Thrillers and Suspense
I wasn’t able to participate in this interview, so you can listen to Ed Battistella as he interviews Jim Risser on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Pulitzer Prizes.
Jim Risser was the Washington Bureau Chief for the Des Moines Register and won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 1976 for disclosing large-scale corruption in the American grain exporting trade.
Our August guest on Literary Ashland was Angela Howe-Decker, Ashland based freelance writer and poet. She teaches writing at Southern Oregon University.
She writes a column for the Ashland Daily Tidings, and articles for the Medford Mail Tribune, and Jefferson Monthly.
Her poems have appeared in African Voices, Sand Hill Review, Comstock Review, Hip Mama, The Wisconsin Review, Blue Arc West: An Anthology of California poets, Verseweavers, and others.
In case you missed it last July, here’s the radio interview Ed Battistella and I did with Ashland writer Bobby Arellano. Bobby has written five novels all published by Akashic Press. The most recent was Curse the Names. Bobby reinvents the meaning of “noir.” To get a taste, check out these shorts: “Veinte-y-dos” and “Dinner at Omar’s.”
