Spotlight Honors

Today I am interviewing  Lynn Miclea author of the book “Ruthie: A Family’s Struggle with ALS.” This book is a memoir written by Lynn in the hopes of helping other caregivers cope with the awesome responsibility and stress of caring for loved ones. The show is live beginning at 11:00 Central Time and here is a direct link.   If you miss the live show, an archived version will be available at this link after the show is over.

 

Here is the blurb for Lynn’s book.

A powerful and compassionate memoir about an intelligent and beautiful woman’s experience with ALS. Dramatic and heart-wrenching, the story takes the reader through various symptoms, multiple diagnoses, and progression of the disease, as the author’s mother loses her strength, independence, and ability to speak and eat. The story includes volatile family interactions as one person who is in denial attempts to block the woman from getting the help she desperately needs. This is a personal view of this difficult illness, and the story brings you right into their lives and hearts. This book is ultimately inspirational, as it offers many insights and practical suggestions for helping someone with a terminal disease. This would greatly benefit anyone dealing with any type of progressive illness.

Thursday – A Little Personal – #RRBC RAVE WAVES Spotlight Honors Interview with Karl Morgan

~ John W. Howell ~ 21 Comments

Spotlight Honors

 

I am very pleased to be hosting Karl Morgan on the RAVE WAVES Spotlight Honors broadcast live today at 11:00 Central Time. Here are the details and link.

Welcome to RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB’S BlogTalkRadio production of RAVE WAVES “SPOTLIGHT HONORS,” where HOST JOHN W. HOWELL is joined by AUTHOR KARL MORGAN. We will be discussing his novel, THE OLD HOUSE. Join us as we explore this book and become better acquainted with the author. Here is the link to the broadcast.

This segment of SPOTLIGHT HONORS is being sponsored by ANGEL OF DEATH by author JENNY HINSMAN.

 

Karl Morgan

 

Karl Morgan has a lifelong fascination with stories in the science fiction and fantasy genres, whether it was the Tom Swift novels by Victor Appleton he read as a young boy, or television like Lost in Space and Star Trek, and especially films like Star Wars, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. All of those tales put the protagonist in terrible situations where the odds are against them and, yet, somehow they prevail. The reader/viewer is always left with a sense that something greater than ourselves is watching over us. The reliance on Divine Providence, the power of friendship, and the desire to learn and grow are cornerstones of the author’s Dave Brewster, Heartstone and Modern Prophet series. The Old House is somewhat different, and based on the dreams of Chris Gullet, a friend. This love story spans the ages as two soul mates encounter one another in life after life. It explores the idea that if love can survive death, then perhaps other less savory emotions can as well. Karl lives in the San Diego area with his wife, Aida, and their beloved puppies. Their two grown children have fled the nest and started their own adventures in life.

Thursday – A little Personal – Radio Interview with #RRBC’s Maggie Thom

~ John W. Howell ~ 13 Comments

 

 

I will be hosting an RRBC Rave Waves radio interview at 11:00 CST today with Maggie Thom, the talented author of “CAPTURED LIES” – Book One of the Caspian Wine Suspense/Thriller/Mystery Series. Join us as we explore this novel and become better acquainted with the author

Blurb:

She was kidnapped not once but twice… and now someone wants her dead because of it…
Her life was a lie!
Bailey knew her upbringing wasn’t normal, but she’s worked hard to stabilize her life. She finally has a good business, a stable home; her life is miles from that of her childhood. Then her mom suddenly dies, leaving a gaping hole and a discovery, that they may not even be related. If Guy, the private investigator is to be believed, her life was a lie. Growing up on the run has prepared Bailey for once again, fleeing to stay alive. Using the skills she learned on the street, Bailey travels back through a sketchy and dangerous past, to find answers. Dodging bullets, staying ahead of those who want her dead and convincing Guy she can do it alone, are making it difficult to uncover, not only the secrets of her mother’s past, but that of a family claiming she is theirs.
Everyone seems to have a story… but who’s telling the truth? And who wants her dead? To discover the truth,
she’ll have to untangle a web of deceit, lies, and secrets dating back over thirty years.
