Winner of the 2025 American Writing Awards Podcast of the Year in Fiction and the 2024 Positive Change Podcast Awards for Best Host and Best Book Podcast. Tune in to be introduced to new and upcoming authors in a wide variety of fiction genres – from historical to fantasy to mystery to thriller to romance – as well as inspirational memoirs.
Online for Authors is the only podcast with a host that personally reads and reviews indie-written fiction and inspirational/memoirs for avid readers who want to add books for their TBR beyond what they can find on the NYT best sellers list. As an award-winning host, Teri M Brown’s goal for Online for Authors is to introduce avid readers to characters they’d like to invite to lunch. If you read more than 40 books per year and want to veer away from the NYT Best Seller’s List or want to expand beyond your preferred genre, Online for Authors can help you discover novels written by Indie-Authors to add to your to-be-read list.
Teri M Brown is an author of character-driven fiction and lives for the moments her characters speak their stories to her. Recognizing that other authors also have interesting lives and reasons for writing, Teri uses Online for Authors as a space for these authors to shine. Avid readers listening to Online for Authors will have the opportunity to discover new authors, amazing characters, and “can’t stop reading” stories.
If you are looking for the next book on your “to be read” pile, then this is the podcast for you. Listen as authors discuss their latest work (no spoilers!), the impetus behind the storyline, how/where/why they write, what’s coming up next, and more! These conversations are in-depth because, unlike many hosts, Teri takes the time to read and review each novel before interviewing her guests. She believes that by doing so, she can guarantee a good fit for her audience as well as an interesting and inquisitive interview.
Additionally, the first Saturday of each month, Teri releases what she affectionately calls OFAU – Online for Authors University. These once-monthly episodes feature writing tips for authors in all stages of their careers and speaks directly to her desire to mentor others. Whether someone wants to know about editing, marketing, book awards, being a guest on a podcast, or how notebooking can help you overcome writer’s block, writers and aspiring writers will find useful tips to move their writing to the next level.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Anne Giordano, author of the book Love, Life, and the Ketubah. Anne Giordana is a retired principal from Prince George’s County, MD. She received a BA in Education in Connecticut and an MA from The Catholic University of American in Washington DC. She has four children, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. Anne lives with her husband, Charlie, in Sunset Beach, NC.
Anne is the author of three children’s books, available on Amazon: Spend, The Magic Rabbit; Scott, the Hero Dog; and Frosty, The Yellow Frog.
In my book review, I stated Love, Life, and the Ketubah is a a women’s fiction love story by Anne Giordano. We meet Lucy at a ski resort. She’s a beautiful, quiet Catholic girl who still lives with her parents. On that fateful day, she meets Sam, a handsome, Jewish soon-to-be doctor. They fall in love and Lucy embraces the Jewish faith and the ketubah – marriage contract – that will bind the two forever. However, she has no concerns because she knows God put them together for a reason.
Unfortunately, as with life, not everything goes as Lucy and Sam plan. When life gets tough, neither know the best way to handle their disappointments.
This is a beautiful story of love, loss, disappointment, fierce devotion, and redemption. I must say it was the saddest happy ending ever – and you’ll be glad you chose to read it!
