good books

On this special episode, author Jesse D'Angelo RETURNS to discuss his latest masterpiece, the "Skinner" special edition!

About the Book
The year is 1327. Benedictines in a wealthy Italian abbey are suspected of heresy, and Brother William of Baskerville arrives to investigate. When his delicate mission is suddenly overshadowed by seven bizarre deaths, Brother William turns detective. His tools are the logic of Aristotle, the theology of Aquinas, the empirical insights of Roger Bacon—all sharpened to a glistening edge by wry humor and a ferocious curiosity. He collects evidence, deciphers secret symbols and coded manuscripts, and digs into the eerie labyrinth of the abbey, where “the most interesting things happen at night.”

About the Author
Umberto Eco was an Italian writer of fiction, essays, academic texts, and children's books. A professor of semiotics at the University of Bologna, Eco’s brilliant fiction is known for its playful use of language and symbols, its astonishing array of allusions and references, and clever use of puzzles and narrative inventions. His perceptive essays on modern culture are filled with a delightful sense of humor and irony, and his ideas on semiotics, interpretation, and aesthetics have established his reputation as one of academia’s foremost thinkers.

About the Show

When is the right time to publish?

And, can a “normal” (and busy) person like me actually write a book? 

Writer, speaker, teacher Caroline Cook has always seen herself as a writer, but the time was never quite right. Caroline is a regular person, with a job and with kids and with lots of responsibilities on her plate. Now, as her kids start leaving the nest, she has found an opportunity to share a message that’s been on her heart for a long time. 

Caroline is taking her shot, and so can you. Your story is worth it.

Everyone has that one person (or people) in their lives: the people who have made life difficult. They might be loved, hated, or just inconveniently around, and you might find it hard to write about them honestly. 

How do you write about the people who have hurt you?

In this episode, author and writing coach Allison Fallon covers:

• The narrative role of "villains" in your life
• Legal ramifications of writing about real-life people
• What gets in the way as we're writing about true stories
• Three important tips when writing about your villain

If you're writing a book for the first time, chances are you're hoping to traditionally publish. 

What most first-time authors don't know is that there are several paths to publishing success out there, and self publishing is actually quite common (and can be quite profitable). 

In this episode, author and writing coach Allison Fallon 
talks with Julie Broad, an Amazon Overall #1 Best Selling Author, an International Book Award Winner, and founder of Book Launchers. 

They'll cover:

• Surprising advantages to self publishing
• The biggest challenge for self-published authors and the common struggles of traditionally published authors
• The difference between self publishing, hybrid publishing and vanity presses
• How you can know what publishing path is right for you
