Reader's Entertainment Radio

Veronica Scott grew up in a house with a library as its heart. Dad loved science fiction, Mom loved ancient history and Veronica thought there needed to be more romance in everything. When she ran out of books to read, she started writing her own stories.

Seven time winner of the SFR Galaxy Award, as well as a National Excellence in Romance Fiction Award, Veronica is also the proud recipient of a NASA Exceptional Service Medal relating to her former day job, not her romances!

 She read the part of Star Trek Crew Member in the audiobook production of Harlan Ellison’s “The City On the Edge of Forever.”

Stacey Peterson hadn't planned to become an author, but then again, she hadn't planned to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer 1a at the age of 28, while in her second trimester with her daughter.

After having an initial surgery to remove the fast growing tumor, she had her daughter a few weeks early and then started chemotherapy. That was 11 years ago and Stacey has shared her cancer journey not only with fellow survivors, but penned a book for kids to understand what's going on for the cancer patient.

Her goal was to help turn a nightmare into a chance to serve the Lord and give back.

Her two books help patients, caregivers, and children make sense of a difficult time. 

You can find Stacey at her website and on Facebook.

Suanne Schafer, born in West Texas at the height of the Cold War, finds it ironic that grade school drills for tornadoes & nuclear war were the same: hide beneath your desk & kiss your rear-end goodbye. Now a retired family-practice physician whose only child has fledged the nest, her pioneer ancestors & world travels fuel her imagination.

She completed the Stanford University Creative Writing program certification. Her short works have been featured in print and on-line magazines (Bête Noire; Brain, Child; Empty Sink Publishing; and Three Line Poetry) and anthologies.

Her debut women’s fiction novel, A Different Kind of Fire, explores the life of Ruby Schmidt, a nineteenth century artist who escapes—and returns—to West Texas.

Her next book, Hunting the Devil, explores the heartbreak & healing of an American physician caught up in the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

She is a frequent public speaker and is passionate about helping others live great stories.
