The Roman’s Quest Interview – part 1

Anne Baxter-CampbellRomans Quest cover 1DSCF1381-WEBThis week, I interviewed Anne Baxter Campbell and Trish Horner about the latest Narration by George Audio Book release, The Roman’s Quest.  Anne is the author of this very fine novel.  Trish was the narrator for the female characters and the female point-of-view narratives.  We talked about the novel and about the faith in God that is evident throughout and central to the book.  You’ll hear examples of everything mentioned.  There is so much to hear that this is only the first part of the interview.  Next week, for part two, Anne interviews Trish and me.

#13-Historical Novels 2

The Outlaw Unchained - Assassins EverywhereThe west of the mid-1800’s was mired in conflict over the issue of slavery.  Against this backdrop, C. Q. Scafidi brings us The Outlaw Unchained: Bleeding Kansas.  This conflict plays a role in this action filled novel.  And Scafidi shares much about Bleeding Kansas.  Never heard of it?  Some background and some tantalizing excerpts from the novel are featured in this podcast.

#11-Historical Novels

DOI #4-CoverLet Freedom Ring coverHistorical novels provide us with information, drama, interesting settings and fascinating characters.  Not to mention, that we actually can learn something of actual events.  In this podcast, I examine and play samples from two of the historical novels which I have recorded.  From the days of the founding of our country, we’ll ask the question, “Would you sign?” from the Declaration of Independence Series.  From the troubled Civil War era, we’ll watch the surprising actions of a sutler in Murray Pura’s series, Let Freedom Ring.  John Hancock was written by Joseph Max Lewis.  The Sutler of Petersburg was penned by Joy Ross Davis.

A special note about this podcast.  You’ll hear authentic music from Revolutionary War times and Civil War times in the background.  From Revolutionary Times, you’ll hear the ballad “Free America.”  From Civil War times you’ll hear, “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”, “The Bonny Blue Flag”, and “Shenandoah.”
