Korina Moss and Fleur Bradley
Show Notes
The first thing we did on this episode is to announce that we have a new patron in Jan H. from
Illinois and we are thrilled. We also had a donation made to our tip jar on our website from Joan
Long. We are very appreciative of both.
Korina Moss is nominated for an Agatha Award for Best First Novel for her book “Cheddar Off
Dead.”
Cheesemonger Willa Bauer is proving that sweet dreams are made of cheese. She’s opened
her very own French-inspired cheese shop, Curds & Whey, in the heart of the Sonoma Valley.
The small town of Yarrow Glen is Willa's fresh start, and she's determined to make it a success
– starting with a visit from the local food critic. What Willa didn’t know is that this guy never gives
a good review, and when he shows up nothing goes according to plan. She doesn’t think the
night can get any worse... until she finds the critic’s dead body, stabbed with one of her shop’s
cheese knives. Now a prime suspect, Willa has always believed life’s problems can be solved
with cheese, but she’s never tried to apply it to murder...
We then talked with Fleur Bradley who is nominated for An Agatha Award for Best Children or
Young Adult Novel for her book “Daybreak on Raven Island.”
Tori, Marvin, and Noah would rather be anywhere else than on the seventh grade class field trip
to Raven Island prison. Tori would rather be on the soccer field, but her bad grades have
benched her until further notice; Marvin would rather be at the first day of a film festival with his
best friend, Kevin; and Noah isn't looking forward to having to make small talk with his
classmates at this new school.
But when the three of them stumble upon a dead body in the woods, miss the last ferry back
home, and then have to spend the night on Raven Island, they find that they need each other
now more than ever. They must work together to uncover a killer, outrun a motley ghost-hunting
crew, and expose the age-old secrets of the island all before daybreak.
We thank both of these ladies and wish them good luck.
TRIVIA
Last Week's question was:
“High Tower Court” building had what influence on author Michael Connelly?
a. He thought it was haunted
b. He featured it in his book
c. He wanted to live there
d. He wanted it renamed
The answer is c. He wanted to live there.
After moving to Los Angeles, Connelly went to see High Tower Court where Raymond
Chandler's character Philip Marlowe had lived (in his 1942 novel The High Window), and Robert
Altman had used for his film The Long Goodbye(1973). Connelly got the manager of the
building to promise to phone him if the apartment ever became available. Ten years later, the
manager tracked Connelly down, and Connelly decided to rent the place. This apartment served
as a place to write for several years
This week's question is:
