THE INSP CHANNEL BLOG
I regularly contribute articles to the INSP blog. Here are my most recent posts. I will soon be including links to all of my INSP articles.
RECENT INSP ARTICLES:
RENDEZVOUS WITH A WRITER
Every Thursday Bobbi and Jim Bell host the podcast Rendezvous With a Writer, and interview an author. On the first Thursday of every month I join them, present the news in the world of Western films and TV, and take part in their guest’s interview.
For our June 2025 show, our guests are authors of books about Reno Divorce Dude Ranches. Sandra McGee, with her late husband, William L. McGee, is the author of the memoir, THE DIVORCE SEEKERS. Peggy Wynne Borgman is the author of the novel, THE BETTER HALF.
For our May 2025 show, our guest is Anne Hillerman, daughter of Tony Hillerman. She has continued writing her father’s series of Leaphorn, Chee and Manuelito, Reservation-based mysteries. Her 10th, SHADOW OF THE SOLSTICE, has just been published.
