Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/08/02

It's always so fun to talk with Connilyn Cossette, and today's episode of Book Talk is a delight. In her latest novel, Shield of the Mighty, she brings a character from her prior series back — only now he's a grown-up soldier in Saul's army. The heroine is a widow who hates everything about Saul, so there is a clash from the first moment the two meet. Fundamentally this book is a story of moving from brokenness to healing, from vengeance to a place where you leave it all to God. She

2024/07/26

Jocelyn Green is one of those authors that I always love to talk with. She's such a smart writer who cares deeply about the history and characters of the books she writes. I love her books, but I love even more digging into why she picks the stories she does. Today we're talking about The Hudson Collection, her latest novel that is about a woman who is an ornithologist who is assigned to catalogue a bequeathed collection of stuffed birds for her museum. Elsa is a fascinating character who

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/07/19

Today I have the fun of bringing together three of my writing friends for a conversation where we talk about our books, how we research, and whether our genres chose us or we chose them. Janine Rosche writes contemporary romance with women's fiction threads, and her latest book The Road Before Us released in May. Janyre Tromp writes historical, primarily WWII, with gritty realism and a thread of romance, and her latest Darkness Calls the Tiger also released in May. Susan Tuttle writes

2024/07/12

Rachel Hauck is one of my dearest writing friends so it is always a treat to have her on Book Talk. I had such fun talking to her about her newest book Meet Me at the Starlight. We got all nostalgic about rollerskating and the place rollerskating rinks played in our growing-up years. Rachel's process is a little different than mine. She likes to just keep writing and trust that the story will reveal itself. I'm not that trusting I guess!With her books, she tends to write about the types of

137: Jen Turano

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/07/05

Jen Turano is one of my favorite authors of the Gilded Age rom-com. She starts with a bang and romps through to the end, usually with a swirl of mystery and fun. Meeting Her Match is no different, so it is a delight to have Jen back on Book Talk. It was so much fun to talk about how she likes to have something happen to her characters — on steroids and then amp it up even more. She's currently writing a book every nine months, which gives her a little more time to breathe, as she cycles through

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/06/28

There is something so fun and sweet about introducing you to debut authors. That first book is such a precious and risky gift to the world. Today Nicole Miller is joining me on this episode of Book Talk. It was such fun to talk about her novel Until Our Time Comes, which is set in Poland during WWII. Nicole has long loved horses, so it isn't surprising that horses play a large role in this novel. She's also loved digging into bloodlines and wondered how to go about making an Arabian ugly

135: Jenny Erlingsson

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/06/21

One of my favorite things to do on Book Talk is introduce you to debut authors, and that's exactly what I get to do today. Jenny Erlingsson's debut book Her Part to Play is releasing, and I had such a good time connecting with Jenny from Iceland. Iceland, y'all! This book is her debut novel and was inspired by The Chosen because she became curious about the life behind the scenes on set. The heroine is a makeup artist, and Jenny spent a lot of time reading and talking to make-up artists

2024/06/14

Today, it's a delight to have Misty Beller on Book Talk. A busy mother of five, we were having a good conversation about the need to edit our lives when we remembered to hit record. Don't worry, we made sure to go back and include that for you, too.Rocky Mountain Journey is the third book in her current series, that follows four sisters who are on a mission to honor their father's dying wish. This novel is filled with the theme of searching, both for the heroine and the hero. When I

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/06/07

Some authors are simply a delight to talk with, and Gabrielle Meyers is one of those. The fact she made time to chat in the middle of a week with a book launch, edits, book deadline, and proposal? I get tired just typing all that up!For a Lifetime is the third book in a series I have adored...but I am delighted to share that books four and five are coming! These mystical realism novels are such fun and bend my mind in the best way. This one has twin sisters who are time travelers between the Salem

132: Angela Carlisle

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/05/31

I love introducing y'all to debut authors, and today's conversation with Angela Carlisle is such a fun one. Angela's first novel Secondary Target is a page-turning romantic suspense that kept me reading when I did not have time. That's the sign of a compelling book! This novel contains a secret identity plot with a cold case all twisted up with a lost love story. There are so many secrets in this book that I asked her if they were all intentional. Angela said no because she's not

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/05/17

Today, it's a delight to have Amanda Dykes join me on Book Talk. A busy mother of four, Amanda first decided to be a writer when she realized she was telling her students to follow their dreams and realized she needed to do the same. She started with a children's book, and when she got a rejection, she had a choice. Go forward or stop. Fortunately for all of us, she decided to keep writing, but this time with full-length novels. Her advice to writers is to go for your dream. You don't

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/05/10

Shelley Shepard Gray has been writing her award-winning Christian novels since 2000. Today I'm delighted to have her on Book Talk to discuss her latest, Unforgiven. Like many, when she started writing, it was a new hobby. She wanted to be a principal, but one day forgot a book to read at a break, so decided to start writing one. She soon found that the stories and characters wouldn't let her go. Something that Shelley loves is the freedom of the first draft. They're messy, but around

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/05/03

Nicole Deese is one of those people I would love to hang out with. Our two extroverted selves would have too much fun catching up on all things life and writing. Until we can actually do that, recording Book Talk episodes is a fun way to connect and welcome you into the fun. Today's chapter of Book Talk is a delightful way to let you experience all the joy and delight that is Nicole Deese.Nicole's latest novel, The Roads We Follow, is a contemporary romance with a cross-country flair.

2024/04/12

Jaime Jo Wright is no stranger to Book Talk or to award-winning fiction, so it is delightful to have her back for a conversation about her latest novel Night Falls on Predicament Avenue. We talk about everything from how she comes up with her spooky ideas. I love how she pulls ideas from newspaper stories and so much more. We also talked about whether the contemporary or historical thread tries to take over when she's writing her split-time novels.This was one of her most difficult books to

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/04/05

In today's episode of Book Talk with Cara, it's a delight to introduce you to Sarah Loudin Thomas and take you behind the scenes of her latest book These Tangled Threads. I so enjoyed chatting with her because we talked about a novel set at one of my favorite locations, the Biltmore Estate. What I didn't know before our conversation was that Sarah had worked at the Biltmore for about six years, and that love and passion for the history of America's castle comes through loud and

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/03/29

Sometimes there's an episode where there's just a depth that comes out, and this is one of them. Today I'm delighted to introduce you to my new writing friend Heather Kaufman. There are some books that you can't walk away from writing and Up From Dust was one of those books for Heather. The story of Martha, it's a book that she felt a strong sense of stewardship when she was writing it. Martha was the recipient of one of the seven I am statements from Jesus, and I loved digging

2024/03/22

Do you love a novel that incorporates the Edwardian period, romance, and mystery? Then you will love the latest novel and series by Roseanna White. In this episode of Book Talk, I loved chatting with Roseanna about her latest novel A Noble Scheme, and her writing in general. Roseanna and her husband run a small publishing house while she also writes full-time, so Roseanna brings a unique perspective to the writing world. I have to tell you I have been aching to get my hands on this book since I read

I've never considered myself a cowboy romance person, but I do consider myself an avid Karen Witemeyer book reader. Her books launch to the top of my TBR pile with each release, so it's a delight to welcome her back to Book Talk. Today we are chatting about where she found her inspiration for cowboy romance — and it goes deeper than living in Texas, y'all.I loved digging into her latest series, based on retellings of fairy tales. But these fairy tales have all kinds of twists — and not

Book Talk with Cara Putman ·

2024/03/08

From the moment I read my first Patrick Bowers novel, I've been a huge fan of Steven James' books. Then I met him at ThrillerFest. Since then we've interacted through ACFW and other organizations, and I've come to admire Steven as a master writer and teacher of writing. That's why I'm excited to introduce you to Steven in this episode of Book Talk. In his latest novel, Broker of Lies, Steven has created a hero who isn't an action hero. Unlike Patrick Bowers, who is a

Today it is such fun to introduce you to my friend and debut author Angela Bell. There is something so sweet about that first, full-length book, and when you tackle something that blends Around the World in 80 Days with Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies you get the wonder and magic of A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventures. Y'all, I loved this novel. It was such fun with Victorian whimsy and a hint of steampunk. Historical romance, heavy on wonder and fun. Mystery with a tinge of
