The Writer's Block

Thursday, Bobbi and I enjoyed writer JB Hogan on the Writer's Block. A great insight in his process, his stories, poems, prose and short stories. Jerry has been a friend of our Facebook page, The Writer's Block Radio Show. We hope you enjoy the podcast and don't forget to like us on Facebook, LA Talk Radio as well.

Thursday, Russ and I had writer Richard Paolinelli as a guest on The Writer's Block. Richard is a refreshing speaker and a knowledgeable writer of several genres.His book about the history of football in Turloc, California is filled with stories and anecdotes of football programs current and past. His fiction is descriptive and interesting. It certainly keeps the reader justified in finishing the book. In all, a great guest and an invitation to return whenever he wants to.

Thank you to our guests tonight, Al Bringas and Eric Heisner! We enjoyed a lively conversation about their book "West to Bravo," Western film, the writing process, the creative process, and the future of Western film. Eric and Al are certainly invited to come back for another hour of fun.

Thursday Bobbi and I had a wonderful conversation with Ken Dunn,, founder of the Readers Legacy and forum and on-line service dealing with authors and their works. A fascinating man, Ken is making it happen for thousands of authors and writers o all genres. We also spoke with Bob Brill of ANX 1070 radio about his books and the Cowboy Festival in Newhall's William S Hart Park in Old Town Newhall on April 23-24, 2016.

Tonight Bobbi and I had a very interesting show. First we had a word for departed friend, George Brownley, then the book extravaganza at USC this weekend, then author Douglas Sandler joined us for a half hour talking about his new book, Bad Memories. Then, we moved on to Henry Parke and his western blog, the Cowboy Festival April 23rd & 24th, and then very welcome surprise, author and friend, Dale Jackson called in to chat. A busy night on The Writer's Block.

Thursday, on The Writer's Block, Bobbi and I hosted writer Ed Protzel on our show. We spoke of his book, The Lies that Bind. Bobbi called in from Chicago and Ed was in Missouri so it was an interesting hour coordinating everyone, but we managed and the hour went by quickly. Ed's s pretty smart guy and his book ws pretty damn interesting. Check out the podcast to hear the show.

Thursday, Russ and I welcomed writer, wine aficionado, western historian, president of the WWA (Western Writers of America) and all around great gal, Sherry Monahan to the Writer's Block. For me, and I am sure Russ as well, it was an informative and interesting conversation about the Earp wives, brothels, dance halls, saloons and just generally the straining to get cosmopolitan in the 1800's. Sherry is a very informative writer and most certainly kept Russ and I captivated.

Thursday we welcomed South Carolina writer, Chuck Walsh to the Writer's Block. It was an informative and delightful evening with both Bobbi and me learning something. Chuck would be welcome back anytime to our studio.

Last Thursday we had a twofer. Both Ken LaSalle and Candace Wade were in studio with us and we had a ball. Candace loaned her unique spin on life and writing as did Ken and a fun time was had by all and, Ken LaSalle will be joining us again in October. Make sure you check that out as well.

Thursday, Bobbi and I had, in studio, writer, attorney and gadabout, Jack Martin. Jack is he author of several Civil War novels along with a new series featuring a great new character Harry Bierce an FBI agent with a past and a secret. Listen in, not only to Jack but to all the other great authors we have had the past year.
