Nikki Knight and Live, Local, and Dead
Author Nikki Knight (Kathleen Marple Kalb) with her novel Live, Local, and Dead.
About the Book: LIVE, LOCAL, AND DEAD (Crooked Lane Books) follows New York City DJ Jaye Jordan’s new start at a tiny Vermont radio station, after her husband survives cancer but their marriage doesn’t. She thinks she’s got enough trouble with protests for replacing angry talk with love songs…and then the talk show host turns up dead in a snowman in front of the station. Plus, her second-chance romance with her old crush – the governor – turns out to be much more dangerous than either of them expected. Add a colorful cast of locals, the cranky station cat Neptune, and Charlemagne the Moose, who has flatulence issues…and it’s more fun than anyone should be allowed to have in maple sugaring season.
About the Beverage: Nikki recommends pairing her novel with a “Maple Martini: Grey Goose vodka, pure Vermont Maple Syrup, and a splash of Drambuie. The book is set at a Vermont radio station -- and there's a maple-candy-eating moose. No drinks for Charlemagne the Moose, of course!”
About the Author: Nikki Knight is the pen name of award-winning radio journalist Kathleen Marple Kalb, longtime weekend anchor at New York City’s 1010 WINS Radio. She’s been on the air since she was a teenage DJ in her small Western Pennsylvania hometown, working in newsrooms in Pittsburgh, Vermont, and Connecticut, never losing her love of radio, or her hatred for snow.
