Author BioGrowing up in New York in the late 1960s, Audrey Birnbaum assumed that watching Holocaust documentaries was a perfectly normal family activity. On her first day of elementary school, Audrey sat in the cafeteria, unwrapped her liverwurst sandwich, and excitedly told her new classmates about her public television proclivities. Her Brady Bunch-watching peers had never heard of PBS, but they had heard of PB&J (and they weren’t too keen on liverwurst either). They made it abundantly clear: Audrey’s childhood was, in fact, not normal at all.We will never know whether it was schoolyard bullying or watching tragic Shoah documentaries that was responsible for Audrey’s acute sensitivity to others; but that empathy may have helped pave the way for her choice of medicine as a career. Audrey chose to specialize in Pediatric Gastroenterology — for who needed more help than children; and where could anyone feel more suffering than in one’s gut? Day after day, she watched intricate family dynamics play out in the context of fragile health. Audrey listened to each patient’s story until she could retell it with clarity and give it meaning. Through witnessing and recording these tender dramas, the seeds of writing had been planted.Those seeds took root when, shortly after her father’s death in 2018, Audrey stumbled upon his extensive notes detailing his childhood escape from Nazi Germany. Audrey felt compelled to start writing his riveting story – a story addressing themes that are pressingly relevant today. AMERICAN WOLF deals with tragedy and loss, while punctuating the triumph of the human spirit. It is a memoir of Holocaust survival, a family drama, an immigration tale, and an often funny coming-of-age story that is sure to have an impact on anyone who has experienced prejudice, displacement, or questions about their identity.With her cherished medical career in the rearview mirror, Audrey now enjoys singing, writing, reading, and being with friends who also had quirky childhoods. She lives with her husband in Westchester County, New York, and has three marvelous grown children. Audrey is currently working on her second book.Timestamps00:15 Introduction1:59 What is your book about?5:39 What really inspired you to write your book?7:34 When writing your book, who were you thinking of who the book is for?11:01 How lnog have you been writing and what made you really start?14:16 What was your schedule like when you are writing a book?15:41 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?16:25 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?17:42 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?18:52 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?19:21 What books did you grow up reading did you have an all time favorite?22:36 Now as an adult what are some of your favorite books?25:23 Any advice for someone just starting out reading again?26:51 Any advice for someone just starting to write?31:12 Whats one thing people are generally surprised to find out about you?33:23 Any additional comments?35:11 Where is the best place for readers to connect with you?Connect with Audrey BirnbaumWebsiteInstagramLinksSupport the PodcastNewsletterFollow usRipollsworkshop Reads Podcast InstagramRipollsworkshop Reads WebsiteRipollsworkshop Reads YouTubeRipollsworkshop Reads InstagramOur Host Courtney Ripoll-McBrideMusic Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride LinksSupport the Podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshopNewsletter https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob Follow usRipollsworkshop Reads Podcast Instagram https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Ripollsworkshop Reads Website https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contactRipollsworkshop Reads YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads  Ripollsworkshop Reads Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads  Our Host Courtney Ripoll-McBride https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/  Music Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass

Sam Fosters BioMy ancestral home is a dying little river port on the Illinois River. My father was, as the 60's country song tells, "Next of kin to the wayward wind." One result being that until I came to Los Angeles for college, I'd never lived for than two years in the same place in my entire life.I was graduated in 1966 like every man in America who graduated that year I had a choice for my graduation trip - Canada or Vietnam. My antipathy to cold weather and a little of Socrates wisdom I'd picked up in college caused me to select the latter. So my first job out of college was with the U.S.M.C. A few years later I was honorably discharged after 5 months in a Naval Hospital with body and spirit reasonably intact.I've always been a storyteller, but at twenty-four I was unwilling to "starve for art" and wanted disparately to find stability. So, I married, moved back to Los Angeles and dove into corporate America. It was not until I was in my mid-forties and a father of two with a house and a little money that I was brave enough to indulge my creative impulses.The stories I've always liked best have more than a plot and couple of memorable characters, they also introduce me to an entire world I do not know. I write about things I know so I can show you worlds you may not. My first book was about a business hustle in Los Angeles. My second was about race in the U.S.M.C. during the Vietnam era. But this story, The American Trilogy, the one led you to read this bio, is about the America I grew up with and know well, whose history I understand better perhaps than its present, and which I will love until die.The measure of a man is the things he's willing to die for. This story is about the things in America men have been willing to die for.Timestamps00:15 Introduction4:22 What are your books about?7:16 What inspired you to write your books?10:11 When writing your books, who are your books for?11:33 How long have you been writing?15:42 What is your schedule like when you are writing?17:12 Is there anything in your writing space you need to help you stay focused?19:45 What are your favorite writing snacks or drinks?20:43 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?23:17 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?25:14 What type of books did you grow up reading?31:11 Now as an adult what are your favorite authors or books?32:14 Do you have any advice for someone just starting to read again?33:42 Any advice for those aspiring to write their own book?36:10 What's one thing people are generally surprised to find out about you?37:09 Any Additional Comments?39:12 Where's the best place for our readers to connect with you and find your books?Connect with Sam FosterWebsiteLinksSupport the PodcastNewsletterFollow usRipollsworkshop Reads Podcast InstagramRipollsworkshop Reads WebsiteRipollsworkshop Reads YouTubeRipollsworkshop Reads InstagramOur Host Courtney Ripoll-McBrideMusic Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride LinksSupport the Podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshopNewsletter https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob Follow usRipollsworkshop Reads Podcast Instagram https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Ripollsworkshop Reads Website https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contactRipollsworkshop Reads YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads  Ripollsworkshop Reads Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads  Our Host Courtney Ripoll-McBride https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/  Music Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass

Author Bio:I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.Connect with Guilia LagomarsinoWebsiteLinksSupport the PodcastNewsletterFollow usRipollsworkshop Reads Podcast InstagramRipollsworkshop Reads WebsiteRipollsworkshop Reads YouTubeRipollsworkshop Reads InstagramOur Host Courtney Ripoll-McBrideMusic Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride LinksSupport the Podcast https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshopNewsletter https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob Follow usRipollsworkshop Reads Podcast Instagram https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Ripollsworkshop Reads Website https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contactRipollsworkshop Reads YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads  Ripollsworkshop Reads Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads  Our Host Courtney Ripoll-McBride https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/  Music Created/Episode Mastered By: Patrick McBride https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass

Carrie Carter has a profound love for Japan, cats, sumo, dioramas, and eating unusual foods. She has traveled with her husband Jim to Japan fourteen times, so her numerous holidays across her favorite country were the inspiration for her first book, Whiskers Abroad: Ashi and Audrey’s Adventures in Japan. Carrie has run multiple marathons including the Tokyo Marathon, and as expected, Carrie and Jim live with an adorable cat named Frenemy, who was unhappy at not being selected as the model for the book.Carrie lives in Houston, TX and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. At home, she loves to cook, design/create Halloween costumes, and daydream about meeting Jacques Pepin. She dislikes overly dramatic music used in reality TV shows.
