-- Three authors will join "A Story to Tell" on Monday, December 12th.
First up, Patricia Stirnkorb of Journey Stone Creations, LLC, talks about their
young children's book, "Stranger Danger", which has an accompanying CD.
"Stranger Danger" creates a meaningful way for parents (and grandparents) to
talk to their 2-8 year old children aboutpersonal safety. This book emphasizes
the approach of running away, going to get help and telling their parents or
another adult in charge. It also clearly identifies the fact that "Stranger
Danger" also includes people they may already know.
Second, Monica Slovenz introduces her children's book, "Billy's Differences",
which tells the story of young Billy Beaver, who experiences heartache and
frustration as he searches for a playment. Billy blames his sadness on the fact
that he can't seem to find any friends that partake in similar activites, until
he meets Polly Platypus, who teaches him the beauty of being an individual as
she celebrates her own unique qualities.
Third, Alan Ferguson enjoys writing about tremendous reversals of fortune in his
works. His current book, "The Dummy", is no exception. His novel follows a
tormented boy from childhood to his new-found self in adulthood, nearly killed
in the process. Greg's (the protagonist) triumphant story describes an underdog
who finally achieve the impossible.
Then... on Tuesday, December 13th, Doug Crill joins the program for an exclusive
interview. Doug will visit with listeners for the entire hour, introducing "Cry
Wolf" - the first in a four-part graphic novel series. The story has been
approved as a teaching text by the University of New Mexico, and because his
publisher (Open Book Press) was chosen as the official graphic novel publisher
for the 2005 American Music Awards, a copy of "Cry Wolf" was included as part of
the gift baskets presented to the performers, such as The Rolling Stones, Gwen
Stefani, and Sheryl Crow just to mention a few.
Finally... on Thursday, December 15th, Angela Peabody will appear exclusively
for the entire 1-hour program to discuss her new book, "Exiled". She will share
a very personal story of the atrocities she witnessed first-hand in Liberia in
1980, before fleeing to the United States. Ms. Peabody has revealed a wealth of
talent in her poignant description of the violent coup d'etat, which changed her
life forever.
Guest lineup for December 5th's edition
of "A Story to Tell"
(Los Angeles, CA) December 5, 2005
-- First up, we spoke with Brian Smith, who tackles the subjects of
spousal and child abuse in "Losing Innocence". His book is gaining recognition
as a fast-paced, heart-felt, emotional raw novella, and it's written with raw
honesty that only someone who has experienced abuse can express. "Losing
Innocence" is about betrayal, manipulation and how easily innocence is lost,
delving into the ugly, harsh realities of abuse captivating the reader from the
first page to the last.
Next, how many times have you thought you saw someone or something out of the
corner of your eye, but when you turned to get a better look there was nothing
there? Cindy Kueczynski wrote "The Spirits I See - Discovery of a Medium" to
help those of us who see, hear or feel spirits. If you know someone who has
these experiences often, this may be a great discussion for them to listen to.
Then, we have a fun-filled discussion with former park ranger, Jim Burnett,
author of the hilarious-but-true "Hey Ranger! True Tales of Humor and
Misadventure from America's National Parks". Jim explains there are several
meanings to the words "Hey Ranger!", including: "Hi, how are you doing?" to
"Help, come quick" to the more embarrassing, "Oops, I sure didn't expect to see
you here!" Listen in to hear some of the funniest things he experienced in 30
years as a park ranger.
Denis Wojcik wrote "CrossRoads" about an adventure that begins in the year 1950
an spans over a period of thirteen years. The principal characters are a
politican, an actress, an organized crime boss, a top law enforcement official
and a professional baseball player. Ironically enough, the story line meshes
together when these very different characters' roads in life come to cross.
Finally, we spoke with award-winning artist and host of the television series,
"Give Your Walls Some Soul", Shannon Grissom. She's also released a children's
book entitled "Monkey Made of Sockies" and explains the personal story of how
this book came to be. Interestingly, shannon inherited her mother's sock monkey
after her passing and was inspired by the monkey's joyful smile. Listen to find
out how this turned into a joyous picturebook for children.
