Crime and Wine: Novelist Chats with Pamela Fagan Hutchins

Join Catherine Bybee and Pamela Fagan Hutchins for a fun chat about Catherine's new "21 Jump Street meets Charlie's Angels" book, CHANGING THE RULES, as they discuss everything from getting to go back to high school and smart off to that annoying home room teacher as a grown woman, to writing across genres, what they're wearing for this early morning interview (oh my), and saying yes to yourself instead of letting others say no for you.   

New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bybee has written twenty-eight books that have collectively sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into more than a 30 languages. Raised in Washington State, Bybee moved to Southern California in the hope of becoming a movie star. After growing bored with waiting tables, she returned to school and became a registered nurse, spending most of her career in urban emergency rooms. She now writes full time and has penned the Not Quite series, the Weekday Brides series, the Most Likely To series, the First Wives series, and her new Richter Series.

Join me for this fun chat (with a few tears!) with Mary Helen Sheriff, Author about her poignant debut novel.

Mary Helen Sheriff is the author of Boop and Eve's Road Trip, which won the American Fiction Award for Coming-of-Age books in 2020. She's a former teacher, mother of two middle-schoolers, and an avid traveller. Mary lives just outside of Richmond, VA.

Eve Prince is done—with college, with her mom, with guys, and with her dream of fashion design. But when her best friend goes MIA, Eve must gather together the broken threads of her life in order to search for her.

When Eve’s grandmother, Boop, a retiree dripping with Southern charm, finds out about the trip, she—desperate to see her sister, and also hoping to alleviate Eve’s growing depression—hijacks her granddaughter’s road trip. Boop knows from experience that healing Eve will require more than flirting lessons and a Garlic Festival makeover. Nevertheless, Boop is frustrated when her feeble efforts yield the same failure that her sulfur-laced sip from the Fountain of Youth wrought on her age. She knows that sharing the secret that’s haunted her for sixty years might be the one thing that will lessen Eve’s growing depression—but she also fears that if she reveals it, she’ll lose her family and her own hard-won happiness.

Boop and Eve’s journey through the heart of Dixie is an unforgettable love story between a grandmother and her granddaughter.

So you think you know the history of women in the West?

Think again.

Join Pamela Fagan Hutchins and Wendy Voorsanger as they discuss Wendy's Prospects of a Woman, the history of women in the west, and much more, on Wine Women & Writing.

Elisabeth Parker comes to California from Massachusetts in 1849 with her new husband, Nate, to reunite with her father, who’s struck gold on the American River. But she soon realizes her husband is not the man she thought―and neither is her father, who abandons them shortly after they arrive. As Nate struggles with his sexuality, Elisabeth is forced to confront her preconceived notions of family, love, and opportunity. She finds comfort in corresponding with her childhood friend back home, writer Louisa May Alcott, and spending time in the company of a mysterious California. Armed with Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self-Reliance, she sets out to determine her role in building the West, even as she comes to terms with the sacrifices she must make to achieve independence and happiness. A gripping and illuminating window into life in the Old West, Prospects of a Woman is the story of one woman’s passionate quest to carve out a place for herself in the liberal and bewildering society that emerged during the California gold rush frenzy.

Join Pamela Fagan Hutchins and Diana Giovinazzo as they discuss the story of Anita Garibaldi, THE WOMAN IN RED, and kickass women in history. 

Forced to marry a man she does not love, Anita feels trapped in a life she does not want. But when she meets the leader of the Brazilian resistance, Giuseppe Garibaldi, in 1839, everything changes. Swept into a passionate affair with the idolized mercenary, Anita’s life is suddenly consumed by the plight to liberate Southern Brazil—a struggle that would cost thousands of lives and span almost ten bloody years. Little did she know that this first taste of revolution would lead her to cross oceans, traverse continents, and become a heroine of two worlds.
