The Writer's Block

Last evening's festival with author Margaret Brownley and Western Musician, Almeda Bradshaw was a perfect example of what the Writer's Block is all about. Both women were super fun and quite informational. Almeda with her insights on women in music and Margaret with her writer's insight on women in the west and a woman's view of times of old. A great show, give a listen!

It's all about the creative process behind the songs of Utah based Mary Kaye Knapheus and stories of local storyteller Joe Herrington on tonight's show. Award winning singer/songwriter/performer Mary Kaye shares songs from her newest CD, "Ride A Wide Circle." Joe performs several of his original stories. The following week they performed together opening the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival with an evening of music, poetry, and storytelling.

Guest author Lynette Grace Powell joins host Bobbi for an engaging conversation about her book, "Keep Walking." Based on her life's journey, Lynette reveals how she had faith, lost faith, and then found faith again. Part memoir, part motivational "Keep Walking" is a thoughtful and inspiring read.

Thursday, Guest host Richard Paolinelli and I interviewed Oklahoma writer, Ruth Ramsey on The Writer's Block. Ruth is an outstanding example of a true writer for the people. She writes from her heart and from the souls of the folks of small town Oklahoma. We certainly hope she continues her path.

Thursday's show featured writer Amanda Matti and her new book, "A Foreign Affair" Amanda was an exemplary guest, bubbly, intelligent and very informative. Here is the link for the show... give a listen and you'll see what Russ and I found out last night, Amanda is amazing!

Bobbi's and my conversation with Jack Struble, author of "Major Violators" was a total hoot-fest. Jack is a wonderful guest and a great guy to talk to.

Tune in next week for another stimulating conversation with an exciting novelist, Amanda Matti, author of the spy thriller "Foreign Affair".

Bobbie's and my conversation with Dr. Reggie Padin last evening was fun, informative and a little different than what we are used to, but, suffice to say, he was fun, interesting and an extremely intelligent guest full of information and several ways to get out of our Dumpster Moments.

Bobby and my conversation last evening with Rosa Walston Latimer was not only fun, but highly informative as well. Who knew the Harvey Girls were so diverse, yet so alike during their hey-day...Rosa is most certainly invited to return to The Writer's Block when her new book comes out...

Russ and my interview last Thursday with writer Jodie Cain Smith was fascinating in that Jodie is a writer that encompasses what a writer strives to be. Direct, a good story teller and a continual student of her craft. Even though her interview was plagued by phone issues, (mostly the host) she came off great and was a total trooper during the entire interview. Give a listen.

Thursday, writer Philip Donaly repeated his performance with another visit to the Writer's Block. Phil's stories captivate and enthrall the readers, myself included. Listen to the podcast and find out why Phil is a favored guest.
