Author Martha Barnette sheds light on the meanings and origins of these different words and sayings during her first "Author Talk" interview, now available at http://www.smgserver2.com/iuniverse/phunkin080508-BarnetteMixed1.mp3. Barnette, the co-host of nationally syndicated public radio show "A Way with Words," shares her love and knowledge of words with listeners, aspiring writers, and Scrabble enthusiasts.
"The "A Way with Words" audience is intellectually curious, they are well-read, and they are interested in speaking and writing well," says Barnette. "A lot of them have a book in them and they are looking for a way to get that book out, and iUniverse can be tremendously helpful."
Barnette's A Garden of Words and Ladyfingers and Nun's Tummies: A Lighthearted Look at How Foods Got Their Names were made available again through iUniverse's Back-in-Print program. Barnette uses humor and her extensive background in Latin and Greek to produce amusing and thought-provoking books.
"I thought, I have these books; they are out of print now, but here's this program with iUniverse and maybe I should think about bringing them back into publication," Barnette said during the podcast. "And it was one of the smartest things I ever did, because they were really easy to work with."
