior and architectural design business. She’s also a freelance editor, paints abstracts, and loves to play piano.

My guest is Jodi Bowersox, an award-winning author and artist with more than 25 books for children and adults. Her novels span genres from faith fiction to suspense to time travel to sci fi, with small town, big city, and interplanetary settings. Known for her twisty mysteries and page-turning action, even her faith fiction books are full of suspense. Her children's books, under the name J.B. Stockings, tackle issues like personal care, responsibility, diversity, unconditional love and just plain fun for children aged 0-10.

Join me as I interview award-winning author Leigh M. Hall. Leigh is a believer in fairytales, the kind that keep some people up at night. Leigh published her first novel, Girl Bully (a best-selling psychological thriller), in 2020. Since then, she has published many more intensely dark and captivating novels. Many of her books can be listened to through Audible and Apple books.

Bruce Robert Coffin is the award-winning author of the Detective Byron Mysteries, co-author of The Turner and Mosley Files along with bestselling author LynDee Walker, and author of the forthcoming Detective Justice Mysteries. A former detective sergeant with more than twenty-seven years in law enforcement, he supervised all homicide and violent crime investigations for Maine's largest city. Following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, Bruce spent four years investigating counter-terrorism cases for the FBI, earning the Director's Award, the highest award a non-agent can receive.

This week I'll be interviewing audiobook producer Phillip Polite to talk about the books he's produced, which includes two of my books.

On this episode, I'll chat with Jim Nesbitt, the author of four hard-boiled Texas crime thrillers that feature battered but dogged Dallas PI Ed Earl Burch. Nesbitt was a journalist for more than 30 years, serving as an editor and roving correspondent for newspapers and wire services in Alabama, Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Washington, D.C. He chased hurricanes, earthquakes, plane wrecks, presidential candidates, wildfires, rodeo cowboys, migrant field hands, neo-Nazis and nuns with an eye for the telling detail and an ear for the voice of the people who give life to a story.
