**Scheduling is now closed.**
We’ve been asked about this information, so here it is. Gena and Jill will be filming Author Talk on Tuesday, July 14th. If you are interested in being “interviewed” for AT, contact Beth Wilson at:
ATManager @ authortalk.tv (no spaces)
Space is limited, so contact ASAP! Authors are asked to cover expenses.
Gena and I like to point out as often as possible that we think it’s no coincidence (REALLY, IT’S US) that after interviewing with Author Talk, PC Cast, Kresely Cole, Sharon Sala and Rachel Vincent all hit the New York Times Bestseller list.
Let’s see if we can help our new friend, Nora Roberts, reach that same achievement (that’s just so elusive). We visited with her last summer, but really we can’t roll this footage enough we just want to help her out.
Wedding photographer Mackensie “Mac” Elliot is most at home behind the camera, but her focus is shattered moments before an important wedding rehearsal when she bumps into the bride-to-be’s brother…an encounter that has them both seeing stars.
A stable, safe English teacher, Carter Maguire is definitely not Mac’s type. But a casual fling might be just what she needs to take her mind off bridezillas. Of course, casual flings can turn into something more when you least expect it. And Mac will have to turn to her three best friends—and business partners—to see her way to her own happy ending.

As a mentor to the both of us, Merline had EXACTING standards. I’m not really sure what that means, but Gena and I share them!
When not correcting me on the proper way to perform a sit-up, Merline is a USA Today Bestselling Author. Her new book, The Hello Girl, hits bookstands April.
All that’s standing in the way of the Dunbars’ divorce is Brian Dunbar’s unwillingness to sign the papers. And though his wife, Lieutenant Colonel Anne Dunbar, loves him as madly as she did on their wedding day eleven years ago, their differences—intensified by the pressures of career and family—are irreconcilable. Or so she thinks.
When a long-lost file lands on Anne’s desk, she learns some unexpected lessons about love and trust from the remarkable story of a World War I “Hello Girl” telephone operator. Marie Reynaud fought valiantly for love—a love immortalized in diary entries that transcended war and time. A love inspiring enough to save Anne’s marriage?

I have been noticing for awhile something just seemed to be off about the last few Author Talks. A strange pattern was forming…you can see it here in the Roxanne St. Claire video as well as the Deidre Knight interview.
Then it hit me – Gena Showalter never left. It’s like we’re performing an author sandwich! No wonder Gena has begun to think of Author Talk as her show. Glad we could clear that up with Candace’s interview. Gena is mostly off stage where she belongs does her best work.
Candace should be a familiar face around Author Talk. She often does our camera work, and has even fixed the tripod. She was also featured in our Romance Novel Crime segments.
Of course we repay her efforts by making her do the camera work on her own video, and interviewing her in bed (we’re taking names hotel chain that we choose not to blame even though it was most likely our fault).
The Caruthers sisters are heiresses with privilege, wealth, beauty, and brains. But these party girls have something extra. As the Guardian Keys, possessors of an ancient family secret, they hold the fate of the world in their hands.
Gillian (great name by the way), the eldest, is a sensation in the art world— this world, that is. In her other world she’s the Assassin, a knockout who snuffs out dimension-jumpers who foul up her personal space. She never expected to join forces with one. But when a plague of murderous demons plunges the earth in darkness, she has no choice but to get a little help from a being who knows his stuff.
You can buy The Demon King and I here, and visit Candace on the web here.
Gena and I have two words from this Author Talk: Prop Wine
Eternity has become a prison for Ajax Petrakos. Centuries after he and his Spartan brothers made their bargain for immortality, Ajax struggles to maintain his warrior’s discipline. His only source of strength is his hope that he will soon meet the woman once foretold to him–the other half of his soul, Shay Angel.
Ajax searches for his destined mate on the haunted streets of modern-day Savannah, but he isn’t the first to find her. Shay, the youngest of a powerful demon-hunting clan, can see the monsters that stalk the steamy Southern nights–an ability that draws the deadly attention of Ajax’s worst enemy. As Shay and Ajax race to solve a chilling prophecy–one that could spell Ajax’s death if they don’t succeed–a fated passion arises, threating to sweep away everything in its path.
