WHAT IS “THE AUTHORS SHOW®”?
The Authors Show is a professional interview podcast created in 2005 that offers participants multiple benefits that authors who are serious about marketing their work need to consider, especially inasmuch as these benefits have long lasting effects. The Authors Show broadcasts interviews on multiple “channels”, each featuring one individual author for a full 24hrs Monday through Thursday, and 3-day weekends (Fri/Sat/Sun).
Grace in the Wings
Grace Michelle has everything she wants; a home, a family, and a future career as a costume designer for the Ziegfeld Follies. Pretty good for a girl who was orphaned at a young age and living on the streets of New York City during prohibition. But when her sister Sophia, the star of the show is murdered, Grace’s once protected life is shattered.
Beholden to Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., the man who saved her from the streets, shy and introverted Grace must fill her sister’s Broadway shoes to save the fledging show and ultimately find Sophia’s killer. But on a transcontinental publicity train tour to California, it becomes clear that Grace’s life too, is in danger. Who could want her and Sophia dead? Flo Ziegfeld who is gaining publicity from the murder? His jealous wife? The man she and Sophia almost killed while on the streets? Grace has nowhere to go and no one to trust, even the Private Investigator, Chet Riker, who’s been hired to protect her. She is exposed to the dark nature of the era and shady characters of the prohibition.
Chet Riker is trying to piece his life back together after return from the battlefield in France. But he has a problem, a big one. In an attempt to save his estranged mother’s life, he’s become indebted to prohibition era mob-boss Joe Marciano. Marciano wants him to pay up, or else. Chet goes to former client Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr., for work who just happens to need a body guard for his new star. Chet’s hardened theory that love only produces pain is tested when he meets the mysterious and innocent Grace.
When things get desperate for the show, Ziegfeld turns to wealthy and ruthless Marciano for a fast fix, but there is a price. Chet’s debt and the mob-bosses access to the beautiful Grace Michelle. When things go wrong and Marciano kidnaps Grace and neutralizes Chet, Grace must find a way to avenge her sister’s death, save herself, and the man she’s grown to love in the age of prohibition.
