Whispers in the Dark - Episode 73

Megan Hussey returns tonight. Megan is an author of Erotic Literature. From mermen to vampires, Megan's stories feature sexy, kind-natured heros and strong, real woman heroines. She wants to discuss strong female roles in erotic literature - which is what she writes her her books. http://goldenmuse.tripod.com/

Her story "Behold the Beauty" was a reverse "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale for the adults. Last year we produced her story as an audio drama. http://the4077th.blogspot.com/p/behold-beauty.html  The character of Agnatha the Healer (Played by our dear friend Gwendolyn Jensen-Woodard aka Rita Nash) is a strong-willed woman, who is not the typical Beauty that society would expect for a Prince to persue. Megan and Gwen will discuss the production and Megan will update us on her latest books.

And in our second hour, Andrea Jones will be here to discuss her "Hook & Jill" saga. http://www.reginettapress.com/hookandjill/  Hook & Jill, is a serious parody of Sir James Barrie's timeless tale, Peter & Wendy. Her debut novel won five literary awards, among them the Gold Award for Adult Fiction and Literature in the 2010 Mom's Choice Awards, and Best New Fiction in the 2010 International Book Awards. Jeff Niles and I are excited to be speaking with these ladies who know the importance of strong female characters in literature and audio drama.
