Best of Book Banter EP 98: Rebroadcast of Episode 1

Hello My Happy People,

We at Burckhardt Books hope you all had a fantastic holiday season no matter what holiday you celebrate. We are currently on our holiday break between seasons two and three. We will be back for a new episode on January 10th to celebrate our 100th broadcast. I will have a special guest with me who you have heard about often if you followed my writing career under the pen name, Stephen Burckhardt. I did announce the special guest on my Manic Monday Vlogs on TikTok, but if you don't follow those, I have not announced it anywhere else.

Keep coming back during our hiatus for The Best of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt episodes. Season three begins February 7th. The next season is already looking amazing, so mark your calendars!

Book Banter Magazine starts up again February 1st and will publish every other month with a Year End Book Buying Guide in November 2024. Subscribe to our newsletter at BurckhardtBooks.com and never miss a new book publication, a new vlog post, a new podcast episode, or the latest magazine issue.

But now on to our broadcast of our first episode ....

Enjoy,

Dianne

From season 1:

In this inaugural episode, I introduce myself, Dianne Burckhardt, and explain why I chose to write my award-winning Into the West Saga Serial under a male pen name. The answer might surprise you. It involves numerous brain surgeries and a brief bout with death. Check out today's podcast for all the juicy details.

If you want to check out all of the books in the Into the West Saga Serial Collection for yourself, you can find them all at BurckhardtBooks.com/books.  You can get the beta version audiobook of Into the West: The Orphan Train for free just by signing up for my mailing list. You can quit anytime and there are no strings attached . . . ever. To join up, just go to the subscription page. 

Have a great Wednesday!
