In this podcast, I mentioned some of my research about Victorian lady travelers for my current WIP. 

Book news covered a new ebook subscription service and the latest PR stunt, exploding books (!). 

The book of the podcast was the unusual and incredibly popular book, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley. 

Check out this podcast for background on how Bradley came to write the book, the quirky cast of characters, and thoughts on its humor and nearly universal appeal.

In the the fourth episode of MBP, I talked a bit about my current WIP (work in progress), Devious, and how I’ve drunk the Kool-Aid and become a Scrivener convert. 

Book news hit on the drop in nook sales as well as the rosier outlook at iTunes.

This week’s podcast went back to the golden age of mystery fiction with a look at Murder at the Vicarage, the first Miss Marple novel. Apologies for the breathiness. I’m working with my equipment and learning as I go as I podcast, so sound quality should improve. :)

MBP Episode #3 opened with a quick description of my whirlwind research trip to Edinburgh and a brief look at the news coming out of the Digital Book World conference (more on subscription services) as well as how Big Brother is watching you when you use your ereader.

This week’s podcast introduced a new author, Ashley Weaver, and her debut novel, Murder at the Brightwell, a 1930s mystery set at a posh seaside resort. If you’re a fan of Downton Abby or Agatha Christie’s Tommy and Tuppence novels, this book will appeal to you.  

This was a fun podcast ranging over innovative ways authors are communicating with readers (Twitter notifications) and predictions for 2015 as well as an overview of the M.C. Beaton book, Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death. Check it out to find out what Agatha Raisin, Sherlock Holmes, and The Big Bang Theory have in common. 

In the first episode of the MBP, I gave a quick background on me and my books, hit on some of the news of the day (ereaders are bad before bedtime and the booming growth in YA books) then I gave some interesting facts about Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express.

Check out this podcast out for background on the Orient Express train route, the origins of the book, and info on how Christie’s own journeys on the Orient Express inspired the book.
