His four sons, a Cleric, a Fighter, a Magic User and a Thief/businessman, all intend to destroy each other to rule the Palamaran Empire. Earl Thomas Medford, the Lord Chancellor, intends to win the impending civil war and marry his daughter off to the next Emperor. Which brother to choose because all four are greedy, selfish, despicable megalomaniacs?  Lady Christina Medford and Imperial Guard officer Nicholas Armand have fallen hopelessly in love despite their duties and responsibilities. If her father discovers or even suspects their romance then Tina, Nick and many of their friends might be quickly executed. Why take the risk? Love is insane and irresistible.  About the Author:  John Paul Ried grew up in Upper Montclair New Jersey and has recently relocated to Phoenix Arizona. He has taught both college level history and English classes at Essex County College and Illinois Central College. Mr. Ried also has taught Special Education classes in public schools in both Kentucky and Nevada. Along with teaching, Mr. Ried has an extensive fundraising background. Since 1978, Mr. Ried continually plays First Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and has brought to life his Campaign World for his readers to enjoy.

His four sons, a Cleric, a Fighter, a Magic User and a Thief/businessman, all intend to destroy each other to rule the Palamaran Empire. Earl Thomas Medford, the Lord Chancellor, intends to win the impending civil war and marry his daughter off to the next Emperor. Which brother to choose because all four are greedy, selfish, despicable megalomaniacs?  Lady Christina Medford and Imperial Guard officer Nicholas Armand have fallen hopelessly in love despite their duties and responsibilities. If her father discovers or even suspects their romance then Tina, Nick and many of their friends might be quickly executed. Why take the risk? Love is insane and irresistible.  About the Author:  John Paul Ried grew up in Upper Montclair New Jersey and has recently relocated to Phoenix Arizona. He has taught both college level history and English classes at Essex County College and Illinois Central College. Mr. Ried also has taught Special Education classes in public schools in both Kentucky and Nevada. Along with teaching, Mr. Ried has an extensive fundraising background.

After years of denial she finally admitted that she is a hopeless romantic which led her to write her first Young Adult book, “Unbreakable Love”.

He then served as bassist/vocalist of Tempe's Loud Americans, with the late Marco Holt. In 2005, he joined psychedelic pop band Skybox, relocating with them to Chicago. During this time he began to write and perform as a solo artist, embracing more traditional folk and country music in his songwriting, and testing his songs out at the El train stops in the Windy City. Gonzales later returned to Arizona and recorded his solo debut, The Lights Just Went Out..., which he produced with Aaron Ott. The 6-song EP earned him high praise, including Songwriter of the Year honors from YabYum Music &amp; Arts. A new record is currently in the works, with the single The Robin &amp; Birch Tree to precede the new record, sometime in 2015.  D.G. Scherrer is a singer-songwriter and award-winning poet from Phoenix, AZ. He began writing and singing songs when he was twelve years old, as the front man for a junior high school punk band. Since then he has become something of a songwriter's songwriter, crafting dark, catchy, lyrically sophisticated tunes in the tradition of Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt. Still, the bite and immediacy of punk remains apparent in his songs, as well as in the sheer volume of his voice when he roars a chorus. Scherrer draws heavily on older American music forms, particularly blues, gospel and country. ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2014/12/18/the-hay-girls-show-from-time-out-lounge</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Dec 2014 03:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523239/the_hay_girls_show_from_time_out_lounge.mp3" length="113769035" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Jeff Gonzales was raised in Phoenix's East Valley, writing songs for his first band The Dirt Bike Kids at 15.

She also teaches language arts to middle schoolers. She belongs to RWA national and the Desert Rose Chapter of RWA, where there are outstanding people writing fabulous stories.  She grew up in Philadelphia, home of the most amazing cheese steaks, soft pretzels, and the Liberty Bell. Arizona called to her spirit and tempted her husband with much better weather! They moved the family, and the rest is history, or the present, as the case may be.  ABOUT THE BOOK:  Angel Rising   Hannah Livingston has the most infamous stalker that ever existed- Satan. She spent her sixth birthday with the Brethren, fighting an apocalyptic war that sent the Dark Prince back to Hell, and the rest of her life wondering if he’d be back for her soul someday. She needn’t wonder any longer.    Gabriel Seeker, Brethren Protector, spends his days and nights rescuing kids from sex traffickers and protecting their lives from further damage. He knows all too well the nightmarish world they’ve been stolen into, and it’s gotten harder to keep secret his own past horrors.    Hannah and Gabriel have always gotten along, first as friends, then as co-workers. She manages his life and he protects hers. A perfect, symbiotic relationship, so it would seem, until suppressed feelings for each other surface and forever change the landscape of their lives. Stricken with PTSD, the determined angel seeks to protect the woman he loves from Satan’s greedy and insidious clutches.    Deceit and seduction, desire and repression, collide in this epic, immortal story of love, duty, and sacrifice.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2014/09/05/angel-rising-with-deena-remiel</guid><pubDate>Fri, 05 Sep 2014 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523274/angel_rising_with_deena_remiel.mp3" length="17403104" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>About the Author:  Deena Remiel is an Arizona author of paranormal romance, urban and dark fantasy, and romantic suspense.

She grew up in Philadelphia, home of the most amazing cheese steaks, soft pretzels, and the Liberty Bell. Arizona called to her spirit and tempted her husband with much better weather! They moved the family, and the rest is history, or the present, as the case may be.  ABOUT THE BOOK:  Angel Rising   Hannah Livingston has the most infamous stalker that ever existed- Satan. She spent her sixth birthday with the Brethren, fighting an apocalyptic war that sent the Dark Prince back to Hell, and the rest of her life wondering if he’d be back for her soul someday. She needn’t wonder any longer.    Gabriel Seeker, Brethren Protector, spends his days and nights rescuing kids from sex traffickers and protecting their lives from further damage. He knows all too well the nightmarish world they’ve been stolen into, and it’s gotten harder to keep secret his own past horrors.    Hannah and Gabriel have always gotten along, first as friends, then as co-workers. She manages his life and he protects hers. A perfect, symbiotic relationship, so it would seem, until suppressed feelings for each other surface and forever change the landscape of their lives. Stricken with PTSD, the determined angel seeks to protect the woman he loves from Satan’s greedy and insidious clutches.    Deceit and seduction, desire and repression, collide in this epic, immortal story of love, duty, and sacrifice.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4351</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>angels,angels god archangels,author,books,deena remiel</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/a7f6a64a21b49f4b0bb57883e4b852d9.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>The Hay Girls Show with David V. of Squiddog and Friends</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-hay-girls-show-with-david-v-of-squiddog-and-friends--63523267</link><description><![CDATA[David V. of Squiddog and Friends will be this months special guests live Ice House Tavern Phx on September 3rd, starting @ 8PM.

A Star in My Hand is collection of short stories that are close to the heart, touching the emotions and engaging the mind of the reader. The book focuses on transitions - those moments when life changes - pivotal times when fate and feelings blend to transform ordinary events into life-changing transitions.  The preface to A Star in My Hand:             When laughter strikes a heart, a beautiful tone sings to another’s soul. When tears fall, the pain, the grief, travels its journey, bowing the heads of all it encounters. Our words, our worlds connect. And for a brief time, my story becomes yours and yours mine. The words transport the reader perhaps to a place within, or to a secret wish kept through time. A small reminder of a cherished memory, or of the defining second which changed a life.   We will be talking to author, Diana Elarde about the book and about her experiences which let to the book. ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2014/05/16/a-star-in-my-hand-transformation-with-diana-elarde</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 May 2014 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523289/a_star_in_my_hand_transformation_with_diana_elarde.mp3" length="16636736" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>What does life look like once the children move on?

The box is famed to hold a secret of power—one strong enough to overcome Lord Eris and the shield of power he stole from Valdon. Daria doesn't know where the box is hidden, but she can't ignore the silent urging, beckoning her to the land of Pendel—the land her mother, Aurora Pandor, was from.  Time is running out.

We will be talking to Loren Kleinman who is a writer and poet and a columnist for IndieReader.com (IR) where she interviews New York Times and USA Today bestselling indie authors. Some of those interviews in IR reappeared in USA Today and The Huffington Post.  Her poetry has appeared in many literary journals.

Rome's Revolution is an interstellar saga about a man from the 21st century and a woman from the 35th century who fight forces from the incomprehensibly large to the infinitesimally small, all intent on destroying mankind. Cinematic in scope, Rome's Revolution offers romance, comedy, heart-pounding thrills, suspense, "legal" time travel, and meticulously researched hard science. It is a love story and a culture clash that celebrates the triumph of the individual over a mass-mind that thinks it is infallible.

Rome's Revolution is an interstellar saga about a man from the 21st century and a woman from the 35th century who fight forces from the incomprehensibly large to the infinitesimally small, all intent on destroying mankind. Cinematic in scope, Rome's Revolution offers romance, comedy, heart-pounding thrills, suspense, "legal" time travel, and meticulously researched hard science. It is a love story and a culture clash that celebrates the triumph of the individual over a mass-mind that thinks it is infallible. Rome's Revolution has it all: robots, aliens, computers, genetic manipulation, spaceships that travel faster than light and some that travel a lot slower.  We will be talking to author, Michael L.

Ronald is a member of the Arizona Authors Association and the Phoenix Writers Club and a professional member of the Society of Southwestern Authors. He recently completed my first round of courses at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts and is now a certified hypnotherapist.  Ronald stated, "The Plaz Seschni series is overall Science Fiction, maybe some Urban Fantasy, with a few Horror elements. When it comes to fiction, my primary genres are Science Fiction and Fantasy. I have nothing against the Horror genre, but I don’t think having vampires in a book makes it horror."  From the Historical Information:  After nearly twenty five standard years of research there was a breakthrough, the one that led to the establishment of Plaz Seschni. Dr. Nestri Vas Juliuan developed what had been called Serum XVF-1065-VB-9099. After a series of near successful experiments, Dr. Vas Juliuan was certain he had the right combination. So certain, in fact, that he made himself the subject for that critical experiment. Suffice it to say it worked, and Order Ruby came into being at that moment.  After becoming a vampire, Dr. Vas Juliuan continued his research for another 1125 Terran years, hoping to perfect the serum and overcome what he regarded as shortcomings of the transformation. Ultimately he despaired of the effort. Never liking the notion of having to drink blood and not being able to walk unprotected in the daylight, he ended his days by walking out of a spaceship airlock without a suit.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2013/08/16/vampires-in-space-with-author-ronald-tobin</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Aug 2013 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523303/vampires_in_space_with_author_ronald_tobin.mp3" length="12095239" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Ronald C.Tobin  Author of A Ruby for Victor  Website: www.ronaldctobin.com  We will be talking to Ronald C.

Williams and find out why she thinks she is the Accidental Writer. ABOUT THE BOOK:  Bohemian Grove  Carter is living the perfect life in Santa Barbara -- loving father, great friends, and a successful business she has worked hard to build. Yet, it takes one scary night to change everything when a phantom knock on her door ends with the knowledge that her life will never again be the same. She discovers that everything she has known is a lie as the knowledge that she is the descendant of an alien line is thrown at her.   Jack is a haunted man, while the one bright point in his life becomes Carter, a childhood acquaintance. Her very presence heats the depths of his soul and she could be his salvation. Yet, she is the very thing he most fears.   Together they will discover the world of the Anunnaki, an alien race whose history has been tied to Earth since the very dawn of civilization. Thrust together into the unknown, they'll have no choice but to work as a team to wade through what is true and what is lie as Carter determines her place in this unknown society. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  What first started off as a blip on a blog soon took on a life of its own and turned into a novel. One, that T.M. Williams explains, she never really had control over. From the first moment her fingers hit the keyboard, the story formed, sometimes surprising even her with the twists in the story.  After finishing Bohemian Grove she began to look into getting the book published. The quest seemed so daunting that she decided to put it on the back burner and continue writing the trilogy.  Half-way through Sun Gate, Bohemian Grove was signed on by Nightengale Press and has been released in February 2013.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2013/03/13/tm-williams-is-the-accidental-writer-with-this-sf-thriller</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523369/tm_williams_is_the_accidental_writer_with_this_sf_thriller.mp3" length="14533822" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>We will be talking today with T.M.

Why do they always dash to a rug when they have to throw up? And why are they always absolutely starving?  Things Your Dog Doesn’t Want You to Know answers the questions that dog owners have asked for centuries. The book is a collection of 115 humorous essays that reveal the truth behind some of the most baffling canine behavior, their hopes and dreams, their grudges and pleasures, and what they really think about us humans.  Peppered with lively, clever stories and visually appealing photographs, Things Your Dog Doesn’t Want You to Know is a verbal and visual delight that is laugh-out-loud funny.  If you have dogs, love dogs, or have ever been baffled by a dog, this book is a must-have. Topics include: • My Life in Your Purse by Tinkerbell, the Chihuahua • Waiting by the Table (for food scraps, of course!) by Orson, the bulldog • The Bed Rules (Rule #1—It’s my bed) by Dimples, the boxer • The Reason I Ate the Sofa (leather tastes a lot like rawhide) by Axelrod, the yellow lab • I Can Poop the Second I Start My Walk (but choose not to) by Sophie, the cocker spaniel  For more information, go to www.ThingsYourDog.com where you can also ask questions about your own dog’s behavior and learn the secrets they have been keeping from you! PRAISE FOR THE BOOK: “A whimsical delight for dog lovers everywhere, this book will charm and remind readers why they fell in love with Rover to begin with.” (Publishers Weekly Starred Review)  “I laughed, my dog howled.” (Steve Martin) “This is the perfect book for anyone who owns a dog, has ever owned one, or knows what a dog is. These guys made me laugh out loud—and captured my heart at the same time. The book is simply irresistible.” (Tony Shalhoub, star of the TV series Monk)]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2012/11/03/things-your-dog-doesnt-want-you-to-know-with-hy-and-jeff</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Nov 2012 00:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523347/things_your_dog_doesnt_want_you_to_know_with_hy_and_jeff.mp3" length="18166305" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Why do dogs eat furniture when there are endless chew toys nearby?

Someone once spoke to Norm of how Moses, the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, spent the first forty years of his life learning he was a “somebody.”   He spent the second forty years as a shepherd, on the backside of a desert, learning he was a “nobody,” and the third forty years learning that God could take a “nobody” and make him a “somebody.”  Norm can imagine how Moses might have felt towards the end of his life.  This job God has set for both men was daunting.  But Norm knows that God and he are a majority.   God has prepared Norm for this journey his whole life. Norm is now ready to help prepare others for the spiritual Apocalypse and how to survive the End Times.   “Apocalypse Survival Guide” is the third book Norm has written and published. His other two books, “The United States of America In Biblical Prophecy”, published in 2011, which is about how the USA is mentioned in the Bible.

Tonight we will take a look at Speculative Fiction, what it is, what makes it different from other genre's and how it is growing in popularity. We are so pleased to have as our guest, Ms. Patti Hultstrand, a dedicated author, reader and Managing Editor of ConNotations NewsZine.  Patti has been writing since the 7th grade when her English teacher took an active interest in her poetry and short story writing. Her first love became science-fiction when she was introduced to the works of Ray Bradbury. Fandom bit her when she actually met the man behind the works in 1987 at a special engagement speech in Phoenix, Arizona.

Tonight we will take a look at Speculative Fiction, what it is, what makes it different from other genre's and how it is growing in popularity. We are so pleased to have as our guest, Ms. Patti Hultstrand, a dedicated author, reader and Managing Editor of ConNotations NewsZine.  Patti has been writing since the 7th grade when her English teacher took an active interest in her poetry and short story writing. Her first love became science-fiction when she was introduced to the works of Ray Bradbury. Fandom bit her when she actually met the man behind the works in 1987 at a special engagement speech in Phoenix, Arizona. Patti has been involved in the printing/publishing industry for nearly 18 years, including having published her own magazine on Arizona Graphics &amp; Marketing. In 2008 she launched Az Publishing Services and has since published over 50 books. Her own writing has not languished, and her third book in the Chasing Time series was launched in 2011.  Patti accepted the appointment to ConNotations in September of 2011, and has not looked back since.

BOOK SYNOPSIS: Remember the weird kid with the greasy hair and the odd smell you went to school with? You know, the one who never talked to anyone? That creepy little jerk who sat alone at lunch? The oddball who never took a shower in gym class? The one you imagined might one day go on a shooting spree?  Believe it or not, that kid grew up.  He grew up, he got married, he never shot a single person, he wrote a book, and he even started taking showers after his workouts – most of the time.  Goats Eat Cans is his story.  Follow along as Steven Novak recounts the sometimes hilarious, sometimes hilariously painful, and sometimes painfully hilarious moments that have made his life so wonderfully frustrating. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might even vomit. No matter what, you won't be able to stop reading.

Adios!, the second book in the trilogy begins where Aloha! ends and gives readers a window into the inner workings of the federal government. It is now 2014 and President Bruce Gavin will be up for reelection soon, the war in Afghanistan is still raging and illegal immigration and human trafficking is a national problem.   Adios! answers those questions and more as it delves into Mexico’s most powerful drug cartel and offers an intriguing sub plot with the unlikeliest of heroes, a young Mexican woman named Maria Rodriguez and her two children, who not only escape the cartel but end up causing it’s demise.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4563</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>author interview,authors,economic issues,immigration,political fiction</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/19147b1aadb6649eeb1f8c95ab7b6ee6.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Charles Burgess: Past Book Successes</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/charles-burgess-past-book-successes--63523417</link><description><![CDATA[Charles Burgess has had a varied career doing everything from selling insurance, to computer products to used cars before finally channeling his creative talent and energy into putting his words and stories on paper.

Myth met reality as she toured the villages and castles of Dracula's homeland with a guide. What she didn’t expect was an inner journey through her own past. It Started with Dracula:The Count, My Mother, and Me   As a young girl, Jane Congdon loved movies about Dracula. They ignited a dream in her to see the castles and forests of Transylvania, but first she had to face the monster that lurked in her very own house—a mother whose thirst was more frightening than a vampire’s.  It Started with Dracula is Jane’s spellbinding tale of finally taking the trip of her childhood dreams to the land of Dracula. Her journey to a country that reminded her of home unleashed childhood memories and triggered an inner journey that was completely unexpected.  Through the prism of Dracula's legend and the Transylvanian countryside, Jane connects with the girl she had been and puts her childhood into perspective.

His first novel, When the Sky Fell, co-authored by Brandon Barr, was published two years later, followed by two other books they've written together, American Midnight and After the Cross. His latest novel, The Crystal Portal, co-authored by Travis Perry, was released in 2011, along with a host of short stories published in various magazines. Mike lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and two children. Synopsis of "After the Cross"  At the newly excavated Medieval library in Istanbul, Turkey, a discovery is made that is poised to rock Christendom to its very foundation—an 800-year old letter which purports to reveal the final resting place of Jesus’ Cross. This explosive news is kept quiet at the behest of Vladimir Zarco, a Ukrainian billionaire whose illegal business activities are threatened by the document’s discovery. He hastily convenes a team of experts in an effort to discredit the manuscript’s authenticity, but when their analysis points to it as being genuine, a bomb destroys the research center. Zarco shuts the project down, and orders the surviving researchers to leave. Two of the linguists, Drs. Mallory Windom and Colton Foster, have other ideas. Once bitter enemies, they decide to hunt for the cross on their own, even though mysterious forces seem bent on stopping them at all costs. Despite the obstacles thrown at them, Mallory and Colton press on to an ancient Jewish town where the Cross has allegedly been hidden. They soon discover, however, the fiercest battle is not from without, but from within, testing their beliefs, their ethics, and their growing love for one another.   ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kwodradio/2011/09/10/saturday-matinee-with-mike-lynch-author-of-after-the-cross</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Sep 2011 17:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63523593/saturday_matinee_with_mike_lynch_author_of_after_the_cross.mp3" length="15021790" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>PJ Hultstrand</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Mike Lynch published his first (non-fiction) book, Dublin, in 2007.

Author’s Stephen A. Enna and Dennis J.

Aloha is a story that could have been plucked from today’s 24/7 news cycle. The book successfully interweaves the back story of the characters with current story lines as the senior senator from Oregon, Bruce Gavin, prepares to take office as the new (republican) 45th US President.  Gavin ran his campaign on a strong platform of reform and after he becomes President, the American people are informed that he has signed a treaty with the People’s Republic of China to sell them the Hawaiian Islands for 13 Trillion in cash. The sale will all but eliminate the national debt of $15 trillion. Will President Gavin be able to convince the Senate of the United States that the sale is in the best interest of the country or will the Senate reject the concept and continue with the losing strategy of trying to solve the national debt a little at a time?

He will be answering some life-long theological questions from his unique perspective. Such questions about evolution seems to be taboo to many Christians today, but Don embraces these ideas and has spent years exploring the deepest questions stirring in both believers and non-believers alike.  Don Wiest was baptized and raised in the protective family atmosphere of the Seventh-day Adventist church. His faith matured after learning to distinguish religious works from the simple yet impeccable logic of Grace. Today Don resides in Arizona and is an avid armchair historian who also has a passion for new discoveries in archeology and astronomy. These interests have awarded Don with unique ideals that he wishes to share with his readers and listeners.  IN THE LAST PORTION OF THE PROGRAM:  Civilization: From the beginning with Noah's Ark to what some believe will be the end in 2012.  Donald Jacques is back again to discuss the historical view of our past and how current indicators stack the deck in a different view of our near future in 2012-2013. What can we expect?
