8/1
- Interview with Barry Eva on "A
Book and a Chat with Storyheart"
11:00 a.m. Barry interviews authors (available as a podcast after the show) and is the author of the romantic adventure Across the Pond. |
“…many people my age would enjoy [Alysa of the Fields], as it ties escapist fiction with issues of human nature.”
Meredith
G.
“I enjoyed Alysa of the Fields very much; it's practically all I could think about after reading it. I am looking forward to Part II. I read as much as I had time for each night... I laughed, I cried and felt a great pride for Alysa for being so strong-willed. Your book has provoked many feelings in me, which can only mean that it has all the right 'ingredients' (pain, joy, love, pride, etc). Keep up the good work!”
Suzanne
Tobey
“I just finished Alysa of the Fields; thank you for a great book and the start of an excellent series. I'm a little old for young peoples books (66), but find that I enjoy them as much or even more than the adult stuff I generally read. I'm already a fan of Cornelia Funke and her series, now I'm adding you to the list!”
