Andre Portes live this Saturday June 21 4-6pm CST

Thursday, June 19, 2008


Join us on Saturday as we talk with Debut Novelist Andre Portes on what its like to be the new kid on the block with a hot new work of fiction that's already going to big screen and how she landed the Timberking guy as her dance partner at that big Plupwood Queen high hair ball event in TEXAS!


Andrea Portes grew up in rural Nebraska, later shuffling between Illinois, Texas, Brazil, North Dakota and North Carolina before attending Bryn Mawr College. She received her MFA from UC San Diego and became a script reader for Paramount Pictures. She now lives in Los Angeles and is a nightlife columnist for several websites. Hick is her first novel.

AND IT GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS:


A keen-eyed, 13-year-old girl

leaves both her bare-handed past

and her dark likely future behind,

takes to the road, and carves a

new dream out of her boundless

will, her fearlessness, and her

newborn desires.

More Great Music, Great Stories, And Great Company from the open road on the radio!

Bestselling author Barry Eisler on the radio - 6.14.08

Wednesday, June 11, 2008




Backstory features bestselling author and former CIA agent, Barry Eisler this Saturday.



Barry pulls up a chair and openly discusses the writing process, the wild success of his John Rain series, the new movie in the works, and the political landscape in this election year.






Here's a little on the latest book from ET:
"Once upon a time, things were easy for John Rain. Or as easy as life could be for an assassin. Yet now, in his sixth outing, Rain's formed too many attachments, and they're causing him grief. His pal—a Marine sniper named Dox—has been kidnapped. Unless Rain extinguishes three specific people in a short amount of time, Dox is a goner. Meanwhile, Rain's girl, Delilah, is urging him to give up his deadly and itinerant life, the only one he's known. With a mix of nifty black-ops scenes and moments of emotional explosiveness, Eisler proves himself to be as coolly efficient a writer as his protagonist is a killer." —Entertainment Weekly

For aspiring writers I highly recommend that you visit Barry's site and check out his informative words of wisdom and list of links. I think that its one of the snazziest writer/reader sites out there and with plenty of photos for those who love to travel vicariously.

More great music with everything from George Jones to Gov't Mule, more great stories, and great company. Now what a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon!

"Mystical and magically written, Saints In Limbo, is a beautiful novel from start to finish. With vivid characters and lush language, readers will find themselves thinking of Augusta Trobaugh's Resting in the Bosom of the Lamb. Fans of River Jordan will be thrilled with this latest work."
— Michael Morris, author of Slow Way Home
