Right on the Money

Posted in podcastTagged , , , , ,

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou

When my daughter was born nine years ago, someone quoted to me the line from Elizabeth Stone, “It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I instantly connected with that incredible truth of the powerful pull and responsibility of parenting.

It’s a motivating theme that Carl Vonderau taps into for his heart-pounding thrillers. What wouldn’t we do to keep our children safe? Vicki and I were so lucky to be able to talk to him about families, thrillers and what keeps us growing in the latest episode of our podcast, Episode 113: From Banking to Thrillers with Author Carl Vonderau.

Carl left the world of international banking to become a writer, and he masterfully weaves his banking knowledge and upbringing as a Christian Scientist into his novels.

Carl takes us on a journey as he shares his meticulous research process for the locations in his books. His dedication to capturing the essence of each place is truly fascinating.

We admire and chuckle at Carl’s language skills. He shares the wisdom that to speak a foreign language, you must be willing to embrace embarrassment.

Carl gives us an exclusive preview of Carl’s upcoming book, Past Due. Discover why one of his core themes is the necessity for families to grow and evolve.

This is a must-listen episode featuring an intriguing author, adventurer, and family man, Carl Vonderau. We know you’ll love it!

  2. I love that quote about parenting and it is so right and I know it to be true, and even now, with my children grown, and as a grandparent, it continues to be true. loved today’s interview too –

    1. I agree with you Beth, our kids and grandkids are a huge part of our lives. They’re part of the air that I breathe, and I feel blessed to have that in my life.

  6. First Wynne, I had to laugh when I saw your image of the money at the top of this post. I originally had a similar image from Pexels in my silly story about people watching. I ended up taking it out, but I had to laugh. Great minds think alike. Secondly, a great interview with Carl. “He shares the wisdom that to speak a foreign language, you must be willing to embrace embarrassment.” Need to embrace possible embarrassment to be a great writer too. Ha. ha.

    1. Oh, oh, oh — to be a great writer. Right! Maybe to be a great anything?? I’m laughing about the featured photo. I’ll claim any synchronicity to you! 🙂

  7. Christian scientist, parenting and international banking. What an interesting combination of backgrounds and motivations. It’ll be interesting to learn and hear more about how these all play out in fiction writing. Look forward to this episode. I love all the book and authors being featured this season!
