Podcast on Christmas Movies - December 19th!

Yesterday, December 19th, I was a guest on the podcast Forgotten Hollywood, hosted by Doug Hess.  We discussed Christmas movies and my book, Christmas in Classic Films, and renew auld acquaintance with some of our favorites.  I hope you can listen in here at this link. 

My thanks to Doug Hess for a wonderful and fun visit!

Christmas in Classic Films is a romp through a roster of old movies with scenes to conjure Christmas of days gone by.  It is available in eBook, paperback...and now, it is also out in hardcover.  Makes a nice gift, if you know an old movie buff, or just like to give presents to yourself.

...also from Amazon, here, 

...and also from Barnes & Noble, Apple, and a variety of other online shops here.

The paperback is available at Amazon, but also here at Barnes & Noble, and is also available through Ingram and can be ordered even in independent bookstores through this ISBN: 9798230191681.

The hardcover, so far, is available only at Amazon.

...and also from Barnes & Noble, Apple, and a variety of other online shops here.

My new non-fiction book, CHILDREN'S WARTIME ADVENTURE NOVELS - The Silent Generation's Vicarious Experience of World War II -- is now available in eBook here at Barnes & Noble, Apple, Kobo, and a wide variety of other online shops.

Or here from my Shopify store if you want to buy direct from me and avoid the big companies.

And it is here in eBook, paperback print, and hardcover, from Amazon.

From Cherry Ames, to Meet the Malones, from Dave Dawson to Kitty Carter - Canteen Girl, the Silent Generation spent their childhood immersed in geopolitical events through the prism of their middle grade and young adult books.  From the home front to the battlefield, these books are a window on their world, and influenced their hard-working, conformity-loving generation.

 

Podcast - Discussing THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

 

A few months ago I had the pleasure of talking about one of my favorite movies -- The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) with Paul Francis Sullivan, a.k.a "Sully" for the Movies by Minutes podcast series.  "The Best Minutes Podcast" covers the movie in several increments with different hosts and different guests, each examining a slice of that movie.

Sully and I had two episodes together and it was really one of most enjoyable experiences for me.  As classic film fans, we know how wonderful it is to meet people who not only share our passion for these movies, but who can discuss them with knowledge and insight.  Sully knows the film well, and he knows about the era in which it was produced, so our conversation was a blast from beginning to end.

Divided into two podcast episodes recently posted, here is a link to the first one (Minute 146 - Al Here?)

and the second one, (Minute 129 - I'm Quite Fond of You, Too).

I hope you enjoy listening to them half as much as I did doing the interview.
