Unveiling the Truth: How One Secret Transformed Her Life Forever with Author Judy Lannon
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Judy Lannon, author of the book The Making of Genevieve. Judy’s award-winning contemporary women’s fiction resonates with readers through its honest and relatable depiction of women and their life experiences. In her debut novel, Nine Days, we meet the Austin family and their narcissistic mother, Genevieve. Inspired by reader requests for more about the mother’s character, Judy wrote “The Making of Genevieve.” Listen to the Audio VersionWatch the Video VersionLast week, I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Judy Lannon about her captivating novel "The Making of Genevieve" - a book that completely redefined my understanding of character development. Judy's approach to storytelling is nothing short of magical, weaving a narrative that spans seven decades through the life of an unconventional woman named Genevieve.
What struck me most about our conversation was how Judy breathed life into a character that readers initially found unlikable in her previous novel. By writing a prequel that explores Genevie's complex journey, she transformed a seemingly difficult character into someone readers could deeply understand and even empathize with.
Quick Book Highlights:
Set in the late 1930s and early 1940s
Follows Genevie's pursuit of a career as an interior designer
Explores a time when women's professional aspirations were highly unconventional
Carries a 70-year-old secret that shapes her entire life
One of the most fascinating aspects of our chat was how Judy approaches writing. Like many authors (myself included!), she's a proud "pantser" - someone who writes by the seat of their pants, letting characters guide the story rather than rigidly plotting every detail. It was refreshing to hear how she allows her characters to surprise her, much like how Genevieve surprised readers by revealing her depth and determination.
Judy's next book, tentatively titled "Callahan's Cottage", sounds equally intriguing - a story about three lifelong friends reuniting at a beach cottage, each carrying their own secrets. As a beach lover myself, I'm already excited about the setting!
If you're looking for a novel that challenges your perceptions and offers a nuanced look at a woman's journey through mid-20th century America, "The Making of Genevieve" should definitely be on your list.

Book Review: 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure
(Book Review by Jennifer)
I met Teri when she was marketing her first fiction novel. Cold outreach. Yes it still works.
When she was ready for her own podcast, I gave her one of mine. I love her writing and have watched through the years as Teri has developed the voice she found.
10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure makes me wanna try tandem bicycling - not for the bicycling, for the adventuring through challenges with someone.
Her grand double-butted adventure is deeply meaningful, humorous, educational and insightful. More really. It a great guide for anyone that wants more out of their life or someone that just needs a kick in the seat.
I wrote down the rules, I wrote down the questions and I’ve done some introspection.
I’d love to gift 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure to a few people I love.
As Teri recommends I think we could all “order a pizza — half with pineapple and half without”
We are all partially blind. Love the poem by John Godfrey Saxe 1873 THE BLIND MEN AND THE ELEPHANT. I’d not read it before. Thank You
Teri, I giggled at a couple things....
“In our relationship, I am the creative one. Feel free to reread this sentence with the word emotional – it works just as well.”
&
….as long as I had padded shorts and lots of lube.
For as much as I have come to know you Teri, I felt through your words. I can feel the love & gratitude you have for your adventures with Bruce and the impact they’ve had for your life, consequently those you met. Like me!
Congratulations on creating something that will help others get more out of life, should they chose it.

Book Review: Tangles
Tangles by Kay Smith-Blum is an amazing debut novel that pushes the genre boundaries. Is it historical fiction? A love story? A thriller/mystery/suspense? The answer is yes - and a whole lot more.We meet Luke and learn that he is sure the nuclear power plant in his community poisoned the citizens, including his father. He also believes that those in charge, from plant officials to government leaders, knew of the safety issues and kept them a secret. Because of this, Luke sets off to prove these theories once and for all, making enemies along the way.
Luke is a likeable character, and Kay helps us get inside his head. Whether we see him as a young teen when he falls in love with his married neighbor or as an adult dealing with his own cancer diagnosis and befriending a fatherless child, it is easy to understand his motivations and cheer him on.
Will Luke be able to find the answers he seeks? Will he ever know what happened to his first love? Read the book and find out!

Editorial Review for 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure by The Wishing Shelf
The Wishing Shelf Book AwardsEDITORIAL REVIEW
TITLE: 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure
AUTHOR: Teri M Brown
Star Rating: 5
CATCHY QUOTE
‘An accessibly written, thought-provoking story of an author (and co.) cycling across the US on a tandem. Highly recommended!’ The Wishing Shelf
REVIEW
I very much enjoyed this (sort of) travel book from the pen of Teri M. Brown. I know her work, having read her historical novel, An Enemy Like Me - which, I understand was a bronze medal winner in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards. But this offering is VERY different.
In a nutshell, it follows the writer as she travels (on a bike; a tandem no less!) across the US. Insightful and often even thought-provoking, it’s not just a technical handbook on cycling – or travel for that matter; it’s more a story of self-discovery and personal growth. Now, I know that might sound a little wishy washy. But you know what? It’s not. And I enjoyed every page of it.
There were a number of elements to this well-written book I particularly enjoyed. Firstly, the writing style is informal; almost chatty. As a result, she’s never condescending; it never feels like a lecture – more a chat in a café over a cup of coffee. Secondly, there are a lot of gems in here; titbits of wisdom which I suspect most readers will find interesting. For example, Rule 5, Focus on Now, I simply loved this: When people would ask us in complete amazement, “How is it possible to ride a tandem bike the entire way across the United States?” or “How will you climb over the Rockies?” Bruce would reply, “One pedal stroke at a time.” And thirdly, I think the author’s story is rather inspiring. To do what she (they) did is, well, amazing. So much so, it might motivate a few of us to have an ‘adventure’ too!
So, if you happen to be on the hunt for an accessibly written book offering the reader insights into life, cycling, and travel, 10 Little Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure is for you. I think most readers will enjoy watching them overcome the many problems they face, and I suspect many of Teri M Brown’s musings will get them thinking too.

Book Review: The Olive Tree
The Olive Tree by Mariam El Houli is a beautiful story about a place torn apart by war. We meet two girls who become friends despite the world telling them they should never speak. Nisma is an Islamic Palestinian living in Israel. Hannah is a Jewish Zionist. Circumstances bring them together and the story unfolds to give us a glimpse into the hatred that separates the people in Israel.Mariam is not afraid to tackle the concepts of bigotry and segregation. She pulls us in head-first, allowing readers to experience a teen being beaten and kept from school by a parent for talking to someone "not of the faith." We see how government officials have been corrupted and turn a blind eye to the violence. We see the ostracism that occurs when someone breaks the rules. But more importantly, Mariam shows us what we need to do to combat the disease of hatred - find our love and compassion.
If you want to read a book to help you understand systematic prejudice, not just in Israel, but anywhere in the world, this beautiful tale is the book for you.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Michael Pietrobon who is here to chat with me about Book Design. A self-published author himself, Michael started Foglio with the intention of providing compelling, highly personalized book design and publishing services to all authors.Listen to the Audio VersionWatch the Video VersionThis week, I dove deep into something we often overlook but absolutely transforms our reading experience: book design.
In my latest podcast episode, I chatted with Michael Pietrobon, a book design expert who's basically the wizard behind making books not just readable, but irresistible. Here are some mind-blowing insights.

Through Her Eyes: Republishing a Powerful Memoir from Palestine with Oran Kivity
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Oran Kivity, son of the late Ruth Jordan who wrote her memoir Daughter of the Waves. Oran is a British acupuncturist and coach who trained in Europe, China, and Japan. He took on this project to republish his mother’s memoir as a tribute to her and so younger generations of his family knew her story.Listen to the Audio VersionWatch the Video VersionThis month, Carole had the incredible privilege of diving into a memoir that transported her to pre-war Palestine through the eyes of a remarkable woman named Ruth Jordan. Her book, "Daughter of the Waves," is more than just a personal history—it's a vibrant tapestry of culture, resilience, and childhood wonder.
In a fascinating conversation with Ruth's son Orin Kivity, Carole learned about Ruth's extraordinary life: a precocious child who grew up in a dynamic, multicultural environment, learned multiple languages before most kids master one, and went on to become a respected BBC journalist and biographer.
What struck her most about Ruth's story were the small, magical moments of childhood:
Imagining herself flying under a tree
Learning to read through her mother's innovative paper letter games
Living with a pet hyena (yes, you read that right!)
Navigating the complex cultural landscape of pre-state Israel
Her memoir isn't just a historical document—it's a testament to human curiosity, adaptability, and the power of storytelling.

Roadside Revelations: Empowerment on a Vintage Voyage with Author Gail Ward Olmsted
My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Gail Ward Olmsted, author of the book Katharine's Remarkable Road Trip. Gail was a marketing executive and a college professor before she began writing fiction on a full-time basis. A trip to Sedona, AZ inspired her first novel Jeep Tour. Three more novels followed before she began Landscape of a Marriage, a biographical work of fiction featuring landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, a distant cousin of her husband's, and his wife Mary. After penning a pair of contemporary novels featuring a disgraced attorney seeking a career comeback (Miranda Writes, Miranda Nights) she is back to writing historical fiction featuring an incredible woman with an amazing story.Listen to the Audio VersionWatch the Video VersionThis week, I sat down with the delightful Gail Ward Olmsted, author of Katharine's Remarkable Road Trip – a book that completely shattered my preconceived notions about what it means to be an "old maid" in the early 1900s.
Imagine a 77-year-old woman in 1907 taking a solo 300-mile road trip, challenging every stereotype about aging and independence. Katharine – the real-life inspiration behind the book – is nothing short of fascinating. She's a woman who lived life on her own terms, loved freely, learned constantly, and proved that age is just a number.
What I loved most about this conversation was how Gail approached historical research. She talked about the challenge of falling down research rabbit holes (something I know all too well!) and the delicate art of selecting which details truly bring a character to life. It's not about dumping every fascinating fact you've discovered, but about creating a compelling narrative that breathes life into history.
Three Quick Takeaways:
Age is just a number – life doesn't stop at 60, 70, or beyond!Research is an art – know when to stop digging and start writingEvery person has a remarkable story waiting to be told

Ed holds a place in the annals of history as the cross-continental endurance road race record holder, boasting the fastest time in a competitive road race stretching from Boston to San Diego. His debut novel, One Mile at a Time, is more than a chronicle of this thrilling feat.

Listen to the Audio VersionWatch the Video VersionI recently had the pleasure of interviewing Edward M Rahill, author of "One Mile at a Time", a book that's part automotive history, part family memoir, and entirely a testament to human resilience.
