Another Angle Leads to NPR Podcast

freestone,Julie &raabRudiBAIPA member Julie Freestone and her Stumbling Stone co-author Rudi Raab were interviewed for Journeys of Discovery with Tom Wilner for an NPR Podcast about travel.

BAIPA member and NPR correspondent, Laurie McAndish King, spoke with Rudi and Julie at their home in Richmond, California, and they discussed the couple’s new book, Stumbling Stone, which tells the slightly fictionalized story of their meeting, overcoming prejudices against each other and falling in love. The two traveled together to Germany to answer questions about what happened to Germans like Rudi and his family when the Occupation forces came—and they uncovered some surprising answers. Rudi and Julie also tell us about a shocking incident they witnessed in present-day Germany.Stumbling Stone cover

Their historical novel takes readers on a journey across two continents and could be, as they said, a travelogue as well as a mystery and romance.

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.

We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.

Do join us!
