Tonight I had two guests on my show "A Book and a Chat". Lisa and Matthew Ball are both authors in their own right, and part of a very talented family.
Mathew as well as writing poetry and some wonderful children's books "
Minnie & Melvira" and "
The Worm & The Caterpillar" is a fantastic boogie-woogie and blues pianist (he is known as "
The Boogie Woogie Kid) and has produced two books.
The Art of Boogie-Woogie and
Blues Preludes 'Music Scores'.
Lisa as well as being an editor and a dab hand with the tambourine, has also written a book called "
Booze House". Raised in a home of instability, addiction, and violence, this is the story of a young girl fighting to navigate a path to normalcy amidst the turmoil of a family held hostage to alcoholism, betrayal, autism, and pain.
On top of that, they have also created
William Joseph K Publications is an independent publishing house established in memory of "Billy-Joe" Kiel, whose life ended abruptly from conditions related to his Autism. Not only that they have brought out an anthology of stories and poems from various authors, called "
Episodes of the Norm". Fifty percent of the proceeds from this book are donated to the Autism Society of America.
But it does not end there, with a talented father, and two brothers joining in with the production of the books, there is so much to listen to and enjoy in this jam packed thirty minute show...
