  Episode #5

  A very candid, funny and wonderful interview with bestselling author, Yasmin Angoe

  Oct 1, 202631 minS14

  Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Jamie Baynes. I’m delighted to have back on for her 100th appearance on the show, bestselling author Yasmin Angoe. So, maybe I exaggerated a bit about the number of times she's been a guest, but she’s so delightful, I’d feel lucky indeed if she did do a hundred episodes. We’re going to jump right into it, but a disclaimer first: I forgot to hit the record button until after about 45 seconds of our conversation, so let’s just say that it begins rather abruptly. I don’t know how to edit it out, so enjoy a very candid moment early on. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Then after you listen, tell me.....Are you excited to read The Ferryman’s Daughter, out now, and Zero Margin , which drops March 2027? Of course you are. I am too. As usual, Yasmin is a delight, and I can’t wait until she comes back for episode one hundred and one. Check out her website here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://yasminangoe.com/ And follow her on Instagram here ⬇️⬇️⬇️ author_yasminangoe And until next time, take care of one another, treat each other well, and always, thanks for listening.

  David Deane Haskell- Listening to your inner critic

  Sep 2, 202631 minS14

  Welcome back to the podcast. I’m Jamie Baynes. About a month ago, David Deane Haskell reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in having him on as a guest. He’d written a nonfiction book called ‘Wounded Angels’ and wanted to talk about it. Well, of course I wanted to have him on an episode, but since he’s currently living in Tokyo, scheduling was interesting, to say the least. But here he is. I hope you enjoy our conversation. And after you listen, let me know what you think of David. I absolutely love how he uses positive affirmations to talk himself up, instead of putting himself down. He’s completely right that most people probably think doing that is weird or touchy-feely. But so what? As he said, he’s the most valuable thing that he possesses. I hope you feel the same way about yourself. And if you don’t? Put in some work. Check out David's website here: https://daviddeanehaskell.com/ I’m looking forward to having David on again, and I’m also looking forward to giving you more positive people doing what they do best. So until next time, take care of one another, love yourself, and as always, thanks for listening.

  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.

  Episode #2

  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
