    Where You Are: Randy Kraft Shares Her Short Story Collection
    Nov 7 2025
    Former journalist & communications strategist, now book reviewer and lecturer, Randy Kraft is the author of three novels and two story collections in print, ebooks and audio. Randy holds an MAW [Masters in Writing] MBA & BA, Lit.Raised in NYC, writing in So. California. You can check out her on-line book reviews at OCbookblog.substack.com

    A great friend to the show and a leading light in the Laguna Beach writing community, Randy joins us in this episode to talk about her latest work, Where You Are, a collection of ten short stories that asks the question: Is where you are the last stop or the next step? The stories in this new collection reflect the setbacks and second chances we encounter as we age. Loss and longing. Displacement and disenchantment. Surprising desire. New aspirations or latent ambitions. The transitions from where we have been to where we might yet be.


    Randy also gives a couple of well-deserved shout-outs in this episode to the fabulous photographer artist Jacques Garnier, who generously donated the art work for the cover of Where You Are and Diane's Books of Greenwich (CT), perhaps the greatest Independent Book Store in the US.

    Of Light & Lies: Darrell Denny
    Oct 27 2025
    Darrell Denny is the author of "Of Light & Lies", a heart thumping tale set on an isolated island with nowhere to hide. Helen and Juanita must decide—who can they trust? And what happens when the past won’t stay buried?

    Darrell writes pulse-pounding thrillers packed with intrigue, deception, and high-stakes suspense. A former newspaper journalist, Darrell spent years uncovering real-world truths, reporting on breaking news, conducting in-depth investigations, and telling stories that shaped public discourse—now, he uses his storytelling prowess to weave tales of page-turning fiction.

    The son of a military family, Darrell spent his early years moving between the U.S. and abroad, including time in Germany and Okinawa, Japan, eventually settling in Texas, where he attended high school in Copperas Cove. He has called Southern California home for the past 30 years, currently residing in Santa Ana with his wife, Mika, a graphic designer and fine artist. A proud father of four grown children and a doting grandpa to his granddaughter, he enjoys writing, reading, staying active at the gym, playing board games, and exploring new places and cultures through travel.
