Double the Lies with Patricia Raybon - Desideratum

What this episode covers

This is a murder mystery. It's the second book in a 1920s series starring the prim, poor but clever, Annalee Spain - a fan of Sherlock Holmes - who solves murder and crime in Colorado's dangerous Klan era. We’re talking with Colorado author Patricia Raybon about race and faith, why we love a good mystery, and how transparency is essential. I want to thank The Colorado Sun for shining their light on Patricia’s work. I listen to the Sun's podcast called The Daily Sun-Up, and every Sunday I check out their SunLit feature for author spotlights. Sunlit editor Kevin Simpson often talks to authors on The Daily Sun-ups Friday podcast. Look for it wherever you’re listening to this podcast. Patricia is part of a panel discussion at the Colorado Sun’s SunFest ideas conference this week. You can get more info at coloradosun.com .One more big thank you to her publisher Tyndale House, the audio publisher One Audiobooks for the excerpts from Double the Lies. And, as always, thank you for listening. https://www.patriciaraybon.com/ this is a link to Patricia's website https://coloradosun.com/sunfest/ this is a link for the Colorado Sun's SunFest conference

Communication Desideratum Michele Buc, MSC How to Communicate without feeling like a lost bottle drifting in the vast ocean. Discovery and Exploration of the Mississippi Valley by John Gilmary Shea (1824 - 1892) LibriVox "It has long been a desideratum to have in English the early narratives, of the discovery and exploration of the Mississippi. Marquette's map and voyage have indeed appeared, but the narrative varies in no small degree from the authentic manuscript, and the map is not at all a copy of that still preserved, as it came from the hand of the great explorer. These published from original manuscripts, and accompanied by the narratives of the missionaries in La Salle's expedition, are now first presented in an accessible shape, and complete the annals of the exploration.The life of Marquette, and the history of the exploration itself, are the result of many years study of the early Spanish and French authorities, both printed and manuscript, some of which have never before been consulted." - Summary by the Author Discovery and Exploration of the Mississippi Valley John Gilmary Shea "It has long been a desideratum to have in English the early narratives, of the discovery and exploration of the Mississippi.
