  Kindness is Free: A Fantastic interview with Kieran Scott

  Aug 26, 202630 minS14

  Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Jamie Baynes. A few months ago, I got an email from a publicist asking if I’d like to interview New York Times bestselling author Kieran Scott on the podcast. Well, we all know how much I enjoyed talking to authors, so I readily agreed, then read her bio and was stunned. She’s written 50 novels. 5-0. Incredible. And I’m lucky enough to have her as a guest, and now you’re lucky enough to hear her. I hope you enjoy our conversation. After you listen, let me know what you think. Is she a joy or what? If anyone embodies positivity, it’s Kieran. She was an absolute joy to talk to, and I certainly hope she comes back on. Make sure you check out her newest book, The Getaway , then go check out all of her other books. Check out her Amazon page here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kieran-Scott/author/B001HMNM32?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1787006557&sr=8-1&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=e942fc75-4db2-46d3-9881-e6dd20f021aa Her website here: https://www.kieranscott.com/ And you can also follow her on Instagram and Threads: @kieranscottauthor. So until next time, take care of one another, be kind to each other, and as always, thanks for listening.

  Never retire and always look for what's next- An interview with George P. Pelecanos

  Jul 29, 202629 minS14

  Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. For this episode, I’m delighted to have on George P. Pelacanos, the author of over twenty novels and the writer and producer of several shows, including The Wire , Treme , The Deuce , Bosch , and many more. I began reading Mr. Pelecanos Derek Strange series when it first came out in 2001 and have been a fan ever since. So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy the episode. After you've listened, please let me know what you think. There’s an old saying that goes, never meet your heroes. Well, I’m happy to say that does not apply to having your heroes on your podcast. As I mentioned before, I’ve been a fan for over twenty-five years, and I’m still a fan. I’d recommend all of his work, books and films, but I’m especially partial to the Derek Strange series. Here's a link to his IMDB page so you can check out his filmography: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0670782/ Then, head over to his Amazon page to peruse his written work: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B000AQ4T38?ccs_id=2dfa3ebf-bfdb-430b-aa6b-83e133a9832e I’d like to thank Mr. Pelecanos for taking the time to talk to a small independent podcaster, and I’d like to thank all my listeners for the same thing. So until next time, take care of one another, and as always, thanks for listening.

  Episode #1

  Another fantastic interview with George Prior.

  Jul 22, 202628 minS14

  Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. After a brief sabbatical, I’m back and thrilled to welcome back bestselling author George Prior. I reached out to George when his first Casey Stafford novel was released, and he was kind enough to do an interview with me. Well, now he’s on Casey Stafford novel number three, and he’s still making time for me. So, I’ll just end this intro right here and dive into it. I hope you enjoy the episode. And after you listen, let me know what you think of George’s 2nd episode. It’s tough for me to talk about novels and not give away any significant plot twists, just ask a friend or two, but George’s novels are so amazing, I just want to talk all about them. Anyway, I highly recommend that you read all of his novels, but especially this one, just to learn about how awful puppy farms and dogfighting are. It’s truly eye-opening. I’d like to thank George for coming on, and I am eagerly waiting his next novel so I can invite him back. I hope you come back as well. So, until next time, take care of one another, and thanks for listening. Make sure you check out George's website here: https://georgeprior.com/ If you're an Amazon shopper, check out his books here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGVZKW6V?binding=kindle_edition&qid=1783894620&sr=8-1&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tkin

  A fantastic conversation with Marlon Marrache, host of "The Marlon Marrache Show”

  May 1, 202634 minS13

  <p>Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. I feel as if I start every intro with, “A few weeks ago, a publicist emailed me about….” But it’s true, and I love it. So, I get this email about a retired cop who’s a podcast host (these retired cops, is that all they do?) who was with LAPD Internal Affairs. Would I like to interview him? Well, what cop could refuse an offer to flip the script and put IA in the hot seat? Little did I know he’d flip the script back with the oldest trick i...

  Apr 24, 202629 minS13

  <p>Welcome back to the podcast, I’m Jamie Baynes. A few weeks ago, I received an email from a publicist (long-time listeners may have noticed that I often start my intros with this sentence) asking if I’d like to interview author Neil Adams. Neil, the publicist wrote,  had written his debut novel, From the Pile, A 9/11 First Responder Story, and would I be interested in interviewing him. Long-time listeners will also know my response: Absolutely, I would. So, here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation.</p><p>After you listen, let me know what you think of Ne...
