The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Bebop Noir (The Los Angeles Stories) by John Ireland

[https://thechrisvossshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/41KmRB0vw8L._SL1000_-194x300.jpg] Bebop Noir (The Los Angeles Stories) by John Ireland https://www.amazon.com/Bebop-Noir-Los-Angeles-Stories/dp/B0D25CHCCP [https://www.amazon.com/Bebop-Noir-Los-Angeles-Stories/dp/B0D25CHCCP] Johnirelandthewriter.com [https://www.johnirelandthewriter.com/] A schoolteacher moonlighting as a serial killer, an obese cop hiding from mirrors in his own shadow, a woman who can’t tell the truth, a man who can’t tell the difference, plus a little jazz a little sex a little Shakespeare a little murder, and an Australian lesbian who sings like Mel Torme. About the author I grew up in the movie business…watching them be made…and going to the movies all night long with my grandmother. The movies were my reality…life captured in two-hour stories…a garden of fantasies. My father was an academy award nominated actor. My mother was a more private artist. Along the way, I fell in love with words. Over the years I’ve written and produced movies for television, shot documentaries, acted in and written stage plays, and directed the indie film “Johnny Morran.” When I turned to writing literary fiction, I found myself back in the garden of dreams. My muses are the crime movies of my childhood, with a heavy dose of French and Italian films from the 60s and 70s. Caught in conflicts of conscience, lost in the purple haze and red mist of sex and violence, my characters aren’t sure they’re still alive until they run out of skin. The Los Angeles Stories is an anthology of six human comedies and dramas, all rooted in the City of Angels. The time is the present. The characters are passengers heading toward uncertain futures. The only technology that is important is the human heart. As I look at these six books, it is fascinating to watch the style and stories and language grow and change.

Now, due to the latest findings and the merging of both fields of study, a greater view of the concept of the Creator that applies to all people equally representing both disciplines is available to benefit our entire global society. The universal comprehension of the human spirit as an extension of the creative energy of the universe now arrives for us to utilize the unseen forces of life and creation to rebuild ourselves and the world for future development and prosperity. Unification through intelligent awareness is the only way we, as a civilization, can have a bright future.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – The King’s Frog Hunter by Ken Young

[https://thechrisvossshow.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/71SvKDnCpPL._SL1499_-200x300.jpg] The King’s Frog Hunter by Ken Young https://www.amazon.com/dp/0990348806 [https://www.amazon.com/dp/0990348806] Kingsfroghunter.com [https://kingsfroghunter.com/] Book 1 of 3: The King’s Frog Hunter In the ancient land of Ameram, where giant, man eating frogs lurk in the marshes of the valleys, an aging and vain king has succumbed to the evil that is grasping control of his kingdom. His selfish behavior blinds his wisdom, opening the doors of Castle Ambermal to a wicked sorcerer who uses potions and manipulations to steal the throne from the rightful heir, the king’s only child, Ekala. As the magician begins his plan to revive the power of a once-defeated order of black-hearted creatures, a sculptor of Stone Truth triggers a chain of events that reveal an ancient prophecy and its guardian, Thalmus–The King’s Frog Hunter. Along with his loyal companions, a giant tortoise, a Paint stallion, and a Great Horned owl, the mysterious hunter gathers a unique band of warriors to help the princess in her fight to save her father and the Kingdom. Together they embark on a dangerous quest that will challenge their courage, test their resolve and forge new friendships while battling to fulfill the Prophecy of Ameram. About the author I started writing The King’s Frog Hunter for my daughter when she was a child. It was never meant for publication, simply to be a story for her about dangerous adventures of a father and daughter in a mysterious ancient land with good and bad people and creatures. I wrote into the story the values that my wife and I wanted her to learn and embrace: honor, integrity, courage, friendship, loyalty, graciousness and mercy. As she grew, so did the complexity of the storyline and the depth of the characters. It turned out they had more to say than I realized. My characters, both human and animal, continued to lead me into deeper themes, including perseverance, pursuit of wisdom, sacrifice, service to others, and the responsibility to fight the ever-present insidious aspect of evil. When my daughter received a postgraduate degree, she requested, as a graduation gift, that I finish the story and publish it for her. So, I wrote more, re-wrote and edited to weave the stories into a novel. Thus, was born The King’s Frog Hunter (the original title from her childhood). It took many years to mature on the page and then be transformed into a book. The writing (and the lessons learned), was a journey in and of itself. But, to my surprise, the characters were not done and led me to write two more of The King’s Frog Hunter story, Shadows of War, Book 2 and The Burning Battle, Book 3 to complete the trilogy–and their story that began so many years ago. “Be wise and live in the Stone Truth.” Ken Young lives with his wife and family of real and imaginary characters and creatures in the forest of the Inland Northwest of the U.S.A.
