On today's Satellite Sisters, the Lab Rats Sheila and Monica Dolan go on a Chip Quest.  Monica is determined to participate in the Lays Do Us A Flavor Contest.  She convinced Sheila to get on board to test flavors Gyro, Truffle Fries, Biscuits & Gravy and New York Reuben,  but despite many store visits they could not find the new product.  Not to worry, sisters.  Monica will carry on this week even if it means ordering them from Walmart.com.  Meanwhile, Sheila tries Bikram Yoga for the first time with less-than-ideal results. She has a complete report on that as well as the baby shower she is hosting at her home next weekend.  The workback schedule is being drawn up now.  Now all she needs is a place for guests to actually sit down.  Plus, she crosses town to her new CVS.  Also with mixed results, we'd say. Liz has a celebrity-sighting report from Superba Snack Bar in Venice, CA. Gotta love, JLD.  It was fun to see her and fun to just leave her alone to enjoy her lunch. Food there is superba, by the way.  We recommend it. Then Liz and a friend tried a new place in Santa Monica last night that is part butcher shop/part restaurant. True touch of Portlandia. Very high marks for Belcampo, including the best Beet Cocktail ever.  Yes, people.  Beets and tequila.  Give it a try.  Called Beets By J.  Hahaha.  You may also be interested in trying the camp the restaurant runs at their ranch in Northern California.  Women's Meat Camp.  Yes, people.

On our continuing series the Satellite Sisters Word Write Festival, author Lian Dolan talks to two forst time mystery writers: Kris Calvin and Anne Flett-Giardano.    Kris Calvin One Murder More A former local elected official, Kris Calvin, author of debut novel One Murder More, knows politics from the inside out. She lives minutes from Sacramento, capital city of California and has been honored by the State Assembly and the California Governor’s office for her leadership in political advocacy on behalf of children.  Educated at Stanford and UC Berkeley in psychology and economics, Kris has been employed as a college-level lecturer in economics and as the CEO of a 5000-member nonprofit association in children's health.  Kris is a single parent of a daughter and two sons who make every day worthwhile, and the guardian (never owner) of  black cat Nigel  and cattle dog Lily, both strays who found their way to Kris and family and never left. You're most likely to run into Kris at regional mystery writers, readers conferences, in the halls of the Capitol of Sacramento or at a sporting venue or sports bar watching her favorite teams: the Golden State Warriors, the San Francisco Giants and the SF Forty Niners.  One Murder More is the first in Kris Calvin's new Maren Kane Mystery series.  Anne Flett-Giordano Marry, Kiss, Kill Anne Flett-Giordano is a five-time Emmy-winning television writer and producer whose credits include Frasier, Hot in Cleveland, Becker, and Desperate Housewives. In addition to the three Best Comedy and two Best Writing in a Comedy Series Emmys, Anne (with her screenwriting partner Chuck Ranberg) has won a Producer’s Guild Award and a Golden Globe and was nominated for the Writer’s Guild Best Writing in a Comedy Series award. Anne divides her time between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, California, where she shares a home with her husband, Arnie, and two book-blocking cats, Raider and Gracie. Marry, Kiss, Kill is her debut novel and the first in a series.

Satellite Sisters WordWrite Festival 2015 author interview with writer Eleni N. Gage about her latest novel ,The Ladies of Managua.    For more information about Eleni Gage and her book, click here.    When Maria Vazquez returns to Nicaragua for her beloved grandfather's funeral, she brings with her a mysterious package from her grandmother's past--and a secret of her own. And she also carries the burden of her tense relationship with her mother Ninexin, once a storied revolutionary, now a tireless government employee. Between Maria and Ninexin lies a chasm created by the death of Maria's father, who was killed during the revolution when Maria was an infant, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother Isabela as Ninexin worked to build the new Nicaragua. As Ninexin tries to reach her daughter, and Maria wrestles with her expectations for her romance with an older man, Isabela, the mourning widow, is lost in memories of attending boarding school in 1950's New Orleans, where she loved and lost almost sixty years ago. When the three women come together to bid farewell to the man who anchored their family, they are forced to confront their complicated, passionate relationships with each other and with their country--and to reveal the secrets that each of them have worked to conceal.  Lushly evocative of Nicaragua, its tumultuous history, and vibrant present, Eleni N. Gage's The Ladies of Managua brings you into the lives of three strong and magnetic women, as they uncover the ramifications of the choices they made in their pasts and begin to understand the ways in which love can shape their futures.

  The Satellite Sisters author interview series, the Word Write Festival 2015, continues with novelist Elyssa Friendland talking about her book Love and Miss Communication, a modern rom-com about digital detox For more about the book and the author, click here  Synopsis Evie Rosen has had enough. She’s tired of the partners at her law firm e-mailing her at all hours of the night. The thought of another online date makes her break out in a cold sweat. She’s over the clever hashtags and the endless selfies. So when her career hits a surprising roadblock and her heart is crushed by Facebook, Evie decides it’s time to put down her smartphone for good. (Beats stowing it in her underwear—she’s done that too!) And that’s when she discovers a fresh start for real conversations, fewer distractions, and living in the moment, even if the moments are heartbreakingly difficult. Babies are born; marriages teeter; friendships are tested. Evie just may find love and a new direction when she least expects it, but she also learns that just because you unplug your phone doesn’t mean you can unplug from life.   Host and author Lian Dolan and guest Elyssa Friedman talk about love in the time of social media what it's like to bring our a first novel and what all lawyers seem to want to be writers.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's podcast, Liz, Monica and Lian offer a Satellite Sisters Fall TV Preview, an App review and more news of the Snoopy comeback. Lian steps in for Urban Nana this weekend and hosts Julie's son, daughter-in-law and baby Josephine.  But first there's some babyproofing to be done and some Martha Stewart guest room standards to be applied.  It's all starts with the floors. Liz describes what she's up to this week - "the best week of the year on my job" means she just sits around and watches TV all week.  Yes, people actually do that for a living but not usually her.  She's happy to report that the new Rob Lowe/Fred Savage comedy The Grinder is hee-larious and kinda heartwarming.  She also got to meet Snoopy, who is hard at work on his new Peanuts movie for the end of the year.  Lian was not kidding on Tuesday's show.  The beagle's on a major comeback trail. In other media news, major Satellite Sisters congratulations to Pitch Perfect 2, for being the #1 movie of the weekend.  The actual words in the Wall Street Journal headline are PITCH PERFECT 2 TROUNCES ITS COMPETITION .  Take that, Mad Max.   And kudos to Mindy Kaling and The Mindy Project for moving to Hulu.  We'll be there for you, sister. Glad we could save your show.  That's what sisters are for.   Monica announces that Uber has finally come to Portland, Oregon.  Now she wants to know how it actually works.  Plus, she's got questions about some other new apps including Airpnp, which Lian and Liz agree sounds awful for all involved. Good health news:  even walking for two minutes during your work day is good for you, so Monica's on it. Bad health news: Are twitchy eyelids a medical thing, a stress thing or not a thing at all? Liz needs to know. Does it have anything to do with this news about stress? On the Satellite Sisters Facebook group, there are discussions about skorts - both pro and con.
