“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia.

Hello Happy People,

Recently during J.R. Sanders’ interview with Dianne Burckhardt on her podcast, Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt - Book Talk Podcast, the pair learned they had many things in common, from mutual author friends, to both writing historical fiction, both are trained to work in law enforcement, and they are even both originally from Kansas, having lived in towns that are only an hour apart.

J.R. eventually moved away from the MidWest and settled in Southern California with his wife Rose, where he worked as a private investigator and as a police officer. It was his work in law enforcement that led to his interest in crime novels. His love for the Old West, he attributes his Dad and family outings he took him on as a child to places like the Dalton Gang hideout, the Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, Kansas, and of course, the infamous Dodge City.

It seemed like a natural progression to blend his two loves, crime and the Old West, to create the Nate Ross novels. Nate is a private investigator in 1938. If you are a fan of old Noir classic detectives, you will love the Nate Ross Series of books! But why not hear all about it from the author himself? Don't wait, go listen now!

In today's show you will hear Dianne Burckhardt conducting an interview on the convention floor with author Kasey Rogers and then Dianne and Pedro share their parting observations of their first visit to the Frankfurter Buchemesse. Kasey Rogers, Author and Domestic Abuse Prevention Activist Kasey spent much of her earlier career working in the commercial film industry in New York City by day and writing a musical in between film projects. After the birth of her twins, she switched gears to follow another passion, cooking. That passion led her and her late husband to turn a vacation property in Alexandria, Ontario, into a restaurant. Kasey is an outspoken advocate for women and speaks about the connection between domestic and financial abuse. Learn more about the I Know Why She Stayed Initiative on her website, kaseyrogers.com. Dianne and Pedro Burckhardt Pedro and I share our closing thoughts about our first visit to the Frankfurter Buchmesse and our plans for future attendance. It is safe to say, we will be back!

Normally we play "The Best of" shows from the season that is ending, but this year we are bringing you interviews we recorded live at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. This Buchmesse is the world's largest publishing convention and with these interviews we barely scratched the surface of the incredible vendors attending this conference. In today's show you will hear Dianne Burckhardt conducting interviews on the convention floor with these companies. They discuss business practices and products these companies provide. Abacus Brands Abacus Brands, led by CEO Steve Rad, is an innovative pioneer in educational toys. Combining books and Virtual Reality (VR) to create immersive learning experiences for all ages. These learning sets not only engage the viewer and make learning fun, they put you in the experience. You are not just reading about dinosaurs, you are walking with them. You are not just watching Bill Nye the Science Guy do experiments, you are in his lab with him and can do experiments yourself with his guidance. The Future of learning is "virtually" alive at Abacus Brands. Sweet Cherry Publishing Sweet Cherry Publishing had an incredible display of books on hand at the Frankfurter Buchmesse, presented by their UK and Export Sales Assistant, Ciara Myton. With everything from activity books to illustrated classics, they provide something to engage just about any child and reading level. According to Ciara, they cover everything from board books and nursery age titles all the way up to young adult fiction and unabridged classics. Enjoy, Dianne and the Book Banter Productions Crew PLEASE NOTE: these interviews are all recorded live on the convention floor. There is of course background noise due to the numerous amount of convention goers around us. We did our best to clean up the sound for you. We are looking into new technology to bring you even better sound next year. These are also minimally edited just to clean up the sound.
