Around the Globe with HEATHER INGEMAR

This week my transporter takes me to author Heather Ingemar's living room. Her house is old; a 1917 Sears and Roebuck. History adorns the walls–from old artwork to antique family branding irons. Multi-colored leaves litter the lawn outside. The wind blows around the eaves, making the old timbers creak. A few of the cattle she helps raise with her husband make lowing noises in the back lot. We kick back on her couch with a couple mugs of hot cocoa to discuss her writing.

(And I even shoveled her walk afterwards...just kidding. I actually accepted another hot chocolate, then shoveled her walk.)

Around the Globe with AUSTIN CAMACHO

As the new year begins, I thought I'd re-start my author interviews with Austin Comacho. he's written several mysteries published with Echelon Press. So, I hopped in my transporter, picked him up outside his house, but before I could enter a destination, he shoved me aside and punched in his own choice. A few seconds later we were deposited on an unknown deserted beach somewhere in the…
