Gail chats with host Alison Nissen about winning two prizes at the Royal Palm Literary Awards, about the challenges of coming up with loglines or blurbs for her mysteries, and about writing in a variety of different forms.

The latest for the Rumble Strip Books imprint features more than three dozen interviews with dedicated travelers who share their memories of amazing, hilarious, life-changing and awe-inspiring moments during road trips in fifteen countries around the world. 

The Fearless Decision: How to live in the world without being afraid of it by David A. Stone is now available from Amazon and will be available, through online order, from all other bookstores December 2nd.
This is a collection of David's essays, articles and blog posts, dealing with subjects from anxiety relief to self-doubt to everyday courage to masculine stereotypes. This is NOT a book designed to help those with severe psychological trauma, who need medical care. It's a book for self-aware people who are tired of trying to cope with stress and misery every day and who need more than a yoga class, a weighted blanket and a cup of tea.

In the Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Literary Awards competition, Resorting to Fraud, by Gail Hulnick was selected for the Silver medal in the Mainstream or Literary category. In the Mystery category, Gail's novel, A Bird in the Sand, won Bronze. 
Congratulations!

This is the title of the book we're working on this fall. We've done interviews with thirty travelers with amazing, hilarious, educational and noteworthy stories about their road travels over the past few years. The book is planned for publication November 24, 2020. 

A Bird in the Sand, set in Savannah, Georgia and Key West, Florida, has been shortlisted for a Royal Palm Literary award in the Mystery category. Resorting to Fraud, a mainstream novel, is also a finalist. Winners will be announced in October at the annual Conference, to be held online this year.

We will be publishing an anthology of travel essays and stories, titled Rumble Strip Legendary Road Trips. If you have a story about a trip taken in 2018, 2019 or 2020, and can write it in 300 to 1,000 words, please take a look at the Anthology Call for Submissions at www.rumblestripbooks.com or send me an email with a few details at info@windwordgroup.com. 

WindWord Group Publishing & Media will produce online courses based on some of its books. The first course offered will be How Marketing Works: The Logic behind the Tactics, ​with instructor David A. Stone.

This third book in the Rumble Strip series covers France, Italy and Switzerland. "Covers" is actually not an accurate word. "Samples" would be more like it. The road trip starts in Paris and swings through Brittany, the Loire Valley, Bordeau, Provence, Nice, Antibes, Cannes and Monaco, Rapallo, Pisa, Florence, Siena and Tuscany, Geneva and the Alps. Along the way, Gail and the Zig are so impressed with many of the spots they are wondering if they should just stop, put the car up on blocks, and stay for a while. 
The book has been published in two versions. The one with black and white photographs includes the punctuation in the subtitle and the one with full-color photos regards the subtitle as more of a rhetorical question.
