Happy Tuesday, Fabulous Listener!

It’s been a very busy week, and I hope you are all doing amazing. This week we have a fabulous guest with a very exciting new series. Please enjoy the talented Mr. Bjorn Leesson with his new book, Runes of the Dokkrsdottir.

Bjorn was born in the Lowcountry of South Carolina a long, long time ago. He has worked in manufacturing all his working life to feed himself but has nourished his mind with the study of many topics; history of all eras, the paranormal, astronomy, writing of different types, photography, archeology, genealogy, vexillology, some other -ologies, even stock car racing for a couple of years, and on and on.

Bjorn finds just about everything fascinating in some way and has been accused of being too easily entertained. A blend of a few of his interests led to the creation of the Thalsparr Universe. The first installment of the series will be “Runes of the Dokkrsdottir”. He currently lives in the Midlands of South Carolina with his wife of 25 years on their hobby farm.

Happy Monday, Fabulous Listener!

It’s a hot summer day here in Texas and I hope you are doing amazing. We have a fabulous guest this evening for us. The talented Mr. Don Sawyer is sharing his new book with us, The Burning Gem.

An educator and writer, Don grew up in Michigan and move to Canada in the 1960s, where he more or less flunked out of his PhD program in Modern Chinese History at the University of British Columbia. This turned out to be a blessing as it opened up a world of opportunity and experiences. From teaching in a small Newfoundland outport to training community workers in West Africa; to teaching adults on a First Nations community in British Columbia to designing a climate change action course for Jamaican youth, he has worked with youth and adults from many backgrounds.

Inevitably, these experiences have made their way into his writing. Don has authored over 12 books, including two Canadian bestsellers. His articles and op-eds have appeared in many journals and most of Canada’s major dailies. He currently lives in St Catharines, Ontario, with Jan Henig Sawyer, his wife of 55 years. To learn more about the fabulous Mr. Don, check out his website at www.donsawyer.org.

Hope you are doing incredible on this fun summer night. This evening, I’m pleased to have the amazing Ms. Jeni Stand with us, chatting about her debut book, Mad Money and Murder. This is a fun cross over of cozy mystery with a touch of paranormal.

Jenni Stand is achieving her lifelong dream of becoming a published author. She was born and raised on Prince Edward Island in Canada, and she now lives in Texas with her husband, daughter, and slightly spastic dog. She has always wanted to be a writer, partially due to being surrounded by everything connected with Anne of Green Gables and Lucy Maud Montgomery and partially due to her love of reading. Growing up, she always had her nose in a mystery book, whether it was Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys or Trixie Belden.

After years of trying to write a book without success, Jenni was one of the earliest students of Ellie Alexander’s Mystery Writing Masterclass. Since joining, Jenni wrote her first book, “Mad Money & Murder: A Pond Investigations Mystery”. She is currently revising the second book in the series titled “Death is in the Cards”, to be released in 2025. She is an Affiliate Member of the Mystery Writers of America.

Make sure to check out Jenni’s website to learn more about her books and all the fun things she has coming out https://www.jennistand.com.
