Let Me Tell You A Story With Steve And Becky Lyles

For those who loved the first chapter of Angela Strong's "The Snowball Fight Professional," you'll be pleased to know this podcast includes the second chapter, titled "I'm Dreaming of a Whitewater Christmas." To read the rest of the story, order Snowball Fight online or through your local bookstore. You'll also hear excerpts from Heather Woodhaven's fun new novel titled, "The Secret Life of Book Club," and Andrea Graham's first book in her Web Surfer science-fiction series titled "Episode One: Regeneration." Both books are available online. Carla Dalke and Steve Lyles both share crazy stories from childhood. Carla writes about sibling trickery and Steve relates a swimming pool incident. And that's all we'll say about that!

Our tenth podcast (woo-hoo!) includes a fun variety of writings from new friends. Steve reads from Eugene Shea's poetry book titled "The Last Caboose," TR Fischer reads from her suspense novel, "A Man Around the House," and I read Carla Dalke's beautiful poem - actually, song lyric titled "I Will Never Leave You." Steve finishes with a couple good quotes and his thoughts about joining a men's group and making new friends there. Happy listening!

Once again, we're featuring local authors with new book releases on our podcast. We're also privileged to have another guest reader. Isaiah Silkwood reads from his fun pirate fantasy novel, "Of Pirates and Werewolves." We also read chapters from Lisa Philips's latest release in her WITSEC Town Series titled "Sanctuary Buried" and BD Riehl's second novel in her Child of Deliverance Series, "The Heavens Are Telling." If you'd like to learn what happens next in these stories, you can find the books online in various formats or order them from bookstores.

Our good friend Ray Ellis kindly agreed to read his short story titled "I" for us on this podcast. Stay alert - the setting in "I" switches from the protagonist's current location to his past memories, again and again. Thank you, Ray! You can find Ray's novels on Amazon as well as at his publishing company's website: nccpublishing.com. We also read a poem by a Texas friend, Larry Long, called "Windy Grace" plus a true story that happened to a Wyoming friend titled "Tattered Angel." Thanks for listening!

Several Idaho authors from the Treasure Valley area have kindly allowed us to read their material on this podcast. We begin with a beautiful poem by Chris White titled "Cycle Drops," followed by "Bad Girl," a short story written by Lisa Hess and found in "Passageways." The last two stories are from Adam Graham's detective novel, "Slime Incorporated," and Angela Ruth Strong's romance, "Love Finds You in Sun Valley, Idaho."

Again, we're privileged to read writings by local author friends. The podcast begins with the first chapter of Hilarey Johnson's brand-new young-adult novel titled "Heart of Petra." Next is "Free on the Inside" from a book I wrote several years ago about Freedom Fellowship, a prison ministry, followed by a couple devotionals from Lisa Buffaloe's "Living Joyfully Free" collection. The podcast concludes with two vignettes written and read by Steve.

Let Me Tell You a Story takes a bit of a turn this podcast when Steve and Becky read pieces that tell of happy times intermingled with the grief that results from great loss. Peter Leavell's short fiction about a girl and her 4-H steer will touch your heart. [PeterLeavell.com] From Becky's book titled "On a Wing & a Prayer," you'll hear the story of a young man and his struggle with meth, and you'll enjoy Steve's poems about farm animals at the end of the podcast.

Welcome to our second Let Me Tell You a Story podcast. Today's stories and quotes center around dads. Steve reads a piece he calls Remembering Dad and Becky discusses her father's love of books. They also read Pam McCleary's story about her dad titled The Yellow Cab and Valerie Gray's fictionalized tale about a father-in-law who has dementia titled John Wayne Lives. [valeriegray.com]

The subject for our third Let Me Tell You a Story podcast is springtime. It's official -- trees are budding and flowers are blooming. And our friends with pollen issues are miserable. Maybe these stories will help you forget the sneezes and itchy eyes. The first story comes from a nonfiction book Becky authored with Larry Baker titled It's a God Thing! Larry had a life-changing experience early one morning on a golf course. You'll enjoy hearing how he handled adversity. Other readings include a poem by Steve, a short story by Becky and a chapter from her first novel, Winds of Wyoming.

In their first Let Me Tell You a Story podcast, Steve and Becky Lyles read stories, poems and quotes related to that in-between time of year when spring is almost here but winter refuses to release its hold on the earth. Titles include: Wyoming Poem, My Grandmother's Quilts, Mattie Cummins, and Smile, Jesus Loves You.
