Stories, Music, Readings, and News on Literary Happenings Around the World.

Friday, February 13, 2009

Today's word is evolve because aren't we all moving from one stage of something into another? Nothing to do with creation - just to do with living and learning and growing in the spaces we have to do such things. And just in the same way - be on the look out for new things happening on our radio show and scene. New things - good times - noodle salad.

Our apologies to those of you who missed Shellie's interview because of technical problems at the station. Tech stuff happens. And ours due to actually upgrading the system but no worries - people are on it! The latest update says - all bugs have been slung into the outer reaches of the universe to here we go . . .

In the meantime, we'll relax with some great music, share some current events and happenings in the literary world and offer up some sage advice on living and writing. That is - we just had some sage advice around here somewhere.

Kudo's went out this week to The Library Fairy for snagging those great people at the National Storytelling Network organization for sponsoring her passionate work in spreading the love of reading to children.

This week's program featured a reading from Janis Owen's new book Cracker Kitchen - and we selected her Armadillo Recipe to share with listeners. Janis will be in Nashville at Davis-Kidd on February 18 and you DO NOT WANT TO MISS this wild storyteller! It's free. It's fun. It's on your calendar right? Also read a little bit of Shellie's book over the air, Suck In Your Stomach and Put on Some Color. 

And we did a hat's off tribute and history lesson on that late, great Dashiell Hammett.

So if you weren't tuned in this week to River Jordan Radio - you missed a good time. Now, stay tuned for upcoming episodes featuring the latest from authors like Silas House, and many more.
Stay tuned for full Spring Calendar of appearing guests.

"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
