Today I am pleased to welcome author Samuel Parker to Interviews & Reviews. Samuel is the author of Purgatory Road, named one of Library Journal’s Best Books of 2017, and Coldwater. Born in Michigan, he was raised on a never-ending road trip through the US.

His latest book, Border Son, is another high stakes thriller that takes readers to the border and back and he is going to talk about that and more today at Interviews & Reviews.

Welcome Samuel!

I am so excited to have author Valerie Fraser Luesse here with us today. Valerie is the bestselling author of Missing Isaac and an award-winning magazine writer best known for her feature stories and essays in Southern Living, where she is currently the senior travel editor. Specializing in stories about unique pockets of Southern culture, Valerie has published major pieces on the Gulf Coast, the Mississippi Delta, Louisiana’s Acadian Prairie, and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Her editorial section on Hurricane Katrina recovery in Mississippi and Louisiana won the 2009 Writer of the Year award from the Southeast Tourism Society. She lives in Birmingham, Alabama.
