T. Lynn Ocean steps into Backstory this Saturday
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
Are you ready? Okay- here it comes.
More of your great music everything from Stevie Wonder to Train to Frank Sinatra to Black Crows to . . . well you get the idea.
More great stories about the writing life, the road trip life, the writing on the road trip life. Life in general when you are working from a cubicle 9-5 or from the back of your VW Van that you're hiding off the Natchez Trace.
And more great company as T. Lynn Ocean joins us to talk about it this Saturday 4-6 central time on 98.9lpfm Nashville or www.radiofreenashville.org world wide. T. Lynn Ocean
A freelance writer for 15 years, T. Lynn Ocean's work regularly appears in regional magazines nationwide. Her novels include Fool Me Once, Sweet Home Carolina, and the first installment of a mystery adventure series, Southern Fatality, featuring unconventional security specialist Jersey Barnes. Second in the series, Southern Poison was released September 08. Southern Fatality was reprinted in mass market paperback in August 08.
When not vacuuming up pet hair, T. Lynn pretends to be a photographer, enjoys cooking, and jumps at any chance to take a road trip in the name of doing research. T. Lynn is also a shooting sports enthusiast and a certified firearms safety instructor. She lives in Myrtle Beach, SC with her husband and a few furry critters.
About Southern Poison
Men from her past keep reappearing in her life, and hard-hitting security specialist Jersey Barnes can't seem to enjoy her early retirement. This time, it's her former handler Ashton, back from when she worked for the government. There has been some high frequency chatter by a suspected terrorist cell targeting the Sunny Point Ammunitions Depot, and they want Jersey to be a set of eyes and ears.
Unwittingly thrown back in action, Jersey unveils the suspected threat but meanwhile, discovers a much larger and much more sinister plot in the works. Southern Poison moves at break-neck speed as Jersey must save herself from assassins, stop the bad guys from distributing tainted cosmetics, keep her trouble-making father and his poker buddies out of jail, investigate a budding romance, and maybe—just maybe, retire.
And for those of you going digital which is just about everyone and their brother, you can pick us up via radio just ab
out anywhere in Middle Tn and beyond.

Backstory Live September 13, 2008
Wednesday, September 10, 2008
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.
