It’s a privilege each week to interview writers, some are well-known authors, others finally seeing their dream to be published come true.

It is also a personal joy to be a voice on independent public radio. The Last Word KSFR airs locally in New Mexico at 101.1 FM every Thursday at 6:00 pm livestreaming at KSFR.org with the podcast up within 24 hours.

This week I interview Marianne Larned founder of The Stone Soup Leadership Institute with her inspiring new book Stone Soup for A Sustainable World: Life-Changing Stories of Young Heroes. Listen and learn !

For people who read, for people who write, for people who want to publish, or for people who are just curious…What do writers think? What do writers really do?

My friend and KSFR colleague Xubi Wilson posted this (below) on his page. I’ll also add to please consider buying books featured on The Last Word at one of our great local bookstores including, Op Cit, Collected Works, The Ark, Garcia Street Books, Bee Hive. Thank you all for supporting Santa Fe’s recovering economy.

SPEND IT LOCAL!!!!!

The more times your stimulus $$$$ bounce in our community the faster our economy will rebound!
Spend your money at a local business with a local owner who spend their money locally and pay a decent wage.
Money spent at Walmart, Amazon or any national chain goes to support some other economy after only supporting a few local jobs once!
Money spent at Filipe's Tacos which gets spent by Filipe and his employees at Jambo Cafe, which gets spent by Ahmed and his employees at Ohori's Coffee shop and Susan and her employees spend that money at the Raincatcher which gets spent by Reece and his employees at Cafe Fina, which gets pent by Murphy and his employees at your business, or maybe everyone pays the very low tuition at Santa Fe Community College to increase their value in the economy and get a raise.

The Last Word, February 11, 2021 Rosemary Zibart

Santa Fe award-winning author and playwright, Rosemary Zibart joins me to discuss her latest book, Beatrice on Her Own, the second in her Far and Away series for young people, the first being True Brit. Both books are based on real accounts of World War II and tell the story of a young girl who flees London during the blitz to find safety with a stranger, a courageous p***c health nurse hosting her in far away Santa Fe. Beatrice grows up fast in the land of enchantment and Rosemary does not shy away from the difficulties of life in the pueblos in the years before running water and antibiotics. Through Beatrice’s eyes and heart we learn truth about the Japanese Internment Camp as well as picture Santa Fe’s bustling plaza in the days of Zook’s Soda Fountain and grocery stores. kinkajoupress.com rosemaryzibart.com

“I work in almost every genre from film scripts to picture books. They are all modes of storytelling. And storytelling, I believe, is extremely important in our culture which is inundated with information but short on values and meaning.” ~ Rosemary Zibart

Hersch Wilson is a 30-year veteran volunteer firefighter and EMT with Santa Fe County’s Hondo Fire Department. Firefighter Zen: A Field Guide to Thriving in Tough Times brings the reader into the front lines with Hersch and his teams and offers succinct field notes for those of us on somewhat less dramatic sidelines. How do firefighters keep calm in the midst of chaos ? How do they process the grief and sometimes anger they feel with passion ? How do they summon grit and courage in the face of monstrous tragedy ? Be brave, be kind, fight fires.
Interviewing Hersch was enormous fun despite the subject matter, and these 23 minutes are dedicated to all the brave and dedicated firefighters in our County and in our country
