Richard Probert interviewed on NNY 360 by Chris Brock

SACKETS HARBOR — Richard E. Probert’s new novel, much like his 2016 novel, “That Good Night,” features a character going off on a journey of discovery. But while “That Good Night” involved sailing — something Mr. Probert is very familiar with — “Whereabouts Unknown” features characters who broke new horizons for the author.

For example, one of the characters in “Whereabouts Unknown” is a stone carver.

“I was always interested in that,” Mr. Probert said. “But I’m not sure how that character came about.”

But it helps when the characters he envisions begin “talking” to him. Some of those characters are easy to relate to, while others are hard for Mr. Probert to get through to.

LACIE’S SECRETS News!

Monday, April 11th, 2022

Lacie’s Secrets reviewed by Criminal Element.

Big Little Lies meets The Haunting of Hill House in Lacie’s Secrets, the latest psychological thriller from writing duo Teresa Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist, authors of the award-winning thriller The Woman in the Park. Read Janet Webb’s review!

Kate hasn’t seen her mother for eighteen years, not since the mysterious and tragic disappearance of her younger sister Lacie. Susan, her mother’s caretaker, phones Kate to tell her that Grace is dead. It seems that Kate’s long self-imposed exile from Villa Magda, the gorgeous, sprawling oceanside estate in Maine where she spent every summer of her girlhood, is coming to an end. Months later, accompanied by family friends, Kate, her husband Charlie and their son Andrew make the trek to Maine: she’s determined to sell Villa Magda and put that part of her life behind her. 

Time slips away when Kate sees Villa Magda again: Kate is flooded with memories from the day her sister disappeared. Grace was an inveterate party-giver. Kate recalls, “her mother was hosting one of her magical parties for Lacie—”this year’s theme was Alice in Wonderland—and she was giddy. Kate only saw her mother really happy when she was in the middle of preparing and hosting a party, with Susan always by her side helping with the food, cutting flowers, and checking the guest list.” Unfortunately, the party went terribly wrong.

Throwing Bears for George

A discovery on Washington Island brings new controversy among the locals, and Emily Martin has plans that will annoy all concerned. Meanwhile, Nancy is in love, Nelsen’s is for sale, and Fiona’s resignation from local government creates an opening that reopens old grievances. Even among the bickering, though, when bad news reaches the island, the shocked community forgets its animosities and rallies to offer support.

JUST ANNOUNCED
The second novel from writing duo Teresa Sorkin and Tullan Holmqvist is almost here!

Set on a remote estate along the coast of Maine, Lacie’s Secret’s is a psychological thriller that pays homage to classics like Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and The Shining by Stephen King.

E.G. Scott, international bestselling author of In Case of Emergency, says of Lacie’s Secrets: “Sorkin and Holmqvist take a slew of intriguing ingredients—long-buried family secrets, the sometimes-fragile subjectivity of memory, a seemingly idyllic setting that masks a steady undercurrent of dread—whip them into a heady, suspenseful concoction and top it all off with an absolute wallop of an ending!”

WHAT WE’RE READING
Forgotten in Death
By J.D. Robb

Forgotten in Death is the newest book in J.D. Robb’s In Death series. It is nice to read a book in a long running series (this is book 53). When reading a series like this, it is like hanging out with friends and catching up with their lives. Except in this case we also get to watch murder cases be solved! Sometimes I figure out the mystery too soon in these books, however this one kept me guessing until almost the very end of the book!

Rating: 5/5 stars
Lore Olympus: Volume One
By Rachel Smythe

Lore Olympus: Volume One is the first installment in Rachel Smythe’s incredibly popular Webtoon comic by the same name. This book includes the first 25 episodes from the comic, and there are already plans to release Volume Two next summer. The creator describes it as “a modern-day deconstruction of the classic Greek myth” of Hades and Persephone. This is one of the only graphic novels I’ve read, and because it’s the perfect mix of being visually stunning while drawing the reader in with a fresh take on a classic legend, I think it holds wide appeal for everyone.                            

Rating: 5/5 stars

A FEW WORDS ABOUT WORDS News!

Monday, August 16th, 2021

Joe Diorio interviewed on Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb

Joe Diorio is the author of the new book A Few Words About Words: A Common-Sense Look at Writing and Grammar.

Q: What inspired you to write A Few Words About Words?

A: The book traces its roots to a compilation of my monthly email newsletter of the same name. Each issue is only about 700 words or so. I had been writing the newsletter on and off for nearly 30 years and figured I may have enough material for a book.

More important, though, is that I wanted to reach a broader audience (The newsletter had a readership of about 5,000 at the time; it’s up to about 7,000 now. You can subscribe at my website – Joe Diorio Writer, editor. – Words on paper. That’s me. (joedioriowritereditor.com)) and I thought having a book could create opportunities to share a message to a bigger audience.

In my case the message is that yes, I’m bad at English grammar, but with work and perseverance I – and anyone for that matter – can become proficient. I decided to inject humor into the book to make it unique.

There seem to be plenty of books about overcoming educational deficiencies. Tara Westover’s Educated comes immediately to mind, and I don’t want to replicate that. I wanted to create something that tells readers that yes, writing can be hard sometimes. But writing can also be fun.

Whereabouts Unknown

ONE OF TEN LONGLISTED IN THE 2021 SHELF UNBOUND BEST INDIE BOOK COMPETITION

1993. For 18-year-old Beth Adamski, life is just starting to take shape. She’s set to attend Indiana University in the fall, her boyfriend and her best friend are like family, and the graveyard shifts she works at Walmart will help her save up for an apartment of her own.

But when her parents die in a tragic car accident, Beth not only discovers that she has a sister; she also finds that her parents weren’t exactly who she thought they were. Determined to find her sister, Beth sets out on a journey that leads her to discover more about herself than she could have ever imagined.

1953. Every day, Milwaukee-born Jim Robinson watches his mother wait for his MIA father to return home from the Korean War. As the years pass and his father never appears, young Jim grows lonely, resigned to a life of solitude, until Sal Conti—a crusty, old, Italian stone carver living nearby—takes Jim under his wing.

As Jim grows older, his life’s journey takes him from a sheltered and secure life in Milwaukee, to the war-torn jungle of southern Vietnam. Back in the U.S. after his service ends, Jim searches for a place to call home and the one thing he longs for most: connection. Spanning decades and continents, Whereabouts Unknown links two unlikely characters who may just have what the other one is looking for.

Insightful, captivating, and timeless, Whereabouts Unknown is about the bonds of family—the family we’re born with and the one we create.
