Alice loves to come up with new plots, new characters, and new settings. Now she's ready to write in a new genre. When she isn't scheming in her brain or on virtual paper,  ,She likes to watch movies, listen to music, attend live concerts and theater. She loves being in nature, especially if it involves being near or on water.

She lives just north of Chicago and just west of Lake Michigan with her husband, her guide dog,  Two cats, and another dog.

** Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**

We know you will enjoy this entertaining and informative interview with author Jim Hartsell. Jim writes a series of books for adults called the Boone series. He also has a group of books for children. Tune in to hear us discuss a variety of topics including his books, diversity issues, marketing, independent publishing, and the writing craft. We know you will be pleased with this episode.

About Jim Hartsell

Like most of us, there are many descriptors that apply to me: husband, father, grandfather, voracious reader, and average hammer dulcimer player are a few of them. I also write, concentrating on Southern fiction and children’s books. I have deep roots in East Tennessee; I’ve always lived here, and the farm my sister and I currently own has been in our family for five generations. My immediate family consists of my wife of 43 years, my two children, their spouses, and six grandchildren. My wife and I share our home on House Mountain with a cat and two shelter dogs. My professional career was in education, working with teens in a variety of settings. The three decades I spent with teens who have been characterized by society as losers at best and dangerous at worst taught me much about resilience, strength, and bravery, and helped form the concept of the main character in the Boone series. I have a beautiful family, all the necessities of life plus a few luxuries, a fine circle of friends, and time to write books, play music, and enjoy the moments as they present themselves one by one. By any measure that matters to me, I am a very wealthy man.

Spencer Quinn.

** Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**

In this fast-paced episode, best selling author, Peter Abrahams aka Spencer Quinn  is our guest on Writing Works Wonders . Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the author of the chat and Bernie series in addition to many other standalone books.   Anyone who can write with a dog as a narrator, is sure to provide a fun and informative interview for readers and writers alike. insights on writing, alternate narration methods, and plenty of creativity and inspiration included in this episode!   About Peter Abrahams aka Spencer Quinn   As a boy, I read voraciously, almost anything I could get my hands on, but I enjoyed adventure stories the most. I wasn’t one of those unhappy kids who loses himself in books. I was a pretty happy kid who did it. We had a summer cottage in Quebec. My grandmother would come up on weekends, bringing me a kind of popcorn I liked and a stack of books. There would be famous ones, like Treasure Island, and not-so-famous ones, like Red Pete the Ruthless. I can still recall the last scene of that one – Red Pete, buried up to the neck between the high and low tide lines, surrounded by his stolen gold, waves lapping closer. **   Can’t you just hear the hiss of the bubbles?     I was also interested in words themselves. Probably like you, I hated to stop reading if I thought I’d pretty much understood a new word from the context, but some persnickety thing in me usually insisted I look it up. (“Persnickety,” for example, seems to derive from the Scots dialect. Nice to find out I’ve got some Scot in me, probably a surprise to my family.)     I began by writing stand-alones, meaning non-series novels – such as Lights Out, The Fan (filmed by Tony Scott, with a cast including Robert De Niro), Oblivion, and End of Story. It was during this period that Stephen King – uh-oh! I just came close to quoting from my own reviews. Wasn’t I brought up better than that?   A little later, I also started writing for younger readers, beginning with the Echo Falls series, centered around thirteen-year old Ingrid Levin-Hill. I took advantage of having four kids of my own – all that raw material! – plus the fact that, yes, I’d once been thirteen myself. Speaking of family – the most important thing in my life – my wife and children are the only people who read my books while they’re being written. I put each new chapter on the kitchen table, and any family member so inclined can read, comment, and even revise. No one holds back! The holding back gene didn’t catch on here. ** **   I live on Cape Cod with my wife – all the kids up and grown now – and dogs Audrey and Pearl. Dogs are a big part of our life and there’s no way I could have written Chet and Bernie without them. Audrey and Pearl are the kind of researchers writers dream of, showing up every day and working for treats.

How do you become a voice actor without sight? We know you will enjoy this exciting discussion and episode as we learn about the opportunities, details, and process of producing audiobooks and more.

About Annie

Annie Donnellon holds a bachelor’s degree in Vocal Music Performance from Northern Kentucky University. For many years, people have often described her voice as joyful, lyrical, and upbeat—an ideal combination for the genres of religious inspiration, self-help, children’s, and literary fiction.

As an actor, Annie has been known to play the motherly roles: Marilla in “Anne Of Green Gables,” Constance in Lillian Hellman’s “The Autumn Garden,” and Titania, the fairy queen in Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Her authoritative yet lyrical vocal qualities are well-suited for children’s and young adult literature. Annie’s mission as a narrator is to give both children and young adults the thrilling audiobook experience that she herself received growing up. When not narrating audiobooks, Annie can be found cooking, writing, or doing a variety of exercises.

** Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**

What a special treat! An exciting interview with Margaret Mizushima! This accomplished author of the Timber Creek K9 mysteries series brings insight, laughter and encouragement to writers of all levels. Enjoy this episode as readers and writers ask questions and learn about what inspires her and how she has developed her craft of writing over her years of success.

About Margaret Mizushima

Margaret Mizushima is the author of the award-winning and internationally published Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries. Active within the writing community, Margaret serves as past president for the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Mystery Writers of America, was elected the 2019 Writer of the Year by Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and is also a member of Northern Colorado Writers, Sisters in Crime, and Women Writing the West. She and her husband recently moved from their home in Colorado to the Pacific Northwest.

Margaret was born in Kansas and grew up on cattle ranches in Texas and Colorado. Her childhood summers were spent either on horseback herding cows or nestled in the crook of a tree reading a library book..

Due to volunteer experiences in high school, she pursued a degree in Speech Pathology, which she received from Colorado State University after completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Northern Colorado.

Later, she married a veterinarian, and they have two daughters. Margaret worked as a speech therapist in an acute care hospital before establishing her own agency. After she sold her company, she decided to study the art and craft of fiction writing. What a wondrous world this opened up for me.

Margaret says, “Whereas before, I’d been driven by the science of speech, language, and communication disorders, I could now focus on artistic creativity with language. I could also use my years of experience working with people to create characters that readers seemed to enjoy. Since I’m an avid crime fiction reader and crime documentary watcher, mystery writing seemed like the way to go.”

In addition to reading, Margaret enjoys yoga and hiking in the Colorado high country.

** Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**

Zoomng in from Wales, we have a a very special guest author interview, Victoria Zigler. An ACB member, Tori will discuss her many short stories, books, and poetry writing, which span children’s stories, fantasy, science fiction and more. Toi understands the“pesky“ issues of editing or writing work, but she also has experienced loss of sight across her lifetime. Join us as we discuss her work, as well as the approaches and strategies she uses for success.

Based on her exciting life, we know this will be an informative and inspirational event! We look forward to you participating with us and bringing your questions.

About Victoria Zigler “Tori” (information adapted from her website)

Tori says, “I’m a blind vegan poet and children's author, who was born and raised in the shadow of the Black Mountains of Wales, UK, spent some time living in Alberta, Canada, and Hastings, England, UK – returning to Wales in between.

“Despite spending far too much time in hospital, and eventually losing my sight to Congenital Glaucoma, I’ve been writing since I was old enough to know how, with no plans to stop any time soon. I have a long list of publications to my name, including several poetry collections, **manny children’s stories, a story in the sci-fi and fantasy anthology Wyrd Worlds II, three poems in the Poetry Treasures anthology, and a poem in the Stand Together charity anthology.

“Vegan due to both a love for animals and dairy allergy, as well as an Eclectic Pagan, I would describe myself as a combination of Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood from the Harry Potter books: Hermione’s thirst for knowledge and love of books, combined with Luna’s wandering mind and alternative way of looking at the world. I have a wide variety of interests, designed to exercise both the creative and logical sides of my brain, which I dabble in at random depending on what I feel like doing at any given time, and am most likely to be found playing with my petkids, involved in calls with the ACB Community, curled up somewhere with a cup of tea and a book, working on some kind of craft project, or trying to keep one step ahead of those pesky typo fairies while writing my own books.”

Tori is now back to living in Wales, along with my Canadian husband, Kelly, and our petkids – a West Highland White Terrier named Lilie, a Cavapoo named Logan, and a Hermann’s Tortoise named Artemis.

Her books are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and smashwords.

Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King

AMANDA CABOT Master Author of Inspirational Books/Romance

Enjoy this opportunity to hear Amanda Cabot, the popular author of inspirationa fiction, romance novels, and trilogy series.

Discover insights on writing process and strategies! Wonderful discussion with her readers and encouragement for author. Read below about Amanda‘s diverse background and wonderful humorous perspective on writing and you will know this interview is a delightful experience for our listeners!

• Amanda Cabot’s books are listed as best-sellers in Amazon, Kindle, and as most-read in NLS Talking Books/BARD. • Amanda is widely acclaimed for her romance trilogy series of which she has published 36. She also writes other freestanding novels. • A few of Amanda‘s trilogy titles include, o Cimarron Creek o Mesquite Springs o Texas Crossroads

Amanda says,

“At least in my mind, it's only a small step from being an avid reader to wanting to be an author. From the time I was seven, I was convinced I should be a writer. The type of writing varied with the seasons. For a few months I fancied myself a playwright. Fortunately the teachers in my elementary school indulged me, and my class produced my two plays: "All About Thermometers" and "Hawaii." Neither, I am happy to report, made its way to Broadway.

When I graduated from college, I took a "temporary" job as a computer programmer. Although it hadn't been part of my plan, that turned into a permanent career in Information Technology.

Along the way, I've had a chance to do a lot of writing, including four technical books and what I describe as "enough technical articles to cure insomnia in a medium-sized city." (My budgets were also considered to be works of fiction.) Now, though, I'm able to write full time, and for the first time, all I'm writing is fiction.

When people ask why I write, the answer is simple: it's part of who I am and who I was meant to be.”

ENJOY COLLABORATIVE STORYTELLING

Don’t miss the fun this creativity filled episode, as we exercise our spontaneous imaginations in Round Robin Storytelling, Writing Works Wonders style. If you want to laugh, this is the episode! If you need inspiration to kick up your creativity to a new level, this is the episode! Follow along, pause the recording and add your own segment, Fire- up your improvisational skills as you listen to your fellow readers and writers during Writing Works Wonders’ round robin storytelling time.

How does it work? Kathy or Cheryl starts off with a brief story starter, just a few sentences. The first person who has raised his or her hand, continues the story. The next person takes the story further. And on we go around the virtual circle of raised hands. Watch out, because there will always be twisters thrown in to add some excitement to the story! We never know where the story will progressed to and we will wind up! Our creativity takes us in a new direction every time. What a wonderful event to enjoy each other and our imaginations.

Join us next time to participate in the loge Zoom call and be part of the creative process.

** Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**

Why would an author lock up her Switch gaming station? What is fanfiction? Where do we access free original sci fi podcast magazines? And which publications purchase short stories from authors? Mur Lafferty, our first guest author of Science Fiction and Fantasy, answers these questions, and offers keen insight into these worlds and genres. We learn about free science fiction and other original works available in podcast format by our guest, and through EscapeArtists.net. She also clues us into the backstory of her Star Wars books, short stories, novels, serials, and podcasts! An award-winning author, writer and podcaster, you will enjoy learning about her work, writing tricks, and perspective! So, (in the style of EscapePod introductions…) put on you magical glasses, it’s interview time!”

As a professional, Peter has been an advocate for change and a better world. He continues that work in his blogging, books and podcasts.

Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King

An extraordinary interview with an author who’s mission is to change perceptions of blindness around the world. An effervescent advocate, author and innovator, Kristin Smedley, author of the popular book on NLS/BARD “Thriving Blind,” joins Cheryl and Kathy for a unique author interview on Writing Works Wonders. Kristin is the mother of two young men who are blind. The success of her book has led to a worldwide community of those affected by blindness including parents, children and more. In this interview, you will also discover more about the newest initiatives regarding navigating college, and entrepreneurship, and the upcoming release of her newest book.

About Kristin Smedley With a fun-loving spirit and energetic personality, Kristin Smedley has guided her life in the direction of a career in teaching. However, when her two sons were born blind, Kristin walked away from the classroom to teach her sons how to navigate a world they could not see. This is part of the reason Kristin’s mantra is “Life is funny… sort of.”

With the right foundation and a multitude of resources, her children have achieved more than most sighted children their age. Kristin has seen first hand that the grim statistics in the blind community, 70% unemployment rate, 14% college graduation rate, and 60% living in poverty, are a direct result of lack of access to the right tools and resources. She has dedicated her life to changing those statistics and making sure no other Mom has to sit isolated in devastation over a rare eye disease diagnosis.

In 2011, Kristin launched a nonprofit to fund research and resources for children living with the rare eye disease her sons have, CRB1 LCA/RP.

Benefits of podcasts for authors? What are they, how can you do it? Can you podcast if you are blind or low vision? Absolutely, listen to how Kathy and Cheryl accomplish it! Why podcasts versus upload audio to websites? Steps to get started and where will you “travel” as a podcaster?

How and why did Writing Works Wonders start podcasting? We were a Zoom call, then we started podcasting! Why did we do it and how do we do it as authors who are visually impaired?

Kathy’s podcasting technical and hosting experience began in 2005. She had several podcasts in 2005-2010 which spanned hundreds of hours and many millions of listens.

BONUS: Cheryl and Kathy share multiple ideas about how authors may use podcasts to cultivate their followers and reader audience.

More about Kathy King

Dr. Kathy King not only has vast experience in podcasting, but also is an award winning author and editor publishing over 30 books and 200+ articles/papers. She is a retired professor of instructional technology and adult learning.

In this interview, he shares how his life in North Ireland, medical career, an early medical humor column informed his popular books.

Author Interview: Michael Gandy

Co-hosts; Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Dr. Kathleen P. King

Cheryl McNeil Fisher talks with author Michael Gandy about his unique aspect of writing and publishing. His books are serialized internationally, and amazingly, they are free! Each year he sells several of his print books. Every cent of profit is donated to the Talking Book Library Services through the Mississippi Friends of Handicapped Readers.

Michael is an engaging storyteller. He will take you on his journey from childhood to how he became interested in working with the blind. His respect for the people he met made him want to assist and enrich their lives, which inevitably led him to his position as Director of Rehabilitation for the Blind in Mississippi.

After retiring, he began narrating his books in the Mississippi Talking Book Service studio. Michael has written over 100 books. Before the pandemic, he narrated 70 books, so he doesn't have too much further to go unless he keeps writing more books! Join us for an inspirational and informative interview with Michael Gandy.

Character Development Part Two

Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Dr. Kathleen P. King

Character Arcs What changes have your characters made during your story? What will your proposed characters do?

We know from our own lives that people change. As authors, we need to create the twists, surprises and vivid sweeps of transformation which capture readers. Youngsters, teens, young, mid-life, and mature adults all have unique stages, conflicts and opportunities for dramatic or gradual change. What will happen in the unfolding journey of your character? And how will you keep the arc moving?

Writing and Discussion 1 Select a character arc of someone you’ve read, or you’re developing.

2 Jot down notes about their development and the arc. Timeline, critical events, etc.

Traits In your writing, are there character traits you find more or less universal? What do you find is necessary to make them come alive to your reader? What do you find you need to include? Speech style? Accent? Specific jargon or word choices? Mannerisms? Behaviors? How they walk, their gait? characters. Enjoy the discussion and examples.

Revelation How do we reveal character traits in our stories? What strategies do you use to weave them into our writing? Examples of techniques include metaphor, flashbacks, a journey, lessons, when they described described by others, etc. Think of your favorite work and consider what our authors suggest.

TRIVIA What if you were to play trivia as your character? How many of these questions could you answer? Give them a try. What is your character’s?

  • Birth place?
  • Occupation?
  • Biggest secret?

Favorite or worst

  • Pet
  • Vacation
  • Type of food
  • Neighbor or friend
  • Sport
  • Hairstyle
  • Technology

Character Development - Part One

Co-hosts; Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Dr. Kathleen P. King

Many different areas to choose from, but one which requires a lot of work, focus, and organization is character development.

TOOLS: 1- Name generators or purposeful name choice 2- Character tables/charts to Document, organize and guide the development of details of your characters, and keep them straight!!

Have you read books with inconsistencies? For instance, unless your character dyes his Hair: Its color can’t suddenly change colors from scene the scene.

Today, we will use some fun prompts to flesh out a character of your choice.

1- Think about what you would like to write or you have in progress. It might be any genre- fantasy, biography, history, mystery, etc.

2- Next, Identify one of your characters .. write down his or her name. If you don’t already have such a character, choose a name and basic identity. Like, Catherine the engineer, or Sherlock the detective.

3- Who would like to share the name and identity they will work on today?

4- PROMPTS ** Likes, dislikes and why- Describe one thing your character likes and the reason. Then list one thing they dislike and the reason. ** A strength or Extraordinary ability- List and describe one strength or Extraordinary ability of your character. Then briefly name the formative events that led to its development or discovery ** Physical characteristics— Imagine you’re meeting your character for the first time. Write a description of his or her physical characteristics and one mannerism you observe.
