This is the spot for the audio files from the Author Talk live phone conference interviews. A given file will be posted here for 1 week after the live interview. During that time anyone can listen to it if you missed the live event, but after that it disappears. But not for good. Registered users of this site will always have access to all past interviews. Old interviews are listed last so you can see what you missed, but their links have been removed; you’ll just have to sign up for the next live event to not be left out.

Feb 10, 2013, I interviewed Sarah Stuart, a soon-to-be author and practitioner/teacher of NLP, Zen, faith healing (as in the healing of one’s faith, not the laying on of hands stuff), emotional well being, and unbeliever in the concept of limits (here here!), and an all around fun and interesting person to be around. Listen to what she has to say on these and other subjects over here, then go over to her site to find out more.

On Nov 11, 2012, I interviewed Dr. Margaret Aranda, author of “No More Tears: A Physician-Turned-Patient Inspired Recovery”.

A book written, in fact, while she was still recovering in the hospital.
