DLD| Robin Maxwell |Ep 57

from Desert Lady Diaries Hosted by Dawn Davis, Host & Producer

Robin and Max were on their way to falling in love when Max brought Robin to Joshua Tree National Park to show her this desert place he loved. A few years later, they found themselves looking at property in Pipes Canyon, bought 22 acres and have lived there ever since. They've co-created a private retreat center there, drawing soul-weary travelers from cities around the world. When the Sawtooth Fire of 2006 swept through Pipes Canyon and Pioneertown, Robin & Max escaped their little piece of desert paradise through a wall of fire thinking their home was destroyed and they would have to rebuild. Robin credits a trough of water strategically dumped on their house from a fire-fighting helicopter for saving their home where they've lived for 20 years. After moving to Pipes Canyon, the mountains, mesas, flora and fauna inspired Robin so much, she wrote two television series and 10 more novels. Most of her books are historical fiction with females at the center of the stories, like 'The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn'. In this episode, Robin reads a small excerpt from her newest book, 'Atlantos - The Early Earthe Chronicles - Book 1' is the first in a trilogy of science fiction, a departure for Robin's writing, though she has had an interest in the 'beyond' since having a 'close encounter', at the age of two, in New Jersey. www.RobinMaxwell.com

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011. Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Epic: Silver Wing Realm EPIC is your new HQ for Realm’s exhilarating action and adventure stories, with new episodes dropping every Monday introduced by host Faith McQuinn.
