Songs That I Whisper

Songs That I Whisper

This week we move from multiple stories about individuals to stories about a family.  In a series of five books, we meet the Warren Family.  The first book I produced for Regina Puckett, Concealed in My Heart, tells the story of the romance between David and Charity Warren.  Songs That I Whisper introduces us to the first of their adult children Suzette and her beau, Seth Black.  We examine and sample both of these books in this podcast.  Next week, we’ll look at the other books in the series.

The-Sixth-Lobe-NEW-WEB-ICONWe continue sampling from Books That Go Together; stories and characters that are sooo good that they cannot be told in one novel.  Today, we start looking at the two book story of Danny Wilson in The Sixth Lobe and Born to Matter by Michael Miller.

In The Sixth Lobe we meet Danny and discover his condition – an extra lobe in his brain that allows him to read other people’s subconscious thoughts.  This is a problem for young Danny; an opportunity for the adult Danny; and it creates interest from several parties as his abilities are discovered.  How does he handle this situation?

Knighthawke-NEW-WEB-ICONKNIGHTHAWKE--VS-NEW-WEB-ICOWe continue looking at books-that-go-together by sampling more from the Knighthawke series.  Remember, books that go together are stories and characters that are so good that they cannot be confined to one novel.  It takes multiples.  The Knighthawke series is just one of the ones I’ve recorded.

Knighthawke tells the story of an American hero, Michael Webber.  In the second book, Knighthawke: Vanishing Shadows, Michael continues his quest for his identity and taking on missions for the Air Force, many involving international intrigue.  Michael continues with his one mission – find his family.

#65-Thinking of Clerical Crime

Non-Prophet Murders cover

This week’s podcast requires some thinking. Some books just set you thinking; even if they are murder mysteries.  In this case though, I’m not thinking about how the crimes might have been better executed.  I ask some questions of Christians about the reputation of the Church – the Bride of Christ.  All of this is stimulated by re-examining Becky Wooley’s book, Non-Prophet Murders.  Join me and let me know what you think with some feedback!  I’d love to hear from you!

Non-Prophet Murders coverBecky WooleyIf you listened last week, you know that we are going to feature some older podcasts as “re-casts” for the next four weeks while I move and re-build my studio in a new home.  This week’s re-cast features my friend and author, Becky Wooley.  As a minister’s wife and church secretary, she has the inside scoop on how churches run.  And she has taken that information and some great imagination to write the clerical crime novel, Non-Prophet Murders.   Grit along with three pastors find themselves the target of a killer.  Can Grit and his girlfriend, Grace, find the killer before he or she strikes again!  Full of humor, satire, and some scary moments, Non-Prophet Murders keeps you guessing “who-dun-it.”  Listen and find out how she does it!

#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!
