November 2023 Lineup

We begin November with a feature of “Death by Podcasting,” a novella by Sarah Archer and Landis Wade, and then we have interviews with two New York Times bestselling authors and a debut author off to a great start.

Episode 364 – November 7

In this episode, we feature “Death by Podcasting,” a novella by award-winning authors Sarah Archer and Landis Wade, what Jenifer Ruff, USA Today bestselling thriller and mystery author, calls a “clever, comedic mystery that will keep you guessing until the final revelation.” We also feature Cara Kagan’s audio blog titled “Rejection Perfection,” a lesson-learning journey through the literary publishing process. And we have author elevator pitches to share. 

Episode 365 – November 14

In this episode, we feature New York Times bestselling author Jerome Preisler, and his non-fiction book “Civil War Commando,” a fine piece of writing about a little known naval war hero named William Barker Cushing, a man who defied all odds to pull off a stunning defeat for the Confederacy. The book is fast paced history about what led up to and how the Union sunk the Confederate ironclad Albemarle in a spectacular mission in 1864, helping re-elect Abraham Lincoln.

Episode 366 – November 21

In this episode, we feature acclaimed Charlotte-area author Amber Smith and her novel “The Way I Am Now,” the sequel to her New York Times bestselling debut “The Way I Used to Be.” These books follow teenage Eden through high school and into college as she lives with the aftermath of sexual assault and learns to move forward in life and in love. Author Laurie Elizabeth Flynn calls the novel “an absolute stunner of a sequel.”

Episode 367 – November 28

In this episode, we feature Ben Crane, who worked for many years in in film development—the Jack Ryan and Equalizer franchises were the biggest projects he worked on—until he moved into a new career in writing with his novel “A Man of Lies.” Publisher’s Weekly says “Crane’s ambitious, fast-moving debut follows a gay mobster desperate to leave the underworld behind. There’s a lot of bloodshed and a lot of plot twists here. Bold and exciting.” The novel received a Library Journal starred review.
