Hello My Happy People,
I am thrilled to share with you today my interview with Wealth Management Specialist, Chad Willardson. To say Chad has an impressive background in finance and publishing does not come close to painting an accurate picture of his achievements. He is the President and Founder of Pacific Capital, five-time bestselling author, long-time Certified Financial Fiduciary, and recently launched his latest book, Wealth Wired Differently .
Following the success of his previous bestsellers, Fit for Wealth , Stress Free Money, Beyond the Money, and Smart, Not Spoiled, Wealth Wired Differently dives into essential topics for entrepreneurs navigating the financial landscape and looking for the best advice and strategies available.
It is easy to understand how Chad could write such books when you look at his own entrepreneurial and financial background. Chad was a senior vice president of investments for Merrill Lynch Wealth Management from 2003–2011. He took that experience and used it as a launching pad for his own ventures.
Embracing his entrepreneurial spirit, Chad would go on to create several companies of his own. Besides Pacific Capital, Chad is the Co-founder
and Board Member of GravyStack and the Founder and President of Platinum Elevated.
Through his businesses, Chad manages more than $1.4 billion in investments, offering specialized services to high-net-worth entrepreneurs. As successful as he is in the field, Chad has first-hand knowledge of what it is like for an entrepreneur to take great financial risks to build a company from concept to a lucrative enterprise. Don't wait, click the purple microphone below to go listen now to learn more about Chad and his work.

Book Banter S3 EP143 Sebastian Dureaux-Russell Interview
Bleeped words due to some censors: sh00ting up hero!n, prostitute, s*x, s*xuality, g*n
Hello My Happy People,
With recent world events, I am choosing to focus on the thing that make me happy, talking to authors about books. Today I am sharing my conversation with author Sebastian Dureaux-Russell. Readers of Book Banter Magazine may recognize Sebastian's name and book cover from a previous issue when he was a featured poet in the April/May 2024 issue. His poem, Ethan Frome Sled, speaks to a need for reinvention and creation while blending literary nostalgia.
It is not surprising to find that Sebastian has an incredibly deep pool of talent to draw from to feed his creative works. Educated at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and The International Center of Photography, Sebastian is not just an accomplished writer, but is also an award-winning photographer, speaker, and a former model who can perform the “Dior Turn”.
In addition to his award-winning photography, Sebastian has written for numerous publications including Where Magazine, Travel Weekly, and The New York Times . However, in recent years his focus has shifted from writing articles to literary fiction.
His award-winning debut novel, Burning with a Blue Flame , is a historical fiction adventure the centers around Pilot Elmer Darrel. Elmer agrees to compete against race car driver Humbolt Bratka. These men are both trying to reconcile their own personal demons as they speed toward the finish line while navigating through a maze of distractions including speakeasies, passionate interludes, and plenty of jazz.
With all the accolades Sebastian has earned, it is difficult to imagine that at one time he struggled in school. To find out more just listen to today's episode and hear all the fascinating tales from the author himself. Don't wait, go listen now!
(Get ready to plan for 2025!)
Enjoy,
Dianne

Book Banter S3 EP 142: Aislinn Brophy Interview
Hello My Happy People,
Today I am so thrilled to share my conversation with Aislinn Brophy (pronounced ASH-lin Bro-fee). Aislinn can best be described as a decidedly creative soul. Besides being a dancer, a singer, an actor, and a twice traditionally published author, they have a long list of hobbies including “pawning off their baking on anybody nearby, doing funny voices, and dismantling the patriarchy.”
Aislinn takes pride in their passions and makes a pointed effort to explore identity and social justice issues in their published work. With the increased presence of social media influencers and their impact on society, culture, and communication practices in general, Aislinn’s latest book, the Penguin YA Queer romantasy, Spells to Forget Us , is not only timely, but relatable, especially with members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha readers.
According to a press release from Penguin Young Readers, “SPELLS TO FORGET US delves into topics including privacy and consent through the context of parent influencers and their children. Brophy brings attention to an emerging issue affecting Gen Z, providing a unique perspective not often explored in young adult literature.”
Don't wait, go listen now for more information on Aislinn and her work. Then be sure to check out her feature in our current issue of Book Banter Magazine .
(Get ready to plan for 2025!)
Enjoy,
Dianne

Book Banter S3 EP141: Brian Prousky Interview
*Trigger Warnings: Discussion of the Holocaust, one phrase ($exu@l a$$ault) bleeped twice*
Copy by Britta Franceschi
Brian Prousky likes to describe himself as having been two distinct people for most of his life. The first Brian worked a respectable day job and was a husband and father. The second, secret, Brian was a wordsmith, writing books in secret and dreaming of becoming a writer. He has said the only commonalities between the two were the enjoyment of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Mozart, Saul Bellow, and Roberto Bolano as well as tennis and hockey.
His “real career” was working for the government in child welfare, leading and running organizations. He considered it a “serious job” and “pretty tense” work, and it was an important job within the community that kept him busy. His first book was written between meetings, and it was inspired by, and a parody of, his job in social services. Other than providing some time and inspiration, Prousky says that it was otherwise a “massive inconvenience and impediment” on his writing.
He came close to publishing his first novel, Auden Triller Is a Killer , when he sent it to a publisher in New York. Incredibly, two days later, he was contacted by an agent and shortly signed a contract. When she wanted him to cut fifty pages, however, he thought better of it and decided to wait. He had written four novels, a book of short stories, and a book of poetry in the meantime, and he found a publisher shortly after he retired. Now, he loves that he can say that he’s a writer “proudly and openly”.
Uriel Through Eleanor is Prousky’s latest novel, released in March 2024. To learn more about this title and others by Brian Prousky, check out today's podcast. If you like epic, captivating drama, you may have just found your new favorite author! Go listen now.
Enjoy,
Dianne

Book Banter S3 EP 140: D.G. McCool Jr. Interview
Hello My Happy People,
I am so thrilled to bring this author interview to you today. D.G. McCool Jr. (Del) is a self-professed lifelong fan of science fiction and fantasy and a fellow midwesterner. He is a devoted SciFi/Fantasy enthusiast of more than just the usual main stream authors of the genre, but has also branched out into role playing games as well.
In his youth, Del took comfort in creating his own worlds in short stories. Eventually these early works would become the groundwork for his first novel, but it would be years before the dream of becoming an author would come to pass.
Del’s career path began with 10 years of service in the US Army. After leaving that service, Del went down another avenue where he could protect and serve his community with 14 years in law enforcement.
It wasn’t until Del moved into the corporate world that he was able to take time to start writing as a sideline to his day job. In 2021, Del finally published his first book.
Del was able to publish a few more books over the next few years but it wasn’t until her retired in 2024 that he was able to finally devote full time to his writing career.
Go listen now to today's podcast and hear about Del and his work from the author himself. If you like epic fantasy/SciFi you may have just found your new favorite author!
Enjoy,
Dianne

Today I get to share with all of you my chat with the amazing romantic suspense author, Kristie Wolf. Kristie knew from a young age she wanted to be an author. Delving into her mother’s Harlequin Romance book collection as a teenager, Kristie found herself inspired.
While it took a while for her to fulfill her dream, Kristie finally achieved her goal in 2023 with the publication of her book, Too Dangerous to Love , book one in her Project Viper Series. It was followed in 2024 with Knife to the Heart , her new Blood Snow Series.
Kristie’s books stand out in the romance genre for more than just their unique story lines, fearless heroes, and badass heroines. Her cover art variants give her books a unique edge that many romance readers might find very attractive. Each book comes with two different covers from which readers can choose what best suits their needs.
Like many authors, Kristie’s career path did not lead directly to becoming an author. She initially went to college to study marketing. After graduation, she eventually landed a job in advertising and later transitioned into public relations.
Go listen now to today's podcast and hear about Kristie and her work from the author herself. If you like steamy, romantic suspense, you may have just found your new favorite author! Just click the purple microphone to go listen in.
Enjoy,
Dianne

Book Banter S3 EP 138: Refe Tuma Interview
Hello My Happy People,
Today I share my chat with the incredible children's book author, Refe Tuma. Refe (pronounced Reef) not only has a unique name, but he and his wife Susan have built a fun and decidedly unique literary brand for themselves. As the creators of Dinovember and the What the Dinosaurs Did Series, they entertain their followers with their dino-antics while also inspiring families to come together and create their own dino-adventures at home.
According to Wikipedia, there are approximately 200,000 Dinovember followers, but there is a smaller group who go the extra mile to join in on the fun themselves. This month-long event has solidified a strong fanbase for the Tumas’ book series and secured them a place in American pop culture history.
The Tumas are currently working on their next book, What the Dinosaurs Did on Halloween . Their dinosaur series is not the only publishing endeavor that Refe has to his credit. Refe also branched out with a solo creation, a new middle-grade line of storybooks called the Frances Stenzel Series.
Inspired by popular stop-motion films like Coraline , Refe imagined a story about a child whose parents are workaholic scientists. They are so wrapped up in their work, they neglect to spend time with their child. Frustration leads the child to take drastic steps to get their parent’s attention.
As Refe thought about this story over the years, it evolved and changed until Frances Stenzel was a fully fleshed out character with a captivating story to tell. A number of reviewers have compared Frances and the Monster to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein . Others describe it as “colorful,” “captivating,” and even Kirkus Reviews called it a “remarkably original tale.”
In 2023, Frances and the Monster was followed by the highly anticipated second installment, Frances and the Werewolves of the Black Forest . This current installment has already earned a Bram Stoker Awards Nomination and is a 2024 Page Turner Awards Finalist. With two successful children’s book series in publication, it will be interesting to see what Refe will create next.
Enjoy,
Dianne

Book Banter S3 EP 137: Mary P. Fisher Interview
Hello My Happy People,
Today Dianne brings you her fascinating conversation with author, Mary P. Fisher.
Mary Paula Fisher has had an extensive career in healthcare as a registered nurse. While her career was mainly focused on critical care and ICU nursing, Mary also worked with visiting nurses, hospice, and end-of-life care. These experiences led her to broaden her skill set beyond the basic medical training provided through mainstream programs. She was able to explore the benefits of more holistic healing techniques.
Mary became an Usui Reiki Master Teacher after attending the Four Winds Society, School of Energy Healing. Since 2013, Mary has been able to utilize her new mastery to provide health education and healing programs, teaching various health and well-being techniques to corporate clients, healthcare employees, and interested individuals. Throughout her nursing career, Mary has had many memorable encounters with the patients in her care.
Mary started her book project around 2015 while she was still working as a nurse. Due to her demanding career, she was not able to devote significant time to her writing. Once she retired from nursing in May of 2023, she shifted her focus to her writing career and to finishing her memoir.
Mary credits advice she got from individuals she met through the Cape Cod Writers Groups for influencing her decision to go the independent publishing route instead of seeking a traditional publisher. Besides providing her with beneficial career advice, the group hosted a five-day writers conference where Mary connected with another member of the group who became her mentor and great friend.
To find out more, just click the purple microphone below to listen to Mary's interview and get all the amazing details from the author herself. Don't wait, go listen now!
Want to meet Mary in person? Check out her first book signing:
Sunday, 29 September, Noon - 2:00 PM at Barnes & Noble in Wareham, MA.
Enjoy,
Dianne

Book Banter S3 EP 136: Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg Interview
Hello My Happy People,
I am thrilled to bring you another amazing literary fiction author today. Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg may be best known as a bestselling and award-winning author, but she is also proud to add more to her credits, having recently become the steward of a 420-acre regenerative farm in Wisconsin.
Her farming venture aside, Jeanne has been working hard for several years to build a solid base for her writing career. Her first book, Eden , was published in 2017 and earned her a prestigious Benjamin Franklin Silver Award for Best New Voice in Fiction. She was also a finalist for the Sarton Women’s Book Award for Historical Fiction.
Jeanne followed up that successful publication in 2019 with The Nine . As with the first book, her second novel added more awards to her growing list of accolades. It won the 2019 Foreword Indies Gold Award in Thriller & Suspense and the Gold Medal and Juror’s Choice in the 2019 National Indie Excellence Awards.
With such a prestigious start to her author career, there was much anticipation for her next release. Daughter of a Promise, which she published earlier this year, is actually the third in a thematic trilogy.
To find out more about the exciting career progression Jeanne took to to become a bestselling, award-winning author, tune in to Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt - Book Talk Podcast for EP 136. Click the purple microphone to go now!
