Guest lineup for the September 26th edition of "A Story to Tell"

First, we speak with British-born author Richard Graham-Yooll, author of the suspense novel "A Foreign Policy." The story is set in Boston, London and the Middle East, and the time is the near future. Saudi Arabia is undergoing tremors of unrest, but a US administration, comfortable with the status quo, wants no change. About the author: Mr. Graham-Yooll studied at Balliol College, Oxford University, graduating with an MA in English. Before moving to the USA, he worked for Lloyds of London and made several visits to Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, to advise local investors how to form an insurance company. The experience taught him valuable lessons in mutual incomprehension and misunderstanding, and provided useful background for "A Foreign Policy."

Next up was Kim Wallace, whose cutting-edge book series about gay and lesbian teens highlights the lives of two best friends who navigate the waters of high school together. The first two releases, "Erik & Isabelle Freshman Year at Foresthill High" and "Erik & Isabelle Sophomore Year at Foresthill High", revolve around lifelong best friends who share the joy and agony of adolescence. Conquering such issues as love relationships, personal trials, and the desire to make their world a better place, the protagonists sweep the reader up in their whirlwind journeys from their freshman to senior year.

Candace Salima tells us about the 1984 college football champion BYU Cougars in her new book, "13 and 0: Reflections of Champions". A college football team from the Rocky Mountains crowned the best in the land? The idea was unthinkable -- until BYU's 1984 team took the national championship. The Cougar's perfect season left traditional national college football powerhouses by the wayside, mesmerizing national media and energizing fans. That year has been the stuff of legends ever since. So what made that year unique -- and where are the players now? Find out that and more inside, with compelling synopses of each game ∙ Biographies of players and coaches, totaling thirty in number ∙ Dozens of photos, including current ones of players' families ∙ Player's thoughts on how the season changed their lives ∙ The positive ripples still seen as a result of that unforgettable experience

Melinda Robertson tackles the issue of teenage pregnancy in her new book, "Motherhood, What You Don't Know!" which is a story about a 15-year-old girl from a middle/upper class family that loser her virginity, gets pregnant (her first time having sex) and hides her pregnancy. The story highlights the trials and tribulations of Nicole's pregnancy and the impact it has on her family. Trying to juggle "motherhood" and the demands of high school classes is more than Nicole ever imagined. Her determination to have the baby she's carrying changes her life forever.

Finally, Dan Peterson introduces his new children's book, "Fergus, The Soccer Playing Colt." For over 30 years Dan A. Peterson has brought people and books together. Dan is a children’s book author, representative for various educational publishers and co-owner of the Alphabet Station, a parent-teacher center. Holding degrees in both Journalism and English from Brigham Young University, he has served as curricula evaluator for Behavioral Research Laboratories and the Dallas Independent School District, curricula developer for Thiokol Chemical Corporation, and editor for Harbrace Publications. Dan is the author of various freelance articles, with names such as “Reflections of a Suburban Cowboy”, and he also dabbles in writing narrative poetry.

 

Guest lineup for the September 19th edition of "A Story to Tell"

Is it possible that America could divide into four separate, autonomous countries? Listen to Global Talk Radio's September 19th edition of "A Story to Tell" to hear author Bruce Alan Humphrey discuss just such a futuristic scenario in his new fiction thriller, "Winds of Time." It's about a nation gone wild, and covert operative Tarl Cray has been told to contact the leaders of the other three breakaway territories. His orders are to convince them that their one-time great nation must reunite in a combined defense against invaders. The four splinters are: The Southeast (which has built itself on scientific and medical disciplines), the Northeast (agricultural), the Mid-West (also highly agricultural and peaceful), and the West (a feudalistic, power driven territory, much like "The Old West".)

Next up, we visit with Michael Kenworthy, author of "Close Calls with the Cops Volume 1" - a hilarious but true take on some of the most amazing things people have said to law enforcement officials to avoid getting a ticket. If you're like most people, you've probably had an encounter or two with the police. But you'll be shocked at what some people are willing to do to avoid a ticket. Some of their tactics are so brilliant that they'll make you slap your forehead and say, "Man, I wish that I'd thought of that." Others are so wacky and off the wall that you'll find yourself saying, "I could never do that." And some, well, some are just downright bizarre. For the first time ever, Mike has gathered the best of these stories in one amazing collection.

Then, we heard from Alina Oswald, author of "Poetry of the Soul", who is a well-published freelance writer and author interested in health/medicine, HIV/AIDS, alternative treatments, spirituality/healthy living, travel, education and also fiction/poetry.

Next up, Dr. John Mentink joined us to discuss his book, "Dance of the Poets", about two very different individuals who meet over the internet and decide to take a chance on trust, friendship and love. "Dance of the Poets" takes the reader on a unique journey through a second and imaginery novel, The Man From McKee, which the author has developed as an unusual literary tool, thereby creating a plot within a plot. It is through the revelations embedded in this second story that the relationship of the scientist and the caretaker grows and changes, leading them into observations about social change and the value of life.

Finally, meet Sue Dent. Her book, "Never Ceese", is about a skeptical vampire forced to team up with a determined werewolf whose long-held wish is to have her curse removed. Will they be able to free themselves of their curses at last... or will they suffer at the hands of a power-hungry stem cell researcher who seeks the immortality and fame their unique blood might give him? Tune in and see if Sue clues us in on the ending.

Guest lineup for the September 12th edition of "A Story to Tell"

Wild Heart Ranch is a publishing and toy company that designs, manufactures and markets products that are content driven. The Company’s focus is in producing high quality innovative products. The Company uses content to create character and brand awareness through its animated CD-Rom and web site, www.WildHeartRanch.com.

The website receives substantial internet traffic from online gamers and is building brand awareness for the line. The Company recently launched a new updated website, reflecting a new corporate identity and a growing list of brands.

Next, we heard from children's book author William L. Sawyers, about his most recent titles "What Am I?" and "What Am I? Bugs", written primarily for children from 5 to 8 years old. Riddles are on the front of each page with the answer on the back in color. On the next page, children can color the bug on top of the page and also fill in the missing bug parts on the bottom. It's ideal to be read to them by parents, siblings, grand parents or baby sitters. In return the child should try to guess the riddle.

A new book offering more than 90 amazing but true paranormal tales from around the world has just been released by Canadian author Martha Jette, who phoned into our program. Glimpses 2" It Could Happen To You is perhaps the first such comprehensive book covering every topic from ghosts and hauntings, to angels, visions, dreams, near death experiences, premonitions, reincarnation, ghost hunters, haunted homes and sites, dangers of Ouija boards and much more. Written by Hamilton, Ontario, Canada author, Martha Jette, "Glimpses 2" is the culmination of nine months of research and writing. Ms. Jette is a journalism graduate with many years of magazine and newspaper editing experience. Since retiring due to health problems in 1996, this Canadian grandmother has written three books and is currently working on a fourth.

Finally, Debbie Alferio (author of "A Forever Kind of Love") is a lifelong resident of Northern Ohio. Her interest in writing this novel came after a dream she had one night involving the character of Mitch. Feeling inspired by this dream, she began to write and now views it as her passion. Feeling it important to write in a way that readers could easily relate to, she made each character very realistic and down-to-earth, instilling her own importance of high moral and family values into each one. The relationships between characters, the surprises revealed throughout the story, and the humorous and heartwarming approach to each situation they face makes Debbie’s writing both interesting and entertaining. This is her first novel in the series. She feels that long stories are the best stories. “When you are absorbed in a good book, you don’t want it to end. I like to give that satisfaction to my readers by keeping the excitement going just a little longer.” Also, having lost several relatives to cancer as well as personally knowing many others touched by the disease, Debbie chose to donate a portion of her profits from the sale of each book to the American Cancer Society. In doing so, she hopes that her novel will not only bring enjoyment to those who read it, but will aid in finding a cure for this deadly disease.

Guest lineup for the September 5th edition of "A Story to Tell"

(Los Angeles, CA)  September 5, 2005  --  In just a few days, America will pause to remember the horrific events of September 11, 2001. Paul Landis, author of "A Real 9/11 Commission" joins us to discuss some still unanswered questions about the attack on the Pentagon. In his book, he shows the reader evidence that a Boeing 757 did not and could not have hit the Pentagon. He asks why were reports, which were shown live on TV the morning of the attack, ignored? (These reports included "a plane with no windows" hitting the North Tower, statements by TV newspeople of bombs going off after the planes had struck, and statements by NYC firefighters of "demolition" charges causing the collapse of the towers. "A Real 9/11 Commission" gives the reader the opportunity to review the charges and evidence, and to participate in rendering their own decision.

Sherry Ellis introduced us to her wonderful new children's book, entitled "That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN", which is written for all those bleary-eyed families who sincerely believe that they will never again enjoy a full nighty of sleep. Seen through the eyes of an exhausted sibling, this book is guaranteed to bring a smile to even the most fatigued members of a sleep-deprived household. Can you count the number of nights you slept after your baby was born? Do you remember - or are you now suffering through - the cries that can mean anything from "change me" to "I'm hungry" to "time to come and play with me"? Sherry understands the world of the sleep-deprived and felt compelled to write a book that might make every family's sleepless nights bearable.

From Syndey, Australia, we spoke with 20-year-old author Sarah Champion about her first published book, "Untouchable". Sarah has always been a fan of science fiction, but she always felt that something was missing: female lead characters. "Untouchable" is her answer to this problem, introducing two female lead characters.

Stella Nnanabu joined us to discuss her miraculous recovery from near-death and her new book, "A Walk Through The Valley of Death". When she was in a hospital, recovering from a serious illness and emergency surgery, she thought a great deal about her life and per profound relationship with God. As her health improved, so did her desire to share that faith with others.

Finally, S.J. Reisner visited with us to discuss her new book, "Left Horse Black", the first in a series of fantasy novels about the survival of four warring sorcerer factions. She also has one non-fiction book, numerous articles, and several published short stories to her credit. She started her writing career producing clips for newspapers and over the years has been the editor for various newsletters, two small press magazines, and an independent publisher.
