Fighting with Honor: The Vietnam Veteran’s Legacy with Author Doyle Glass

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Doyle Glass, author of the book Swift Sword. Doyle is an author, historian, and sculptor dedicated to honoring those who fought for freedom. He is a master at recounting true stories of brave men and women who were outnumbered and out-gunned but continued to battle toe-to-toe with ferocious opponents in war.
Doyle Glass was born in Midland, Texas among the fifth generation of a pioneer ranching family who was raised with an appreciation for hard work, adventure, and honor. After earning degrees in history and law from Southern Methodist University, he completed law school and worked as an Assistant District Attorney in Texas. Later, he served as Assistant Attorney General in Kentucky, prosecuting some of the worst violent crimes in the state.
In 2000, Glass turned to the arts as a way to tell stories of his childhood heroes. He conceived and sculpted a bronze statue of John Squires, who braved enemy fire to save others during WWII and received the Medal of Honor. The statue stands in downtown Louisville, Kentucky as a reminder of the sacrifices made by local citizens who fought and died for freedom. In 2008, Glass designed and sculpted the Texas Medal of Honor Memorial, dedicated to George O’Brien who earned the Medal of Honor during the Korean War. The memorial stands at the International Artillery Museum in Saint Jo, Texas as a symbol recognizing those who earned America’s highest award for combat valor.
Besides writing and sculpting, Glass’ greatest pride is being a loving husband and father to his wife and three children where they reside in Dallas, Texas.
In my book review, I stated I recently finished reading Swift Sword, and it’s a book that I believe should be on everyone's TBR. I grew up during the Vietnam era, which meant that my history classes didn't cover the war. I only knew what little I paid attention to on the news. Swift Sword helped me see more than American protests and swash-buckling MASH-style soldiers that often depict this tragic war.
This amazing book focuses on the Swift Operation and the Marines of Mike 3/5. Doyle did thorough research, taking the reader on a detailed journey of those days of fighting. But more than that, he helps us understand the patriotism, the longing, the hope, and the fear of these young men as they faced impossible challenges.
As I finished the last page, I wondered how I would have fared in such a fight, and considered the resilience that pulled these soldiers through. Perhaps, like the men in Swift Sword, we all have that kind of strength within us.

In the Trenches: Life as a COVID Frontline Nurse with Author Kim Sloan

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Kim Sloan, author of the book Memoirs from the Frontlines. Kim, BSN, RN, Travel ICU nurse has been a nurse since 2008. She began working as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in 2008 then pursued her Associate of Nursing degree from Central Ohio Technical College in 2013. She then received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2015 from South University.  Throughout her career, her experience has primarily been in the critical care setting including emergency room (ER) and Intensive care units (ICU). She travels in both areas with ICU as her main passion. Her husband has been a nurse since 2001 working mostly in the intensive care units. He also obtained his BSN from South University in 2017.  Their families, children, and grandchildren live in Ohio where Kim and her husband still maintain a home. They travel the country in their RV, living thirteen weeks at a time (the normal time frame for an assignment) as travel ICU nurses and have been doing so since 2017. They have traveled to and ridden their motorcycle in all fifty states, and they have worked nineteen different assignments at the time of this writing within thirteen different states.   In her spare time, Kim enjoys riding motorcycles, and she is an avid chronological scrapbooker. Not to mention, her most enjoyable passion is spending time with her beautiful three granddaughters. 
 
In my book review, I stated Memoirs from the Frontlines is a memoir written about her experiences as an ICU nurse during COVID - and not just any ICU nurse, but one battling the pandemic in one of the hotspots in the United States - a small town in Southern Georgia. This memoir is a hard look at the pandemic from the eyes of someone who saw the worst of the worst.
 
Her story covers the first two years of the pandemic and takes readers to four different hospitals. She lets us see things that were not shown on the news, hear the truth about the ravages of COVID, and begin to understand the horrific experience of helplessly watching people die one organ at a time.
 
As I read, I noted several shared experiences from one way lines in the grocery store to modified holidays with my family. But I also noted experiences that were uniquely those on the frontlines. And I completely understand her desire to save the rest of us from that miserable disease.
 
If you wonder if the lockdown was necessary, if the masks made sense, if the vaccine was/is helpful, or if anything you did during 2020 and 2021 helped anyone, I urge you to read this account - and then count yourself blessed to be here to read Kim's words.

Healers of the Hearth: A Medieval Woman's Journey to Become a Physician with Author Lorraine Norwood

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Lorraine Norwood, author of the book The Solitary Sparrow. Lorraine is a former journalist and archaeologist who lives in Western North Carolina. Her short stories and essays have been published in Minerva Rising, New Southerner, Proud to Be: Writing by American Warriors, Volume 3, and Talking Writing, and have won awards in the Atlanta Writers Club contests. She is a member of the Historical Novel Society, Womens' Fiction Writers Association, and Author Accelerator. Her debut novel, The Solitary Sparrow, will be published in the spring of 2024. She is at work on the sequel, A Pelican in the Wilderness. The novels are part of a series set in 14th century England and France. Lorraine is also a certified Book Coach and developmental editor. She writes with an always-hungry yellow Lab, Sally, by her side and an aloof cat, Macavity, who sometimes deigns to be touched.
 
In my book review, I stated The Solitary Sparrow is an amazing historical fiction set in 14th century England and France. I loved the premise - a child, Meg, considered evil due to a birth deformity eventually finds her passion in medicine. But how will she move forward given her facial disfigurement, her family's station in life, and the fact that she is a woman?
 
Early in the book, Meg determines that she will become the first licensed female physician in English and hopes to provide care to women. She is tutored by a village healer, then a surgeon and his son, and even a school of medicine, though she must remain hidden from view because no females are allowed to attend. Despite it all, she thrives - gaining knowledge, wisdom, and even love.
 
If you love a story about persistence and courage, then you will love The Solitary Sparrow. Lorraine's research is top-notch and her characters come to life on the page. It's a must read.

AI and Writing: Unlocking Creativity or Threatening Authenticity with Author Mike Trigg

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Mike Trigg, author of the book Burner. Mike is here today to chat with us about AI and how this technology will affect authors.
Mike Trigg was born in Kentucky and raised in Wisconsin. He earned a BA from Northwestern University and an MBA from University of California, Berkeley. Before becoming a novelist, Trigg had a twenty-five-year career in Silicon Valley https://www.linkedin.com/in/triggmike/ as a founder, executive, and investor in dozens of venture-funded technology start-ups.
Trigg’s first novel, BIT FLIP, was released in August 2022 to critical acclaim, with 5-star reviews from Foreword, IndieReader, and the Manhattan Book Review, and lauded by the San Francisco Chronicle as a “twisty, acerbic corporate thriller” set in Silicon Valley.
His second novel, BURNER, comes out April 16, 2024. Billed as a "fascinating thriller in which an online movement swallows up the person who started it" by Foreword Clarion Reviews, the novel dives headfirst into political disinformation, toxic internet subcultures, and our need for belonging and purpose in an age of distorted online personas.
Trigg has been a contributor to TechCrunch, Entrepreneur, Fast Company and Literary Hub and featured in dozens of media articles and interviews. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, with his wife and two sons.

Whale Songs and Wildflowers: Trapped in the Dark with Author Cynthia Reeves

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Cynthia Reeves, author of the book The Last Whaler. Cynthia Reeves is the author of three books of fiction: the Arctic novel The Last Whaler; the novel in stories Falling Through the New World, winner of Gold Wake Press’s Fiction Award; and the novella Badlands, winner of Miami University Press’s Novella Prize. Her short stories, essays, and poetry have appeared widely. Most recently, her short story “The Last Glacier” was featured in If the Storm Clears, an anthology that concerns the sublime in the natural world.
Her lifelong interest in the Arctic began in childhood reading tales of doomed Arctic explorers. But it was her participation in the 2017 Arctic Circle Summer Solstice Expedition, which sailed Svalbard’s western shores, as well as three subsequent residencies in Longyearbyen and a trip around Iceland’s Ring Road, that have inspired her writing since then. Cynthia earned an MFA from Warren Wilson College and taught creative writing at Bryn Mawr and Rosemont Colleges. Find out more at cynthiareeveswriter.com.
In my book review, I stated The Last Whaler is a historical fiction that looks at the will to survive in the harshest circumstances. We follow Astrid through her journal entries, while we follow her husband, Tor, through his journal entries ten years later. The back and forth allows the reader to see Astrid struggles in real time as well as Tor's reflections - and all the things he missed.
Astrid is strong-willed and vibrant. She is educated and dedicated. She wants - very much - to move on beyond a tragedy. A summer spent with her husband, a whaler, on a remote island, seems to be the ticket. She will revive her relationship. She will study the flora. She will find forgiveness for herself. Except, the Arctic has other ideas.
This story, beautifully told, explores mental illness, religious faith, man's impact on the environment, and the solace of storytelling. You won't want to miss it.

Whispers from Beyond: Ghosts Really Do Exist? With Author Jeff Giles

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jeff Giles, author of the book Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane. An experienced culture writer and editor who's been featured in a long list of publications including Paste Magazine, the Village Voice, American Songwriter, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Rotten Tomatoes, Jeff makes his debut as a novelist with Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane.
Although it's his first novel, Langley Powell is Jeff's third book, following Llanview in the Afternoon: An Oral History of One Life to Live and Uncle John's Beer-Topia: A Heady Brew of Beer Miscellany. He can also be heard regularly as the co-host of the long-running Record Player podcast with Matt Wardlaw. When Jeff isn't working on his next project, he's probably either running off yesterday's calories or playing guitar (badly).
Jeff lives in New Hampshire with his wife, two children, and a pair of dogs.
In my book review, I stated Langley Powell and the Society for the Defense of the Mundane is a humorous fantasy - another combination I had never read but truly enjoyed. It was sort of Harry Potter "esque" with far more tongue-in-cheek references and great bits of history trivia thrown in.
The story starts with Langley's death - he is crushed by a falling piano. Langley spent his entire life debunking the idea of ghosts, magic, and anything you couldn't see with your own eyes or prove with science. However, when he becomes a ghost, he realizes he's been wrong.
Before he can wrap his mind around his error, he finds himself on a quest to save mankind by finding his childhood hero - the magician who failed and thrust Langley toward his lifelong obsession of proving magic doesn't exist.
This dual timeline story moves quickly, has great characters, and lots of laughs. However, it also causes the reader to think about what is important in life and what holds the universe together. I highly recommend this book.

A Curator’s Journey: A Memoir of a Colorful Life with Author Jack

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Jack Maher, author of the book Poppy. Jack is a proud fifth generation Colorado native and grandson of Eric Douglas. Poppy is his first novel. A four-time National Television Arts & Sciences Heartland Chapter Emmy winner, he worked at KUSA-TV in Denver as a 9NEWS Multimedia Journalist and Executive Producer.
In my book review, I stated Poppy: A Novel About A Colorful Colorado Life is a family memoir written about Poppy by his grandson, Jack. I love family history, and I love it when a child or grandchild feels that their progenitors are worthy of recall.
Eric Douglas's life, known affectionately as Poppy, is incredible. Through him, we learn about Native Americans in and around Colorado, especially their art and the processes (clay, paint, beadwork, and more) passed on through the generations. We watch Poppy push Native American art to the forefront in Denver, but also in New York City, and San Francisco. We learn of his new ways to display art, his 'fashion shows' highlighting textile art, and his work to provide live demonstrations.
Poppy lived an unusual life that often took him from his family. But still, his family meant everything to him. I loved learning about Poppy, and I think you will, too!

From Alaska to Manhattan: Unraveling the Secret Past with Author Tina Hogan Grant

Carole O’Neill’s (Guest Host) guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Tina Hogan Grant, author of the book Secrets Told. A native of England, she feels very lucky to have spent her childhood and adolescent years in a small quaint Yorkshire town called Ilkley, where many days were spent roaming the Yorkshire moors, climbing the Cow & Calf Rocks, swimming in the River Wharfe and playing “Conkers” and “Jacks” with schoolmates.
She is the youngest daughter of famed science-fiction author James P. Hogan who sadly passed away before her first book was published. She thanks her dad for sharing his passion for books and writing with her. Today she is living that passion with hopes of passing it on to her children and grandkids.
In Carol’s book review, I stated As I read the beginning chapters of Secrets Told by Tina Hogan Grant, I was certain her main character was a carbon copy of Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada. Patricia Levenick’s complete focus on her job (this one as the head of her own law firm in Manhattan) reminded me of how everyone at the workplace feared upsetting their workaholic boss. Patricia even had two daughters, like Miranda. Ones she kept busy with ballet lessons, horseback riding lessons and any other activity that would not interfere with the needs of her law firm. I knew where this story was going.
Then suddenly, the twist. Patricia’s reaction to the letter she receives from a lawyer back in her hometown, changes everything. Initially, she was not going to let confronting her past change her lifestyle, or even slow it down long enough to admit she left a very different existence far from the hustle and bustle of New York City.
With the insistence of her ex-husband, Bryce, that their daughters have a right to know who she really is, she agrees to take the family back long enough to satisfy his curiosity about what her childhood was really like. Their surprising knowledge of her life on the water and the discovery of a grandfather they never knew they had, brings the entire family to a new high.
Alaska becomes its own character as they explore the amazing countryside and uncover the real Pattie. Grant reveals a memorable picture of the love of fishing in a nearly perfect world.
You should spend the time to open these pages and enjoy this story.

Unmasked: An FBI Agent’s Hunt for a Shapeshifter with Author D Werkmeister

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is D Werkmeister, author of the book Volk. Born and raised in Nebraska, Darin Werkmeister now lives outside of Philadelphia PA, where he was an FBI street agent for 21 years. During that time, he investigated White Collar Crime, Organized Crime, Money Laundering, and Domestic Terrorism. While in Philadelphia, he was an eight-year member of the FBI SWAT team. Prior to the FBI he was a Marine Corps officer. VOLK is his first novel.
In my book review, I stated Volk is an FBI thriller with a shapeshifter. I can honestly say that I wasn't sure what I would think about this novel and told Darin that I might not be his audience - werewolves are just not my thing. However, his characters are so strong and engaging, and the storyline so realistic (despite the werewolves), that I couldn't put it down.
Terri Watson is the main FBI agent. She is working the case of her career when she sees the beast. But who can she tell? Imagine seeing a werewolf and trying to explain that to your boss. Instead, Terri takes matters into her own hands, and the result is ... let's just say a great twist to the normal FBI thriller story!
I enjoyed that we see things from Terri's point of view as well as the wolf's. And Darin made it easy by making all of the wolf's thoughts in first person, present tense. It was rather spooky to be in the head of a werewolf, but this change in POV and tense really added to the story.
If you love a good thriller/suspense, even if you don't normally go for shapeshifters, I think you'll love this book. I know I did!

Secrets and Shadows: The Mystery That Shook Up Politics with Author Francine Pozner-Ehrenberg

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Francine Pozner-Ehrenberg, author of the book America's Candidate. Francine is an attorney and the owner of Ehrenberg & Associates Consulting Group. She is the author of the suspense novel, “America’s Candidate,” which is available on Amazon.
Francine was a Major in the United States Army, Judge Advocate General's Corp. serving for over 12 years. During a deployment to Albania in the war-stricken Balkans, as part of Operation Cornerstone, she served as the advisory liaison between civilian officials and multinational military forces involved with the operation.
Ehrenberg graduated from Rutgers Law School and is also a graduate of the Civil Affairs Advanced Course at the JFK Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Bragg.

Additionally, she was an Assistant Prosecutor in Bergen County, NJ. She has handled numerous high-level, complicated Major Financial Crimes, Securities Fraud, Money Laundering, Medicaid Fraud, Health Care Fraud and Mortgage Fraud cases.
In her book review, Tina Hogan Grant, guest-host for Online for Authors stated:
America’s Candidate was an enjoyable read written from multiple points of view which I liked. Each character was well defined and had their own unique voice.
I found the synopsis for this book intriguing and wanted to know if Annie and Amir's idea would be successful. What I didn't expect, were the many twists and surprises along the way which added to the story.
This was the author's debut novel and I think she did extremely well. I'm looking forward to her next one.
