Episode 8: From Screen to Page Part 1

I’m pleased to announce the release of the first of my three-part conversation with award-winning Canadian screenwriter and children’s author, Don Truckey (click link above or below).

Don, whose credits include the television series, Street Legal and Urban Angel, and the movies, Net Worth and Chicks with Sticks, discusses the differences in the crafts of writing prose and penning a screenplay. He’s also the author of the children’s series, The Adventures of Caraway Kim.

Don and I worked together on some TV pitches and scripts; he’s funny, talented, quick thinking and very professional. Plus, he wrote a movie about women’s hockey!

Tune in to learn Don’s simple but insightful tip on how to discover the voice and thought processes of another writer. I’m gonna give it a try. (duration ~20 minutes)

This episode’s showcase song by Glynne Turner is a lovely ballad, called Meet Me.

Episode 8: Still Missing Part 3

I’m delighted to announce the release of the last of my three-part conversation (click link above or below) with Vancouver Island’s best-selling novelist, Chevy Stevens, author of the terrifying and unsettling debut thriller, STILL MISSING. (duration ~18 minutes)

I met Chevy earlier this year at a book event in Victoria, BC, and was impressed by her intelligence and self-deprecating humour.

A publishing phenom, with a six-figure advance, 150,000 hard-cover first print run, sales to over 20 countries and a movie deal to her credit, Chevy reveals why she chose to use a nom de plume and how she overcame the challenges of her writing process.

Plus, discover what finger painting, word counts and New York’s famous Flatiron building have in common with the engaging Nanaimo novelist. And, get a sneak preview of Chevy’s next two thrillers, Never Knowing and Always Listening.

Also, in honour of Remembrance Day, this episode’s showcase song by Glynne Turner is the very moving military tune Battlefield.
