Thursday, January 7, 2010



River Jordan Live kicks off another literary jam session Wednesday 1.13.10 12-2 pm with authors Silas House, Janna McMahan, and Holly Goodard Jones.

The New Year started with a blast last week as Listeners emailed in their resolutions while we were on the air and it was great fun sharing them. We shared interviews with great authors Sonny Brewer, Janis Owens, Darnell Arnoult and even pulled one out of the vault with Clyde Edgerton and ran that one as well. You can click on the podcast link at right to listen to the interview with Clyde and the others will be uploaded very soon.


It was all mixed in with a little special music from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Mark Brousard, and more. We started our new segment - Walking The Blog - where we feature a blog or two each week to take it off the page, and out for a little airtime. Last week was The Happy Book Blog and this week we share a special blog on how one writer hit Rock Bottom.

Have a great blog you've written or read recently - well do share with us and maybe it could be one of the blogs taking a walk in the near future. You can always email your comments and literary links of interest to river@riverjordanlive.com


Tune in this week for more of same good stuff. Silas House waxes Kentuckian on writing Eli the Good, his special, spiritual side, and the unholiness of mountain top removal for coal mining.

Janna McMahan discusses her novels, The Ocean Inside an d Calling Home, and she shares news of her upcoming writing project set in Austin, Texas.


Holly Goodard Jones talks about her inside take on the male perspective in her collection of short stores - Girl Trouble. Stories featured in Girl Trouble originally appeared in New Stories from the South.

We'll share news of what is happening in the world of books, road trips, and more on Wednesday, January 13, 12-2 pm CST at WRFN 107.1 Nashville.

"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."
