Hello My Happy People,


Welcome to our holiday hiatus episodes between our regular podcast seasons. Normally we play "The Best of" shows from the season that is ending, but this year we are bringing you interviews we recorded live at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. This Buchmesse is the world's largest publishing convention and with these interviews we barely scratched the surface of the incredible vendors attending this conference.


In today's show you will hear Dianne Burckhardt conducting an interview on the convention floor with author Kasey Rogers and then Dianne and Pedro share their parting observations of their first visit to the Frankfurter Buchmesse.


Kasey Rogers, Author and Domestic Abuse Prevention Activist

Kasey spent much of her earlier career working in the commercial film industry in New York City by day and writing a musical in between film projects. After the birth of her twins, she switched gears to follow another passion, cooking. That passion led her and her late husband to turn a vacation property in Alexandria, Ontario, into a restaurant. Kasey is an outspoken advocate for women and speaks about the connection between domestic and financial abuse.


Learn more about the I Know Why She Stayed Initiative on her website, kaseyrogers.com


Dianne and Pedro Burckhardt

Pedro and I share our closing thoughts about our first visit to the Frankfurter Buchmesse and our plans for future attendance. It is safe to say, we will be back!

PLEASE NOTE:  these interviews are all recorded live on the convention floor. There is of course background noise due to the numerous amount of convention goers around us. We did our best to clean up the sound for you. We are looking into new technology to bring you even better sound next year. These are also minimally edited just to clean up the sound. 


See you February 5, 2025 for our season 4 Lovefest opener!


Happy Holidays,

Dianne

This Buchmesse is the world's largest publishing convention and with these interviews we barely scratched the surface of the incredible vendors attending this conference.


In today's show you will hear Dianne Burckhardt conducting interviews on the convention floor with these companies. They discuss business practices and products these companies provide.


Abacus Brands

Abacus Brands, led by CEO Steve Rad, is an innovative pioneer in educational toys. Combining books and Virtual Reality (VR) to create immersive learning experiences for all ages. These learning sets not only engage the viewer and make learning fun, they put you in the experience. You are not just reading about dinosaurs, you are walking with them. You are not just watching Bill Nye the Science Guy do experiments, you are in his lab with him and can do experiments yourself with his guidance. The Future of learning is "virtually" alive at Abacus Brands. 


Sweet Cherry Publishing

Sweet Cherry Publishing had an incredible display of books on hand at the Frankfurter Buchmesse, presented by their UK and Export Sales Assistant, Ciara Myton. With everything from activity books to illustrated classics, they provide something to engage just about any child and reading level. According to Ciara, they cover everything from board books and nursery age titles all the way up to young adult fiction and unabridged classics.

Hello My Happy People,


Welcome to our holiday hiatus between podcast seasons. We usually play "The Best of" shows from the season that is ending, but this year we are bringing you interviews we recorded live at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. This Buchmesse is the world's largest publishing convention and with these interviews we barely scratched the surface of the incredible vendors attending this conference.


In today's show you will hear Dianne and Pedro Burckhardt conducting interviews on the convention floor with these companies. They discuss business practices and products these companies provide.


Make Believe Ideas

Creating children’s books for more than fifteen years, Make Believe Ideas is passionate about creating books to enhance family reading experiences. They take pride in being leaders and innovators in the market. Their focus is on pioneering new ideas that children and families will love.


Parragon Publishing India

Pedro next met with Ganesh Singh of Parragon Publishing India. This publishing house produces a wide variety of books for children ages 0–18 and up. Their line of products not only includes everything from activity books and storybooks to branded merchandise like Disney™, Marvel™, Barbie™, and more.

We did our best to clean up the sound for you. We are looking into new technology to bring you even better sound next year. These are also minimally edited just to clean up the sound.

Three bleeped words: m*rderous, k!lled, d!e


Hello My Happy People,


Welcome to our season three finale episode with award-winning, New York Times bestselling author, Tosca Lee.


Tosca is the bestselling author of The Line Between , The Progeny , Firstborn , Iscariot, The Legend of Sheba, Demon: A Memoir, Havah: The Story of Eve , and The Books of Mortals Series with fellow New York Times bestselling author, Ted Dekker. Achieving the title of bestselling author is only one of a long list of accolades she has earned in her career.


Tosca is an American author best known for her historical fiction novels and thrillers, Tosca was born in Virginia. Named after a favorite Puccini opera of her father’s, it seems logical that she once dreamed of a career in the opera. She would not that path.


Tosca’s attention moved from opera to ballet. She became a classically trained ballerina and pianist. Unfortunately, injuries forced her to abandon ballet, and the demanding regime of a professional pianist was not appealing. Once again, she had to find a different path.


Tosca attended Smith College, earning a BA in English Language and Literature. Later, she attended Oxford University, where she studied international economics. Tosca wrote her first novel while at Smith, but that manuscript remains unpublished.


While her first manuscript was not a publishing success, she did begin writing professionally in 1992. While working for Smart Computing Magazine , Tosca achieved her first author status as co-author of two computer books.Since her beginnings, Tosca has moved on to not only create an enviable solo author career, but has partnered with other New York Times bestselling authors, Ted Dekker and Marcus Brotherton. We strive to cover all of this in today's episode.


Don't wait, go listen now.

Hello My Happy People,


Hello Happy People,Mary Martha Greene is not a cookbook author by profession. It's a passion project inspired by family traditions and a desire to honor the women who created them. It also gives her a change of pace from her day job.


Growing up, Mary was heavily influenced by her family. She spent a lot of time by her grandmother’s side when she was in the kitchen. Watching the women in her family, Mary dreamed of doing something creative for her career. Mary loved to cook and bake and considers her return to the kitchen as a homecoming of sorts.


Her father was a family court judge and was very involved in politics. Her father would have a great influence on Mary's future. After returning home at the end of her first semester of college — where she was studying business at her father's suggestion — Mary was informed she would soon be reporting to the state house to be a page. From that moment, her career path was virtually set.


It would be many years before Mary found herself taking the time to get creative in the kitchen again. She credits yet another family member for inspiring her move to become a cookbook author. Her second oldest goddaughter was getting ready to go off for a semester at sea, but she had a request before she left. She wanted her aunt Mae-Mae to teach her how to cook.


As Mary began to search for the family recipes, other people came forward to request a copy of her collection for themselves. Mary started to consider taking her project to a wider audience. On a whim she suggested to a friend to ask the University of South Carolina Press if they would be interested in publishing her cookbook ... they were. 


Don't wait, go listen now to all the amazing personal stories behind this cookbook. Then check out Book Banter Magazine for her free holiday recipe. To start, just click the purple microphone below

Book Banter S3 EP146: Amber Chen Interview


Menu:  

Listen to Today's Episode  • My Manic Life Vlog  • Support Book Banter Productions  •  Book Banter Magazine  •  Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt - Book Talk Podcast Links  •  Future Podcast Guest s


Hello Happy People,


Today I get to share my chat with Bestselling YA author, Amber Chen. Amber stands out in her career for many reasons, but the most surprising aspect may be her educational background.After graduating from the prestigious Cambridge University, where she earned a BA and MSci in biochemistry, she went on to work in science. However, when you note that Amber also earned a diploma in screenwriting, it’s clear that being a writer was always a possibility in her future.


Unfortunately, according to Amber, the film and TV industry in her part of the world does not provide her with the same kind of opportunities as her science degrees. Amber began honing her craft writing web novels on Wattpad. One of her early works, The Cutting Edge , gave her a taste of seeing her work turned into a screenplay. 


After a lot of hard work, Amber did get a publishing deal with Penguin for her young adult, silkpunk, fantasy, Of Jade and Dragons .  Her debut novel hit #1 last summer on The Bookseller and, as of this writing, is sitting at #2 in Teen & Young Adult Geography & Cultures Fiction eBooks, #6 in Teen & Young Adult Myth & Legend eBooks, and #15 in Myths & Legends for Young Adults on Amazon.co.uk. 


Her second book in this duology has recently gone on pre-order for a July 17, 2025 release for the hardcover and is already climbing the bestseller lists. It is sitting at #184 in Teen & Young Adult Geography & Cultures Fiction eBooks on Amazon.co.uk and is #1 and #2 on Amazon.com for New Releases in Teen & Young Adult Asian Historical Fiction for hardcover and ebook respectively. Follow Amber Chen on social media to see what she publishes next, because odds are ... it's going to be good!

Book Banter S3 EP145: David Atkinson Interview


Menu:  

Listen to Today's Episode  • My Manic Life Vlog  • Support Book Banter Productions  •  Book Banter Magazine  •  Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt - Book Talk Podcast Links  •  Future Podcast Guest s


Hello My Happy People,


Today I am sharing my interview with Edinburgh based writer and musician, David Atkinson. David attributes his love of reading to being a significant force, pushing him toward eventually pursuing a career in writing. From a young age he remembers being a voracious reader and even having a fondness for the classics that other his age tended to shun. 

       

Even though David is an Amazon bestselling author, he still works a “day job” and one that could not be much more removed from his creative pursuits. Working in financial services, David find’s his writing to be a form of escapism from the less creative side of his life, but writing is not his only creative outlet. He is also an accomplished musician and used that talent to create a soundtrack for his latest book.


While David has not yet been able to transition to being a full-time writer, he has had a good deal of success with the books he has published. His first novel, Love Byte , was published by Buried River Press. This romantic comedy not only made him a bestselling author, but put him on a shortlist for the Romantic Comedy Novel of the Year Award (2015) by the Romantic Novelists’ Association. 


David later followed that book with another romantic comedy, Squeezed . His third book in this genre, The Second Life of Nathan Jones , was published by One More Chapter, an imprint of Harper Collins.


With hundreds to thousands of positive reviews for his traditionally published, romantic comedies, one would think it would be logical for David to continue publishing these types of books. However, his greatest success was yet to come when he took a chance on another genre and turned to self-publishing. 


Future Proof  is a listed on Amazon.com as a time travel, comedy/drama and nearly a year after publication, it is still – as of this writing – sitting in the top 25 in at least three categories.


#1 in Time Travel Romance

#2 in British & Irish Humor & Satire

#3 in Time Travel Science Fiction (Kindle Store)

You can also find him, along with every other author from season 3 in our Dec/Jan 2024 Book Banter Magazine issue which also includes our Year End Book Buying Guide.

Season Three Holiday Hiatus Episodes:


New this year, instead of our usual "Best of" rebroadcast episodes during our hiatus, we are bringing you all new interviews recorded live at the 2024 Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. The sound in these episodes will not be as clear as our usual episodes. They were recorded live in the middle of the book convention, the crowds were constantly milling all around us, talking, and checking out the exhibits. However, we always strive to bring you the best sound quality we possibly can.
