00:33Sunbury Press Show: Jason Cherry, Author of "William Trent: Factor of Ambition'
in Books
The life of Major William Trent is shrouded in relative obscurity, but his mark on the Colonial period of early US history cannot be taken from him. The son of a Philadelphia shipping merchant, and the namesake for the capitol of New Jersey, Trent served as the factor for one of the most powerful land speculation companies, known for his impeccable record-keeping and penmanship. By the eve of the American Revolution, Trent was the face of westward expansion. He was also purported to be the giver of smallpox-infected blankets to Natives at Fort Pitt in the summer of 1763.
Author and historian Jason Cherry works to dispel that notion and to tell how Trent served alongside contemporaries such as Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. A research consultant for the 1719 William Trent House Museum and the author of "Pittsburgh's Lost Outpost: Captain Trent's Fort," Cherry brings the biography of Trent forward in this new book. He lives with his family in Butler, Pennsylvania.

About Pecan Chi:
Pecan Chi is a novel that navigates its audience deep into the culture of Louisiana from the inception of a family on its pecan grove and plantation. The reader is lured out onto the limb of one branch of this family's tree, while following Lillian Blache and her offspring. After losing her parents at the tender age of sixteen, Lillian is enticed, by her dream of becoming a dancer, to make the irrevocable decision to pass as a white woman. Despite advice and guidance from her cousin, Bobby, the intensity of the civil rights era compels Lillian to make another devastating and unthinkable choice.
Follow this family from the 1760s to modern day and discover how one gift of pecans vindicates Lillian to know that her actions may not have been in vain.

But I Digretch: Quirky Short Stories with Gretchen Astro Turner
Whimsical and zany but edged with darkness, evocatively lyrical with goosebump-eliciting endings, Gretchen Astro Turner's 13 short stories in But I Digretch are for the romantic in all of us-but also the cynic. This fiction collection is for the surrealist and the dreamer. It's for those who live by carpe diem or struggle to find their raison d'etre. ...those who love an addict or may be addicts themselves. ...members of the LGBTQ+ community. ...readers who are into vampire lore as well as those who know life may best be understood via metaphor and symbolism.
A logophile and a bibliophile with a Master of Arts in the Teaching of English Language Arts from Columbia University, Turner has written a playful road map through storytelling and language.

We Never Know Whose Life We Touch
in Books
Tonight's show is about a woman who never thought she would be a published author. She wrote many things and put them aside never dreaming that one day she would not only see her work in print, but she would touch the lives of people she never knew. That woman is my friend Peggy Engeler. She is the church secretary, retired secretary for a law firm, owns a fox red lab. And to add to that she is a woman of a certain age. We all know that age. The one when we think we are too old to do.... whatever it is we want to do.
News flash we are never to old.
So join me as I talk about Peggy and how she got started, the books she has released and how she is living her best life.

Diane Jones
in Books
Diane was born with dyslexia, a learning disability that affected her ability to read and spell and impacted hand-eye coordination, making many sports out of her reach. She has a profound reverence for and connection to the natural world. She loves all creatures, but horses stole her heart when she was young. Circumstances did not allow Diane to own a horse growing up, but that did not stop her from searching for the "perfect" equine companion.
Diane dreamed of owning a horse someday. As it often does, life got in the way of making that dream come true until Rudy came along. At 50, she bought a down-on-his-luck chestnut Thoroughbred for 1 dollar. The trajectory of her life changed with that one choice.
Diane is the author of the award-winning Rudy the Rudster children's book series. She is passionate about creating opportunities to connect with children to normalize their feelings and make them feel less alone. She is equally interested in educating people, particularly children, about horses.

Part 1: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Author Barry I. Gold
in Books
Oakland, NJ – Barry I. Gold is a retired scientist who studied pharmacology and is passionate regarding the opiate addiction crisis. He now offers his perspective on the growing usage of cannabis (marijuana), with a book proposal titled Hemp, Rope, and Smoke. In addition, he is also the author of two books, We’re Overdosed and the upcoming book Boomer Dad: A Lifetime of Endurance, Resilience, and Disconnection, to be released later in 2024.
“I start the book We’re Overdosed, by discussing the history of opium and where it came from,” explains Barry. “This includes how heroin was invented.”
“I am trying to advance opiate education,” adds Barry.
While Barry has made the painstaking effort to educate others about opiates, he also embraces the challenges of fatherhood at an advanced age, as he is a baby boomer.
“I am the single parent of a fifteen-year-old in addition to two older children, 49 and 47, from a previous marriage,” explains Barry. “I am in the process of writing a book titled Boomer Dad: A Lifetime of Endurance, Resilience, and Disconnection.”
Being the father of a fifteen-year-old son, while having its joys, also has its concerns. Barry cites that 14% of high school freshmen, of which most are the ages between fourteen and fifteen, have already sampled marijuana.
To address the growing usage of marijuana, Barry is in the process of writing a book titled Hemp, Rope, and Smoke.
“Much like opioid addiction, growing marijuana usage is a public health issue,” concludes Barry. “Don’t politicize it!”
