The Writer's Block

Thursdays guests, Eric Heisner and Al Bringas, creator and illustrator of 'Return to Bravo', and 'Wings of the Pirate'. Check out the pod cast. Al and Eric always bring their own special brand of fun to the show and we welcome them whenever they are on.

The Writer's Block hosted writer and Poet Peter J. Streitz in studio. Peter is a prolific poet and a writer of extensively written novels. Think a novel of 500,000 words. A great speaker and fun guest, Peter shared stories of his poetry, his strange educational situation, and his rejections, also reading a hand written rejection letter. Peter is most certainly welcome to return to The Writer's Block and keep us apprised as to what's going on with him.

Russ and Bobbi had Carolyn Howard-Johnson as a guest on The Writer's Block. Carolyn is the author of the Frugal books for writers and they are a fascinating and quite informative series along with Carolyn which is also fascinating and quite informative. In fact, look for a "Frugal Minute" by Carolyn as an addition to The Writer's Block Show. Look for this feature to show up in September or October.

Bobbi and me had author and screenwriter Tina Field Howe on the show with us. Tina is an extremely generous writer and spends hours developing fantasies we can all buy into. Along with being a writer and screenwriter, Tina is also quite the illustrator and her books are full of her sketches and thoughts. Give a listen!

Bobbi and me hosted writer and all around good guy, Drake Vaughn to the Writer's Block. Drake is an /author or unique caliber as he takes things from the norm to the unknown in 25 pages or less. his books, are to most, thought provoking and full of, "This could really happen."

Thursday Russ and me welcomed writer David Vizard to the writer's Block. David is only on his second book, but what books they are. Full of fun, intrigue, and suspense. His story crafting is superb and his writing keeps the reader enthralled from first to last page. We thank him for joining us, and look forward for Dave to re-book for 2017!

The Writer's Block team was in studio and we discussed just about everything we could,, up too Bobbi rereading some of the old comments of writers and their experiences with writer's block. Henry Parke called in and informed us of his blog, henryswesternroundup.blogspot.com and what will be coming up in his world. Also,, Bobbi and I are booked on Sam Hasson's morning show on the 28th. Should be fun, the last time we were there we had a ball!

Gerry and I hosted writer Peggy Chambers. A wonderful writer and certainly one that keeps your attention with her page burner,"Secrets of Sandlot Island" Her process is different but very interesting and her style we all envied. She was in her grandparents old recliner...good on you, Peggy. Keep those books coming.

Thursday, Bobbi Jean and I hosted writer, Jeff McArthur on The Writer's Block. I was an interesting and fast paced hour that was over much too soon. If you haven't heard of or read Jeff's book, "Two Gun Hart", it's highly recommended if you have a historical interest in prohibition, the Capone family and the 1920's and 30's. Jeff is welcome back any time, and we hope he accepts our invitation. We also has a surprise call-in by author Eric Heisner, all in all, a great evening indeed.

Thursday, Russ and I hosted writer, author, nurse...and so much more, Serita Stevens to the Writer's Block. It was a gas. We had a great time and the information she put out was invaluable. Her book; "Against Her Will" is a must read for all ages over age 10. Pick it up!
