MURDERS IN THE FIRST DEGREE
MEET THE AUTHOR Podcast: LIVE – Episode 182
Originally aired LIVE Wednesday November 13 ,2024
Featuring Authors JAMES CALLAN, KELLY MARSHALL & JINX SCHWARTZ.
ABOUT JAMES: James R. Callan took a degree in English intent on writing. But when writing did not support a family, he returned to graduate school in mathematics. After graduate school, he worked at a research center for twelve years before he and his wife started a database company, which they ran for twenty-five years.
After a successful career in mathematics and computer science, receiving grants from the National Science Foundation and NASA, and being listed in Who’s Who in Computer Science and Two Thousand Notable Americans, (and all four of his kids graduated from college and self-supporting), James R. Callan turned to his first love—writing.
ABOUT KELLY: I always thought I would communicate in the world as a writer. As a child I was a voracious reader and knew someday I would pen a great novel. Life sometimes takes left turns though, and I went to broadcasting school instead of a four-year college. I wanted to be the next Barbara Walters and make a million a year. That didn’t happen, but I did spend thirty years having fun, spinning records, interviewing people, doing love song dedications. I had a ball until…
The U.S. Congress passed The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowing broadcast corporations to own multiple radio stations in one market. The gobbling began and soon behemoth broadcasting corporations ate up radio stations like locusts in a wheat field. And radio announcers like me were axed on bloody Fridays with surgical precision. I was working for a small radio station for chump change. Something had to give. I left radio, went to work for the US Federal Government, and in my private hours, began doing what I really loved. Writing.
ABOUT JINX: USA TODAY BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, Jinx Schwartz is a ninth-generation Texan who lived and worked all over the planet before dropping from the corporate world to write and cruise. Living aboard a boat for many years in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez inspired her Award-winning Hetta Coffey Series.
