Guest:Maryann Karinch Career In addition to the 17 books with my name on the cover, I have also ghostwritten books and done a lot of editing. In addition, I serve as a literary agent for non-fiction projects in several categories; if you are interested in that part of my life, please visit The Rudy Agency website. Recently, I also founded an ebook publishing company called GamePlan Press. As a consultant, I've had long-standing relationship with CalConnect, a group for whom I provide public relations services. My work with CalConnect has its roots in years of experience with technology companies and organization, most of it focused on marketing communications and public relations. As part of that technology background, I was a consultant to the American National Standards Institute, The Open Group, National Information Standards Organization, AT&T, WatchGuard Technologies, and Information Technology Industry Council, among other companies and trade groups. I was also an employee with a little company called Apple. And before plunging into the technology world, my career reflected my academic roots: arts and humanities. I had executive roles with both a children's museum and professional theater in Washington, DC. Education I earned a BA and MA in Speech and Drama from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. And since 1998, I have maintained a certification in personal training from the American Council on Exercise. Athletics As a competitor, I have done very well in these sports at various times of my life: gymnastics, bodybuilding, power lifting, and adventure racing. And these have been just for fun: ocean whitewater kayaking, scuba diving, skydiving, and golf. THE BOOK: “Nothing But the Truth: Secrets from Top Intelligence Experts to Control Conversations and Get the Information You Need” To get the truth from someone, you need two sets of skills. The first are the interpersonal skills necessary to get the facts. But the second group of skills is equally if not more important: they enable you to assess whether the facts actually fit together--whether they are true--and identify the emotions that shaped them. In Nothing But the Truth, top intelligence experts from the worlds of espionage, business, and law enforcement reveal how they get the information they need and give you the key tools to get the information you need, including:
Guest: Mary Pauline Lowry Mary Pauline Lowry worked for two years as a forest firefighter on the elite Pike Interagency Hotshot Crew based on the Pike National Forest in Colorado. “Hotshots are the best-trained and best-equipped wildland firefighters, sometimes referred to as the Navy SEALs of their profession” (Rolling Stone Magazine). As a Hotshot, Lowry traveled all over the American West with her crew fighting wildfires ranging in size from single tree lightening strikes to 20,000 acre blazes. Hotshot crews are “hand crews” that do not use water to fight blazes. Instead they dig a firebreak or “fireline” around the fire to deprive it of fuel. With her crew, Lowry hiked or was helicoptered in to fires and dug fireline for 15 hours or more a day. During fire season, she and her crew would work 21 days at a time fighting fire and camping out. Lowry left the Hotshot crew to attend graduate school, receiving an M.A. in English (concentration Creative Writing) from the University of Texas at Austin. Lowry has since worked in the movement to end violence against women as a counselor at a domestic violence shelter, advocate on the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and public policy analyst at the Texas Council on Family Violence. Lowry is a native of Austin, TX, currently residing in Orange County, CA. She has written essays for The New York Times Magazine, xoJane and theHuffington Post. Her novel "Wildfire," inspired by her experiences as a wildland firefighter, was published by Skyhorse Publishing on October 7. "Wildfire" has been optioned for film by Bill Mechanic and Suzanne Warren. Lowry has written the script and the project is in development. THE BOOK: “Wildfire: A Novel” Julie has an obsession with fire that began after her parents died when she was twelve years old. Her pyromania leads her to take an unlikely job as a forest firefighter on an elite, Type 1 “Hotshot” crew of forest firefighters who travel the American West battling wildfires. The only woman on the twenty person crew, Julie struggles both to prove her worth and find a place of belonging in the dangerous, insular, and very masculine world of fire (while also fighting against an eating disorder she's had since her teens). As her season “on the line” progresses so do her relationships with the strange and varied cast of characters that make up her hotshots team—and she learns what it means to put your life on the line for someone else. Wildfire is a tough, gritty, and fascinating story from an exciting new voice in American fiction. Fans of the movie Backdraft or Cheryl Strayed’s memoir Wild will enjoy this fast paced debut.
