T&M Podcast Episode 5x12 - A Meadow in Saanich (part 1) - Valerie Albemarle

When a doctor takes a ghost hunting vacation without her spouse, she hopes to find a good story to bring home. What she finds instead is a little more than life changing.

A Meadow in Saanich (part 2) by Valerie Albemarle

​Born on the wrong side of the iron curtain in Soviet Russia, Valerie Albemarle discovered a different universe in England where she spent five years of her childhood. With a diplomat and writer father, and a professor of Farsi mother, both firm believers in the immersion method of learning a foreign language, at the age of five she found herself immersed in a Church of England primary school where she began to understand and speak English, and to keep down the dreadfully unfamiliar lunches, out of sheer need to survive. Growing up with two languages and two great literary traditions has shaped her stereoscopic vision of the world and her style as a writer: Russian lyricism blended with English refusal to take her characters too seriously. 

Upon graduating from the University of Guelph in 2008 Valerie settled in Squamish, BC to work as an associate veterinarian and later as a locum. In 2010 she launched a blog, Animal Doctor in Transition, reflecting on the practice of veterinary medicine and on what we can and should learn from animals. She made her literary debut in 2011 with the short story "How to Resuscitate Roses" published in the anthology Canadian Voices volume II, and went on to write two novella-length stories which don’t fit into journals and therefore ended up on Kindle. "Michael," a magical realism story on the nature of time and deadlines, earned five stars from Reader’s Favorite. In "Killer of a Mind" the instinct for survival leads to an unusual case of revenge: a man threatens his enemy's sanity rather than his life. Her first novel "Reticence" is a meditative and lighthearted story built around the Russian immigrant experience in Canada. She is currently working on two novels in the magical realism key, both drawing on her Russian roots and one also exploring the crippling effects of war on human nature. She writes a regular column in the West Coast Veterinarian magazine on issues affecting wildlife, and is working to bring public attention to the plight of moose trapped in abandoned telegraph wire in the wilderness of BC.

The Good Old Days weren't always good, but at least he could go out for dinner at a reasonable hour, and he didn't have to deal with his wife's hangry outbursts.

​The Good Ol' Days by Bonnie Milani

​Bonnie started writing before she started school. Over the years, her articles have appeared in 'Science Digest', a variety of East Coast newspapers, and magazines ranging from 'Mankind' through regional magazines such as 'Peninsula' to 'Speculations'. On the business side, she's also written and taught in-house classes for pension administration firms on such delightful topics as (yawn) 'IRC sections 404 and 415: understanding the differences' or 'Implementing REA' an administrator's guide to managing the complexities of the Retirement Equity Act. 

She holds a Master's in Communication/Journalism from Stanford and has taught classes in every aspect of writing, from business courses in sales writing to understanding three-act structure in fiction. She is also a freelance editor for indie authors. And when she's not writing, teaching, or editing she keeps her wits sharpened as an insurance broker in the ObamaCare environment.

In this tale from the future, an American president has reached the Constitutionally mandate term limit, but why should a little thing like that keep him out of office? Tyrant has been submitted to "The Renegade" anthology and is included in Mark's "Warmache and Other Stories" paperback.

Tyrant by Mark Gardner

​Mark Gardner is an author and broadcast professional living in Prescott, Arizona. His grandfather introduced him to the alternate history writings of Harry Turtledove at a young age. That started a life-long love affair with speculative fiction. After being fired from a thankless job in retail sales, he began to write his own stories. His first publication was Body Rentals. Since then, he has written 11 books, including War of the Worlds: Retaliation, the superhero series, Sixteen Sunsets Saga, and hard sci-fi collaborative novel, Days Until Home. His books are favorites among fans of Sin City, The Martian, The Punisher, and Firefly. His work is a fast paced, no-nonsense, thrill ride into many genres, including science fiction, superhero, dystopian, and historical fiction. His works are available in nine languages, and he has fans on all seven continents.
