This is your place to hear the voice behind the pages of your favorite books. Here you’ll get a feel for the person who spent hours, weeks, months, and even years to fill the pages and build a world where you can not only use yourself but possibly find yourself as well. Our gift is a glance at the human side of writing; perhaps a morsel from the author’s childhood, insight on the character to which they are most attached, or a little on the passion that fueled the topics in the book. It’s your chance to get to know some of your favorite writers in a new light. We’ll give you a quick glimpse into their latest work and pique your interest in your next read, but we’ll also let you get to know a little about the authors themselves. As you’ll see in our episodes, we end up in some great conversations, whether they are about the historical significance of a topic, a laugh around chasing cows in the mud, or a few moments musing on travel and the best parts about visiting France. It is our goal to connect you with authors from varying genres and styles of writing and to keep in concert with our title by keeping them “Express” so you can easily work them into your weekly routine.

The Inspiration of Barbara Pronin in Crafting Courageous Women's Stories

Wed Nov 26 2025

Listen

Step into the world of Author Express with an episode that bridges Brooklyn nostalgia and WWII history! Barbara Pronin, a triple award-winning author, joins Kathleen Basi to share the inspirations behind her acclaimed novel, Winter's End. Hear how early NYC subway rides and childhood freedom shaped confidence—and eventually led to compelling characters and vivid storytelling.

If you’re passionate about historical fiction or love discovering the stories behind the writers, this episode is one not to miss. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Barbara Pronin has been a Southern California resident for most of her adult life. A lover of dark chocolate, Greek sunsets, and the LA Dodgers, she is the author of seven mysteries as well as the triple- award-winning WW II historical novel, Winter’s End, which has been hailed by best-selling author Faye Kellerman as, “a page-turner with honest characters who capture your heart and soul.” You can learn more about Barbara on her website, barbarapronin.com, connect with her on Instagram @writerbobbi, on Facebook at Barbara Pronin, Author or on Goodreads. Support your local bookstore & this podcast by getting your copy of Winter’s End at Bookshop.org A little about today's host-Kathleen Basi is a novelist, musical composer, and nature lover. Her debut novel, A Song for the Road, follows a musician on an unconventional road trip. Bestselling author Kerry Anne King writes, “In a novel filled with music, heartbreak, and surprising laughter, Basi takes us on a journey that encompasses both unimaginable loss and the powerful resilience of the human heart.” Meaty, earnest, occasionally humorous, and ultimately uplifting, Kathleen’s fiction highlights the best within ourselves and each other.
