#54-An Interview with Michael Miller

Michael Miller lobe & matterI interview author Michael Miller in this week’s podcast. Michael is the author of The Sixth Lobe and Born to Matter, books we looked at on podcasts #51 & #52.  Michael’s writing is detailed and exciting, with the action jumping off the page into your imagination.  His characters are varied and interesting.  And his subject matter is unique.  Imagine a boy and, later, a man with the ability to read your subconscious thoughts.  Or a space traveler assumed to be dead, returning to earth through a “fold” in space.  Or that same traveler bringing aliens with him.  How about more Biblical documents like the Dead Sea Scrolls.  Such is the imagination of Michael Miller.  Join me for a fascinating interview!

#53-The Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ

0411091740_0001Since this is Holy Week in the Christian calendar, I have produced a narrative of the events of Holy Week – from the arrest of Jesus through the resurrection – based totally on the Scriptures.  Rather than rely on just one of the Gospel narratives, I have meshed the four narratives together in one cogent story.  I pray that you are blessed by this telling of these important events – the most important events in all of history!

Here are some links to the Gospel records of this story:

#52-Born to Matter

Born To Matter-cover-new-iconThis week, we continue sampling the story of Danny Wilson.  This is the second of Michael Miller’s books featuring this remarkable young man.  In Born to Matter, Danny returns to the United States to settle old scores.  In the process, he makes both new enemies and new friends.  He settles his scores and makes a mark on lives that show he really was Born to Matter!

#51-The Sixth Lobe

The Sixth Lobe CoverThis week’s podcast is the first of three podcasts featuring books by author Michael Miller.  This week’s book, The Sixth Lobe, is the first of two telling Danny Wilson’s story.  In this book, we meet 10 year old Danny and discover that he has an additional lobe in his brain.  With this lobe, he is able to read the sub-conscious thoughts of those around him.  This presents problems for the child; while some adults with nefarious goals decide that this is a useful ability to tap into.  This conflict leads to an amazing climax.  Listen to some samples from this book in this podcast.  (Next week, we’ll meet the adult Danny.)

#50-An Interview with Regina Puckett

Regina PuckettMy 50th podcast features the first author who entrusted me with a book for production, Regina Puckett.  I interviewed her to talk about her about her award winning books, writing, her future projects, and the Warren Family. The Warren Family?

The Warren Family is a series of five books revolving around various members of the same family.  I produced the first two of the series with a third under contract now.  Regina and I talk about these characters and the way I’ve drawn these characters vocally.

#47-The Book That Has It All!

This week we take a look at the first of a trilogy which has everything in it.  Looking for adventure?  How about romance?  What about humor?  And, then, there’s science fiction.  These are only the genre’s I talk about this week.  Next week, I’ll cover some more.

The book? Knighthawke, by Jerry Minchew, is a book like no other.  It’s well reviewed. And it was a ton of fun to produce.  Listen to some samples and see if you won’t get hooked on this amazing tale!

#46-Two Mysteries & an Adventure Tale

Non-Prophet Murders cover01 AStudyInScarletThe Destined_CoverThis week’s Audio Book of the Week is a great murder mystery full of satire and commentary about matters involving the way we Christians do “church”.  How do murder and church go together?  Check out Becky Wooley’s clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders. It’s a great listen which we sample in this podcast.

Last week, I announced that two new books were in production. This week, I have samples for you to hear from each of the books.

  • The very first Sherlock Holmes novel, A Study in Scarlett, is the first time Dr. Watson & Holmes work together.  Today’s sample is from the first meeting between Watson & Holmes.
  • The Destined is the first novel for authors Glenn Eidson and Brent Hurst.  Six people – five teens and their teacher – are endowed with special powers to become The Destined: those with the responsibility to save the world from some really bad stuff!  In today’s sample, we see how one learned of his special endowment.

Seasons of Change

This week’s podcast looks at the next two releases from Narration by George and looks back to a still-exciting-to-listen-to release from 2014.

  • A Study in Scarlett is the first of the Sherlock Holmes novels by Arthur Conan Doyle.  Production has begun on this novel with release expected in March.
  • The Destined is a new novel from two new authors, Glenn Eidson and Brent Hurst.  This young adult release is exciting for any age and will be an exciting listen.
  • Seasons of Change is an exciting listening experience.  The United States Government has collapsed.  Mobs and gangs are trying to remake the eastern part of the country into their turf.  Ordinary citizens are just trying to stay low and not be enslaved.  Michael is one of those just trying to be unnoticed.  Until….  You have to read the book to find the rest of the story!

#44-Upside Down Blessings

blessings copyThis week, we go back to the world of spiritual ideas to talk about “blessings.”  Each week, I end this podcast with an exhortation to “share you blessings with someone else.”  The question is, “What are our blessings?”  Are they the things we have?  The people we know?  The life we lead?  Jesus tells us about blessings and this lesson from my home church talks about those definitions in the context of Jesus’ birth.

Scriptures referenced in this lesson are:
