Hello My Happy People,
This week on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast, I am joined by Marcia Peck, an award-winning author and lifelong musician who has spent over fifty years as a cellist with the Minnesota Orchestra. Marcia brings her love of rhythm, melody, and storytelling together in her debut novel, Water Music: A Cape Cod Story.
Her novel has been celebrated with multiple honors, including the Literary Titan Gold Award, National Indie Excellence Award, and the New England Book Festival Regional Lit Winner, among many others. With its lyrical prose and heartfelt exploration of family, place, and memory, Water Music has resonated deeply with readers and critics alike.
Beyond her novel, Marcia’s fiction and essays have appeared in numerous literary journals and publications, and she has received fellowships and residencies from prestigious arts organizations. Whether through music, words, or the timeless beauty of Cape Cod, Marcia's creative voice shines with authenticity and grace.
In our conversation, Marcia shares her journey as both a musician and a writer, the ways in which music informs her storytelling, and how Cape Cod continues to shape her creative world. Join us as we explore her award-winning work and the deep connections between music, memory, and the written word.
