    Episode 375: A Chat with Steven A. Guglich
    2024/10/25
    The world could always use more fantasy novels, and after my chat with Steven A. Guglich, I'm sure Piercing the Veil is a great addition to the genre. Listen in to learn about how he wrote this series and what's to come. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. By nature, fantasy novels are about journeys--to places, to things, to ideas... but journeys. Steven Guglich has a new twist on it (well, it's new to me!) with fantasy that explores what happened when magic left the human race and what it will take to bring it back. One thing that fascinated me most about his writing process is how he wrote all the backstory and history of everything. Dwarves, gnomes, gods, legends...He created it all so that he'd have it when he needed it to weave into the story but we won't get great, heaping infodumps of world-building. Because worldbuilding is such a huge part of fantasy, but authors too often build within the story instead of tell the story that came from the world they already built. Piercing the Veil by Steven A. Guglich They say that legends are born, not made. But for Jeremy Goodson and Masaru Hagen that is far from the truth. Confronted by something that neither of them can explain, two complete strangers from opposite sides of the world embark on an unforgettable journey that will forge them into living legends. It has been almost 4,000 years since magic disappeared from the Earth. Hidden from humanity by the Veil, those who possess magic live in ancient settlements across the globe. Over the centuries, these beings have pierced the Veil, leaving behind glimpses and shadows of the fantastic and arcane. Fueled by distant memories and humanity’s desire for wonder, familiar stories of myths and legends have been passed down for thousands of years in nearly every culture and nation. Jeremy Goodson, an average, overweight teacher in New York City finds his entire world turned upside down when a stranger tempts him to leave everything behind and start a journey that will test Jeremy’s mysterious gift and bring magic and hope back to humanity. Masaru Hagen, the adopted son of American tech entrepreneurs living in Tokyo, has been guided by an unseen voice all his life. On the eve of his twentieth birthday, the voice leads him across thousands of miles, on a mysterious and perilous mission he alone can undertake. But there are principalities of this world that will do whatever they can to stop Jeremy and Masaru and keep magic out of the hands of humanity forever. One of these men will bring hope to the world; the other will bring death. The world they once knew will be changed forever, not only for themselves, but for everyone on Earth… and maybe not for the best.

    Episode 374: A Chat with Liz Johnson
    2024/10/22

    A chat with Liz Johnson is always a lot of fun, but a chat about another Red Door Inn book? Listen in to learn what you'll find in Meddling with Mistletoe

    note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

    Okay, so we talked about more than Meddling with Mistletoe. Yes, we learned what we'll find in that book, but... we also had to have a chat about Christmas at the Red Door Inn (a personal favorite) and about her new series coming next year!

    Meddling with Mistletoe by Liz Johnson

    Whitney Garrett is preparing to enter culinary school in the spring, but first she has to sell enough homemade pies at the local Christmas markets to pay her tuition. When her oven breaks, Whitney asks Marie Sloan, proprietor of the Red Door Inn, if she can use the inn's kitchen to keep up with her orders. Marie agrees, with a catch: Whitney has to watch the three Sloan children and cook breakfasts for the Red Door in return.

    The inn is busy with holiday guests--including Aretha Franklin Sloan's perpetually single nephew Daniel and Ruby, a businesswoman in town to purchase Aretha's antiques store. Intent on making a Christmas match for the two, Aretha enlists Whitney's help in her schemes. But the deeper Whitney gets, the more she realizes that Ruby is definitely not the right woman for Daniel--and the more she thinks that she just might be his perfect match.

    Cuddle up for some warm holiday cheer as New York Times bestselling author Liz Johnson explores the unforeseen consequences of meddling with mistletoe when love is on the line.

    You can still get Meddling with Mistletoe for 30% off and FREE SHIPPING from BakerBookHouse.com

    Episode 373: A Chat with Kit Tosello
    2024/10/18
    I have a special place in my heart for debut novels, and I especially love ones that deal with broken people who find healing in Jesus and His people, so imagine how excited I was to hear about The Color of Home by Kit Tosello! Listen in to learn more about her, her books, and even how her home town inspired her fictional town! note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. Okay, so there's a lot to love about Kit Tosello, and not all of it has to do with a debut novel that had me hooked from the first paragraph of the synopsis! I mean, down to her last nerve? That's my life these past two weeks! But more than a story about family, connections, the difficulties of caregiving for loved ones with dementia, and connection with the Lord... Kit Tosello is just a cool person. How do I know? She gets TEA. She is all about TEA. She even has a company... Suttle TEA in Oregon. Check out her WEBSITE for more. I know I have a huge order sitting here waiting for me to have half a minute to place it. EEEP! The Color of Home by Kit Tosello Audrey Needham, Bay Area interior designer to the rich and pretentious, is down to her last nerve. Her boss is impossible to please, her future is in jeopardy, and her great-aunt Daisy needs support as her husband descends into Alzheimer's. When Daisy enlists Audrey's help preparing for a move to assisted living, Audrey risks her career to return to the idyllic small town of Charity Falls, Oregon, the summer stomping grounds of her childhood. But Charity Falls was also the place that broke her heart when her father was killed in a tragic fire at the Sugar Pine Inn thirteen years ago. Despite Audrey's intent to avoid emotional entanglement, the pull of home is hard to resist. Something should be done about the deteriorating inn. A local girl with an incarcerated father needs a friend. And handsome local do-gooder Cade Carter is coloring Audrey all shades of uncertain.
