Bestselling author SAMANTHA GREENE WOODRUFF joins BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss her newest release, THE TRADE OFF! We loved this novel set in 1920s NYC because it reminds us that we are human beings first and foremost. We talked about how women in the financial world, especially, were seen as the weaker, less intelligent sex, even though they had the right to vote. A woman stockbroker? Shocking! We talked about the family dynamics at play in this story - a mother who thought her son could do no wrong, a father and brother who encouraged our protagonist, Bea, at a time when nobody else did. We talked about anti Semitism and prejudice in all its forms. We also talked about risk and how Bea always went back to her core values when assessing it. The roaring 20s were a time of Ponzi Schemes, change, opportunity ... and profound loss when the stock market crashed in 1929. You'll love this discussion!

No. 1 New York Times Bestselling author PATRICIA CORNWELL returns to BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss IDENTITY UNKNOWN, her newest novel in the blockbuster Dr. Kay Scarpetta novels! This amazing series is about to launch on Amazon with an outstanding cast, including: Nicole Kidman (as Kay), Jamie Lee Curtis (Kay's sister, Dorothy), and Bobby Cannavale (as former detective Pete Marino)!

Before she wrote, Patricia asked herself what makes her wonder ... and then she enthralled us with her plot about unnatural phenomena and our present reality. We asked her about the importance of the heart-felt, heart-broken and heart-healing relationships that she weaves into these characters. Is love a mystery all its own? We discussed the otherworldly things happening in the background of this story, including "the others." Is the evil we know -- ourselves -- the one that should concern us the most? Patricia address AI and our constantly evolving technologies, especially in forensics. And of course we talked about the victim: the brilliant Sal Dante Giordano. He was an Italian astrophysicist and inventor ... and Dr. Kay Scarpetta's lifelong friend. He evokes the Renaissance polymaths of the past. We went as deep as we went high into the cosmos!
