"American Roulette" Authors Sherry Knowlton & Pat LaMarche on the SPB Show
in Books
The topic of gun violence in the United States is a highly-charged and emotional issue. As part of an effort to discuss the issue, an eclectic group of award-winning authors come together to craft American Roulette, a novel that brings eight people to a mall food court, on a day they think will be like any other. The collaborative efforts of these writers takes a different tack to examine the tension, dread and action of a novel with the real-life question for all readers: could this happen to me or someone I love?
Two Sunbury Press authors involved in the project join Sunbury Press founder and publisher Lawrence Knorr on this podcast to talk about the subject of gun violence, what brought them all together, and what they hope to accomplish with a book that garnered rave reviews from the outset. Sherry Knowlton is no stranger to the BookSpeak Network, as host of the Milford House mystery podcast, and the author of several mystery works, including the Alexa Williams series. Pat LaMarche is an author, political activist, historian and homeless shelter director. They are joined by Matthew Best, Robert Bradshaw, Andy Carey, James Dodds, Cheryl Dunn Bychek, Phyllis Orenyo, J.M. West and Cheryl Woodruff Brooks.
All proceeds from this book will go to gun violence prevention, by way of the non-profit Charles Bruce Foundation.

Close Up Radio Spotlights Author Eve Carson
in Books
Indianapolis, IN – Eve Carson is the author of the book Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. Eve seeks to keep alive the memory of her sister-in-law, Joan Webster, a Harvard Student, who perished in November of 1981, under very suspicious circumstances. Despite being a cold case and meeting resistance at every turn, Eve continues to seek justice for Joan.
“I began researching this case back in 2006, because the former prosecutor announced that he was writing a book about this case.” mentions Eve. “Having understood the case from the beginning, I understood that what he wrote was similar to the story that was promoted through the media. However, it did not match up with documents that I recovered.”
“The case is forty-two years old, and no one has been tried or charged with the crime,” explains Eve. “The state of Massachusetts alleged that Leonard Paradiso picked up Joan at Logan Airport, took her to a boat, murdered her, and then dumped her in Boston Harbor. Her body was missing until 1990, when her remains were discovered in a wooded area in Hamilton, Massachusetts – and NOT in Boston Harbor.”
Eve’s passion for this case manifested itself into a book that she authored – Simple, Safe & Secret: The 1981 Murder of Joan L. Webster. This book offers a more detailed account of the events, evidence, and people surrounding Joan Webster. She has dedicated the book in memory of Joan.

kanchanbhaskar.com My professional career began in 1987 in Human Resources and development, working for a large conglomerate based out of the USA. I moved to the USA in 2000 and continued working with global companies. My interest and expertise in the thirty years of my career have been strengths development through training, mentoring, counseling, and coaching individuals. I am an ardent optimist and believe in living life to the fullest. Music of any genre or language, vocal or instrumental, keeps me connected to my soul. I like to read fiction, non-fiction, and management books. My inquisitiveness to understand cultures and ethnicities has taken me to travel to Asia and Europe. I rely on basic principles of physics, gut feeling, rewiring of the brain, and Karma theory-As you sow, so shall you reap. I strongly believe in the higher power and power of the universe and that one can regulate one’s destiny. My mantra for remaining mindful is Acceptance, Gratitude, and Forgiveness. I am a survivor of domestic abuse, but I like to call myself a fighter. I have three loving children, a daughter, and twin boys, who are well-settled in their lives in the USA. I live in Chicago .
