Hello Backstory Friends -

Backstory is back live and large for the Fall.

This Saturday we have a new selection of great music, great stories, and great company.

Author Geoff Gluckman will be joining us to discuss his new novel, Deadly Exchange.

To write this spy thriller, Geoffrey M. Gluckman drew from his training as a federal agent and recruitment by the CIA, as well as experience as an exercise physiologist and international lecturer. Currently, he writes features for print publications in the United States, Canada, and Australia, such as Iron Horse Magazine, Law Enforcement Technology, Credit Union Business, and Mini Rider. His poetry and fiction, Unicorn Pain II, Broken Horns, have been featured in several anthologies.

We'll discuss the writing process, the publishing business, the marketing game and the other things that Geoff is amazingly, surprisingly, known for. I first met Geoff in Jefferson, Texas where he went on to dance a crazy gig in disguise and walk away with the Timber King Crown so trust me when I say he is a man of many talents!

Book Jacket Read from a Deadly Exchange
What if the company you work for could control your mind?
Only weeks remain before Lectures and More, Inc., a company representing the world’s top motivational speakers, launches its latest technological advance: a mind-altering radio frequency device sold as a work-site enhancement product. The deceptively altruistic Ulrich Rogers spearheads the company and its reeducation programs, incorporating the presentational prowess and charm of Jennifer Chance, a world-renowned motivational speaker. But as the lies that make up her life begin to unravel like threads on a poorly sewn garment, it becomes evident that nothing is as it seems.
Jennifer alone holds the key to unveil Rogers’s plot to hold America hostage using Lectures and More’s newest device. Plunged into a twisting chase to escape the clutches of Rogers and his former espionage henchmen, Jennifer seeks help from Frank Revere, an enigmatic former government counterintelligence agent. But the question of who to trust continues to dangle in Jennifer’s mind. Thousands of lives hang in the balance, but a deeper deception lurks in the shadows …
Brimming with suspense, danger, and mystery, Deadly Exchange conjures up a blend of the ordinary, the arcane, the seen, and the unseen in the search for truth.

And stay tuned in next week as author of Crazy in Alabama, Mark Childress, will join us to discuss his newest novel, One Mississippi and ohhhhh, about a thousand other things like the new re release of his first novel, New Orleans, Habitat for Humanity, the fact that he SWEARS he maintains his own website and more.

Don't miss it as we roll our magic carpet of new shows out for the season and work our way right into a totally, real, live show broadcast from extraordinary, Southern Festival of the Books in Nashville, October 2008! (And make a note now to be a real, live audience member!
