00:34I want to welcome you guys so much to Dream Chasers Radio with me, your host, Yaya Diamond
00:38How are you guys doing today? It is a great day
00:41I'm so excited to be here and I have an amazing author on the show
00:45We finally got this thing right, Jeff
00:47I am telling you, we are on and we're on like Flynn
00:50Or is it in like Flynn? I think it's in like Flynn
00:54I think you're right
00:56So Jeff, thank you so much for being on the show, I appreciate it
01:00Absolutely, my pleasure
01:01So you have a book and it is, I'm going to get this right
01:06The 13th Street Haberdashery, right? Haberdashery
01:11Haberdashery
01:13Haberdashery, okay, good
01:14And, you know, before you even get into that book
01:18Why are you writing? What was it that triggered you into becoming an author?
01:23I've always enjoyed writing
01:26Even as a young person
01:27But I had several full careers
01:30Very busy
01:31Raising three kids
01:33And grandkids and so forth
01:35And it wasn't until I retired
01:37I had a very demanding career in the insurance industry
01:40And it wasn't until I retired
01:42That I really had time
01:44To start getting my stories out
01:46If you, for lack of a better way of expressing it
01:50Yeah
01:50Plus start writing
01:52I understand that
01:53Because, you know, my mom
01:55She had her career before she had me
01:58So she said that she was
02:02In the thick of it, basically
02:04And so she had a lot of help
02:05Raising me when I was little
02:07But then she came back and picked me up
02:08Because she didn't want me not to know who she was
02:11And so I didn't want to make that mistake
02:13Of having my career before my kids
02:15So I had my kids
02:17So I totally get it
02:19You know, you want to have that
02:20That moment that you're with your children
02:22That you're raising them
02:23That you're completely involved with them
02:25And your grandchildren
02:26But now it's your turn
02:27I hope so
02:30Now it's your turn
02:31So tell me about the story
02:33All right
02:35The story is kind of set in 1968
02:37It goes back to 1968
02:40What happens in 1968
02:42Is three girls disappear from this small city
02:46Somewhere in the Midwest
02:48And there was just no trace of them
02:54They just disappeared off the face of the earth
02:55They were to join their
02:57Their boyfriends had a little rock band
02:59And they were to join them
03:01In near Chicago
03:02For the end of the summer tour
03:04And then ride home together in the bus
03:07And just kind of hang out
03:08They never showed up
03:10And they looked for them
03:12For a long time
03:13There was a
03:15You know
03:16An investigation
03:18If you will
03:19And so forth
03:19They never found even a trace of them
03:21So they closed the investigation
03:24After about two or three years
03:25Under the assumption
03:27That you're too young to remember the 60s
03:30But I grew up in the 60s
03:32And there was a lot of people dropping out
03:34And heading for California
03:35To join the peace movement
03:37The hippie movement
03:39The rock scene was just developing really
03:42Into what it became
03:44And so forth
03:46And so there are a lot of people
03:48Were just heading for California
03:49And the final assumption was
03:51By law enforcement
03:53That they just decided to leave
03:55But in 50 years later
03:57The little brother of one of the girls
04:00Was hunting
04:01And he found his sister's mustang
04:04In a swamp
04:07And that starts the whole story
04:10That's where my story starts
04:12Is this a true story?
04:14No
04:14It just seems like it is
04:17It reads like a true story
04:19Somebody who read it
04:21Somebody who read it said to me
04:23This really happened
04:24I said
04:24Not that I know of
04:26It does
04:26I mean
04:27What you're telling me
04:28Does read like a lot of true stories
04:30Like you know
04:30When people go missing
04:31And a lot of times
04:32You have those divers
04:33That dive into the lake
04:34And they find the bodies
04:35They find the skeletons
04:36Or the cars
04:37Wow
04:38But they didn't find the bodies
04:40In the car
04:40Oh
04:41What?
04:42Yeah no
04:43That's where the haberdashery
04:44Comes in
04:45Oh
04:45The haberdashery
04:46A haberdashery
04:47Is a hat store
04:49Basically
04:49In
04:49Basically in England
04:51And so in the story
04:54These three guys that were in this band
04:59Were also lifelong friends
05:01They'd been friends since grade school
05:05And along the line
05:07One of them
05:07One of the boys was a reader
05:09And he read about this haberdashery
05:12You know
05:12He just liked the sound of the word
05:14And so they found this place
05:17And what it was
05:17Was a
05:18It was a crawl space
05:20Under a gymnasium
05:22And it was
05:24I don't know if you've ever been under one
05:25But there's a lot of space underneath
05:27A lot of these big buildings
05:29And this gymnasium
05:30Had a big crawl space under it
05:31And these three boys found it
05:33And they kept it a secret
05:34And they just
05:35They went down there
05:36And played themselves
05:38And so
05:39When they wanted
05:40They wanted a code name for it
05:41Like
05:42Like younger boys do
05:43So that they could talk about it
05:45And nobody would know
05:45What they were talking about
05:46So they called it
05:47The 13th Street Haberdashery
05:49Oh wow
05:50So this place
05:51This secret place of theirs
05:52Was called the Haberdashery
05:54There's where the title comes from
05:55And I don't want to get
05:57You know
05:57I don't want to give away the story
05:59No
06:00But the Haberdashery plays into
06:03The story
06:05Oh
06:06This is kind of like a mystery
06:08Magical
06:09Kind of sci-fi
06:10Well it is
06:11Some might call it sci-fi
06:13I mean
06:13There's a mystical element in it
06:15And that the ghosts
06:17Of the three girls
06:19After 50 years
06:20Come back
06:22And try to get
06:23Their murder solved
06:26So that
06:26Of course nobody knew
06:27It was a murder
06:28Until this
06:29Until this story developed
06:30Well I kind of figured
06:32Nobody knew they were murdered there
06:34They were just expecting
06:34To come home
06:35You know
06:35Wow
06:37Well
06:37Well I kind of figured
06:38They were gone
06:39But this is like a twist
06:41That's like wow
06:42That is so cool
06:43So okay
06:44Let me ask you a question
06:46Like do you like
06:47Think of these things
06:48And it just comes to you
06:51That's an interesting question
06:53Because I don't really have
06:54A writing process
06:55Like some writers do
06:57I don't do outlines
06:59I do stories
07:00And what happens
07:01When I get an idea
07:02For a story
07:02And I start writing
07:03And the story
07:05Kind of writes itself
07:06As I move along
07:08The ideas develop
07:09And I see
07:11This has to happen
07:12Or this element
07:13Is being there
07:14So I try to bring
07:15A new element in
07:16And so forth
07:20And it's
07:23And it kind of grows
07:24I don't know
07:25You know
07:25Like a tree grows
07:27Yeah
07:28When it first sprouts
07:29It's just
07:30Little green sprout
07:31Coming out of the ground
07:32Then you look at that tree
07:33A hundred years later
07:34And it's a big old
07:35With branches here and there
07:36That's kind of where
07:37My stories grow
07:39But much faster
07:40Than that fortunately
07:41Well I'm glad
07:42I'm glad it grows
07:43A lot faster than that
07:44Because then
07:44You wouldn't be here
07:45No I would
07:46Never get done
07:47Never get done
07:48Wow
07:49So you know
07:51When it comes to like
07:52Discovery
07:54And all of that
07:55And the streets
07:56And all that
07:57Are they made up
07:58Entirely
07:59Or are you very
08:00I would say
08:02Map wise
08:03You try to keep it
08:04As true to
08:05The situation
08:06That you could
08:07When it comes
08:08To the geography
08:09Yeah
08:10I'm conscious
08:12Of the geography
08:13I wouldn't say
08:15That
08:17That I'm
08:17Super strict
08:18As far as
08:19But like
08:20This story
08:21Being set
08:22In the Midwest
08:22You know
08:23You're not dealing
08:24With a lot of mountains
08:25And stuff
08:26You know
08:27I've got another story
08:28That I have written
08:29That is coming out
08:31That has the same
08:33It's in a different setting
08:35And you know
08:36I've made
08:37I've made
08:38The property description
08:40Or the geographical descriptions
08:42Fit the location
08:44Of that story
08:44So yeah
08:45I mean
08:45I'm conscious
08:46Of that
08:47But not
08:47Not bound
08:48If I need
08:49A little twist
08:50I'll throw it
08:50In there
08:50You know
08:51Is that you
08:52In the background
08:52In the sailor suit
08:54No
08:55Well
08:55It's me
08:56And my dad
08:57My father
08:58Was a World War II
09:00Veteran
09:00And my daughter
09:01And I was a Navy veteran
09:03But not World War II
09:04During
09:05After Vietnam
09:06So my daughter
09:07Took
09:08A
09:10My dad's picture
09:11And my picture
09:11And put them together
09:12On a
09:13On a
09:14And so his
09:15Me and him
09:16The whites
09:17My dad's in the whites
09:18I was in the blues
09:19So
09:19That's nice
09:20Well
09:20I want to say
09:21Thank you so much
09:22For
09:23You know
09:24I don't want to say
09:25Thank you for your service
09:26Because I
09:27I was
09:28Reviewing a book
09:29The other day
09:30And that kind of
09:31Closes the
09:32Conversation
09:33But what I want to say
09:34Is
09:34Thank you for
09:35Protecting me
09:37Well
09:37I hope

09:50And thank you
09:50Oh my gosh
09:51Okay

09:53Well
09:54I've written two
09:56And I have about
09:58Four more
09:59Milling around
10:00On my computer
10:01Oh
10:01Sweetness
10:02Yeah

10:04Wow
10:04Wow
10:05So in the future
10:07I know that you said
10:08You have one coming out
10:09But in the future
10:09Do you kind of stick
10:11With the same kind of thing
10:12Or do you kind of
10:13Jump around
10:13Is it
10:14Is it mystery
10:15Murder mystery
10:16Ghosts
10:17And then it's
10:18Something different
10:19And how do you do that
10:21I
10:24The answer to that
10:25Simple answer is no
10:26My
10:27My other book
10:28Which is entitled
10:29The
10:30The Messiah Project
10:32Is entirely
10:33Different
10:33It's about
10:34A pastor
10:34Who had been
10:36A
10:37A
10:38A
10:39Vietnam
10:39In Vietnam
10:40He was a
10:40Greenberry in Vietnam
10:41Then got out
10:43And
10:43And became a
10:44Pastor
10:45And
10:46And his
10:46Adventures
10:47In dealing
10:48With
10:48A
10:49There's a lot
10:50Of
10:50A lot of
10:51Prophecy
10:51Involved
10:52Etc
10:52So yeah
10:53I mean
10:53I know
10:54And
10:54The other stories
10:55I'm working on
10:56Are nothing like
10:56This one
10:58Wow
10:58So you're
10:59Diverse
11:00That's nice
11:01It keeps it
11:02Interesting
11:03You know
11:03I think so
11:04Well
11:04I have to write
11:05What interests me
11:07Or it doesn't ring
11:08It doesn't snap
11:09You know
11:09I hear you
11:10I hear you
11:11Wow
11:12Wow
11:12Well I want to
11:13Thank you so much
11:13What kind of advice
11:14Do you have for
11:15Authors out there
11:16That want to
11:16That aren't really
11:18Conventional
11:18Like you said
11:19You really don't have
11:19Like a structure
11:21You just kind of
11:21Go with the story
11:22And I haven't
11:23Had someone
11:24That told me
11:25Specifically that
11:26In the past
11:26What kind of
11:27Advice do you
11:28Give to people
11:29Who don't
11:29Believe that
11:30They can write
11:30Because they
11:31Don't really
11:32Have a plan
11:33I would say
11:34Start writing
11:35And find a way
11:36That works for you
11:37You know
11:38I tried
11:39I tried
11:39An outline
11:40And structured
11:41More structured
11:43It just didn't
11:43Work for me
11:44I'm too
11:46I don't know
11:47My mind goes
11:48Where it goes
11:49And I don't like
11:50It restricted
11:50With an outline
11:51You know
11:52I do the same
11:53Thing when I speak
11:54I speak
11:54I preach some
11:55I do the same
11:56Thing
11:57I'll take an outline
11:57And often
11:58I just forget
11:59It's there
11:59You know
12:01I like for
12:02I like for my mind
12:03To be free to run
12:04Yeah
12:05I hear you
12:06Yeah
12:06My mind is too
12:07Unconstrued
12:09Young girl

12:12Work for me
12:13Either
12:13Just put it
