In Season one of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt, the podcast was just finding its footing in the podcasting world. Book Banter began as a podcast version of the regular weekly Whatever Wednesday blog, a way to publicize Burckhardt Books and its authors. Dianne soon got bored with just talking about her own books week after week and began reaching out to her author and professional friends to come on the podcast and discuss their work and the business of writing/publishing. It was this change that caused Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt's audience to grow and become so much more diverse. 

​

We created this interview archive for season one because Book Banter had so few guest authors on the show the first year, people might have trouble finding them in the mix of all the episodes from that season. At the end of season one, we began having publicists reaching out to us to have their author clients on the podcast. Since then, the format of has changed to be an author interview podcast and less about Dianne's own works in progress. Mosts episodes now feature a new author promoting a current book or their body of work available to the public.  You can subscribe to the show at BookBanter.Buzzsprout.com or on any of the major podcast hosting sites and never miss an author interview.

​

If you love books like we do, you do not want to miss this podcast! 

Guest Interviews

Season 1 Guest Interviews (2022):

EP 6 March 9 - Sharon Stephens, Writer 

105420450_3303782269652842_5966755588719656277_n.jpeg

Sharon was born in California during WWll. The family moved to Missouri when she was 3 and lived there on a farm for three years. The family later moved to Kansas where she has lived ever since. Sharon did not finish high school, but she refused to let that hold her back. With common sense and willingness to work, she earned a management position with a Fortune 500 company. Sharon has written for the company's newsletter and their safety and quality manuals. When she needs more of a challenge (or gets bored), she writes short stories. Her favorites are very short stories with a twist ending, though she believes this bio to be the hardest thing she has ever written.

The Interviews

Dianne Burckhardt

Dianne Burckhardt, Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt podcast host (Episode 1)

Brain damage.jpg

Dianne is just your friendly little mutant, brain damaged indie author trying to make a name for herself as an indie author. Dianne earned a degree in journalism from Wichita State University and worked for newspapers, broadcasting, and magazines before an accident at her part time retail job caused a chain of events that included enduring seven surgeries in six months in 2004. Six of the surgeries were brain surgeries. To help rehabilitate her lost language skills, Dianne began writing again after years of physical recovery.

 Unsure of her ability to write well after all the brain damage,  Dianne decided to write under a pen name. After doing some market research and finding that straight historical fiction/westerns tended to sell better with male author names, Dianne took her maiden last name Stephens, dropped the last "s", and added her married last name, Burckhardt, to become Stephen Burckhardt.

Mark developed an interest in the old West when he was still in elementary school. He also started reading when he was young.  Watching Saturday morning black-and-white television westerns increased his interest in cowboy life, and he read everything from western comic books to books by Zane Grey, Louis L’Amour, Max Brand, Elmer Kelton, and many others.

DJ Jamison.jpg

DJ Jamison is the author of more than twenty m/m romances, including the Ashe Sentinel series and the Hearts and Health series. She writes a variety of queer characters, from gay to bisexual to asexual. DJ grew up in the Midwest in a working-class family, and those influences can be found in her writing through characters coping with real-life problems: money troubles, workplace drama, family conflicts and, of course, falling in love. She lives in Kansas with her husband, two sons, a snake, and a sadistic cat named Birdie.
