In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author David Weill discusses his new book, All That Really Matters. In this novel, the main character, Dr. Joe Bosco, is a rising star in the heart transplant field, and he’s feeling all the pressures that come with the job. His professional and personal issues lead him into trouble, and this novel explores how he gets himself out of such trouble and finds redemption. David Weill knows all about being a transplant surgeon, and he wrote All That Really Matters to give readers an idea of what kind of people work in the field and what it feels like to that job. While the book is a work of fiction, it incorporates a mixture of real-world personalities and situations in an effort to humanize doctors and explore the high stakes world of medical transplants. In this episode, I’ll chat with David about his writing journey, what surprised him about the way in which books become books, and the lesson he wants everyone to take away from his novel: that redemption is always available to us.

In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Doug Kari discusses his debut true crime novel, The Berman Murders: Unraveling the Mojave Desert’s Most Mysterious Unsolved Crime. In this book, Doug chronicles the 1986 disappearance of Barry Berman, heir to the Kahlua fortune, and his wife, Louise, from Saline Valley, CA, located in the Mojave Desert and one of the most remote locations in the United States. Their bodies were eventually discovered by the local sheriff’s office, but the double homicide was never solved, and no one was ever arrested, let alone convicted, for their murders. After years of research, investigation, and interviews, Doug names the most likely suspect and details how he linked the murders to an overseas sex crimes and trafficking case. In this episode, I’ll chat with Doug about his writing journey, how he heard about the Berman case on one of his own trips to Saline Valley, and why his grandmother is the reason he became so interested in the desert.
