• Episode 52: A Time to Thrill – Conversation with Aime Austin – featuring Lisa Cheek
    Nov 1 2024

    Lisa and I met in a kitchen in South Pasadena. A few months ago, I signed up for Happy Women Dinners, events that feature women-focused topics. First, I met Lyz Lenz as she discussed her book about divorce. This month it was a talk from Bonnie Wan about getting clear on what we want in our lives. Great talks and as a bonus, I get to meet interesting women like Lisa Cheek. Her debut book, Sit, Cinderella, Sit will release in January 2025.

    Let’s chat. I have *so* many questions.

  • Episode 51: A Time to Thrill – Conversation with Aime Austin – featuring Teruko Nakajima
    Oct 1 2024
    After twenty-plus years in Los Angeles, I get a lot of invites to various shows—a friend of a friend sent over a link to a one-woman show. The caveat? It was… One night only. And…I was jet-lagged having just flown in from Europe. Fortunately, I live about five minute’s drive from the Hudson Theatre and frequent it often enough to know where to park. (Critical to LA plans). That night I had the pleasure of watching Teruko Nakajima dance her way through her life story Made in America. It was so amazing, interesting, and awe-inspiring that I immediately slid into […]

    I can’t wait for you to hear my conversation with Dee J Adams. She’s a modern-day renaissance woman.

    It’s August and in Episode 49, I have a great conversation with crime author Kellye Garrett. Out of the gate, Kellye’s first book won ALL the awards. From cozy, humorous novels, in Missing White Woman, she’s turned to a more serious book dealing with social media’s influence of a murder investigation. We talk books, and publishing, all while keeping it honest. Let’s chat. I have *so* many questions.
