The Writer's Block

Writer Rebecca Copeland offers her readers a refreshing insight in being a Caucasian Woman in Japan, in her novel, The Kimono Tattoo. Along with being hunted by a killer, she offers us insights into the culture and the attitudes of both the men and women of Japan.

Writer Victor Hess does a fine job of putting us in the middle of the 1950s in this whimsical tale of boyhood and early adolescence, The Clock Tower Treasure. Set in Ohio, Victor's novel treats us to the realities of being 11 years old in the 50s and the trials of being the same.

Our conversation with writer, V.S. Holmes last Thursday was an interesting study on one persons love of Sci-Fi and exceptional story telling. Give a listen right here!

When Wayne Avrashow comes on the show it is almost a guarantee it will be informative, interesting and educational. This tie was no different. Both Richard and I learned about his writing style, his passion,, politics and so much more. Give a listen right here!

Richard and my interview with writer L. Annette Binder was a surprise. Not only was she a great guest but totally surprised us with her wit, charm and utter graciousness when it came to opening up about her family (on which her book, The Vanishing Sky is based). Give a listen right here!

Our interviews with Mary-Kaye and Gary Holt last evening on our 6th anniversary show were informational, interesting, fun, titillating, educational and interpersonal. Mary-Kaye has got a voice for the angels and a range to rival any other singer and Gary, not to be forgotten, is a wonderful radio host and I'm sure a damn fine husband to boot! Give a listen right here!

Our show with writer Kerry Peresta was full of hints, facts, factoids and information about her beautifully written novel, The Deadening. Just when you think you have this story figured out, Kerry throws another curve at you. Give a listen right here!

Last Thursday Richard Paolinelli subbed for Bobbi Jean when we guested writer Jennifer Anne Gordon on The Writer's Block. Jennifer not only is a terrific story teller but a great guest and conversationalist as well. Her novel, Beautiful, Frightening and Silent is a masterpiece in horror writing and should reside right up there with Rosemary's Baby, Ghost Story and Dracula. Give a listen right here!

Our conversation with writer/producer, Clare Nolan was, if nothing else, packed with emotion, memories and a sense of belonging again a lot of us haven't felt in years. Take Me Home Huey is a living testament to the forgotten men and women that fought in Vietnam. Give a listen right here.

Last Thursday's show went how the show is supposed to go. Lively, fun and informative with our guest, writer and podcast host Dom Brightmon. An informed and quite intelligent gentleman, Dom is, unquestionably, one of the finest hosts around and we were honored to have him on the show with us. Give a listen right here!
