Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone Uncovers Germany’s Dark Secrets in “The Kaiser’s Web”
In today’s episode, we visit with best-selling writer Steve Berry, author of “The Kaiser’s Web,” a Cotton Malone adventure in which a secret dossier from a World War II-era Soviet spy threatens to re-write history and forever alter the political landscape of Europe. With a national election looming, these secrets of the past will determine who becomes the next Chancellor—a dedicated patriot or a usurper, stoking the flames of nationalistic hate. Cotton Malone must discover the truth about the past to guarantee the future. John Land describes “The Kaisers Web as “his most ambitious yet, taking no prisoners in a nonstop roller coaster ride of thrills and spills, twists and turns, and shocks and surprises with nothing less than the very future at stake.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

Kristen Rademacher’s “From the Lakehouse” Is Love, Devastating Loss, and Resilience
In today’s episode, we visit with Kristen Rademacher, author of From the Lake House: A Mother’s Odyssey of Loss and Love, a memoir of resilience and hope in the face of a devastating loss. This achingly honest memoir explores issues of grief and identity as a woman gives up her dream of motherhood, and the idea of leaving an old life behind to forge something new. Poignant and perceptive, “From the Lake House” explores the echoes of rash decisions and ill-fated relationships, the barren and disorientating days an aching mother faces without her baby, and the mysterious healing that can take root while rebuilding a life gutted by loss. Carol Henderson, author of “Losing Malcolm: A Mother's Journey Through Loss and Farther Along: The Writing Journey of Thirteen Bereaved Mothers,” describes the book as a beautifully written and poignant memoir, where “we learn that though people and dreams die, relationships don't. If we're attuned, the dead can transform our lives, offering enduring love and guidance--and hope.” Kirkus Reviews calls it “a poignant and painful remembrance with comforting messages for the grieving.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

About the Book: FURBIDDEN FATALITY - Kari Stuart's life is going nowhere—until she unexpectedly wins the lottery. The twenty-nine-year-old instant multimillionaire is still mulling plans for her winnings when rescuing a bossy black kitten leads her to a semi-abandoned animal shelter. They need the cash—Kari needs a purpose. But the dilapidated rescue is literally going to the dogs with a pending lawsuit, hard to adopt animals, and too much unwanted attention from the town's dog warden. When the warden turns up dead outside the shelter's dog kennels, Kari finds herself up a creek without a pooper-scooper. With the help of some dedicated volunteers, a cute vet, and a kitten who mysteriously shows up just when she needs it, Kari must prove her innocence all while trying to save a dog on death row. Now she just needs to hope that her string of unexpected luck isn't about to run out. https://www.facebook.com/deborah.blake https://twitter.com/deborahblake

Episode #44: Setting As Character
PAST SHOWS: http://www.dplylemd.com/criminal-mischief.html SHOW NOTES: http://www.dplylemd.com/criminal-mischief-notes/44-setting-as-character.html Can a story be set just anywhere? Some can, but most rely on the location and time period to underpin and amplify the story. In the best stories, setting becomes an essential character. Can you imagine James Lee Burke’s iconic Dave Robicheaux being anywhere but Louisiana? What about Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder or Michael Connolly’s Harry Bosch? Could they exist anywhere other than Amish country or Los Angeles, respectively? Jaws had to be on an island, The Godfather in New York, The Shining in an isolated mountain hotel, and Star Wars the far reaches of space. Copyrighted

Aaron Gwyn’s “All God’s Children” Explores Enormous Liberty and Terrible Bondage
In this episode 184, guest hosted by award-winning writer Paul Kurzeja, we visit with award-winning author Aaron Gwyn, whose latest book is “All God’s Children,” an enthralling novel set on the frontier of Texas in the period before the Civil War. The New York Times says “Gwyn’s novel is a powerful depiction of the rough realities of frontier life, of the vicious influence of racism in a place where ‘men who didn’t dare look at you in daylight might burn you alive come sundown.’” Booklist says that “Readers will relish these unforgettable characters and this expansive view of Texas’ wild ride to joining the Union” and Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal, observes that “Gwyn has couched his meanings within a swift and skillful western, which allows them to unfold with devastating power. [ . . . ] The very people who founded the American West, this bracing novel suggests, were those most desperate to be independent from it.” Engage with the show here: https://linktr.ee/CharlotteReadersPodcast Detailed show notes here: https://charlottereaderspodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/charlottereaderspodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charlottereaderspodcast/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlottereader Charlotte Readers Podcast is a proud member of the Authors on the Air Global Radio Network and the Queen City Podcast Network. © Charlotte Readers Podcast and Authors on the Air Global Radio Network

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack presents film and television actress Reagan Pasternak
Authors on the Air host Pam Stack presents film and television actress Reagan Pasternak (HBO’s “Sharp Objects”, “Being Erica”) who has just released her first book, entitled Griffin’s Heart, Mourning Your Pet With No Apologies. Part memoir and part interactive guide, the book recounts the author’s personal experiences mourning a pet while leading the reader through healing exercises and providing space for journaling, sharing photos and memories, and more. “I started writing Griffin’s Heart after the death of my soulmate animal, Griffin, as a way to help heal my wound and find meaning in my grief. Through this process I began to understand that the crushing weight of my loss was not unique to me and that for millions of people whose pets are their family, there was a need for a compassionate and insightful resource,” said Pasternak. “The book is everything I wish I’d had after my Griffin died and it’s my hope that readers will find comfort, insight, companionship, and hope in the pages.” About Reagan J. Pasternak is a Canadian-born actress, singer, and writer. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and five rescue animals. Learn more about Reagan at reaganpasternak.com.

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes entrepreneur and author Martin Sawa
https://www.martinsawa.com/ Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes entrepreneur and author Martin Sawa, who discusses his life as a Ukranian immigrant to the United States at thirty with a wife and child, and dreams of a successful life promised to his parents. Navigating the skyscrapers of San Francisco and the gritty streets of Oakland, Sawa is on the verge of fast money and fame in a land of opportunity and fortune. But his world comes crashing down around him when he suffers a devastating personal loss, causing him to reevaluate the meaning of success. Over a period of three decades (1978-2012), Sawa takes the reader through a time of sweeping technological, social, and political change in California. While grappling with apex predators on nine-figure deals in San Francisco real estate, he rides the entrepreneurial roller coaster of prosperity and ruin. Scrambling between boardrooms and juke joints, between priests and psychics, he sets out to realize the deal of a lifetime. Sawa's book, The Other Side of Success: Money and Meaning in the Golden State is the unvarnished account of one man’s search for meaning as his professional life is constantly challenged by the impact of love, family, religion, and race. In this memoir, Sawa strives to find home in the truest sense, while struggling with the unforeseen costs of making it. @copyrighted
