Pop the champagne corks! After nearly a year in the making, the debut global webcast of Book●ed happens at 8 PM (EST) on Monday, July 8th. The book reviews and author interviews you’ve been waiting for will be just a mouse-click away, 24/7 anywhere in the world that you have internet access. You’ll be able to watch interviews, read excerpts and buy books via one very user-friendly website: www.bookedwebcast.com. The webcasts will also be available at other websites, including www.fenmark.net, and UStream.
As a writer moving in writing circles, I’ve learned that authors are very interesting people! And there’s almost always a back story to their book that is as interesting as the book itself. Meeting an author enhances the reading of their work. This is what my webcasts are about!
Book●ed will entertain, inform and enlighten you. It’s an innovative concept tying in modern technologies with time-tested communications techniques to connect authors and editors with booklovers. I invite you to join us on this exciting journey and let me know what you think. This concept is all about serving YOU!
For my debut show, I selected a multi-award-winning book that has broken new ground with a character that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. Bobbi Logan is the memorable protagonist-narrator in Renee James’ contemporary suspense/mystery/thriller, Coming Out Can Be Murder. Bobbi Logan, a sensitive, articulate transgender woman takes us on her personal journey as she transitions from a life as Bob Logan to her true gender. The very difficult, often heart-wrenching challenges she faces in her own life are entwined in the search for the brutal murderer of her best friend, another transgender woman. This page-turner takes place in and near Chicago, in evocatively-painted places that may be familiar or new to the reader.
The theme of “familiar” and “new” run throughout Coming Out Can Be Murder — in plot, place and character. Renee James brings years of editing experience to her forceful writing. She takes people, places and situations we may think of as “other than us” and helps us see the human qualities that make us more alike than different. She knows this well because she is a transgender woman.
Please join me for a fascinating book review and author interview with Renee James, starting July 8th at 8 PM (our shows are always available for viewing by visiting the Archives at www.bookedwebcast.com).
