Oh my gosh…where to begin when it comes to Rick Bleiweiss…no introduction will suffice, but I’ll try. Rick Bleiweiss is the perfect example of the saying, “you’re never too old to follow your dreams.” Rick has an extensive background with careers in music as a rock performer, Grammy-nominated producer of over fifty records, and record company senior executive.
Then, in 2006, he pursued a career in the publishing industry working as a publishing company executive, where he has acquired works by noted authors and celebrities, including James Clavell, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Rex Pickett, Al Roker, Dale Brown, Robert Downey Jr., Leon Uris, Catherine Coulter, and P. C. Cast, among many others.
Rick Bleiweiss has written a new book, the second in his ‘Pignon Scorbion” detective series, entitled Murder in Haxford Murder in Haxford is a cozy detective mystery that takes place in 1910. Chief Inspector Pignon Scorbion and his group of townsfolk who help him solve local crimes band together when a balloonist lands with an arrow through his chest at the Haxford Spring Fair.
That, of course, is our guest today, author Rick Bleiweiss, reading from his new book, Murder in Haxford. We’ll talk about Rick’s new book, his take on music production and promotion, and much more…please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, art of living, author interview series on radio and podcast, Rick Bleiweiss.
