We're Back! June Bookcast Newsleter
Don't Call It A Comeback!Hey there Reader, After a three-month hiatus, we're back in action! I want to catch everybody up on a couple of things and then Hannah and I have some recommendations for you at the end. First - The Bookcast is back with new episodes, starting June 4! Chapter 60 features my conversation with Jeff Schmidt who wrote a fantastic book about ghost towns and other small towns across Oklahoma called Here Today. You're going to love hearing Jeff's stories and his passion. Next - We are looking for sponsors for Behind the Rain and Your Next Great Read. If you have a business of know of one that would like to support the podcast and get their name in front of hundreds of book lovers, reach out to me at okiebookcast@gmail.com for more information. BTW - Advertising is also available on the Bookcast Newsletter if you have a book or service you want to promote. Finally, I have a huge announcement for authors coming on June 4. I don't want to spoil anything, but trust me, you're going to want to watch your email and Okie Bookcast social media at 9 AM to get the news. You can also hear about it on Chapter 60, dropping that day. Enough! On to bookish things! Since Hannah and I have gone three months without sharing books on Your Next Great Read (which will be back on June 18!), here are a handful of books we wish we could have talked about. Every one of them gets a strong recommondation. Hannah's List:
J's List:
And don't forget, Father's Day is June 16. If you have a young father in your life, consider grabbing him a copy of my book, God Help Me! I'm a Young Dad: 10 Essentials for Becoming the Dad Your Kids Need. On The Okie Bookcast this month:
Be sure to subscribe or follow on your favorite podcast app to get these episodes when they drop. Go find something good to read! J P.S.
