About the author
Scott A. Hatfield Jr. is a lifelong storyteller, political scientist, and avid hiker who blends myth, emotion, and world-shaping prophecy into his writing. Based in the Intermountain West, Scott draws inspiration from the raw landscapes of Utah, his academic studies, and the human struggles that echo through history. He earned his Master of Public Administration from Utah Valley University and has studied abroad at the University of Oxford.

After years of imagining the world of Cáelunárra, it was an injury sustained while scouting trails for his nonprofit—the Utah Trail Association—that finally pushed him to write it. That first story quickly became a multi-book saga. His debut novel, The Shadow of Cáelunárra, launches a sweeping epic of destiny, darkness, and the high cost of hope.

When he's not writing, Scott can be found deep in the mountains with his wife, young daughter, and a very opinionated chihuahua.

My name is Cyndi Brec. I love writing my heroine into dangerous webs of deception while I sip French vanilla iced coffee. I'm an avid reader turned YA fantasy romance writer with a strong background in Recreational Therapy who has penned The Therans Series. I have never thought of myself as an author, more of a storyteller. During my downtime, I started writing while caring for my husband, kids, and extended family. I'm a creative wordsmith who weaves tales that transcend the boundaries of reality—pure storytelling magic enriched by the unique lens of a dyslexic novelist.

Ahead of publication, I've snagged several endorsements from notable authors and influencers: Jonas Saul, the bestselling author of the Sarah Roberts Series; Alan Warren, NBC Radio Host/Producer/Author; and Suzy Vadori, Author and critic of the Fountain Series and three-time Aurora Awards Finalist. I have also secured a 5-star rating from Readers’ Favorite for The Therans: Secrets Beneath Scars and the second novel in the series, The Therans: Legends Never Die.

I'm just a regular gal—storyteller, speaker, and co-host of the P English Literature podcast. I joke around, saying, "I'm a sidekick podcaster interviewing authors and serving book banter." I also speak on ‘Time Management Strategies for Authors Success: Managing Your Minutes,’ aiming to inspire fellow authors to live their dreams. I champion pursuing dreams and embracing challenges, refusing to let disabilities hold me back. My faith has grown through resilience and determination.

After marrying, I traveled to Europe and many of the States. However, Ohio is my home, where my husband and I have raised two great kids and several energetic dogs. My love of history was enriched by co-owning a 200-year-old historic watermill with Rich for over 20 years, which has fostered an appreciation of historical knowledge and cultivation of The Therans Series. The Watermill is the backdrop to the Theran story world and the creation of fictional creatures.

Currently, I am working on an anthology and co-authoring a historical nonfiction book. This book will detail a historic Water Mill, its historical accounts, and the restoration process.

Stay epic, write wild, read like it's your superpower, and never stop causing chaos with your words!

Air hugs!

Adam was born during the Eisenhower administration to Leonard and Sandra Zoberblatt Nimoy. He attended the University Elementary School, a “lab school” run by UCLA, where he was subjected to numerous psychological experiments. The experimentation continued at UC Berkeley in the form of mind-altering substances from which he may, or may not, have fully recovered. In a state of absolute certainty, Adam attended Loyola Law School. He was wrong. 

After seven years of practicing entertainment law and one moment of clarity, Adam left his life as an attorney to follow his passion of making films. After directing forty-five hours of network television, some of it sublime, some of it eminently unwatchable, Adam’s career plummeted due in large part to drug and alcohol addiction. On January 1, 2004, Adam entered 12-Step recovery hoping to achieve an attitude adjustment. This was a New Year’s resolution he knew he had to keep. For 8 years, he taught writing, directing and acting at the New York Film Academy and taught filmmaking at Beit T’Shuvah, an addiction treatment center where the residents kept him on the straight and narrow.

Book: The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy

"Engaging and immensely relatable, while at the same time offering deeply profound insights into Adam Nimoy's personal relationships, particularly with his famous father." — Eugene Roddenberry Jr., CEO Roddenberry Entertainment 

Living with Dad was like living with a stranger— as a kid I often had trouble connecting and relating to him. But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek I'd see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on.

It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock's popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad's personal life, characterizing us as a "close family." But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings— even something akin to love— especially when we were celebrating my father's many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained.

My resentment towards my father kept building through the years. I wasn't blameless, I know that now, but my bitterness blinded me to any thought of my own contribution to the problem. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I coached Maddy's soccer, drove Jonah to music lessons, helped them with their homework— all the things dads are supposed to do. All the things I wanted to do. So what if my Dad and I had been estranged for years? I was living one day at a time. And then I got his letter.

Anson Joaquin joins the show from Roanoke, Virginia, a mountain town he describes with both affection and humor. While the location may have been jokingly dismissed by others, it provides the peaceful setting where Anson balances family life, a full time job, and his work as a novelist.

Anson shares how his love of storytelling began early. As a child he was introduced to fantasy and science fiction through books like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. That early exposure sparked a lifelong interest in imaginative worlds and planted the idea that one day he would write a book of his own.

The turning point came after a vivid dream about a man on fire wielding an axe while fighting demons in the real world. The imagery stayed with him so strongly that he began writing down everything he could remember the next morning. What started as notes about the dream quickly expanded into ten pages of world building and eventually became the foundation for his series.

Anson quickly learned that having a great idea is only the first step. Early in the process he discovered the difference between writers who “pants” their stories and those who outline them in advance. Although he initially believed he was someone who could simply sit down and write, he realized outlining the plot and character arcs gave him the structure he needed to make steady progress.

With a demanding schedule and four children at home, his writing routine happens early in the morning before the rest of the day begins. Each session is guided by a clear goal. Knowing what he wants to accomplish in each chapter allows him to make the most of limited writing time and continue building the story step by step.

The series blends science fiction, fantasy, and horror within a post apocalyptic setting. The story begins with a failed secret experiment that tears open a breach between worlds, unleashing terrifying creatures often described as demons. The narrative follows three central human characters and occasionally shifts perspective to one of the demons, a storytelling choice inspired by feedback from early beta readers who wanted to see more of that character.

Key takeaway:
A compelling story may begin with a spark of inspiration, but turning that idea into a finished book requires structure, persistence, openness to feedback, and a commitment to learning every part of the creative and publishing process.

The Infernal Age series is a post-apocalyptic genre blend of science-fiction, fantasy, and horror that explores the themes of humanity, metamorphosis, alienation, masculinity (both toxic and ideal), willpower, duty, friendship, love, predation, magic, science, philosophy, and pithy quips. The series gradually becomes more fantasy as it progresses, as the world adjusts to its new reality. While the series is anchored in the traditions of The Mist and Dies the Fire, among others, it is also for people whose favorite part of Cabin in the Woods was the banter between the scientists in the lab, or whose favorite scene in Kill Bill Vol 2 was Bill's soliloquy about Superman's implicit contempt for the human race.

Ben Schenkman likes many things in life: his 20-pound Maine coon cat, his family, his coffee, and his eclectic hobbies—not necessarily in that order.

Ben also likes to play devil’s advocate in his urban fantasy books by exploring the gray areas of good and evil with questions like, “Does the end really justify the means? Or is it all simply black and white?” Ben leaves these questions lingering in the ether to challenge readers’ conventional thinking and delve into the complexities of moral dilemmas.

As a native of Connecticut, Ben draws inspiration from his upbringing and college years in New Haven, where his novels take place. When he wants to escape being a writer, he’s a massive foodie who goes on gastronomic adventures, an overachiever who collects degrees in Theater, Nuclear Engineering, and an MBA, or the manager/performer of the fire dance troupe, HVBRIS—all in a day’s work, really.

Want to know more about his work, or talk about coffee and cats? He loves hearing from readers!

Greg Cagle isn’t for everyone. Some might say he’s an acquired taste. They might even say he’s one weird dude.

Over the course of his entrepreneurial career, he has started five successful businesses in industries as diverse as real estate development, engineering and tech, food services and hospitality, and advertising and marketing.

Everything he’s ever done, he’s built from ground zero. He knows what it feels like to lie awake on Tuesday night wondering how to make payroll on Friday.

As a coach and consultant, he’s come alongside the top leaders and businesses in even wider-ranging fields:

  • Army Special Operations
  • Steel and diesel engine manufacturing
  • 5-star hospitality
  • Cutting-edge technology and software
  • Non-profit educational systems and higher education
  • Financial and insurance
  • Oil and gas engineering


He has also partnered with John C. Maxwell and his company for many years as an executive coach, speaker, trainer, and business consultant.
 
You’ll discover how to:

  • Know who YOU truly are at the core,
  •  Leverage the power of YOU to increase your influence, and
  •  Enjoy the deeply-fulfilling and satisfying life you’ve always felt was possible. 


Culture can become an organization’s secret weapon or an invisible burden. The good news is that when leaders learn to shape it, they can design and deploy a culture that employees are eager to promote and protect.

Myung Sung, the peaceful art of Korean mindfulness, does the opposite. Myung Sung is active, dynamic, a connectedness woven into our everyday experience through the practice of eight simple steps.

Through stories and wisdom passed down through generations and practical tools, Myung Sung will help you:

  • Find balance and happiness

  • Walk through stress
  • Accomplish your life goals

Connect to your limitless reserves of natural energy and discover how your struggles - in work, marriage, parenting, friendships, health, money - become less difficult. By practicing the eight keys of Myung Sung, you can transform the way you live your life and uncover a greater sense of balance between mind, body, and spirit.

About our Guest -
I grew up in Exeter, Devon and lived with my parents and 2 older sisters. I didn't really have a troubled life but from a young age I discovered alcohol and my journey into addiction began.

Drugs and alcohol consumed my life from that point on. It got so bad that I thought I would either end up in prison, a psychiatric unit or dead. Either by someone else killing me or succeeding in killing myself.

I managed to find a way to recover and now live a clean sober life. You could say the complete opposite of how I lived before.

I'm hoping now that if I share my experience through writing books I can help to inspire anyone that change is possible.

The Book: Me and My Addiction tells the intense, but overall positive, account of one man’s battle to break free from a life heavily impacted by alcoholism. This thought-provoking book gives the reader a no holds barred, insight into addictions, and their power to change people’s lives, often without the victim realizing until it’s too late.

Stewart’s reflection of the problems around addiction, along with his real, raw and (brutally!) honest stories will open your mind to see life through the eyes of an addict.

If you think you, or maybe someone you know, may have an issue with alcohol it provides answers to the questions that many are afraid to ask, a deeper understanding of how addiction works, along with hope that it’s possible to break the cycle of destruction and to turn your life around.

About John Newton
Born in Simi Valley, California, John Newton attended twelve different schools until he finally got it right and was graduated from a high school on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The Cypriots soon realized it was in their national interest to ship John back to the United States. He meandered through college until the administration bribed him to leave with two apparently contradictory degrees: Theology and Electrical Engineering. He is currently working as an electrical engineer, robotics programmer, landlord, part time farmer, and father of seven. Sometimes he even writes a thing or two.

John Newton is the author of historical science fiction based on questions like:

What would you do with a stone that heals anything?

About the author
Eric Nierstedt grew up in central New Jersey, raised on a healthy diet of TV, comic books, and way, way too many books. As a child, he constantly daydreamed about his favorite stories, and re-adapting them to accommodate the early characters he was creating (and really, who didn't think that Lord of the Rings could use more characters?). In high school, Eric started the early drafts of what would become The Lightrider Journals, an epic fantasy trilogy. The first draft clocked in a record nine pages (thankfully, high school is four years).

After being accepted to Kean University, Eric continued working on Lightrider, eventually expanding the book to well over 300 pages, and crafting a much richer tale of Elemental Knights, otherworldly demons, and the superhero struggle of power and responsibility. Recently, Eric published SILENT PANTHEON, which delves into his love of mythology.

In his spare time, Eric has written for various publications, usually on events concerning music, pop culture, and as well as work for COMICSVERSE.com. His work has also been noted by the NJ Wordsmith Competition. He cites the works of Stephen King Neil Gaiman, and Terry Brooks as major influences,. Eric plans to continue mining those influences, and more, as he crafts his next book.

]]> EPISODE 679 - Eric Nierstedt - Author of the urban fantasy series, the pantheon saga

About the author
Eric Nierstedt grew up in central New Jersey, raised on a healthy diet of TV, comic books, and way, way too many books. As a child, he constantly daydreamed about his favorite stories, and re-adapting them to accommodate the early characters he was creating (and really, who didn't think that Lord of the Rings could use more characters?). In high school, Eric started the early drafts of what would become The Lightrider Journals, an epic fantasy trilogy. The first draft clocked in a record nine pages (thankfully, high school is four years).

After being accepted to Kean University, Eric continued working on Lightrider, eventually expanding the book to well over 300 pages, and crafting a much richer tale of Elemental Knights, otherworldly demons, and the superhero struggle of power and responsibility. Recently, Eric published SILENT PANTHEON, which delves into his love of mythology.

Peter Cotton is a retired physician living on Dewees Island in South Carolina, writing fun books for young children about Fred the lovable snake and his friends.

Peter grew up in England where the first tale was conceived long ago as a bedtime story for his then young children about how (not) to cross the road. When they had their kids, they asked what happened to “Fred-Fred”. Peter teamed up with a special illustrator (Canadian Bonnie Lemaire) and published the first book “When Fred the Snake got Squished and Mended”.

Together they now have a series of nine popular award-winning books, having fun in rhyme with Jungle Jim, Perdy and Jack and several animal friends. They go to school, welcome Jungle Jim, try camping, visit the beach, tour Charleston and recently have been exploring the sights of USA. Peter’s books have received numerous 5-star reviews (“move over Lewis Carroll”) and 5 Mom’s Choice gold awards. Peter enjoys presenting Fred at schools.

When not busy with Fred’s adventures, Peter travels widely to lecture, to enjoy his family, and to play golf. He reflected on life, and on his career as a Professor of Medicine/ Gastroenterology, in his memoirs “The Tunnel at the End of the Light”.

Peter says that he was not named after a rabbit. The English author Beatrix Potter wrote about Peter Rabbit, Flopsy, Mopsy, Benjamin bunny and Cottontail. Peter Cottontail is a shortened American invention.

Jennifer Celeste Briggs has a BA in English Literature from Swarthmore college. She lives in Pittsburgh, PA with her husband and two daughters. Her daughter Sarah has a genetic anomaly and autism. When Sarah was four, Jenny decided to run a Son-Rise Program for her, calling it Sarah-Rise, and training at the Autism Treatment Center of America.

The Son-Rise Program is a loving child-centered approach to helping those with autism and other challenges connect socially, verbally, and through increased eye contact. Organizing hundreds of hours of therapeutic play time for Sarah, Jenny trained and coordinated multiple volunteers who contributed their love and creativity to the venture. Jenny started a blog to share the experience of Sarah-Rise and has heard multiple times that her words were helpful to others dealing with life struggles.

Jenny wants to help parents feel understood and to spread the word about The Son-Rise Program. She hopes that her words bring comfort, joy, and inspiration to readers whatever their challenges and journeys may be.

Sarah is a feisty and determined four-year-old with autism and a unique genetic blueprint. Her mom Jenny is equally feisty and determined, which leads to clashes and strife but also leads to phenomenal connection and progress as Jenny runs a Son-Rise Program for her, calling it Sarah-Rise.

The Son-Rise Program is an approach to working with people with autism to foster social connection. It provides intensely loving, focused one-on-one therapeutic play time, meeting Sarah where she is and never stopping her repetitive behaviors. Sarah’s language explodes, her eye contact intensifies, she plays games, plays imaginatively, uses the potty, eats healthily, reads, and writes.

Playing with Sarah is deeply rewarding for the volunteers who spend time in the Sarah-Rise room. While Jenny sometimes doubts herself and criticizes her parenting, she also explores new pathways to gentleness, joy, and laughter. She celebrates Sarah’s successes, marveling at the depth of love and creativity that her volunteers bring to the scene and stretching her own creative self. Accompany Jenny from Sarah’s birth through the decision to run Sarah-Rise, and follow the years of Sarah-Rise, pretending that markers are flowers and number flashcards are snowflakes. Have your heart warmed and your socks knocked off by this momentous journey.

“Watching Sarah Rise is equally informative as it is inspirational, gracious as it is gutsy.  A beautifully written story filled with hope, integrity, and pure emotion, Briggs intimately invites her reader to experience the unique heartbreak and joy that comes with mothering a neurodivergent child.”

Writer and teacher David Niemitz joins the show from Connecticut to talk about his dual life in the classroom and on the page, and how both worlds feed each other. He shares how teaching “film as literature” to high school seniors, using stories like Star Wars, The Matrix, Moana and The Princess Bride to explore the Hero’s Journey, keeps him immersed in narrative structure, character arcs, and mythic storytelling. That daily engagement with story craft feeds directly into his own writing.

David explains the practical realities of publishing, contrasting the limited data and delayed royalty statements that come with working through traditional and small publishers with the detailed dashboards and page-read metrics available to indie authors on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing and Kindle Unlimited. He talks frankly about the trade-offs: more support and distribution versus more control and information, and how audio rights and sales data can be even more opaque when handled by audio publishers.

The conversation then dives into his path to becoming an author. A lifelong reader raised in a house full of science fiction and fantasy, David rediscovered his passion for writing when he pursued a creative writing master’s degree while teaching full time and parenting a toddler. That intense season led to his first self-published science fiction novel, set on Europa and grounded in real-world technology and hard science principles. From there, he evolved his craft, ultimately launching Guild Mage, a serial fantasy novel that became his flagship series.

Guild Mage began as serial fiction following Liv, the daughter of a castle cook, who slowly discovers her otherworldly heritage and magical powers over many years. David wanted to explore what it means to age more slowly than those you love, watching human friends grow up, marry, and die while you remain “behind.” He layers in his own experience raising an autistic son, using Liv’s slower social-emotional development and sense of being left out as an emotional core, then gradually raising the stakes as she moves from bullied child to powerful adult in a complex fantasy world.

Community is at the heart of his process. Early chapters of Guild Mage release first on Patreon, where a devoted Discord community offers feedback, catches continuity errors, and even helps shape cover art concepts that his publisher then passes to illustrator Ben Moran. David describes this as “open development” for fiction, heavily influenced by decades of tabletop roleplaying games where he learned to watch what players love, adjust pacing, and keep tension high so no one gets bored.

He also unpacks his hybrid “pantser with prep” approach to plotting using worldbuilding notes, bullet lists, and physical note cards for complex multi-POV battles, while still leaving room for discovery and reader-driven emphasis.

About the author
H.R. Cole is a Pennsylvania native who completed her first (handwritten) fantasy novel at the age of twelve. She’s remained an avid writer and has one published middle grade novel and a successful health journalism career. Cole lives with her husband, dogs, and cats in mountainous Upstate New York.

Book: Daughter of the Void: Chains of Fate Trilogy: Book One

Her power holds the promise of unraveling the fabric of the world, but using it will chain her fate to the gods.
In a world where tendrils of magic envelop all things, Raelyn discovers she’s one of the last of her kind: a warden. As a conduit of the gods capable of creating holes in the fabric of magic, she is a daughter of the void. Forced to flee as her city burns and her best friend is kidnapped, she finds herself in an unexpected partnership with Laris, a mage whose abrasive personality hides a desire to keep her safe. The pair are chased deep into the Vast, a treacherous mountain range filled with hostile feyfolk, where Raelyn grows ever closer to her companion and learns the consequences of being directly connected to the gods.

Guided by the spirit of the last Holy King and unknowingly hunted by Saraht, an enemy warden with a personal vendetta of her own, Raelyn and Laris embark on a journey to seek answers. Along the way they must confront the growing threat of war and the knowledge of Raelyn’s true purpose: a devastating power she will need to embrace to defeat Saraht, but one that will alter her fate forever.

As a television writer-producer for HGTV, Food Network, and other media outlets, she shared others’ stories on everything from outdoor adventures to home improvement. Now, in her debut book, Uncorked -- an Amazon #1 New Release in both Alcoholism Recovery and Midlife Self-Help -- Mary shares her own powerful story of alcoholism, recovery, and starting life anew at 45. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in creative writing from Dominican University of California and resides in Northern California. When not writing, she can often be found cyber-stalking her teens, planning her family’s next adventure, or searching for her elusive phone.

Book: Uncorked: A Memoir of Letting Go and Starting Over

Getting sober is one thing, staying sober another…

With a glorious bang, alcohol freed Mary Stephens from her lonely, self-critical teenage shell and fueled Fun Mary. For three decades, booze had been her best friend, the reliable spark igniting good times and (she thought) good friendships. But Fun Mary had a dark side: debilitating hangovers, blackouts, and perilous behavior. Not even a three-story fall that left her in a body cast could stop her from drinking. But finally, after putting her young son in danger and her marriage in jeopardy, Fun Mary had to go.

Now sober at age 45, everything Mary once cherished becomes a trigger—date nights with her husband, friendships centered around wine, and a father who expresses his love through alcohol. This new Sober Mary is lonely and vulnerable—feelings she drank to escape. Now what?

Told with heart and humor, Uncorked: A Memoir of Letting Go and Starting Over is the inspiring and relatable story of a woman's pursuit of a better life through sobriety.

Praise for Uncorked: A Memoir of Letting Go and Starting Over

“Her journey from the death of ‘Fun Mary’ to the birth of ‘Sober Mary’ is at turns deeply moving and amusing, and many readers will see themselves in her story. I was rooting for her the entire way.” —Kirsten Mickelwait, author of the novel, The Ashtrays Are Full and the Glasses Are Empty, and the memoir, The Ghost Marriage

The Sibylline Press edition of The Strength of Water, An Asian American Coming of Age Memoir, is scheduled for release on November 7, 2025! It is available for review on NetGalley and Booksprout. Pre-order on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and wherever books are sold.

In 1920s Detroit, King Ying stands on a box to iron clothes in her parents’ laundry business, endures taunts of Ching-Ching Chinaman on the playground, and tries to reconcile what passes for normal in Jazz-Age America with her father’s vastly different cultural values.

She dreams of a home, the elegance of her Jane Arden paper dolls, and winning her stern father’s affection. But when Ba incurs steep debts during the Great Depression, he sends her far from hope to his ancestral village.

In remote Tai Ting Pong, in the Guangdong Province of China, she feels as foreign in the land of her heritage as in the country of her birth. She must survive hunger, dangerous superstitions, and Japanese invasion as the Sino-Japanese War begins.

When guardian angels help her return to the U.S., it’s a chance to seize her American dream.

In this inspiring and heartfelt memoir, Karin K. Jensen records her mother’s transpacific quest for identity, survival, and new world dreams. The Strength of Water received a coveted starred Kirkus review and was included on Kirkus’s annual list of Top 100 Indie Books.

Book club discussion questions are included at the end of the book. Invite the author to your book club discussion!

From the Author

The Strength of Water is my mother’s memoir, as told to me, starting in the 1920s and spanning nearly a century. It offers exquisite period details of immigrant life in the U.S. and village life in China.

One woman’s epic odyssey, one family’s story of striving in a foreign country, one generation’s unique memory. An amazing memoir where the “strength of water,” the power of resilience and adapting to any circumstance, is the common thread that flows through the whole family, connecting everyone’s lives. Touching, inspiring, and brilliantly written.

Shen Yang, Author of More Than One Child

Throughout my childhood, my mother told stories of growing up in her father’s Detroit laundry business during the infancy of the automobile industry and later in a Cantonese village on the eve of the Sino-Japanese war. She also spoke of what it was like to survive as a live-in domestic worker and teen waitress in mid-century California.

The Strength of Water is a daughter’s careful excavation of her mother’s story; it is a mother’s disclosure of history, of trauma, of realities that mark not only her life but the legacy of her daughters’. This is a book written with tremendous love and authenticity. It is an important document of the Asian American experience.

Kao Kalia Yang, Award winning author of The Song Poet and The Latehomecomer

These stories felt like mythology, far removed from my experiences growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, yet vital to preserve as history. When I decided to set them down, I could hear my mother’s voice so clearly that I wrote in the first person. Thank you for taking a look.

A classic, vividly written immigrant saga - Kirkus Reviews

What is the name of your book or books and where can it/they be found or purchased? 

Financial Syndicate: Some Job Opportunities Go Too Far; Found on Amazon

What do you want readers to know about your book/s? 

The reader will see a likable character with whom he or she can identify, along with identifying on how a small-town kid gets caught up in corporate intrigue.

What does being an author mean to you?

The ability to create my own characters and story, along with sharing it with the whole world.

How did your journey as an author begin?

Over a long weekend, I had a job interview in Chicago. On the trip home, my flight had a six-hour delay due to inclement weather. With a crowded airport terminal full of unhappy people in a similar situation, I plugged in my laptop and started typing. Through long commutes and long weekends, along with some late nights, the Financial Syndicate was born.

Who or what motivated you to write?

A college lit teacher, and from the above answer, the idea existed in my mind. However, during the long wait at O’Hare, I decided to put my idea to action.

What is your mission and or vision as an author?

To entertain, including making my reader chuckle or shed a tear, I also want to highlight an awareness of an issue not in the front pages of a newspaper or top of a newscast.

Do you only write in one genre or multiple? Please explain why or why not. 

As of now, I am currently writing in mystery-suspense. However, in the future, I am looking at other genres such as historical fiction. Also, given that I am a diehard romantic, I would like to test the limits as a male romance fiction writer

Are there certain themes or topics that you cover as an author? What are they? Why these? 

In the Financial Syndicate, I am looking at the issuance of toxic securities and fees earned from them. In my second book, I am covering contract employment. Also, I would like to write a book about the current political environment, specifically a short-sighted and attention-seeking President, hating institutional norms.

What do you want readers to know about you? 

I am accessible, easy-going, and I will sit for hours talking to any reader and answering any question. I am really looking forward to bookstore tours, with readers talking to the person behind the book.

I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY, but once I left for college at 17, I never went back. With the benefit of having lived in many other places in the U.S. and abroad, I now look back fondly on my neighborhood, a place where people knew and cared about each other. But as a teenager I couldn’t wait to escape. I wanted to meet new people and explore New York City, which I was able to do at the H.S. of Music and Art, one the city’s selective high schools at that time. Being immersed in the arts was one of the defining experiences of my life.  

Writing brings me joy. It will be the cornerstone of this chapter of my life. 

“With meticulous historical research and heartfelt storytelling, Viniar introduces an unforgettable heroine - not because Fannie is extraordinary, but because she feels so real. She’s the kind of character who becomes a friend, someone you’ll root for as she navigates the trials of youth, immigration and identity as a Jewish woman. ”

— Robyn Rosen, Ph.D. Professor of history, Marist College

Book - Little Bird - “Like the heroine of her timeless novel, Barbara Viniar has meticulously embroidered this story of a talented young woman torn between the tradition she respects and the dreams she can’t deny.”
— Elyce Wakerman, author of A Tale of Two citizens and Father Loss

After an old photograph and newspaper article revealed that my grandmother, Fannie, was married to a cousin at 17 and later divorced, I felt compelled to tell her story. But with only a few dates and names to go on, I had to create the story from my imagination.

It took three years of writing and rewriting, not to mention researching the life of a Jewish immigrant in New York City from 1910 – 1917 to finish Little Bird.

I only hope that my Fannie captures what might have been true about my grandmother. I often feel that telling her story has been a way of discovering my own.       

They say writers are either compulsive plotters or “pantsers,” happy to let their stories evolve without a plan. I am somewhere in between. I had a detailed outline when I started, but then characters surprised me. Their voices changed the story. 

I am often asked if I have written fiction before. Have I always dreamed of writing a novel? Absolutely not! This passion, this commitment of time and emotional energy to writing a novel has all been new to me. I would sit down at my desk and lose track of time. It still fills me with terror and joy.

After retiring from her academic and clinical career as a psychologist, Leslie Schover has returned to her early love of writing fiction. She brings her knowledge of people, relationships, and sexuality to her novels. She grew up in Highland Park, in the suburbs of Chicago, and minored in creative writing at Brown University before receiving her PhD in clinical psychology at UCLA. Her mother did not want her to choose writing as a profession and told her that only someone as single-minded as Truman Capote, who had published a novel at age twenty-three, could be a successful author. Leslie spent most of her  psychology career at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

She was one of a few pioneers in advocating for reproductive health in people dealing with chronic illness, especially cancer. She published three self-help books in the Jurassic age: Prime Time: Sexual Health for Men over Fifty (Holt, Rinehart, & Winston, 1984); Sexuality and Fertility after Cancer (John Wiley & Sons, 1997); and Overcoming Male Infertility: Understanding its Causes and Treatments (John Wiley & Sons, 2000).

She was also coerced by colleagues, who wielded the powers of promotion and tenure, into writing thirty-five book chapters on sex and/or fertility after cancer, with the daunting task of avoiding self-plagiarization. She created all content for a digital health company, Will2Love.com, which received an Innovations Prize in the 2019 Astellas C3 competition for cancer care. Unfortunately, Will2Love, with its mission of helping people with cancer to solve sexual and fertility problems, did not survive the pandemic. Her first novel, Fission: A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak, is based in part on her parents’ stories of life during the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. It will be published by SheWrites Press in January, 2026.

]]> EPISODE 667 - Leslie R Schover - Fission - A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak, Oak Ridge and the Manhattan Project

After retiring from her academic and clinical career as a psychologist, Leslie Schover has returned to her early love of writing fiction. She brings her knowledge of people, relationships, and sexuality to her novels. She grew up in Highland Park, in the suburbs of Chicago, and minored in creative writing at Brown University before receiving her PhD in clinical psychology at UCLA. Her mother did not want her to choose writing as a profession and told her that only someone as single-minded as Truman Capote, who had published a novel at age twenty-three, could be a successful author. Leslie spent most of her  psychology career at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

She was one of a few pioneers in advocating for reproductive health in people dealing with chronic illness, especially cancer. She published three self-help books in the Jurassic age: Prime Time: Sexual Health for Men over Fifty (Holt, Rinehart, & Winston, 1984); Sexuality and Fertility after Cancer (John Wiley & Sons, 1997); and Overcoming Male Infertility: Understanding its Causes and Treatments (John Wiley & Sons, 2000).

She was also coerced by colleagues, who wielded the powers of promotion and tenure, into writing thirty-five book chapters on sex and/or fertility after cancer, with the daunting task of avoiding self-plagiarization. She created all content for a digital health company, Will2Love.com, which received an Innovations Prize in the 2019 Astellas C3 competition for cancer care. Unfortunately, Will2Love, with its mission of helping people with cancer to solve sexual and fertility problems, did not survive the pandemic. Her first novel, Fission: A Novel of Atomic Heartbreak, is based in part on her parents’ stories of life during the Manhattan Project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

About the author
Darlene Oakley is a freelance writer, editor, and transcriptionist based in Canada’s Niagara Region. She has written for the dental, healthcare, and parenting audiences and now specializes in scientific research and experimental development (SR&ED). She has over 200 articles published online to date. She has held various roles within the publishing industry for the past 25 years.

Darlene has been writing short stories and books since she first learned how to put pen to paper. This book is a culmination of a life’s pursuit and comes out of a love for words and writing, relatable characters, a little bit of sci-fi, love and suspense.

Inner Sanctum was written primarily in the NCR, particularly at Brewed Awakenings in Kemptville, Ontario -- lattes, books, and great atmosphere just seem to go hand in hand.

Inner Sanctum: Remnant - The last-known remnants of life from Upper World Earth is dying.

The underground city of Egerton’s population – saved from almost certain death on the surface 400 years ago – is shrinking.

Family Control Officer Aurora Cassle and Mayor’s Assistant Den Maron must find out why. Their investigation reveals Egerton’s long-forgotten history and long-buried secrets which generations of mayors have hidden from the public.

Den and Aurora’s research leads them to one conclusion; the only way to save their city – their people – is to return to the surface.

To do so presents great risk to everyone. No one can really predict what awaits them on the surface after four centuries – wars, disease, predators. Most are willing to take the risk, but some don’t want life in Egerton to change at all and do what they can to ensure no one leaves.

The fight to return to the surface comes at a cost no one expects.

Susan Sloate is the best-selling, award-winning multi-genre author of more than 25 books. She’s also a publisher, former podcast host and ghostwriter, and never met a good story she didn't love!

Major Works

Susan's latest novel is Scenes From a Song, the emotional saga of a 1960's band that achieves monstrous success, and a special song from their catalogue that changes the lives of its listeners. It went live as a Kindle book on Amazon in August 2025 and in its first 24 hours became the #1 New Release in TWO of its book categories, the fastest-launching book she's ever had!

Susan also co-authored (with Kevin Finn) Forward to Camelot: The Final Edition (2024), a time-travel thriller about the JFK assassination, which was re-published in 2013 as the 50th Anniversary Edition before its current 2024 edition. Recently declassified JFK assassination documents confirm that Susan and Kevin's original theory about the identity of the assassination planner--who appears as a major fictional character in the novel--was, in fact, actually true.

Stealing Fire is a passionate May-December romance set against the backdrop of Broadway musical theater. The audiobook version, narrated by actress Mapuana Makia, is also available on Audible and Amazon

Susan also co-wrote (with Ron Doades) Realizing You, a 2013 release that pioneered a genre: the self-help novel. Blending a fictional story with exercises designed to teach you more about yourself and your dreams and goals, the book received glowing reviews from both critics and readers and continues to inspire those on personal-growth journeys.

Publishing and Podcasting

For two years, pre- and post-pandemic, with her author friend Kelly Fitzgerald Fowler, Susan co-hosted Talk Jam, a podcast potpourri exploring topics from the Bible to pop culture, history and conspiracy. With nearly 100 episodes recorded, the show was an international fan favorite and further showcased Susan’s gift for lively storytelling.

She is the founder/owner of Covfefe Press, her independent publishing imprint, and also serves as editor/project manager for the Kyle & Corey middle-grade mystery series by author Joe Stephens. Susan has also been featured in a 2009 MysteryQuest special on The History Channel, exploring the mysteries of Alcatraz, based on her children’s nonfiction book Mysteries Unwrapped: The Secrets of Alcatraz. She is the author of 17 published young-adult books. She's also ghostwritten projects for a number of prominent historians and businesspeople.

Creative Work and Coaching

Susan has also written two produced stage plays, both of which she co-directed in their world-premiere runs. Two of her original screenplays have also been optioned for film development. She is currently adapting a long-forgotten novel into a musical play, writing both book and lyrics, which is a whole new adventure for her!

In 2007, Susan founded a local authors festival to promote literacy in local schools, reaching over 10,000 students in a single day. In 2014 she launched The Writers Workshop, which brought together playwrights, actors, and directors to develop new works through staged readings and collaborative feedback.

Tad Crawford is an author, attorney, and publisher.

He grew up in the artists’ colony of Woodstock, New York. Interested in writing both fiction and nonfiction, he majored in economics at Tufts College and graduated from Columbia Law School. After clerking for a judge on New York State’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, Crawford worked for a small general law firm in New York City while writing and teaching writing and literature at the School of Visual Arts.

Finding few resources to help artists deal with legal matters such as copyrights, the sale and licensing of art, gallery and publishing contracts, income taxes, moral rights, and estate planning, Crawford initiated a “Law and the Visual Artist” course at the School of Visual Arts and wrote Legal Guide for the Visual Artist. Legal Guide now has well over one hundred thousand copies in print and is in its sixth edition (co-authored with M.J. Bogatin).

Crawford followed Legal Guide with numerous other books to help professionals in the creative disciplines. The Legal Affairs editor and a regular columnist for Communication Arts magazine, he also wrote for journals such as American Artist, Art in America, Confrontation, Family Circle, Glamour, Guernica, Harper’s Bazaar, The Nation, and Writer’s Digest.

He served as general counsel for the Graphic Artists Guild, lobbied as legislative counsel for the Copyright Justice Coalition (which had many artists’ groups as members),  and volunteered as Chairman of the Board for the Foundation for the Community of Artists. In addition to testifying before the Senate subcommittee on behalf of artists’ rights, he drafted a package of state laws which he presented to the National Conference of State Legislatures. This presentation led to the enactment of laws favorable to artists in a number of states, including New York and California.

The National Endowment for the Arts selected Crawford as a grant recipient to write on the topic of artists’ rights. He also received the Graphic Artists Guild’s Walter Hortens Distinguished Service Award.

In 1989 Crawford founded Allworth Press to offer the practical information needed by creative professionals such as artists, photographers, designers, and authors. He knew firsthand the issues such creative people face each day and envisioned a spectrum of books to help them survive and grow professionally. Beyond these efforts for creative professionals, he also wrote The Secret Life of Money: Enduring Tales of Debt, Wealth, Happiness, Greed, and Charity; A Floating Life: A Novel; and On Wine-Dark Seas: A Novel of Odysseus and his Fatherless Son Telemachus.

Allworth Press, which today has hundreds of titles in print, became an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing in 2011. Crawford is a partner in Skyhorse Publishing and remains the publisher for Allworth Press.

Welcome to “Letters to Billy.” This memoir is my legacy. Journaling has always been a means for me to track my most heartfelt thoughts, deepest emotions, epiphanies, and reckonings. I am so pleased I persevered and published this memoir, which was initially intended to be something I could pass down to my son, Billy, when he becomes old enough to read and understand it.

As I delved deeper into writing about my husband Steve’s cancer journey—the knowledge we gained, the decisions we had to make, and the trials and tribulations along the way—it became apparent that my story might resonate with and provide comfort to others whose lives have taken a similar path.

This book explores many themes: finding your soul mate, the wonderful man my husband was, the fleeting yet precious time we were blessed to have as a family, and the heartbreak of a terminal diagnosis. It captures hope, doubt, fear, tenacious love, and the short but intense journey through treatment, followed by the aftermath of sorrow, longing, confusion, and heartache after loss. Suddenly, I found myself a single parent needing to raise a young baby amid crushing grief, to the moments of peace, clarity, and reflection as the grief tide slowly ebbs and joy returns once again.

I hope you find comfort, solace, and perhaps some inspiration from our story. Thank you for joining me on this path of self-discovery and healing.

Book: Letters to Billy: A story of love, loss, lessons and self-discovery

Leah and Steve Polwarth seemed destined for a lifetime of joy. They married in 2017, and by 2019, their hearts swelled with the arrival of their son, Billy. But it wasn't long before their perfect world fell apart - Steve was delivered a life shattering diagnosis.

Despite their unwavering hope and desperate fight, Leah was forced to say a heartbreaking goodbye to the love of her life, leaving her to navigate the suffocating grief of widowhood while raising their son in the midst of the global chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Letters to Billy is a raw and emotional journey through unimaginable loss, yet it is also a celebration of a mother's unbreakable love, fierce resilience and the powerful bond between a mother and her son.

In the face of devastating grief, Leah finds a way forward, discovering moments of grace and uncovering the beauty that can still bloom, even in the darkest of times.

Leokadia George started volunteering at the Wolf Conservation Center in 2016 where she was introduced to the world of wolf conservation. She also became inspired by one particular Mexican Gray Wolf nicknamed Trumpet, and is honored to be able to share her story.

At the Wolf Conservation Center, while the workers are worried about the endangered species of Mexican Gray Wolves, two wolves who live there just want a pup of their own. Sadly, there are no puppies yet, and everyone has begun to give up hope.

Based on true events surrounding the miraculous birth of one wolf pup at the Wolf Conservation Center, “Trumpet the Miracle Wolf Pup” will fill your whole family with hope, while starting a conversation with your kids about the importance of saving endangered species.

What happens when a high-powered engineer walks away from corporate life to follow a dream rooted in ancestral wisdom, music, and the magic of nature?

Follow my journey of transformation, where I’ve aligned my gifts - storytelling, songwriting, speaking, and mindful walks in nature - with the needs of the world.

Stepping back in time, I grew up one of eight children just outside Buffalo, New York. Following the dictates of family and societal programming, I jumped into the world of engineering, earning a Masters of Engineering from University at Buffalo, and a Bachelors of Industrial Engineering at General Motors Institute, now Kettering University.

After decades working as an executive for manufacturers in the auto industry and then in information systems, I returned to my early love for how words, music, nature, and beautiful places can enliven the whole landscape of a life. I began to write songs, and stories — speaking and performing them throughout the country, and soon, narrowed my focus to align with my reverence for Earth.

I’m Diana Harmon Asher, the author of Sidetracked, Upstaged, and the upcoming Trouble Finds Evie Lefkowitz.

It took me a long time to get a book published. A really long time.

There were a lot of “no’s” before I got to “yes.” But I kept writing and I kept learning. Finally, I wrote Sidetracked, and the answer was “yes!”

One of my teachers used to say that every character you create contains a piece of yourself. I definitely share a lot of worries with Joseph, and I’d like to think I’m a good friend like Heather. I’m an opera fan like Grandpa and I love Inishbofin sheep and Dickens, like Mrs. Fishbein. I hope I have some of Cassie’s goofiness in me, and like Paul, I’ll never fit in with the cool kids. I share Shira’s shyness, some of her stage experience (see photo) and a lot of her stage fright.

Like my newest character, Evie, my father was a cantor at our synagogue (something you’ll find out more about in the book), and he passed away when I was young.  But also like Evie, I was surrounded by love and good friends. I never really did get into a lot of trouble…but maybe I should have! I hope I share Evie’s resilience, her optimism, and most of all, her sense of humor.

Writing itself makes me happy. But knowing that readers are enjoying my books is even better. I love when kids identify with Heather, or when a student proudly announces that they have ADD just like Joseph. I love the thought that some of you might be encouraged to strive for your own personal record, audition for a show, try out for a team, stick up for an old friend, and be open to new ones.

And I hope all of my stories give you a few chuckles along the way.

I look forward to meeting and hearing from more of you in the months and years to come!

I’m a Brooklyn-based author and journalist focusing on speculative fiction across the categories (science-fiction, fantasy and horror) at night, while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications including Today.com, Gold Derby.com, Variety, The Los Angeles Times and Emmy Magazine.

You may have seen my name in other publications over the years, including Soap Opera Digest and The Boston Phoenix, E! Online, New Musical Express and Mojo.

A missing student, And a time-traveling detective. E651 - Mark J Wilson - Full of Beans - A dead professor. A missing student, And a time-traveling detective. EPISODE 651 - Mark J Wilson - Full of Beans - A dead professor. A missing student, And a time-traveling detective.

Mark is a scientist who works in gene therapy and very foolishly decided he had to write a novel about a time-traveling detective in his spare time.

I live in Washington, DC with my wife, Carrie, but I was born and brought up in Reading, England. My favourite place in the world is in the Cotswolds, just down the road from Oxford (where most of Full of Beans is set).

I went to college in Canterbury where I studied biochemistry and got a PhD. I have worked in biopharmaceuticals for the last 35 years or so.

I’m currently working in gene therapy, helping to develop a much-needed cure for Rett Syndrome.

I worked in Nottingham and Cambridge before moving back to Reading (so it can’t be all bad, right?). Then I came to America in 2009. It does seem like a drastic move just to get out of Reading again. I lived in North Carolina for 7 years before moving to the DC area.

Growing up in Reading gave me a fascination with trains and planes, being as how there wasn’t much else there to interest a kid. I loved hanging around at the west end of Platform 5, and when Concorde would fly over. And there was a Model Shop. I loved the Model Shop. And Eames’ model train shop.

My dad gave me lifelong passions for astronomy, physics, chess, cooking, and model-making. And I love model trains. Over the years, in my spare time, I’ve also been a watercolor artist and a music producer. I love electronic dance music.

Full of Beans is my first published novel and it is dedicated to Carrie and her coffee machine, which would constantly instruct us to “Fill Beans,” whether the hopper was full or empty. Without either of them this book might never have been written. It took over two years to write, on the weekends and holidays, and I learned a lot about writing.

I heard they are bringing back Clippy... ‘I see you’re writing a novel. Do you need help with that?’ I did need help, but instead I have relied on some actually talented hooman-beans for that.

The book was an editor’s nightmare to work on. We chose British English spellings (like ‘colour’) and phrases (such as ‘bugger off’) to go with most of the settings and characters. However, we also chose to go with the Chicago Manual of Style for other stuff like punctuation, rather than the Oxford Guide to Style. Sorry Oxford. Please check the CMOS before levelling criticism at the editing; it was a heroic effort. Thanks Kevin and Avery.

Feel free, however, to debate the choice to liberally use the Oxford comma. And to jolly-well split some infinitives. And start sentences with conjunctions.

If strict British grammar is your passion, rather than a fun read, then hard cheese. It isn’t meant to be bloody Shakespeare. I’m sure there’ll be a new Booker Prize nominee along any minute now.

The artwork was accomplished with help from artlist.io, using its Comic Noir algorithm and many, many attempts, amalgamations, and many hours of editing images to get what I wanted. The book cover was a team effort with Joe and Michelle.

About the author
Eclectic is a word that aptly defines Roger Chiocchi. Constantly questioning, How does it work?, Chiocchi graduated from Ithaca College and then the Wharton School (MBA) with distinction. He then rose through the ranks at mega-agency, Young & Rubicam, to Senior VP where he ran the advertising campaigns for Advil, TWA, AT&T, Sears (the “Softer Side of Sears” campaign), among others. He then went on to eventually become President of Y&R subsidiary, The Lord Group, where he helped transition NYNEX to Bell Atlantic then to Verizon, while bringing in new accounts like The Sports Authority, the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, and HIP Health Plans.

Chiocchi regards himself as a perpetual student, constantly scouring YouTube for lectures on astrophysics, quantum mechanics and human consciousness and whatever else suits his fancy next. But why not? His appetite for knowledge is eclectic.

How a School Shooting Turned Suburban Parents into Federal Criminals.

Book: The Brushy Ridge Militia is about how the intersection of grief and helplessness leads a group of parents to become so enraged after a mass shooting to conclude that enough’s enough, compelling them to commit a major act of civil disobedience.
After progressing through the many stages of grief, the parents of the deceased children of Brushy Ridge, Ohio High School lobby Congress to pass tighter gun control legislation. When they attempt to meet with conservative Speaker of the House, Fred Grantham, he refuses and walks right by, emotionless, as they stand outside his office, displaying pictures of their precious children.

At that point, they conclude enough’s enough.

Upon return to their hometown, the parents feel like they’ve banged their heads against a wall. Why when over half of Americans want stricter gun laws, even after the tragedies of Sandy Hook, Columbine, Marjory Stoneman Douglas and, now, Brushy Ridge, why won’t Congress budge?

Hank Patrick, an attorney and father of one of the deceased students, tells them it’s because of twenty-seven ambiguous words called the Second Amendment. While many gun advocates hide behind those words to protect their right to unfettered access to guns of all types, those words say nothing of the sort, Patrick explains. What they do say is that Americans have the right to form citizen militias to fight a government that has become tyrannical.

They decide to be true to the words of the Second Amendment as originally intended and form a citizen’s militia, The Brushy Ridge Militia, and scheme to take Speaker Fred Grantham hostage until he agrees to bring more reasonable gun legislation to the floor.

By surreptitiously following Grantham’s moves and cleverly evading the FBI, the parents intercept Grantham at an apartment building in DC and bring him to a spot in rural West Virginia where no radio transmissions are allowed. For four days, they force him to watch the security cam video of the shooting and morgue shots of their cherished children.

Finally, he agrees, but shortly after, recants.

Chester L. Richards
Aerospace Engineer (Ret.), Inventor, Adventurer, Author, Storyteller, Romantic
The philosophy developed by Chester L. Richards, aerospace engineer, adventurer and inventor (19 patents), has indeed caused him to view all that comes his way as an adventure. Even a visit to the hospital! (Look for stories about these surprisingly entertaining forays into Deep Space Medical soon in his blog, "Stories.")

That attitude took shape early. In college, a bit after those early escapes from being thoroughly roasted by The Great Potato's molten lead flinging tricks, Chester and friend Judy Burns co-authored a spec script for “Star Trek” on a lark. The story, “The Tholian Web,” became one of the series’ most popular episodes. A veteran writer advised the young man, “You should write….write your passions.” “But I have nothing to say,” Chester thought. 

That was the moment he decided the real message was to fill his life with adventures. And he did — adventures in surfing, learning and performing music, travel to exotic places for river rafting, and his work as a rocket scientist. Along the way, he’s always met fascinating characters. He did write — essays (over 50 have been published so far). At the house in Thousand Oaks he and his late beloved  Sarah once shared, he brought himself back from the brink of despair by writing the hair-raising adventures Sarah loved, and that continue to occur, though as the author says, he no longer has much hair.

About the author
Christine grew up in North Andover, MA with her parents Tony and Joyce and brothers Anthony and Eddie. She was very shy when she was young and spent a lot of time reading. Throughout her childhood Christine loved animals, especially elephants. People started to buy them for her as a collection. Her grandparents, Eddie and Ginger, as well as her parents would bring her back lucky elephants from their trips. Throughout her childhood Christine always enjoyed trips to the beach with her family and grandparents.

In 2006 Christine graduated from Merrimack College with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in Elementary Education. In 2008 she received her master’s degree in Elementary Education from Merrimack College. Christine would then go on to teach elementary school for the next 13 years. Her favorite part of the day was reading to her students. It was during reading time that she connected with her students through books. They learned, laughed and felt a range of emotions together. Christine decided that she wanted to write her own book for students to engage with, while learning and laughing. Since elephants have always been her favorite animal, she found it fitting to include them in her story. In 2017 Christine traveled to Africa with her mother and husband where she was able to see elephants living in the wild, which was always a lifelong dream. Many of the elephants were playing in the water and seemed to be having fun as they appear to in her book.

Christine and her husband John have 3 children- Joey, Nick and Adeline and a dog named Sophie with whom she loves to read with. They laugh at her stories and enjoy trips to the beach together as a family.

Book: Elephant Beach - A young girl is expecting a quiet, peaceful beach day of reading—but she’s in for some disappointment. It turns out elephants love to play, especially at the beach! At first, the girl is annoyed when the elephants break her beach chair. Then, they block her sun amidst other loud and distracting shenanigans. Soon, though, the girl becomes intrigued by the elephants’ playful nature. She still tries to read, but their games continue and can’t be ignored. Having a change of heart, the young girl joins in when the elephants play volleyball. She surfs huge waves and even helps the elephants when they are scared. The young girl came to the beach to be alone, but she now finds herself surrounded by new friends. The silliness of these gentle giants amuse her, and what was once a plan to find some peace turns into a feast of fun! Come along to Elephant Beach, where distractions are welcome and adventure arrives with each and every wave.

Most people simply know me as or simply call me Chef Franck; and that is exactly how I like it. Over time, "Chef Franck" has become more than just a name; it is a reflection of the way I show up in everything I do, with heart, passion, and a relentless commitment to grow and improve.

Behind the title is a lifetime dedicated to the craft of hospitality: My career began in the kitchens of Brittany, France, where I trained under Michelin-starred chefs who demanded nothing short of excellence. Those early years forged a deep respect for precision, discipline, and creativity. As I grew, my path took me beyond the kitchen, leading and mentoring teams, building businesses, and evolving with one constant: a love for creating meaningful connections.

From fine dining restaurants to luxury hotels and entrepreneurial ventures, every chapter has been a pursuit of one thing: creating meaningful experiences that stand the test of time. It has become so much more than food or leadership. It is about connection, transformation, influence and the pursuit of something greater than the work itself. It is the energy you bring into a room, the standard you set without saying a word, and the respect you earn by how you show up day after day.

Cheffranck.com was created as an extension of that spirit, a way to connect directly, without layers or filters. A place where craft, leadership, and authenticity meet opportunity. Whether it is building unforgettable workplace culture, strengthening teams, or guiding personal and professional growth, my mission remains the exact same: to elevate, to inspire, and to leave every place - and every person - better than I found them.

This is not just what I do. It is who I am.

I have never been one to follow a straight path; mine has been forged through pressure, uncertainty, reinvention, and an obsession with meaningful growth. What began in a small kitchen in Brittany at the age of 15 has become a lifelong pursuit of mastery, resilience, and purposeful leadership. From chasing Michelin stars in France to leading five-star operations across the Pacific and the U.S. I have learned that excellence is not found in the title, the awards, or the prestige; it is in the process. I have “failed”, started over, worked in languages I did not speak, and rebuilt my identity more than once. Along the way, I have grown from an apprentice with a dream to a chef tested by fire, an hospitality executive with a broader vision, and now, a founder, CEO and author driven by the same hunger I had on day one; but with far more perspective. Today, my work lives at the intersection of precision, purpose, and transformation; guiding teams, leaders, and organizations to rise, evolve, and deliver at the highest level. Not because it is easy, but because it is worth it.

Book: Relentless Growth - Cultivating a chef’s mindset for professional fulfillment

What if the only thing standing between you and true professional fulfillment was your mindset? Relentless Growth: Cultivating a Chef’s Mindset for Professional Fulfillment is my answer to this problem, offering a bold and practical blueprint for both emerging and seasoned hospitality professionals who want to thrive—not just survive—in one of the most demanding industries in the world.

ANTHONY DYER grew up in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, where adventure and resilience were woven into his very being. That same spirit of fearlessness carried him into a life of service, leading to an extraordinary career in Special Operations Aviation as a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator. Over the course of more than a decade, Anthony flew into some of the most dangerous and unpredictable environments on the planet, executing high-risk missions that demanded precision, courage, and an unbreakable will.

His exceptional skill and unwavering commitment to his team earned him numerous accolades, including the Air Force’s Jolly Green Rescue Mission of the Year award in 2018 for his role in a daring, life-saving operation. Throughout his career, he witnessed both the triumphs and the burdens of combat, experiencing firsthand the weight that warriors carry long after the missions end.

When he’s not writing or speaking on behalf of those who have walked a similar path, Anthony finds solace in fishing, basketball, and the simple joys of family life. Above all, he is a devoted father and husband, embracing the adventure of parenthood with the same passion and intensity that defined his military career. Now residing in New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment, Anthony continues his journey—one that is no longer defined by combat

Book - Moon Child: The Roots and Wings of a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator

Born in the rugged Appalachian town of Sylva, North Carolina, Anthony Dyer was raised in a world of untamed adventure, where resilience was a way of life. That same fearless spirit propelled him into the elite realm of Special Operations Aviation, where he spent over a decade as a USAF Combat Special Missions Aviator, flying into the world's most volatile war zones. Tasked with executing high-risk missions under relentless pressure, Anthony's career was defined by precision, courage, and sacrifice. But what happens when the mission ends?

In Moon Child, Anthony delivers a raw, unfiltered account of his life in combat-the triumphs, burdens, and unseen wounds that follow Warriors home. He shares the harrowing details of his most dangerous operations, including the 2018 Jolly Green Rescue Mission of the Year, where split-second decisions meant the difference between life and death. Yet, beyond the battlefield, Anthony faced a far deadlier enemy: the silent battles of addiction, trauma, and the search for purpose beyond war.

For those who have known war, for those who have battled addiction, and for those still finding their way-Moon Child is your story, too.

About the author

After a fifty-year career as an award-winning journalist, critic, and filmmaker, Minneapolis native Marshall Fine made the transition to writing fiction in 2024 with the Kindle best-selling novel, "The Autumn of Ruth Winters." Fine has written biographies of filmmakers John Cassavetes and Sam Peckinpah, directed documentaries about film critic Rex Reed and comedian Robert Klein, conducted the Playboy Interview with Howard Stern, and chaired the New York Film Critics Circle four times. The author currently lives in Ossining, New York. His second novel, "Hemlock Lane," will be published in November 2025.

Book: Hemlock Lane

In this riveting story of family bonds and buried truths, a young woman’s homecoming becomes a reckoning as four days together threaten to shatter the comfortable lies that have held her family together.

In the summer of 1967, the Levitsky family convenes for a long weekend at their home in the suburbs―an idyllic holiday for the perfect family.

But Nora has always known better.

Growing up, she learned to tiptoe around her mother Lillian’s explosive temper. Her father did the same. Nora’s sole confidante was their housekeeper, Clara, and their bond has only strengthened through the years. In fact, it’s all that’s keeping Nora together for her homecoming. But under that lifetime of pressure, the facade is beginning to splinter.

Over the next four days, everyone’s secrets are at risk. None more so than what Nora really wants for her life, how Clara has helped her get it…and how they’ve orchestrated it all behind Lillian’s back.

As the family grapples with the complex ties that bind them, Nora discovers that facing the truth―however painful―might be the key to finally breaking free. This weekend, Nora’s bravest act may be in knowing which bonds to cherish and which ones need to be gently set aside, making room for a future of her own choosing.

About the author
Ryan Null, an American author, is a great father to his children and a loving husband to his wife. He began his writing journey in 8th grade, inspired by his love for reading and a teacher’s challenge.

Balancing a busy life running an egg business, working multiple jobs, and raising a family, Ryan finds time to craft detailed, imaginative stories. His unique worlds and clever wordplay set him apart. Outside writing, he enjoys taking care of chickens, building projects, and engaging in men’s ministry at his church. This is his first published book, with more in the series to come.

Book - The Flare Chronicles: Into the Shadows

"When the blaze fades, only the brave survive the dark."

The story continues… After the explosive events of Into the Blaze, Daniel, Trisha, and Broctree rise from the ruins of rebellion—scarred but not broken. Seeking refuge at the sacred Godeware Lake, they hope for healing… but peace is fleeting.

Whispers of ancient evils stir in the dark. A forgotten terror—the Korkulan Skugga—returns, threatening to plunge Azrin into a new era of fear. As long-buried secrets surface and trust is tested, the trio must face an enemy born from myth itself.

A world on the brink. A destiny rekindled. Shadows that know your name.
The Flare Chronicles: Into the Shadows pulls you deeper into the fire—and far beyond.

Book: The Flare Chronicles: Into the Blaze

"A spark can ignite a legend."
Step into a kingdom ruled by shadows and secrets, where sixteen-year-old Daniel embarks on a journey to uncover the truth about his mysterious bloodline. Armed with only his bow, a satchel of essentials, and an unbreakable will, Daniel’s quest soon ignites into a blaze of rebellion, redemption, and an ancient prophecy coming to life.

Along the way, he encounters a legendary warrior, a mysterious rogue, and a world brimming with hidden magic. With the tyrannical Order watching from the shadows, Daniel must decide: cling to safety or embrace the fire of destiny.

Epic battles, loyal companions, and gods of old lurking in the shadows—The Flare Chronicles: Into the Blaze is the thrilling start of an unforgettable adventure.

EPISODE 641 - E K Wise - The Debilis Rising - Keepers of the Rock Book 1, magical realism and earthbound fantasy and M.A.S.H.

E.K. Wise’s endless curiosity about cultural history and geology developed in her youth after living abroad and traveling internationally. She is enticed by multicultural cuisine and will sample almost any food once. 

When not creating stories, she’s likely wrangling teenagers, sweating on her stationary bike, reading, or studying cool rocks and minerals. 

Wise passionately advocates for learning evaluation, as she and three of her four kiddos (and maybe the dog), have ADHD. She earned degrees in psychology and clinical social work and lives with her family in Southern California.

Book: The Debilis Rising

When you know the Earth is dying, what will you do to save it?
Tessa Horton knows there’s more to life than meets the eye and her unique ability is proof. Tú Chen feels guilty about keeping his ability secret from his parents, but does it to protect them. 

The truth about the world is finally unveiled when they are accepted into the College of Geological Evolution, an exclusive international school run by an ancient secret society: the Keepers of the Rock.

The Keepers, bestowed with supernatural abilities connected to the Earth, have a duty to protect the planet and its creatures, so humanity can reverse its accelerating course toward destruction. They alone are aware of the insidious evil that exists in the world: the Debilis—monsters who prey on mankind and willfully manipulate them for their ultimate goal—control of all Earth’s resources and humanity itself. 

As they settle in at school, Tessa and Tú are relieved to find they are not alone. However, the pair and their extraordinary classmates soon learn how challenging their destined responsibilities will be. As Keepers, they are forbidden from directly meddling in human affairs and must rely on covert guidance to save humanity. 

With the stakes incredibly high, the Keepers must prepare their young scholars to stop the resurging evil. For in truth, “the hand that cradles the rock rules the world.”

Keepers of the Rock: The Debilis Rising is Book One in an exciting and original YA fantasy series by E.K.Wise. If you like secret worlds, crystals, minerals, history, or science you will love this immersive 4-D reading experience!

Deepa Anappara’s debut novel Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line was named as one of the best books of the year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Time and NPR. It won the Edgar Award for Best Novel, was longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction 2020, and shortlisted for the JCB Prize for Indian Literature. Time included it in its list of ‘The 100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time’. It has been translated into over twenty languages.

Anappara is the co-editor of Letters to a Writer of Colour, a collection of personal essays on fiction, race, and culture, published by Random House (US) and Vintage (UK) in 2023.

Her second novel, The Last of Earth, will be published by Random House in the US, and Penguin Random House in India, in January 2026, and by Oneworld in the UK in February 2026.

She has a PhD in Creative-Critical Writing and an MA in Creative Writing (Prose Fiction) from the University of East Anglia, Norwich. She teaches creative writing and is a mentor on the South Asia Speaks mentorship programme for emerging writers in South Asia.

Anappara was born in Kerala, southern India, and worked as a journalist in India for eleven years. Her reports on the impact of poverty and religious violence on the education of children won the Developing Asia Journalism Awards, the Every Human has Rights Media Awards, and the Sanskriti-Prabha Dutt Fellowship in Journalism.

Book: THE LAST OF EARTH
From the award-winning author of Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line comes a stunning historical novel set in nineteenth-century Tibet that follows two outsiders—an Indian schoolteacher spying for the British Empire and an English “lady” explorer—as they venture into a forbidden kingdom.

1869. Tibet is closed to Europeans, an infuriating obstruction for the rap­idly expanding British Empire. In response, Britain begins training Indians—permitted to cross borders that white men may not—to undertake illicit, dangerous surveying expeditions into Tibet.

Balram is one such surveyor-spy, an Indian schoolteacher who, for several years, has worked for the British, often alongside his dearest friend, Gyan. But Gyan went missing on his last expedition and is rumored to be imprisoned within Tibet. Desperate to rescue his friend, Balram agrees to guide an English captain on a foolhardy mission: After years of paying others to do the exploring, the captain, disguised as a monk, wants to personally chart a river that runs through southern Tibet. Their path will cross fatefully with that of another Westerner in disguise, fifty-year-old Katherine. Denied a fellowship in the all-male Royal Geographical Society in London, she intends to be the first European woman to reach Lhasa.

A polyphonic novel about the various ways humans try to leave a mark on the world—from the enduring nature of family and friendship to the egomania and obsessions of the colonial enterprise—The Last of Earth confirms Deepa Anappara as one of our greatest and most ambitious storytellers.

About Jann Alexander
I'm an author, photographer, and artist.

My characters face down their fears, in novels that are as close-to-true as fiction can get.

I specialize in time travel. Read Unspoken, my best-selling novel and the first in my Dust series that stars historic Texas during the Dirty Thirties and beyond. Explore my photography featuring Vanishing Austin, Mother Earth, and Texana. Journey into the American southwest and Mexico, along the Mission Trail, as I capture the colors in my paintings and photos. ​

"Jann Alexander's blazingly alive novel Unspoken asks how do we keep a family intact? Especially during a time of upheaval and betrayal in the 1930s Dust Bowl? Here, in a story told by both a mother and her daughter, two people struggle to both understand their world and each other."

Upheaval, betrayal, estrangement, families lost and found, poverty, and homelessness, are the themes we wake up to in today's headlines. In the 1930s, the Texas Dust Bowl was no different — with one exception. Nobody knew how to fix air you couldn't breathe.

If you have ever loved a child, then you understand what it’s like to love someone more than you love life itself. If you have ever lost a child, then you understand more about hell than anyone could possibly be expected to know. This isn’t something you get over. Only those who have lost a child can understand the depths to which this pain travels. Like most of the men who will read these books, I too am a grieving dad.

The message I want bereaved fathers to understand is that I know it’s hard, I know it hurts, I know it’s scary — but you can get through this. You can survive. It will be the hardest thing you will ever experience; it will drain you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can come out on the other side of this very long and lonely tunnel, but you will be a different person when you do. There is no going back to the old you.

You also need to know that you are not alone in your grief. Other men have been through this and that the emotions they keep inside are the same emotions all of us experience, even if we don't talk about them. The best thing you can do is to reach out for help and to know it is not a sign of “weakness” to do so. Instead, it’s a sign of courage and strength — the kind that’s required to face this battle head on.

Book: He Lost His Baby Too
Survival Guide for the Grieving Dad

This book was written specifically for fathers grappling with the unbearable aftermath of losing a baby. It is all too easy for a bereaved father to succumb to a haunting sense of isolation after such a loss. However, within these pages lies a lifeline—a survival guide infused with wisdom, providing a roadmap through the complicated path of grief.

In the wake of a tragic loss—whether it be a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or the untimely passing of an infant—this invaluable resource unravels the layers of anguish that overwhelm grieving fathers. Written by a grieving dad, this book offers unflinching honesty and poignant insight, it also delves into the raw pain that accompanies such a profound loss, assuring these men that their emotions, however overwhelming, are both valid and shared by others who have walked a similar path.

Book: Grieving Dads
To the Brink and Back

A collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two-year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, “this terrible, terrible club,” which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale.

They are real stories that pull no punches and are told with brutal honesty. Men that have shared their deepest and darkest moments. Moments that included thoughts of suicide, self-medication, and homelessness. Some of these men have found their way back from the brink, while others are still standing there, stuck in their pain. The core message of Grieving Dads is “you’re not alone.” It is a message that desperately needs to be delivered to grieving dads who often grieve in silence due to society’s expectations.

]]> EPISODE 634 - Kelly Farley - He Lost His Baby Too, Survival Guide for the Grieving Dad and Grieving Dads

If you have ever loved a child, then you understand what it’s like to love someone more than you love life itself. If you have ever lost a child, then you understand more about hell than anyone could possibly be expected to know. This isn’t something you get over. Only those who have lost a child can understand the depths to which this pain travels. Like most of the men who will read these books, I too am a grieving dad.

The message I want bereaved fathers to understand is that I know it’s hard, I know it hurts, I know it’s scary — but you can get through this. You can survive. It will be the hardest thing you will ever experience; it will drain you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can come out on the other side of this very long and lonely tunnel, but you will be a different person when you do. There is no going back to the old you.

You also need to know that you are not alone in your grief. Other men have been through this and that the emotions they keep inside are the same emotions all of us experience, even if we don't talk about them. The best thing you can do is to reach out for help and to know it is not a sign of “weakness” to do so. Instead, it’s a sign of courage and strength — the kind that’s required to face this battle head on.

Book: He Lost His Baby Too
Survival Guide for the Grieving Dad

This book was written specifically for fathers grappling with the unbearable aftermath of losing a baby. It is all too easy for a bereaved father to succumb to a haunting sense of isolation after such a loss. However, within these pages lies a lifeline—a survival guide infused with wisdom, providing a roadmap through the complicated path of grief.

In the wake of a tragic loss—whether it be a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or the untimely passing of an infant—this invaluable resource unravels the layers of anguish that overwhelm grieving fathers. Written by a grieving dad, this book offers unflinching honesty and poignant insight, it also delves into the raw pain that accompanies such a profound loss, assuring these men that their emotions, however overwhelming, are both valid and shared by others who have walked a similar path.

Book: Grieving Dads
To the Brink and Back

A collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two-year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, “this terrible, terrible club,” which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale.

They are real stories that pull no punches and are told with brutal honesty. Men that have shared their deepest and darkest moments. Moments that included thoughts of suicide, self-medication, and homelessness. Some of these men have found their way back from the brink, while others are still standing there, stuck in their pain. The core message of Grieving Dads is “you’re not alone.” It is a message that desperately needs to be delivered to grieving dads who often grieve in silence due to society’s expectations.

Walking Away from the Ledge: A Soldier's Memoir

Walking Away from the Ledge is a hard-hitting, no-BS military memoir that goes beyond the battlefield to expose the raw truth of war, survival, and self-destruction. With an unapologetic voice and brutal honesty, Chris takes readers deep inside the challenging world of an Army Ranger, the brotherhood that holds soldiers together, and the personal demons that threaten to tear them apart.

More than a war story, this book is about what happens when the fight doesn’t end—the toll of combat, the grip of addiction, and the struggle to hold onto love when everything else is falling apart. This memoir hits hard, digs deep, and refuses to look away.

Shelley Grandy, Canadian author of the tech‑thriller Devious Web, joins the show to talk about her path from journalism and corporate communications into fiction, and how her real‑world experience in high‑tech and politics shaped the novel. Born in Timmins and now living in Trenton, Ontario, Shelley spent years as a reporter and then as a writer in the telecom and fibre‑optics world, eventually running her own PR firm. That background in data, networks, and media handling feeds directly into Devious Web, which follows Tom Oliver, a Toronto tech CEO whose data‑analytics company becomes the center of a dangerous conspiracy just as he’s about to sell to a Silicon Valley buyer. The story weaves together business intrigue, family tensions, politics, and a homicide investigation led by Tom’s detective friend, with Shelley using interviews and media moments in the book to naturally explain complex technology and U.S. issues like gerrymandering for general readers.

Shelley also opens up about the reality of being a debut novelist later in life: finishing the manuscript isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting gun. She describes the emotional and practical challenges of claiming the title “author,” battling imposter syndrome, and then having to learn social media, build a website, start a newsletter, and get comfortable showing up in public to market the book. For someone used to writing behind the scenes, events like speaking at the National Women’s Show in Toronto, experimenting with Instagram, and nurturing an email list are all part of what she calls “The Journey”—the ongoing process she chronicles on her blog. Her training as a journalist still shapes her fiction: she writes in tight, scene‑based chapters that she can easily imagine on screen, focuses on strong openings, and then has to consciously slow down to add colour, atmosphere, and richer description.

A big part of the conversation dives into how Devious Web blends entertainment with timely themes. Shelley talks about drawing on her long‑standing interest in U.S. politics—especially the Trump era and debates over democracy—to bring gerrymandering, data analytics, and the misuse of personal information into the plot without turning the book into a lecture. She explains gerrymandering in plain language, connects it to modern data‑driven targeting, and hints at how the wrong hands using the right software could tip the balance of power, all while keeping the focus on mystery, character, and suspense. The book also reflects her personal passions: there’s a romantic subplot, horses and equestrian life, Canadian settings she knows intimately (from Toronto restaurants and banks to Honey Harbour and Caledon stables), and vivid secondary characters like Patrick, the charming Irish “bad boy” whose Las Vegas misadventures were especially fun for her to write. Shelley even shares how she fact‑checked locations after the pandemic by revisiting them in person, turning research into a kind of mini‑adventure.

Raised in a quiet rural corner of western New York State, I didn’t always want to be a writer. I was, however, always surrounded by books. Bookcases in every room. Entire walls of them. My mother was an avid reader and regular trips to the library were part of my childhood. My stepfather was a creative writing professor and words floated through the rooms and into the nooks and crannies of that pre-Civil War era farmhouse. Books weren’t my escape so much as they were part of my daily diet.

At twenty I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish and “write a book” was on it. That list included both measurable things like “learn five foreign languages” and “complete a significant athletic achievement” and less quantifiable items like “make the world a better place.” During the Cold War of my high school and college years, I very much wanted to help reduce the possibility of conflict between the US and the USSR.

I earned a bachelor’s degree at Purdue University, and then continued my Russian studies at the Pushkin Russian Language Institute in Moscow. I studied Public and International Affairs at Princeton University, received a Master’s in 1982 and started a career in public service with the US Department of Defense. My work in the Office of the Secretary of Defense focused on European security issues between NATO, Warsaw Pact, and neutral nations.

While at the Pentagon I helped negotiate the Conference on Disarmament in Europe, the first security agreement of the Gorbachev era. At the Stockholm talks as we often called the CDE, a number of my European colleagues jokingly called me the “Iron Maiden of Stockholm” in a not altogether flattering reference to British PM Margaret Thatcher, the original tough-as-nails female negotiator. The many months I spent crafting an agreement with diplomats from thirty-five nations, sitting at a table alongside NATO colleagues and opposite Soviet and Warsaw Pact counterparts, was my great honor.

After this heady time, I put most of my energy into raising a large family (requiring its own negotiating skills). Funny enough, having a family was not on that list and yet today I would say without hesitation that the most impactful (and most difficult) thing I’ve ever done is raise four children.

I lived in several countries, including the former Soviet Union, Belgium, Sweden, Singapore, and Germany. Throughout adulthood I’ve been a committed runner. I’ve completed dozens of marathons in more than twenty countries, including the fifty-six-mile Comrades Marathon in South Africa.

I eventually landed in the wonderful and welcoming city of Portland, Oregon as a single parent. There, I coached high school cross country and track at a large public high school before deciding it wasn’t too late to dust off that forty-year-old list and write a book.

I now divide my time between Portland and Washington, DC, but also travel for fun, for research, and best of all, to visit my children and grandchildren.

]]> EPISODE 626 - Suzanne Parry - The Soviet Experience Through Historical Fiction, Pentagon Tour, Iron Maiden of Stockholm

Raised in a quiet rural corner of western New York State, I didn’t always want to be a writer. I was, however, always surrounded by books. Bookcases in every room. Entire walls of them. My mother was an avid reader and regular trips to the library were part of my childhood. My stepfather was a creative writing professor and words floated through the rooms and into the nooks and crannies of that pre-Civil War era farmhouse. Books weren’t my escape so much as they were part of my daily diet.

At twenty I made a list of things I wanted to accomplish and “write a book” was on it. That list included both measurable things like “learn five foreign languages” and “complete a significant athletic achievement” and less quantifiable items like “make the world a better place.” During the Cold War of my high school and college years, I very much wanted to help reduce the possibility of conflict between the US and the USSR.

Bonnie Moore is a semi-retired attorney, accountant, management consultant, and Golden Girls Network's founder.

A former senior consultant at a CPA firm in Washington, D.C., she developed financial processes and investigated improprieties in governmental organizations. Her self-help book "How to Start a Golden Girls Home," earned widespread media coverage in 2015.

While vacationing in the mountains east of Ogden, Utah, retired prosecutor Maggie Anderson learns about the discovery of Audrey Stillman's body buried near the home she once shared with her former husband, Ben. Maggie witnesses Ben threatened by a gang of local cowboys and the town quickly blames him.

Haunted by her past failure to save another innocent man, Maggie offers Ben help and begins investigating.

As she delves into the case, Maggie uncovers ties between Audrey's murder and the influential Stevenson family, who control much of the town's political and economic life. It's discovered Audrey was pregnant when she died, and Maggie suspects the father may be the killer. But the deeper Maggie digs, the more secrets she uncovers-secrets that certain powerful people will go to great lengths to protect.

Podcast Show Notes: Chronicles of Kinthur with Trevor Jones and April Nia Raine

In this immersive episode of The Chronicles of Kinthur, authors Trevor Jones and April Nia Raine invite listeners into their world of storytelling, creativity, and partnership. Speaking from their home base in Costa Rica, the duo behind the Knights of Aragon and Pentacle series share the origins of their fantastical universe and the creative process that binds them both as collaborators and life partners.

Trevor, who began writing stories as a child and found an imaginative outlet through Dungeons and Dragons, recounts how worldbuilding slowly evolved into full-scale novels. His lifelong interest in fantasy and science fiction shaped the foundation for what would become the world of Kinthur. April discovered one of Trevor’s forgotten manuscripts and encouraged him to bring it to life again—a partnership that sparked the creation of multiple series and a growing library of stories deeply rooted in shared passion and imagination.

Their collaboration emerged naturally. What began with April adapting game notes into novel form transformed into a rhythm of co-creation—trading ideas, refining characters, and strengthening plots at matching desks facing opposite directions. The authors openly discuss the highs and lows of writing together: moments of intense synergy that yield thousands of words in a single day, and the inevitable creative tension when one critiques the other's beloved passage. Humor, mahi-mahi dinners, and mutual respect keep their creative rhythm alive.

Trevor and April describe their fantasy works as accessible yet expansive adventures that blend classical myth with fast-paced storytelling. The Knights of Aragon trilogy follows the elven ranger Elwin and her companions as they battle orcs, uncover divine prophecies, and explore the ever-expanding world of Kinthur. Meanwhile, Trevor’s Pentacle series—anchored by a reluctant, seventy-year-old vampire—explores moral conflict, immortality, and redemption in a darker vein. Upcoming releases include Quest of a Goddess, the next volume in Knights of Aragon, as well as new titles like Jekyll and Jinx, a romantic fantasy between a warlock and an elemental.

Beyond their fiction, the couple emphasizes the importance of community and reader connection. Active on BookTok, Patreon, and Facebook, they maintain close ties with fans, offering behind-the-scenes glimpses into their writing process, early story access, and design previews. Their Patreon readers receive short stories, exclusives, and even the occasional draft that may never reach publication—a true peek into the creative forge.

Trevor and April see writing as more than output; it’s conversation. They invite readers into their world with humor, humility, and a shared love of creation. Their playful banter and discipline reflect the core of their partnership—each serving as both muse and editor to the other, pushing their shared universe to greater heights.

Deborah Lee Luskin earned a PhD in English Literature from Columbia University and expected to become an academic, not a deer hunter. She moved from New York City to Vermont for the summer in 1984, fell in love with the landscape, the community, and the new doctor in town. Forty years later, she’s still in Vermont, where she’s raised daughters, taught, and—always—wrote.

Luskin’s novel, Into the Wilderness (White River Press, 2010) a love story set against the backdrop of Vermont’s political sea-change in 1964, won the Independent Publishers Gold Medal for Regional Fiction and praise from the Vermont Library Association for its “sense of place.”

Luskin started her career in print, penning her first professional column from France while in high school. Her work has since appeared in newspapers and magazines; been broadcast on public radio; and sent into cyberspace in blogs.

Luskin spent more than thirty-five years driving all over Vermont, delivering literature-based humanities programs for the Vermont Humanities Council to parenting teens, new adult readers, educators, life-long learners, healthcare workers, and prison inmates. She has lectured widely and taught countless writing workshops. Since 2016, Luskin has been facilitating the on-going Rosefire Writing Circle, a place to write in community and with support.

Engaged in civic life, Luskin practiced restorative justice as a volunteer at the Brattleboro Community Justice Center and served as the elected Town Moderator in Newfane, Vermont.

All along, Luskin grew vegetables, kept bees, and stuck to well-marked trails through the woods. She knew how to read a text closely, slaughter chickens, and can tomatoes, but she didn’t know how to read the untracked forest that dominates the Green Mountain State. Until she was sixty, she was scared of getting lost in the woods. Then she heard a call from the universe that the deer could teach her how to read the untracked landscape. Reviving Artemis: Becoming a Huntress tells the story of how she learned to navigate through the forest of her fears and find her place in the natural world.

Finding a Place in the Natural World
Reviving Artemis is the unlikely story of a woman raised in mid-twentieth-century suburbia, then lived in New York City as a young adult, and moved to Vermont in 1984. For more than thirty years, she raised domestic livestock, kept bees, and cultivated fruits and vegetables while teaching literature and telling stories. But when she turned sixty, something shifted. Luskin was overtaken by a primal urge to step out of the garden, off the blazed trails, and into untracked forest by learning to hunt deer.

Deeply personal, lyrically told, and funny, Reviving Artemis reveals Luskin’s ambivalence about guns and her fear of entering the forest alone in the dark. She persisted, using her literary acumen to read the forest and, as thoughtfully as she hunts for words, to hunt for deer. With the stories of Artemis, goddess of the hunt, childbirth, and wild nature to inspire her, Luskin became a huntress determined to age fiercely and compelled to tell this story of finding her place in the natural world.

Jill MacLean is the Canadian author of a poetry collection, a non-fiction historical biography, three novels for young readers, two young adult novels, and The Arrows of Mercy, historical fiction for adults set in medieval England, released in 2023. The Arrows of Fealty, a stand alone sequel to The Arrows of Mercy, will release in September 2024.

Jill MacLean’s somewhat truncated biography:
Although I was born in England in Berkshire (the county where my medieval novel, The Arrows of Mercy, is set), I left there many years ago, and happily took out Canadian citizenship in 1970.

I began writing poetry in the nineties, along with completing a Masters degree in theology, and my poetry collection was published in Manitoba in 2003. My young grandson then asked me to write him a book – and changed the direction of my life. Three middle-grade novels and two Young Adult novels followed in fairly quick succession (you can check them out under Publications).

All five novels were contemporary, four were set in Newfoundland (where my family lived for seventeen years), and four overtly dealt with bullying.

Was I in danger of falling into a literary rut?

If so, what to write next?

The hiatus was frightening; but gradually there surfaced my abiding fascination with the medieval period, and even more gradually characters began to emerge, chief among them Edmund – I know from the beginning he would be an archer. I also knew I wanted to write about war and its aftereffects, as well as plague (this was well before Covid) – and that I did not want to write about aristocrats. Edmund and his cohorts are peasants, serfs, villeins, the lowest of the low.

I read widely about rural life in mid-14th century England, my son drove me around the back lanes of Berkshire in search of the exact setting, and I started to write in 2015. The novel was initially intended for a young adult audience, but morphed into fiction for adults – I wanted no constrictions.

Because I was in love with the research, and assumed you would be too, I wrote a sprawling, unmanageable mess of a novel, and then spent years (literally) cutting it back until it was the length it needed to be.

The Arrows of Mercy was launched.

Although set in 1348, the novel’s themes of plague, PTSD and scorched-earth warfare (think Syria and Ukraine) are all-too relevant to today’s world.

Johnson - Brooklyn Motto A coming-of-age,  New York-centric, detective noir debut

ALEX R. JOHNSON
Johnson’s feature film TWO STEP premiered to critical acclaim at SXSW and went on to become a New York Times Critic’s Pick, as well as remaining 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

His screenplay NORTHEAST KINGDOM was selected for the Black List. It was acquired by Paramount Pictures for Platinum Dunes to produce, with Johnson attached to direct.

His screenplay ANY ROUGH TIMES ARE NOW BEHIND YOU was selected by the Austin Film Society’s Artist Intensive lab. There, he spent three days working one-on-one with late director Jonathan Demme, an experience that was as inspiring as it was creatively life changing.

He also wrote the screenplay adaptation of Ernest Tidyman’s novel, BIG BUCKS, for Pascal Pictures.

His debut novel, BROOKLYN MOTTO, will be released in March of 2025.

Prior to writing and directing, Johnson was a seasoned NYC based commercial and documentary producer. He started his career at the legendary Maysles Films and then branched off to work with other directors, including producing the feature documentary I AM SECRETLY AN IMPORTANT MAN for filmmaker Pete Sillen.

Johnson's family hails from the Andes of Ecuador. A government brat, he moved frequently but was raised mostly between New York City and the suburbs of DC.

He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY..

BROOKLYN MOTTO by Alex R. Johnson
Fans of Richard Price, Charlie Huston, and Jonathan Lethem will love this coming-of-age New York-centric detective noir debut from esteemed filmmaker and screenwriter Alex R. Johnson.

New York City, 1998. New York is changing around Nico Kelly, and he can feel more coming.

A private investigator and self-proclaimed photographer, Nico is stuck in a loop of city contracts and self loathing. What little middle class there was is disappearing—long-standing factories are moving out and taking their reliable neighborhood jobs with them, and Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s police force has the streets in a stranglehold.

Nico spends his days looking for fraudsters while taking photos of municipal employees on disability claims. He spends his nights trying to get rid of the nagging feeling that his day job makes him a professional snitch—traversing dive bars, playing pinball, and fighting through the haze of hungover mornings and blurry evenings.

Pushing thirty years old and feeling split between his American and Latin heritage, between youth and adulthood, Nico finds himself at a precipice—who is he and what should he become?

When Nico witnesses and records a murder during one of his insurance fraud investigations, bodies start to turn up all around him and he’s forced into solving a mystery he didn’t ask to solve. Humorous, gritty, and real, Nico’s search for what it means to be human takes him through the deepest and darkest parts of New York City.

Michael was raised in Queens, caught between the disciplined life his mother offered and the legacy of his father—a man whose world revolved around loyalty, respect, and danger. From lavish weddings that erupt into brawls to road trips that end behind prison walls, Michael’s story unfolds in sharp, cinematic flashes—equal parts grit, glamour, humor, and heartbreak.

When his father is found dead in a prison cell, a final road trip to claim the body becomes more than a farewell—it’s a reckoning. Memories flood in, forcing Michael to confront the pull of the past and the choices that shaped him.

​Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by.
And that has made all the difference

Raw, fast-paced, and laced with dark humor, Route 80 is an honest journey through family, identity, and the cost of loyalty. It's a story about breaking cycles, choosing your own path and realizing that some roads, once taken, change you forever.

Buckle up. This ride doesn't come with brakes.
Book: Route 80 by Michael Conte is an action-packed ride that takes readers on a journey through the high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled world of a young man torn between two destinies—one of honor and stability, the other of power and peril.

Raised in Queens, Michael straddles two vastly different paths: his mother’s unwavering moral compass and his father’s intoxicating life, where loyalty is everything and danger lurks behind every handshake. From a picture-perfect Italian wedding that spirals into a parking lot brawl to familiar road trips to prison, the story unravels in a series of cinematic moments—glamour, violence, humor, and heartbreak.

The real turning point comes when a single phone call shatters his world. His father, imprisoned for years, is found dead in his cell. As Michael embarks on one final journey to claim his body, memories of a life spent teetering between two worlds come rushing back. Through razor-sharp storytelling, raw emotion, and true Italian flair, Route 80 explores the cost of loyalty, the weight of legacy, and the road not taken.

This is a story of survival, of choosing one's own fate, and of breaking free from the gravitational pull of the past. But in the end, can you ever truly escape where you came from?

Welcome, Traveler

To the Official Home of the World of Kinthur

I’m glad you’ve found your way here—whether by chance, curiosity, or the call of adventure. I’m Trevor Jones, fantasy author and world builder, and this is the heart of Kinthur: a realm of ancient magic, fallen kingdoms, and stories forged in fire and blood.

Inspired by the storytelling depths of tabletop role-playing games, Kinthur is a sprawling fantasy world where legends walk, magic is alive, and every soul carries a choice between light and shadow.

Author: Trevor Jones

Starting with a typewriter at 10 and inspired by the fantasy books and movies, Trevor thought writing was just a way to entertain himself. Little did he know it would lead to becoming a DM in his local Dungeons & Dragons group.

Since the 90s, Trevor has expanded his fantasy world with hundreds of hours of game time, that led to a plethora of stories and tales. When his wife got him an editor for his birthday, publishing became a real possibility and since 2019, Kinthur has been shared with the world.

I’m deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, kindness, and encouragement from every corner of the world.
You inspire me every single day.

To my readers, thank you. Without you, my words would have stayed quiet on the page. Your support gave this book a voice, and that voice is now reaching farther than I ever imagined.

If you know the TikTok story, then you see the spark. One small act of empathy. A video shared by Taylor Mae and her daughter, Ella, touched hearts around the world. That moment helped lift Purposeful Performance onto the bestseller list. I still struggle to find the words to express what that means.

This journey is not mine alone. It belongs to them. And it belongs to you.

When I wrote this book, my only goal was to make a difference in one person's life.

I never imagined what would come next. And every part of it is because of this extraordinary community.

Many of you have asked what’s next. The vision is clearer, the mission is stronger, and the work ahead matters more. I’ve signed with a world-class literary agency, and booking speaking engagements and purpose-driven projects are already underway. Big announcements are coming soon. Thank you for being part of the journey.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your support has been one of the most beautiful gifts on this journey.

Kindness matters. Humanity matters. And yes! Your voice matters. Let’s keep bringing heart back into the workforce. Together.

]]> Episode 614 - Jonathan Stanley - Restoring Humanity to the Workplace, A Viral Tik Tok Clip, and Selling 12 Books

I’m deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, support, kindness, and encouragement from every corner of the world.
You inspire me every single day.

To my readers, thank you. Without you, my words would have stayed quiet on the page. Your support gave this book a voice, and that voice is now reaching farther than I ever imagined.

If you know the TikTok story, then you see the spark. One small act of empathy. A video shared by Taylor Mae and her daughter, Ella, touched hearts around the world. That moment helped lift Purposeful Performance onto the bestseller list. I still struggle to find the words to express what that means.

This journey is not mine alone. It belongs to them. And it belongs to you.

When I wrote this book, my only goal was to make a difference in one person's life.

I never imagined what would come next. And every part of it is because of this extraordinary community.

Many of you have asked what’s next. The vision is clearer, the mission is stronger, and the work ahead matters more. I’ve signed with a world-class literary agency, and booking speaking engagements and purpose-driven projects are already underway. Big announcements are coming soon. Thank you for being part of the journey.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your support has been one of the most beautiful gifts on this journey.

Kindness matters. Humanity matters. And yes! Your voice matters. Let’s keep bringing heart back into the workforce. Together.

Chris is the author of the short story collection, Menagerie in the Dark, and the suspense horror novella, LAZARUS. He is also a member of The Authors Guild, AWP, and the Chicago Writers Association. In addition to writing and reading extensively, he enjoys hiking, playing video games, binge-watching a good show with his husband and daughter, and simply being a dad.

Book: LAZARUS
They promised a world free of disease and suffering, but at what cost?
Kami was strong, stronger than the others, but she couldn't outrun them. Taken and bled for one purpose, she holds on, following the spark and whispers of hope...

Ruth's life is no longer her own, memories becoming as intangible as smoke, her fingers never able to grasp what had been. That is, until the elixir. The clock has turned back, but a flashing specter remains...

Jarum was determined to succeed, founding Lazarus to find the key to immortality no matter the consequences. With ruthless determination, he was on the cusp of infamy until the lights. Until the dark...

In a showdown between predators and prey, their stories will become interwoven in a near-future landscape where science at its zenith can't escape its bloody origins, their desires reflecting back at them in the glow of fireflies.

Book: Menagerie in the Dark
Life often appears darkest just before the dawn of a new day.
In Menagerie in the Dark, Chris Kauzlarich immerses us in a speculative journey that explores the darker aspects of the human condition before bringing us back to the surface with the light of a new day. Through fourteen stories, this menagerie of characters faces trials of sorrow, death, loneliness, regret, deception, murder, delight, wonderment, and bliss, revealing what will either strengthen them enough to survive or plunge them to their demise. A boy’s home burns down, forcing him to confront a terrifying new world. A man enters a door where he witnesses his wife’s death, leaving him devastated; yet, he cannot stop returning to the scene, convinced he can save her. A nurse’s patients continue to perish under her care, but she harbors a dark secret—an administered cocktail for nefarious purposes.

These and other stories will stretch the limits of your emotions, from heartbreak to horror, leaving you yearning for more.

Nick Peck, a California native, is an award-winning journalist who has primarily covered the world of finance and law and has garnered significant recognition for his work in the industry.

Before starting his journalism career, Nick earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Upper Iowa University, where he was a standout football player.

The book "Only Way Out" covers Jaylen Pierre, a high school senior growing up in an impoverished area of California who deals with many traumas daily, including brutal physical abuse from his alcoholic father and emotional abandonment from his mother, who battles a paralyzing depression. 

Since both of his parents are seemingly incapable of doing the job, Jaylen takes it upon himself to be the sole caregiver for his little brother, Elijah, and himself.

Fueled by these hardships, Jaylen eagerly looks to find a way out of his situation and eventually finds one when he watches a television special late one night that ignites a fire in him to embark on a journey that he believes will lead to a better life for him and his little brother, but little does Jaylen know that he may find the love of his life along the way.

Marianne Leone grew up seven miles outside of Boston, in the village of Nonantum that everybody called “the Lake,” a small blue-collar enclave of a larger city, Newton. Lake dwellers were pretty evenly divided between Italian and Irish-Americans, with a soupcon of French-Canadians. There was no actual Lake in the Lake. The original had dried up and all that remained during my childhood was a green-slicked puddle on the site of a factory my mother and aunt worked in during World War II. 

All the Italians in the Lake had migrated from the same southern mountain village, San Donato Val di Comino. My mother and father were both Italian immigrants, but my mom was an outsider, from Sulmona, Abruzzo. My dad owned a small workingman’s bar, Leone’s Café. I went to Catholic school for twelve years. 

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a saint, a reporter and a cowboy. I didn’t become a saint, but I married a cowboy and sometimes I write for the Boston Globe. I’ve written a bunch of screenplays, and sold some of them, but I’m unproduced, except for a scene in With/In, a compilation film about the covid lockdown I shot with my husband and write about in FIVE DOG EPIPHANY. 

I was also lucky enough to play Joanne Moltisanti, Christopher’s mother, on HBO’s The Sopranos for four seasons. I live in a small town on the south shore of Massachusetts with my husband, Chris Cooper, and two rescue dogs, Titi and Sugar. KNOWING JESSE is about my son, whose luminous presence expanded and transformed everything else in my universe. I wrote the book to celebrate his life, to deal with his death, and to share him with others. MA SPEAKS UP is about my mother, who came to America to escape fascism and an arranged marriage to an old man. FIVE DOG EPIPHANY is about grief/mutual healing/rescue dogs.

M.C.Paas writes dark romantic suspense where happily ever after is earned through shadows, secrets, and a heartbeat of danger. Her obsession with storytelling began at fourteen with a single poem and has grown into six completed manuscripts that blend pulse pounding stakes with sinful chemistry. Her debut novel Broken Rules of The Hunt strands two broken souls on opposite sides of a crime that could destroy them or bind them forever.

When she’s not plotting twisted fates, M.C. haunts Estonian coffeehouses, sketches gothic‑tinged art, and spoils her horses to no end. A certified bookworm, she lives for late night page turners and reader DMs.

Book: BROKEN RULES OF THE HUNT

Wildcat is an elite criminal, thriving in a world built on danger and deception. But when an unknown syndicate places a massive bounty on her head, she becomes the hunted. Betrayed by the very criminal society she once ruled, Wildcat is thrust into a high stakes game of survival where every move could be her last.

Enter Fox, a seductive and cunning rival. Torn between claiming the bounty or helping her uncover the dark secrets of her past, he becomes both Wildcat’s greatest threat and her only chance at survival. With powerful enemies closing in and her heart on the line, Wildcat must decide: can she trust the man who has the power to destroy her? Or will falling for him be her most dangerous gamble yet?

In a world where loyalty is deadly and betrayal is currency, the ultimate prize is her life and the cost of love could be her death.

This is a pulse pounding tale of passion, betrayal, and high stakes danger, where the price of trust is survival, and the ultimate heist is her heart.

Book: BROKEN RULES OF THE FIGHT

In the brutal world of the Undercrowd, Serpent has built his own empire. An underground fighting ring where only men step into the cage. It keeps things simple. Controlled. But when his search for his abducted sister leads him to the Russian Bratva’s human trafficking network, his path collides with the last person he ever expected to see alive – Phoenix.

Once a rising star in the ring, Phoenix was supposed to be dead. Now, she’s an Undercrowder, a ghost in the criminal underworld, fighting for survival. And she might be the key to unraveling the Bratva’s secrets. Serpent swore he’d never deal with female fighters again, but Phoenix isn’t just any fighter. She’s a force of nature.

To take down the Bratva and uncover the truth, they’ll have to break every rule, fight against their pasts, and trust each other in a world where trust is a death sentence.

Because in the Undercrowd, the only thing deadlier than the fight itself… is coming back from the grave.

Betrayed by the very criminal society she once ruled, Wildcat is thrust into a high stakes game of survival where every move could be her last.

Enter Fox, a seductive and cunning rival. Torn between claiming the bounty or helping her uncover the dark secrets of her past, he becomes both Wildcat’s greatest threat and her only chance at survival. With powerful enemies closing in and her heart on the line, Wildcat must decide: can she trust the man who has the power to destroy her? Or will falling for him be her most dangerous gamble yet?

In a world where loyalty is deadly and betrayal is currency, the ultimate prize is her life and the cost of love could be her death.

This is a pulse pounding tale of passion, betrayal, and high stakes danger, where the price of trust is survival, and the ultimate heist is her heart.

Book: BROKEN RULES OF THE FIGHT

In the brutal world of the Undercrowd, Serpent has built his own empire. An underground fighting ring where only men step into the cage. It keeps things simple. Controlled. But when his search for his abducted sister leads him to the Russian Bratva’s human trafficking network, his path collides with the last person he ever expected to see alive – Phoenix.

Once a rising star in the ring, Phoenix was supposed to be dead. Now, she’s an Undercrowder, a ghost in the criminal underworld, fighting for survival. And she might be the key to unraveling the Bratva’s secrets. Serpent swore he’d never deal with female fighters again, but Phoenix isn’t just any fighter. She’s a force of nature.

To take down the Bratva and uncover the truth, they’ll have to break every rule, fight against their pasts, and trust each other in a world where trust is a death sentence.

Because in the Undercrowd, the only thing deadlier than the fight itself… is coming back from the grave.

Paas Buzzsprout-17608599 Wed, 22 Oct 2025 06:00:00 -0400 2451 Living The Next Chapter, Author, Publisher, Podcast, Book, Promotion, 607 full false E606 - Claire Isenthal - Balancing Family and Writing, An Adventurous Duology Made to Order E606 - Claire Isenthal - Balancing Family and Writing, An Adventurous Duology Made to Order EPISODE 606 - Claire Isenthal - Balancing Family and Writing, An Adventurous Duology Made to Order

Claire Isenthal grew up traveling all over the world with her family. She graduated from Purdue University and went on to live in Chicago where she worked in Digital Marketing and Ad Sales for over ten years. She has since relocated her family back to her Indiana hometown, but is still an avid traveler and loves nothing more than to lose herself in a good book. She still attributes her knack for structure and pacing to reading some of the Harry Potter books over 10 times. Claire is an International Thriller Writers (ITW) member and has a Substack for new authors — Rising Talent, Earning Your Space in the Publishing Industry. When Claire is not attending writer’s conferences or classes, her evenings are spent with her husband, two children, computer or writers group. The Rising Order is her first novel.

The Rising Order kicks off a series reflecting the rise of extremism and threats society faces in the digital age.
Losing everything changed Wolf. Orphaned at a young age, he had no family, no home, and no future. Until a domestic terrorist organization seduced him into their ranks when he was eighteen. Over the next ten years, he’s transformed into a merciless killer and discovers his life’s purpose in the organization’s mission of societal breakdown. Building a new totalitarian regime consumes him and it starts with collapsing Chicago’s vulnerable electrical grid.

Flynn is trapped in a soul-sucking job, recruiting at a renowned computing firm. When Wolf takes her hostage during a brutal attack on Soldier Field, she becomes a pawn in their mission to take control of the city. Forced to help Wolf infiltrate her company, right and wrong is no longer black or white. If Flynn refuses, he will murder every person she loves. If she agrees, Chicago will suffer unimaginable horror. Killing Wolf is her only solution. But, while searching for his breaking point, she discovers a glimpse of humanity she didn’t know existed—a loneliness she also recognizes in herself. Now, it will take more than wit and willpower to stop him from destroying her city, it will take everything she has.

The New Order lands readers right where Isenthal left them in book I — on the edge of a cliffhanger…
Chicago has fallen and Flynn Zarytsky, an unwilling accomplice in the city’s takeover by REDS, has gone into hiding. As she and her fellow Allies, rebels to the new terrorist regime, scrounge for supplies and survival among the darkened buildings, measures grow desperate. When a meeting gone awry sends Flynn across the path of a familiar face, she’s flung once more into a troubled partnership that could determine the city’s fate.

Alliances are formed and tested as Flynn, Nate, and their comrades create an ambitious plan that could save the nation—or get them all killed. If they want any chance of success, they must learn to place trust and hope in unlikely places.

Can redemption be found for those who have done the most harm but suffered the deepest hurt? Is forgiveness, empathy, even love possible among the broken pieces of REDS’s new order?

The action continues in this final installment of Claire Isenthal’s thrilling series, a page-turning read not to be missed.

Like both my mother and my daughter, I have always loved to read. I also dreamed of writing a book someday. In fact, as a young person, I planned to be a writer by profession.

Life, however, has a way of reminding us that we’re not in charge. In the book, Cyd’s aunt tells her, “Man plans and God laughs.” That has certainly been true in my life. It was a happy accident that I ended up changing my major from journalism to finance. I have enjoyed a long, successful, and rewarding career doing math (which I also love) and working with the best clients anyone could hope for.

In 2019, as I was undergoing chemotherapy treatments and spending lots of time on my sofa, I began writing this book in earnest. I haven’t stopped since.

BOTTOM OF THE BREATH is the result. I took five years to write, and another year to get published. I knew nothing about writing a novel when I began, and it’s a good thing I didn’t know what I didn’t know—otherwise I’m certain I would have never started.

In the course of writing this book and questioning everything from my writing ability to my sanity, I kept coming back to the desire to leave a story for my children and all my readers in which I share some of the lessons I’ve learned in my life—about the importance of family, the absolute necessity of friendship, and the power of forgiveness.

I spent over 16 years as a Television Producer overseeing multi-million dollar productions in New York City and Los Angeles working for companies like MTV, E! Entertainment, Yahoo!, Pop Sugar, A&E, TLC, etc.

My second act began once I leapt into entrepreneurship and opened a franchise business serving families in my community, so I could be more present mom for my two kids. My business quickly grew to be amongst the Top 5 in the organization, and I successfully sold this business in 2024.

While running my first business, I started Second Act Success® Coaching so I could help support women as they start a second act in life by changing careers to start a business.

My focus as a business coach for women is to help others produce their best life, while finding the flexibility, freedom, and fulfillment they deserve.

Now, I share my experience, as a television executive turned business owner with my clients, as we work towards their business goals.

Book: Start Your Second Act - How to Change Careers, Launch a Business, & Create Your Best Life

The ultimate guide to pivot with purpose, reinvent your career, and produce your best life. The career that once inspired you no longer fits your life, and a nagging voice inside tells you there’s something more. When your mind, heart, and dreams no longer align with your current path, it’s time to start your second act.

Shannon Russell, a former TV producer turned entrepreneur and business coach, understands the fears and challenges of disrupting your carefully planned career and taking the leap into something more. Drawing on her personal experiences and the success stories of other women, she shares her proven three-step Second Act Strategy (reflect, research, realize) to guide you from where you are now to where you want to be.

Leslie A. Rasmussen was born and raised in Los Angeles and graduated from UCLA. She went on to write television comedies for Gerald McRaney, Burt Reynolds, Roseanne Barr, Norm McDonald, Drew Carey, The Wild Thornberrys, and Sweet Valley High.

After leaving the business to raise her boys, Leslie obtained a master's degree in nutrition and ran her own business for ten years. Leslie has been published in the Huffington Post over twenty times and speaks on panels discussing female empowerment. She’s a member of the Writers Guild of America, Women in Film, and the UCLA Alumni Association.

After Happily Ever After is Leslie’s debut novel and has won over fifteen awards, and her second novel, The Stories We Cannot Tell, has won eleven awards, and she’s been interviewed about it on NPR and XM radio. Leslie’s newest novel, When People Leave, came out in 2025.

When Leslie isn’t writing, she loves reading, exercising, and spending time with friends. Leslie lives in Southern California with her husband and two sons.

What I Write:
I have found that most women go through a multitude of similar issues in life. As a mom of two and having been married many years, I have seen this first hand. From the time we are in our thirties, we have experienced both joy and sadness. Whether that’s through finding the right partner, having our heart broken, suffering infertility, or losing a loved one. As we go through life, families go through many changes.

Children leave the nest, our parents age, our friendships change, and some marriages end. I write women’s commercial fiction where I delve into the human experience and situations that are relatable to most of us. I want my readers to see themselves or their family or friends in my characters and to realize no matter what they are going through, they aren’t alone. As my background is writing television sitcoms, I also try to find humor in the tough stuff, in fact, those moments are my favorite to write.

A full-time personal trainer and competitive powerlifter, Cal started writing seriously in 2017, drawing inspiration from history, his time spent practicing mixed martial arts, and of course, books. Cal lives in Chicago with his wife, Taylor, and his dachshund, Rizzo.

At the end of the day, I’ll be happy if ShadowBane earns me some loyal fans. As a debut author, I can’t ask for more than that.

Book: ShadowBane
Description
One womb, one soul, two fates. One will rise. One will fall.

Shura and Jin are the last of a divine bloodline, operating at the bloodiest fringes of society where they wield might and magic against the demons they are sworn to destroy. For Shura, it's the only way to restore honor to her lineage and claim her rightful place in the world. For Jin, it's a matter of begrudging duty-and escaping the influence of the three kings vying for control of the continent.

In their pursuit of the sadistic cult behind the demons' resurgence, the twins find themselves hunted by an ancient demon harboring a blood vendetta, and are forced to set aside past grudges and seek the kings' alliance. When Shura discovers a chilling prophecy, she fears that even her newfound allies may not be enough to stem the rising tide of shadow.

Even the palest chance of victory will come at a brutal price. But the prophecy never foretold whose fate would settle the debt: Shura's or her brother's.

Book: GOOD TO GREAT

This book addresses a single question: can a good company become a great company, and if so, how? Based on a five-year research project comparing companies that made the leap to those that did not, Good to Great shows that greatness is not primarily a function of circumstance but largely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline. This book discusses concepts like Level 5 Leadership; First Who, Then What (first get the right people on the bus, then figure out where to drive it); the Hedgehog Concept, and the Flywheel.

My name is Gary Barnes, and it's my mission in life to help people find more creativity, passion, fulfillment, and, yes, wealth in their businesses.

To do that, I help people just like you to learn how to get past their self-defeating behaviors. And I help business creators to:

Stop running your business with "one foot on the gas and the other foot on the brake"
Live a life of vision and purpose, instead of exhausting yourself on the same old treadmill
Create more financial success and abundance (without working yourself into the ground)
Heal relationships and marriages by working with your money instead of against it
Learn to market your business with integrity and authenticity
Have a lot more fun in your business and your life!
My clients call me "The Traction Coach"

Why? Because I specialize in quickly getting some "sand under your wheels" so you can move forward toward the life you want to live.

I know that anyone can lead an empowered life, no matter what challenges you've faced or what circumstances you're in right now. And I've developed tools that will help you realize that potential, not just for today's challenges, but for tomorrow and the years to come.

I also understand what it's like when things aren't so rosy. I've faced down a life-threatening illness . . . and won. That experience is part of what led me to dedicate my life to helping people maximize their lives and their businesses.

Book: How a Beaver Saved My Life (Previously titled Into the Night): The Real Life Story of Adversity to Triumph Book is a dramatic look into one man’s journey when doctors told him that he would be in a wheelchair or dead in ten years. You will share Gary’s engaging, deeply touching, and sometimes hilarious stories. The experience will seem so real that you will think you are there with Gary as he faces death and disability and finds his way to win over both!

Kate Woodworth is the award-winning author of the novel Racing into the Dark, which Publishers Weekly said, “hits the mark repeatedly with emotional truths and fluid prose” and which Kirkus Reviews called, “vivid and honest, dramatic and without pat resolutions: an impressive debut”.

A passionate lover of the natural world, Kate is the author of essays on the impact of climate change on fishing and farming that have been published by the Climate Fiction Writers League and on her Substack, “Food in the Time of Climate Change.” Her novel about love, community, and climate change, Little Great Island, has been called “an extraordinary achievement and a pure pleasure to read” by National Book Award and PEN/Faulkner Award winner Ha Jin. Kate is the founder and creative force behind “Be the Butterfly”, a grassroots climate action initiative that invites everyone to do one small thing to help mitigate climate change. Kate received her MFA from Boston University.

Little Great Island
On Little Great Island, climate change is disrupting both life and love.

After offending the powerful pastor of the cult where she’s lived for a decade, Mari McGavin must flee with her six-year-old son. With no money and no place else to go, she returns to the tiny Maine island where she grew up—a place she swore she’d never see again. There Mari runs into her lifelong friend Harry Richardson, one of the island’s summer residents, now back himself to sell his family’s summer home. Mari and Harry’s lives intertwine once again, setting off a chain of events as unexpected and life altering as the shifts in climate affecting the whole ecosystem of the island…from generations of fishing families to the lobsters and the butterflies.

Little Great Island  illustrates in microcosm the greatest changes of our time and the unyielding power of love.

“An uplifting and grown-up novel in which two lost souls find love and purpose”
—Kirkus Reviews

“…utterly grounded and achingly empathetic, developed with gorgeous, flowing prose and a steady, sometimes heart-wrenching plot.”
—Booklist

About the author: In addition to writing the Camille Delaney series, I’m the founder and busy managing partner of DuBois Levias Law Group, a woman-owned boutique family law firm on Lake Union in Seattle, where I maintain an active family law practice. Over the past thirty years, I’ve represented thousands of individuals – both in divorces and medical malpractice cases. I’ve argued hundreds of motions and taken many cases to trial. I’ve also provided pro bono legal representation for parents who served time in prison and have become very familiar with the issues they face. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I was a high-risk labor and delivery nurse at University of Washington Medical Center.

Having a background in both medicine and the law has given me unique insight into the inequities of both systems. That perspective drove me to create the Camille Delaney mystery series. Camille’s adventures weave questions about justice into a fast-paced reading experience with the twists and turns one would expect from a good thriller. My purpose in writing the series is to raise awareness of injustice and create an opportunity for readers to reflect on how our system could work better for those most marginalized.

Book: The Complication - The first in the Camille Delaney Mystery series, The Complication is a fast-paced legal and medical mystery filled with greed, murder, and intrigue. After her friend Dallas Jackson suffers a fatal complication during routine surgery, Seattle attorney Camille Delaney is determined to find out why. Dallas was like a father to Camille, and she feels she owes it to him and his family to get answers. 

Book: Deliver Them From Evil - In book two of the Camille Delaney Mystery series, a mother turns to Camille for help investigating a top Seattle doctor after tragedy strikes the delivery room.

Seattle attorney Camille Delaney is cash-strapped and struggling to balance the demands of her new solo legal practice with raising her three daughters. But when an emergency C-section goes wrong and a baby dies in the delivery room, the mother, Helene Anderson, shows up at Camille’s office asking for help. Facing the challenge of a legal system where child-loss verdicts are limited by the dollar value placed on a child’s life, Camille considers a quick settlement for the family. But Helene insists: her child’s life had value, and Camille needs to prove it in court.

Book: UNSHACKLED - A Camille Delaney Mystery

Shackled to her bed against the pleas of medical staff, Charli Zhao gives birth to a beautiful daughter named Willow. Charli had been transported to the hospital from prison, where she is serving time for a crime she didn’t commit. Within hours of the birth the unthinkable happens: the newborn is abducted, leaving Charli devastated and wondering if she’ll ever find her child, even after she gets free.

Book: Effective! Seven Keys to Christian Leadership Success

In every facet of society, we encounter leaders-individuals in positions to guide and influence others for the greater good. Leaders can be found in schools, government, entertainment, sports, homes, and churches. While leaders deserve to be admired and respected for their roles, many have recently fallen short of our expectations, failing to embody the qualities we want our children to emulate. This disillusionment comes from witnessing failures, including those among leaders of our families and churches, where self-indulgence and greed have become prevalent. The pressing question is: what has led to this breakdown in leadership, and how can we address it?

**EFFECTIVE!** by Dr. Arthor L. Faber directly identifies the problem of leadership failure and its roots, while proposing solutions. Through analysis of case studies and testimonies from leaders, the book highlights that many leadership challenges stem from inadequate preparation. Faber outlines seven "keys" to success for Christian leaders: PRAYER, FAITH, INTEGRITY, VISION, WISDOM, STEWARDSHIP, and AGAPE LOVE. Each key is defined, connected to biblical principles, and illustrated with personal insights from the author. Whether you are beginning your leadership journey, currently leading, or shaping future leaders, **EFFECTIVE!** serves as a vital resource. By applying its principles, the possibility of failure diminishes, allowing the vision of success as a Christian leader to become their reality. God calls us to be EFFECTIVE! With this guidebook, effective leadership is just a read away.

Richard H. Carson’s 40-year career includes being a practicing executive manager, organizational consultant, and research university academic. The latter was spent doing doctorate level research at a “Tier One” research university (Washington State University) in organizational psychology. For the first 30 years he worked as a senior executive manager and as a policy analyst, on economic and environmental issues, to three Oregon governors. He then spent the next 10 years as a change management consultant for a national management company. He worked helping both profit and non-profit organizations become more performance efficient and cost-effective.

This experience resulted in his creating the PSOCM process model to achieve organizational change management. This also resulted in his founding the firm of Carson & Associates in 2018.The firm now provides services such as organizational change management, strategic planning, and executive coaching exclusively to individuals and organizations.Carson brings fresh new thinking to the process of organizational change management (OCM).

Step-by-Step Guide to make Organizational Change Management
The Book of Change is both a cutting-edge, meta-analysis model and a resource publication where the reader can learn about the change management process. You can learn about the history, terminology, institutions and current thinking regarding the topic. Much of the publication is built on the thinking of others who have been or are contributing to the field.

The Book of Change is the first and only doctorate level, systematic meta-analysis of the seven decades of both the historical and the published organizational change management models. The book presents a comprehensive model that combines the best attributes of the various change management models that have been created in the last 75 years. One of the more unique and appealing aspects of the book is its readability, as in non-academic and non-metaphysical, in terms of explaining what needs to be done.

Joe made a bunch of short films and one feature length movie with friends and no money. To this day, I enjoy watching those early attempts to craft a story, but essentially this era of on-the-job-training was my film school. Now it was time to take my first big swing. 

I wrote a script I felt I could raise enough money to shoot myself, a found-footage film, and I spent a year begging for cash and favors. The star of a hit TV show, who had gone to the same high school as me, graciously agreed to act in it. An NBA player made a small investment. Actor, comedian, and Late Show with David Letterman regular, Jay Thomas agreed to make a cameo. The snowball was growing and eventually I scraped together enough cash to direct Life Tracker. The movie played over 20 science fiction conventions and got a digital distribution deal with Charter Communications (now Spectrum) and streamed into millions of American homes.

Life Tracker 

Great! Now I needed a follow up to prove that my work ethic couldn't be mistaken for beginner's luck.​ Taking advantage of a group of talented actor friends and another who owned property outside of Fresno, I wrote and directed a super-low-budget homage to The Big Chill called The Drama Club which can currently be seen on Tubi.

The Drama Club 

Looking back from that point, I could see the years of work I'd put in. Meeting people. Working with casts and crews. Going on adventures together. taking risks and building trust. Jobs started to fall into place. I signed my first manager. I joined the Writers Guild of America. I pitched big shot producers at legacy studios and powerhouse production companies. Always searching for that next opportunity. That's when I met Blair Underwood. A business lunch turned into an attachment (and a friendship), and soon I was hitting up everyone I'd ever done business with to see who wanted to join the team.

Viral was written and produced by me, it's directed by and stars Blair, and he shares the screen with Sarah Silverman, Jeanine Mason, and the incomparable Alfre Woodard! The movie is finished and we're actively working with our sales team to bring it to audiences.

In the mean time, I’m working with Amistad (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing) on a two-book deal titled Sins of Survivors about the plight of a family who lived in the once vital African American neighborhood of Black Bottom in 1930s and 40s Detroit. The first book is currently available everywhere books are sold, and the second hits shelves in the summer of 2026... So, go to your local bookstore's website get your copy!

Why "Ginger Beard," you ask? My wife's maiden name is "Beard," and when our son was born he had a reddish tint to his hair. So, my company is named after my son, my "Ginger Beard"... It's only a bonus that I have red facial hair.

Francene Gillis, author/consultant/educator/advocate, has been a writer her whole life, starting at the age of five with a writing contest created by her teacher at Port Hood Consolidated, Mother St. Magdalene. Fifty years later, she is still writing in multiple genres, both fiction and nonfiction for a variety of audiences. 

She devoured books in the school library and putting words to paper became therapeutic when life’s tragedies hit. She discovered that her writing could speak for those in pain. Experiencing the devastating loss of loved ones, much of her first writings involved themes of inspiration, loss, overcoming adversity, and sharing her feelings with others so they would not feel alone. She started writing poetry as a teen and giving it to grieving friends, or as tributes to community members. 

She majored in English at St. Francis Xavier University, continued with a BEd, and obtained a master's in education in Multiculturalism, Administration & Leadership. A community activist, she writes advocacy pieces, such as those gathered in her book, A Rose in November and in her regular column for the Inverness Oran.

Her latest book, Where Did i Go? A Memoir Plus, will launch June 2025, partner published by OC Publishing. It was written after her career as a high school English teacher came to an unexpected, painful end in 2016 due to a slip and fall on black ice on her way to work that caused mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). 

Except for educational purposes, Francene has always lived in Port Hood on the coast of Cape Breton, NS. with the ocean at her backdoor.

Cedric Mu is a storyteller whose roots lie in migration, identity, and the search for belonging. Born into a world where stories were cherished like family heirlooms, Cedric grew up immersed in tales that spanned generations and geographies, stories of home, displacement, and resilience. These narratives inspired a lifelong passion for capturing the essence of the human experience—especially the delicate balance of living between cultures.

With Grow Your Roots Where You Land, Cedric brings to life the poignant journey of Ayaan, a Somali immigrant who arrives in Detroit with nothing but dreams of a better life. Infused with cultural authenticity, Cedric’s writing blends Somali traditions with American urban life, celebrating both the joy and pain of building a new identity in a foreign land. Through the rhythms of Somali qaraami music and the electrifying pulse of Detroit’s techno beats, Cedric tells a story that resonates with anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds.

As a self-taught writer, Cedric’s path to authorship has been shaped by listening to the experiences of immigrants and those grappling with identity, with a deep commitment to honoring both Somali and American traditions. A writer with a storyteller’s heart, Cedric invites readers to explore the transformative power of becoming and growing roots wherever life takes them.

About Noël Stark
LOVE, CAMERA, ACTION is Noël Stark’s debut novel. She's worked in almost every position in the Film/TV industry, both in front of and behind the camera. Although she’s Canadian, she lives in L.A. with her young son, desperately missing winter. She likes chocolate milk in her coffee and gets most of her real world intel from her three step kids.

Love, Camera, Action
Up-and-coming TV director Cali Daniels knows sex. Well, okay, she knows how to shoot sex scenes, and she’s been hired to direct a highly anticipated steamy episode of the popular series The Demon. This job is her chance at a big-time career in the film and television industry—all she has to do is deliver an unparalleled show using her hard-knocks know-how and ample creativity.

If only the director of photography—effortlessly sexy Jory Blair—would stop shutting her ideas down at every turn. Jory has spent years cultivating his career as an A-list director of photography, but a recent health scare has him rethinking his life and craving the director spot. Now this creative newbie, who he can’t get out of his mind, wants to change the look of his show. Even worse, the friction between them is sparking into blistering chemistry.

As collaborating takes on a whole new meaning, and the show’s producer not-so-subtly suggests that Jory sabotage Cali in order to achieve his own goals, they’ll have to decide if chasing their dream jobs is worth losing the dream of a future together.

Fans of How to Fake It in Hollywood and Plot Twist will devour this steamy, enemies to lovers, workplace, debut romance.

As a veteran talent agent with over 20 years of securing major roles for actors, he has unparalleled insights into the entertainment industry's challenges.

Book: Rise Above the Script: Confronting Self Doubt and Mastering Self Sabotage for Performing Artists

We all hold dreams within, yearning to manifest our highest potential. Yet when opportunity arises, inner obstacles often trigger self-sabotage. What mental traps prevent actualizing our possibilities?

By strengthening self-belief, managing motivation, optimizing natural talents, and confronting deep-seated fears like failure and success that distort our path, we clear the way for actualizing dormant gifts.

Lucie is a no-longer-practicing lawyer and the author of How the Hell Did I Not Know That? (Trinity University Press, August 2025). 

She has written humor and satire for NextTribe, Slackjaw, The Belladonna, Points in Case, Emrys Journal, and others. She is active on social media, with 100k+ engaged followers across various platforms. 

She lives in Central Texas with her three needy, delightful dogs.

How the Hell Did I Not Know That? My Midlife Year from Couch to Curiosity

How the Hell Did I Not Know That is a witty and honest companion, a girlfriend, if you will, for women in midlife who are struggling to find their place in the world, who are concerned about misogyny, climate change, and the industrial prison complex, just not while watching the latest episode of The Bachelor. 

Frost shows us that women “of a certain age” need to take themselves seriously while remembering to laugh at inappropriate things and that they can find meaning in life by relying on the power of curiosity.

Thomas Cullen is a Federal Trial Judge and former U.S. attorney in Virginia. He is also an accomplished writer, regularly publishing op-eds and essays for national and regional media outlets over the past decade. Thomas graduated near the top of his class from William and Mary Law School and was recently honored as its 2024 Carter O. Lowance Fellow. A native of Richmond, Virginia, Thomas studied history and ran track at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, which recently awarded him an honorary doctorate. Charlie-Man is his first novel.

Book: Charlie-Man

It’s August 1994, and Charlie Stewart begins his final year at St. Mark’s Episcopal School, a prestigious all-boys school in Richmond, Virginia. Charlie, an undistinguished student by St. Mark’s standards, faces tough odds as he seeks to rekindle his relationship with Katy Hendricks, a beautiful tennis star, and gain admission to a highly selective state university. Through it all, Charlie relies on Beau Miller, his best friend and the top student athlete in their class. Despite Beau’s movie-star looks and infectious charm, he has a darker side, which becomes more apparent as the year progresses. Charlie endures his trials with wry determination and ultimately emerges with a renewed sense of purpose. This is a heartrending but hopeful story of one boy’s journey toward manhood in the American South.

It Ends with Me is a Movement to empower people to Reclaim their power after Trauma AND to educate people on how to protect our children from abuse today. 

The two part mission is a result of Debbra’s story of growing up a victim of Childhood Sexual Abuse and living a life shadowed by the lingering affects of such a childhood. The mission includes helping others Reclaim their power in months versus years with specific tools and mindset shifts. The other focus is on education about how to keep children from abuse today.  A difficult conversation today avoids a painful healing process later.

Book: It Ends With Me: Breaking the cycles that keep us stuck

The cycle of abuse ends here, now. I will heal myself. I will go boldly to share my story and end the shame of what was done to me; for me and those who need to do the same.

These generational curses that plague our families have to end. I let it all go. It wasn’t my fault. I was a child whose innocence was stolen. Whose identity was tarnished. I had been brave and strong for far too long.

From now on I will love myself with the same love I have for others. I know love is supportive. Love cares when you are hurt. Love uplifts and encourages. Love seeks to help you become your best self. Love appreciates who you are. Love accepts your faults but requires you to rise above them when necessary and do better. Love wants you to be safe and happy. Love is a place to be your true self. Love is reciprocal. It cherishes you and celebrates you. Love wants to see the love you give returned to you tenfold. Love sees your pain and wipes away your tears. Love opens its arms and offers a safe place to lay it all down and know you are loved.

Find the love you are so deserving of and give it to yourself!!

I decided to create a book that is also a journal that will hopefully start you on a journey to loving yourself and seeing yourself as the amazing individual you are.

Six to carry the casket and one to say the mass: reflections on life, identity, and moving forward offers the unique opportunity for its readers to start a new dialogue, take an active hand in creating culture and reshaping the world, and think about making meaning from formative experiences and relationships. From family dynamics and professional challenges that bolstered and battered him to the TV shows, films, books, and people who impacted his queer identity, Bill deconstructs the world that he inherited and begins to reconstruct the person he wants to become through short, poignant, thought-provoking, and frequently hilarious essays. 

The post-2020 world revealed to Bill that social transformation only comes with individual choices. If he wanted the world to change, he had to truthfully and compassionately understand how choices made long ago brought him to this moment and how the choices he makes now shape the future.

This book is not didactic or instructional; not self-help or psychology; not academic philosophy or cultural criticism. It is an exercise in honesty and a portrait of Bill, his family, and how we construct multiple identities—sexual, religious, philosophical, political, familial, relational—without reducing them to a monolithic whole, without being argumentative.

For anyone looking to make meaning out of their lives and the world around them, this book offers a model.

]]> Episode 579 - Bill Hulseman - Six to carry the casket and one to say the mass - Reflections on life, identity, and moving forward

Six to carry the casket and one to say the mass: reflections on life, identity, and moving forward offers the unique opportunity for its readers to start a new dialogue, take an active hand in creating culture and reshaping the world, and think about making meaning from formative experiences and relationships. From family dynamics and professional challenges that bolstered and battered him to the TV shows, films, books, and people who impacted his queer identity, Bill deconstructs the world that he inherited and begins to reconstruct the person he wants to become through short, poignant, thought-provoking, and frequently hilarious essays. 

The post-2020 world revealed to Bill that social transformation only comes with individual choices. If he wanted the world to change, he had to truthfully and compassionately understand how choices made long ago brought him to this moment and how the choices he makes now shape the future.

This book is not didactic or instructional; not self-help or psychology; not academic philosophy or cultural criticism. It is an exercise in honesty and a portrait of Bill, his family, and how we construct multiple identities—sexual, religious, philosophical, political, familial, relational—without reducing them to a monolithic whole, without being argumentative.

For anyone looking to make meaning out of their lives and the world around them, this book offers a model.

Anne Mollova is an award-winning fantasy author living with her family in Pittsburgh, PA. Aside from writing, she loves being in nature, making music, eating chocolate, drinking tea, and creating things out of yarn and needles. She still keeps an eye out for faeries and hasn't yet accepted the fact that she cannot have a pet baby dragon.

Seer of Strands 

Book 3 of The Trianid

A new and dangerous magic. A promise to the faerie king. A musical treasure map no bard can decode.

With the darklings gone, the kingdom of Dúramair is no longer under threat. But the Trianid remains splintered, and behind the walls of Monstar Abbey, the Seer of Strands harbors two secrets: a seemingly destructive magic rising within her and a promise to the faerie king that must be kept.

When Faer Dinnán appears to see the promise fulfilled, it ensnares the young Trianid in an adventure that will test the limits of both their magic and their bonds. But even as Lirianna hopes her efforts will strengthen the Trianid, her own destiny as the Seer of Strands becomes increasingly tenuous. Fearing for a future her secrets could destroy and confronted by a past she thought she left behind, Lirianna can no longer ignore her growing magic—or the consequences of using it.

“The plot of Keeper of Scales is … executed with a confidence and verve that should have no problems hooking in readers with its venerable twists and turns.” - The BookLife Prize

“Anne has truly written an epic YA Fantasy for the ages.” - Anne Sengstock

“Thoughtfully crafted and impressively immersive, this novel is hard to put down.” - Judge, 10th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published E-Book Awards

About the author

Lawrence C. Connolly’s books include the collections "This Way to Egress," whose titular tale of psychological horror was adapted for the Mick Garris film "Nightmare Cinema"; and the Bram-Stoker-nominated "Voices," which features Connolly’s best stories from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Twilight Zone, Year’s Best Horror, and other top magazines and anthologies of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. A third collection, "Visions," was praised by Publishers Weekly for featuring an eclectic mix of “entertaining and satisfying” SF.

His novels include the eco-thrillers "Veins," "Vipers," and "Vortex." World Fantasy Award winner T. E. D. Klein called "Veins" "a crime thriller as intense and fast-moving as a Tarantino movie."

This fall, Caezik Science Fiction will release his new novel "Minute-Men: Execute & Run," a globetrotting adventure that combines elements of military science fiction, gaming, and medical suspense in a thrilling reinvention of the superhero genre. 

He is collaborating with brother Christopher Connolly and Academy Award-winning producer Jonathan Sanger to develop a feature film based on "Execute & Run."

I'm Gabrýel—a 22-year-old author, artist, and musician based in Portland, Oregon. My work lives somewhere between gothic allure and post-punk energy, often shifting between darkness and defiance. I was once a high school valedictorian and poetry prodigy, racking up nearly every academic accolade I could… but what truly defines my voice is my unflinching exploration of identity and the cultural intersections I was raised within.

David Galef is an American fiction writer, critic, poet, translator, and essayist because he can’t seem to make up his mind what to specialize in, though he’s been a writer for over 40 years. He’s published over fifteen books, from novels and short story collections and children’s books to poetry books, criticism, and translation. A few highlights: His third novel, How to Cope with Suburban Stress, made Kirkus’ “Best Books of the Year.” His second short story collection, My Date with Neanderthal Woman, won Dzanc Books’ inaugural short story collection prize, and the title story was performed at Selected Shorts at Symphony Space. 

David received a B.A. in English from Princeton, and an M.A. and Ph.D. in English from Columbia, with a specialty in British Modernism. From 1989 to 2008, he was a professor of English at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, where he administered the M.F.A. program in creative writing until 2007. In 2008, he received a Fulbright Fellowship to live in Tokyo for four months, after which he returned home, landed a job in New Jersey, and hopped back over the Mason-Dixon line. He is now a professor of English and the creative writing program director at Montclair State University.

David is married to the journalist and editor Beth Weinhouse. Their son, Daniel Galef, is a writer, too, God help him. David and his family live in Montclair, New Jersey, a cool, artsy community where you can’t throw a rock without hitting at least three writers.

Fun fact (at least some people find it fun): David has also been a humor columnist for Inside Higher Ed, where he wrote for years about a school called U of All People.

Book: Where I Went Wrong

Tony Mazza is having a bad day, which is what a lot of his days are like lately. He’s worked at a real estate agency, a bike shop, and a bar, among other places, and he’s currently managing as a hospital orderly. Or at least he was until, high on Percocet, he drove off with stolen property in an ambulance owned by the hospital and crashed into another ambulance. “Where did I go wrong?” he wonders aloud from his jail cell. Tony often wonders about this, whether it’s losing the affection of his kids (he’s twice divorced) or making a gaffe when selling a house to a prospective buyer. But he’s not hapless, he’s rather smart, and he’s even rather likeable. So where did he go wrong? This question keeps cropping up as each chapter takes Tony further back in time: issues with his first wife, disastrous investments, unfortunate family events in high school and earlier . . . all the way back to his birth, as recounted by his mother. Where I Went Wrong is Tony Mazza’s story, a novel that’s both comic and serious, exploring why some people fail while others get away with little short of murder.

NextGen Story is about helping families capture the stories of their loved ones.

My name is Mali, the founder of NextGen Story. I am a former high school teacher with a background working in university, non-profit, and philanthropic settings. I'm a family historian, facilitator, and certified Guided Autobiography instructor. I hold a B.A. (UBC), B.Ed. (SFU), and an M.A. in Adult Learning and Education (UBC). I'm also the author of Our Homes on Indigenous Lands: Stories of My Ancestors Across Turtle Island.

This work began when I helped my grandmother publish her memoirs. She had typewritten stories and old albums of photos. I worked with her to type, scan, organize, edit, design, and eventually publish a family history book. She was so proud of her book, and it has meant so much to our family.

I've always dreamed that I could help other families publish their own family history books. Thanks to the team of talented writers, editors, and designers at NextGen Story, we have helped dozens of families complete their book for friends, family, and beyond. Check out our books to see some examples.

Without NextGen Story our family’s precious book would not have been made. Mali’s keen eye for detail and her sense of the overall picture brought our Grandmother’s memories together to form a beautiful, fascinating, and meaningful arc. Not only did this project create an absolute treasure of a book, but the process also allowed many of us grandchildren to spend time connecting with Grandma through photos, writings, and conversations as we helped curate and edit. Mali was organized and professional yet completely sensitive to our family’s feelings and priorities throughout.

Lee Clark is the author of the Matthew Paine Mystery series of classic murder mystery novels, including Dead Spots, Prefer Death, MIA, Christmas Punch, Iced, Forbidden Relics, and the upcoming Killer Convergence to be released in the spring of 2025. 

According to multiple reviews across the book series on goodreads and Amazon, Clark "writes like Agatha Christie," and is reminiscent of Margaret Maron and Louise Penny. A North Carolina native, Clark grew up in Raleigh with family roots in Virginia. An admitted chocoholic and coffeeholic, Lee Clark still resides in North Carolina with spouse, two mostly grown children who are in and out, and a dwindling petting zoo of geriatric dogs and cats.  

Lee Clark attended Campbell University, obtained a degree in Journalism from East Carolina University, and then a Master’s in Technical Communication from North Carolina State University. Following a twenty year career in the software development industry of corporate America at IBM, Clark turned to writing fiction in 2021 with the release of Dead Spots, the first in the Matthew Paine Mystery series. 

The Matthew Paine character is a beloved character to the author. Though a fictional character, Matthew was inspired by two very important men in the author’s life, brother Sean and son Will. Both will catch glimpses of themselves in the character and identify with some of Matthew’s struggles.

Sally McQuillen, LCSW, CADC
Certified Grief Educator 

Sally McQuillen, LCSW, CADC, is a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in addiction, grief, and trauma recovery. 

She provides ongoing support for addiction recovery, as well as support for those recovering from the impact of a loved one’s addiction. She sees adults seeking relief from mood symptoms, helps them navigate their personal and professional relationships and lead more fulfilling lives. She works with clients to find peace and healing from trauma and loss. Her goal is to bring light into the lives of her clients intuitively pulling from different therapeutic models and resources to support their specific needs.

Book: Reaching for Beautiful - A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild Child

A luminous story of how love triumphs over pain, love transcends fear, and love never dies; this debut memoir from a mother grieving her young-adult son’s death is a must-read for any parent who has lost a child, is raising a child from the edge of their seat, or whose family struggles with addiction.

When Sally’s twenty-one-year-old son died in a boat accident, her greatest fear is realized. Christopher was often drawn to risk and struggled with addiction. In this riveting memoir, Sally captures the wild ride of his jam-packed life and her deep love for him while reflecting on her own childhood and family’s legacy of alcoholism. 

Sally shares insights about what it’s like to experience the emotional aftershocks of acute grief, filtered through the lens of her personal experience as a mother and her professional vantage point as a psychotherapist. Even if they have not been touched by loss in this way, readers may see themselves in Sally’s bittersweet illusion of trying to keep her son safe, in how she is challenged to let go of her fear, guilt, and regret in order to forgive herself, and in the ways grief teaches her about the power of love.

Judith Valente is an awarding-winning author, print and broadcast journalist, poet and essayist.

She is a sought-after speaker and retreat leader on such subjects as living a more contemplative life, discovering inner wisdom through poetry, and finding meaning in your work. She is a lay associate of the Benedictine monastery Mount St. Scholastica in Atchison, Kansas, which is the subject of her 2013 memoir, Atchison Blue: A Search for Silence, a Spiritual Home and a Living Faith, which was chosen by Religion Newswriters Association as one of the three best spirituality books of that year.

Her book, The Art Of Pausing: Meditations For The Overworked And Overwhelmed won a Best Book Award from the Catholic Press Association.

More recently, she wrote How to Live: What The Rule of St. Benedict Teaches Us About Happiness, Meaning, and Community, which was followed in 2021 by How to Be: A Monk and a Journalist Reflect on Living & Dying, Purpose & Prayer, Forgiveness & Friendship.


Judith and Associated Press President, Will Stevenson.

She began her work in journalism at the age of 21 as a staff reporter for The Washington Post. She later joined the staff of The Wall Street Journal, reporting from that paper’s Chicago and London bureaus. She was twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, first in the public service category as part of a team of reporters at The Dallas Times Herald investigating airline safety. She was a finalist for the Pulitzer in the feature writing category for her front page article in The Wall Street Journal chronicling the story of a religiously conservative father caring for his son dying of AIDS.

Judith was a regular contributor to the national PBS TV news program Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly. She won numerous broadcast awards for her work on the show. Her work also appeared on The PBS News Hour. She previously covered religion, interviewed poets and authors, and served as a guest essayist on National Public Radio and Chicago Public Radio, and was a senior correspondent at WGLT radio, an NPR affiliate in central Illinois.

Book - The Italian Soul offers practical guidance into how we can transport a taste of the Italian “good life” into our own homes. Additionally, it explores the contemplative practices and attitudes that seem to come naturally to a people who have made an art of living and working joyfully. It is both a travel dispatch and a spirituality guide for seekers who eschew traditional religious practices but are yearning for ways to bring more balance, sanity, and a greater sense of the transcendent into their daily lives.

About the Author

Joseph Bolton was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island during the twilight of the golden age of French-Canadian culture in New England. Growing up emersed in his mother’s French-Canadian family, Joseph enjoyed hearing the stories told by his grandparents and great aunts of a mysterious and magical place called Québec, otherwise known as “the place we came from.”

After high school, Joseph’s adventurous nature led him to enlist in the U.S. Army and he served in the Army’s airborne forces as a paratrooper jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, much to the worry of his mother.

Since he retired from the Army, Joseph has worked in various project manager roles as a civilian contractor for the U.S. Air Force. While writing Old Grandmother’s Tree, Joseph took a sabbatical from the U.S. Air Force and taught mathematics to young students for a semester at Holy Family Academy in Gardner Massachusetts.

Bolton is of French-Canadian, Native American, Spanish, English, and Irish descent, and is profoundly inspired by the stories of his heritage. He lives with his wife in Massachusetts, and, in his free time, enjoys hiking and skiing through Québec and New England landscapes. His favorite places to go for outdoor adventure are the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts and Mont-Orford in Québec. When he is not writing, hiking, or skiing, Joseph enjoys reading about science, history, philosophy, mathematics, and worldwide mythologies. Old Grandmother’s Tree is his first book.

Barret Baumgart is an essayist, screenwriter, and the author of the nonfiction books China Lake and YUCK. His essays have appeared in The Paris Review, The Gettysburg Review, The Iowa Review, The Rumpus, Vice, LitHub, The Seneca Review, and The Literary Review, among others. He lives in Los Angeles.

Book: Yuck: The Birth & Death of the Weird & Wondrous Joshua Tree, Yucca brevifolia

Are you headed to Joshua Tree this summer? Get ready to hate your life. It's not the heat that will wilt your spirit, nor the choke of traffic waiting to trample the park, but the enduring grotesquerie of its cherished namesake, the Joshua Tree.

"One can scarcely find a term of ugliness that is not apt for this plant... A landscape filled with Joshua Trees has a nightmare effect even in broad daylight: at the witching hour it can be almost infernal." -Joseph Smeaton Chase, 1919

Similarly, few terms exist that do not fit Barret Baumgart's appalling YUCK. Part prose poem, pamphlet, collage, history, essay, memoir, and fiction, YUCK is a grotesque malformation beset with uncanny connections, jarring juxtaposition, and a buried true history that will have you asking yourself the big questions, particularly... Why am I here?

Who knows, but here you are... in the weird and wondrous world of YUCK, a brief and searing ode to the world's hottest desert, the Mojave, its divine and dying mascot, Yucca brevifolia, and the magical land that killed it all, Los Angeles.

From the publisher:

YUCK presents an unsettling new history of one of the most loathed and beloved objects on the planet, the Joshua Tree, Yucca brevifolia. It primarily focuses on the discovery, naming, and attempted eradication of the Joshua Tree beginning in the late 1870s in Southern California. The Joshua Tree was universally reviled as the most grotesque object on earth following its discovery by white Europeans in the 1840s. Numerous schemes arose to extirpate it from the planet, the most promising among them an attempt to turn the tree into paper, "California Cactus Paper" [YUCK is, of course, printed on faux CA Cactus Paper]. The book excavates this unknown, buried history against the ironic backdrop of the Joshua Tree today becoming the ultra-hip signifier of some kind of cultural authenticity, and its national park the most photographed and fastest growing in the nation #JoshuaTree. This current popularity boom, in a further irony, is occurring just as scientists warn that the tree will likely vanish due to climate change by the end of the century.

Founder of the Top Ranked Haven Writing Retreats

“I’m so glad you are here. Thank you. You are a very large part of why I write —why I sit at the intersection of heart and mind and craft that is the writing life.” 

Laura Munson
New York Times Best Selling Author

You complete the trajectory that begins at my writing desk and longs to land in your hands as you spend an hour in bed reading in the wee hours, or on your commute, or in a quiet corner on a Sunday afternoon. It’s you who I want to reach, and it’s you who makes my work whole. Writing is a solitary act, and I believe that we write first to bridge to ourselves SO THAT we can bridge to our collective human community. I deeply love that something I write in a small room in Montana can cross oceans, mountains, transcend social groups, age, religion, difference. Heart language is heart language. And I have learned in my thirty years of living the contemplative life that writing is one thing if it is anything: truth. We writers disrupt. We question. We examine. We wonder. And most of all, we hold up the mirror to truth.

https://lauramunson.com/haven-writing-programs/

Helping Authors:

Find Their Voice, Find Their Narrative​, Find Their Motion

The Book: The Wild Why - Stories and Teachings to Uncover Your Wonder

For fans of Brené Brown’s Daring Greatly, Glennon Doyle’s Untamed, and Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic, this illuminating self-help tool is the perfect book for anyone who yearns to rekindle their own voice.

What is wonder?

Wonder is curiosity and awe put together. We are born with our wonder intact. Why? What? How? Wow! Look at that rainbow! What makes a rainbow? Wonder is what we need to survive and thrive, not just as individuals but also as a civilization. It’s what’s lauded and honored by our society in young children. Until it isn’t.

The Wild Why calls for an illuminating end to this endemic crisis of self, and a return to what we know at birth and need to reclaim. This is a book of teaching, and teaching-spirited stories, all centered on how to find our true self-expression and the wonder that spawns it.

Author's Bio
I am of Japanese and Jewish lineage, born in Tokyo, a late post WWII baby. I grew up moving every year until the age of 14 when my parents settled in Petersburg, VA. I graduated with a BS in Biology from the College of William and Mary, then served two years as a Peace Corp volunteer in the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. I returned to live in NYC and eventually graduated from the MFA Program at Columbia University. I later began psychoanalytic training at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies. After graduation, I became the Director of the institute and editor of its journal, Modern Psychoanalysis. I have been in private practice since 2001 as a licensed psychoanalyst and recently completed a plant medicine guide training program at the Center for Medicine Work in Philadelphia.

My entrance into poetry begins with these lines from “Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, On Revisiting the Banks of the Wye during a Tour. July 13, 1798” by William Wordsworth:

And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.

Those lines form the basis of my book The Long Journey Out. I was a sophomore in college, adrift in the back of the room in a second semester composition class when the professor read those lines. They woke me from my stupor. There, in those lines, I heard a kindred voice that spoke to an experience I had, an LSD trip, that was, to borrow a cliché, awash in the ineffable, a boundless sense of oneness where any distinction between self and other sundered. That voice joined with another, “An unexamined life is life not worth living,” from which a path emerged, unknown to me at the time--and forgive if what follows sounds pretentious--that took me to Jung, the Peace Corps and Costa Rica, Gurdjieff, poetry, eastern doctrine through The I Ching and the Bhagavad Gita, the TS Eliot of The Four Quartets, Heidegger’s Being and Time, the gospels of the New Testament, and too many other books to enumerate, and an abiding curiosity about the unconscious, thus the study and practice of Freud and psychoanalysis, meditation, making do in the East Village of the early 80s, Ashtanga yoga, domestity and two wives and two children, dabbling along the way into neuroscience, windsurfing, and cosmology.

The book The Long Journey Out is, from the place where I now am, the diary of that journey.

Karl Hörnell is a cartoonist and a game developer with a degree in engineering and a PhD in applied mathematics. He grew up in a quiet suburb north of Uppsala, Sweden, where he spent way too much time doing creative things for no good reason. Thankfully, he has been able to continue on that track for most of his adult life.

Book: Singularity Minus Twelve

In a near future where artificial general intelligence has been achieved, AIs that develop self-awareness are becoming a problem. Difficult to contain, they are often hunted and destroyed, but a team of exceptional ones has been spared to take down the most dangerous rogue AI of all time.Singularity Minus Twelve is a sci-fi thriller that delves into the near-term philosophical and societal implications of artificial intelligence, while having some fun playing with characters inspired by popular fictional AIs.

"I love a thoughtful, well-executed narrative and Singularity Minus Twelve by Karl Hörnell was an absolute treat for me. This is one of those rare books that grips you with its sharp intelligence.

Set against the haunting backdrop of a future shaped—and perhaps doomed—by runaway artificial intelligence, Singularity Minus Twelve beautifully blends fast-paced action with deeply philosophical questions about agency, consciousness, and the terrifying, blurry line between human and machine. From the nerve-wracking opening scene of a doll-like rogue robot outsmarting a tactical team, to the subtle but chilling political undercurrents about global AI arms races, author Hörnell builds a disturbingly plausible world.

The characters, especially Blake, are written with emotional depth and nuance. His struggles with memory loss and identity ground the bigger tech-driven narrative in something heartbreakingly human. I loved how even amid the breakneck plot, the novel kept circling back to one core question: What happens when we create minds we don't understand—and can't control?

The pacing was relentless but never at the cost of intelligent storytelling. If I had to nitpick, I'd say a few sections could have been tightened just a bit, but honestly, that's just me wishing the story could have flowed even smoother because I was so invested.

If you love hard science fiction with heart, danger, and razor-sharp insight into where humanity might be heading, you cannot miss Singularity Minus Twelve. This is sci-fi at its finest—bold, unsettling, and fiercely intelligent." Heena Rathore Rathore-Pardeshi on Goodreads

His novels, acclaimed by critics as well as fellow authors, have been translated into a dozen languages and sold more than a million copies worldwide. Leonard Goldberg is himself a consulting physician affiliated with the UCLA Medical Center, where he holds an appointment as Clinical Professor of Medicine. A highly sought-after expert witness in medical malpractice trials, he is board certified in internal medicine, hematology and rheumatology, and has published over a hundred scientific studies in peer-reviewed journals.

On the strength of the critical and popular reception of TRANSPLANT, Leonard Goldberg was off to the races as an author of medical thrillers. He began writing a series of new books, with a continuing main character named Joanna Blalock. The "Joanna Blalock" series features a forensic pathologist at a prestigious university medical center who has a Holmesian knack for solving murders. The books, published in the U.S. by Dutton and Signet, include DEADLY MEDICINE, A DEADLY PRACTICE, DEADLY CARE, DEADLY HARVEST, DEADLY EXPOSURE, LETHAL MEASURES, FATAL CARE, BRAINWAVES and FEVER CELL.

Leonard Goldberg's novels have been selections of the Book of the Month Club, French and Czech book clubs, and The Mystery Guild.

The series has been optioned on several occasions for development as a motion picture or television project.

Book: A Scandalous Affair: A Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mystery

In the latest Daughter of Sherlock Holmes novel, Joanna Holmes must confront a shocking case of blackmail that threatens the highest levels of His Majesty’s government, as this USA Today bestselling mystery series continues.

In the latest installment of this acclaimed series, Sherlock Holmes’s daughter faces an elaborate mystery that threatens the second most powerful man in His Majesty’s government. His position is such that he answers only to the king and the prime minister.

In 1918, during the height of the Great War, Joanna Holmes and the Watsons receive a late-night, clandestine visit from Sir William Radcliffe, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who brings with him an agonizing tale of blackmail; a case so sensitive that it can only be spoken of in the confines of 221B Baker Street.

Sir William's family has been forced to pay exorbitant sums for several of the photographs, but even more salacious pictures remain in the blackmailer’s possession—and will no doubt carry greater demands and threats. Scotland Yard cannot be involved, for fear of public disclosure. It thus falls on the shoulders of Joanna and the Watsons to expose the blackmailer and procure the photographs before irreparable harm comes to the chancellor and his family.

I am a historical fiction writer focusing on myths set in Bronze Age Greece. I earned my B.A. in Ancient Civilizations with a minor in Classical Languages from the University of Iowa. My concentration was on Greek and Roman art, religion, history, and languages. My debut novel, The Death and Life of Iphigenia, was short-listed for the 2024 Novel London Literary Prize and was published in 2025.

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF IPHIGENIA

SONGS AND LIES, BOOK 1 - Iphigenia’s true story lies beneath the songs of the bards and the whispers of Muses

As Greek warriors prepare for the Trojan War, Mycenaean princess Iphigenia is forced to endure the demands of angry gods and desperate kings. Separated from her mother and sister, exiled to an oppressive foreign land, she is bound by sacred duty to perform grim rituals that stain her hands and haunt her dreams.

Finally, after fourteen long years, she discovers an opportunity to escape and must decide if her longed-for home and stolen life are still worth fighting for.

This is a tale of survival, identity, and the eternal quest for belonging.

]]> Episode 549 - J Susanne Wilson - Ancient Civilizations, Greek Myth Retelling, Trojan War

I am a historical fiction writer focusing on myths set in Bronze Age Greece. I earned my B.A. in Ancient Civilizations with a minor in Classical Languages from the University of Iowa. My concentration was on Greek and Roman art, religion, history, and languages. My debut novel, The Death and Life of Iphigenia, was short-listed for the 2024 Novel London Literary Prize and was published in 2025.

It all started when Dick and Sue Weinland hooked up at an apartment complex in Houston, Texas. Four years later, after things had gotten quite cozy, I was born just a few short miles from the Eighth Wonder of the World, a.k.a. – the Astrodome. 


I blossomed into womanhood north of H-Town, in Spring, Texas, where I attended Klein Oak High School. From there, it was on to the Princeton of the Texas Panhandle – THE Texas Tech University – and just five glorious years later, a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. 


That's when it became time for me to not only enter the world of business (I was in the purchasing arena for a decade) but to do my own hooking up and child creating. The plot twist that brings us to the rest of the story was my husband’s job moving us to England for three years. Finding myself temporarily without employment, I did the next obvious thing and became a writer.

With 40 years of experience in advertising and branding, Jim is a leading expert on corporate brand management and is credited with developing strategies for measuring the power of brands and their impact on a corporation’s financial performance. Most notable of the tools that Jim has developed is the CoreBrand Index (CBI), a quantitative research vehicle that continuously tracks the reputation and financial performance of over 800 publicly traded companies across 50 industries. Tenet Partners uses the CBI to help clients recognize how their brands compare with industry peers and how communications can impact corporate reputation and financial performance, which includes stock price and revenue growth.

Dr. Gregory is a frequent speaker on the financial benefits of communications and brand management. Recent speaking engagements include The Conference Board, the Association of National Advertisers, and the National Investor Relations Institute.

One of the key secrets to my success was my passion for writing. Over the next four decades, I wrote a series of business books that helped build not only our business brand but also my personal reputation. Some of the titles I crafted include “Marketing Corporate Image,” “Leveraging the Corporate Brand,” “Branding Across Borders,” “The Best of Branding,” and “Powerhouse, the Secrets of Corporate Branding.”

After successfully exiting the business, I embarked on a new journey – writing fiction. I quickly discovered that my favorite genre was short reads in the form of novellas. Drawing upon my extensive business experiences, personal life, and current events, I craft stories that can be enjoyed in just one sitting, whether it’s an evening at home or a cross-country flight.

About the author

Andrew Goldsmith grew up in Los Angeles, California. In 2004, he joined the US Army infantry where he served as a machine gunner, team leader, and squad leader during nearly five years of service. Andrew deployed to Iraq twice, in 2006 and 2008, and graduated US Army Ranger School in 2008.

After leaving the Army in 2009, Andrew studied philosophy at the University of Hawaii. In 2011, he self-published his war-time memoirs, Zarqawi’s Ice Cream: Tales of Mediocre Infantrymen. Later, he would go onto to earn his law degree from the Pepperdine School of Law and passed the California Bar Exam in 2016.

Andrew has studied abroad in Spain and Uganda and adventured in many parts of the world including Iraq, Qatar, China, Mexico, and Western and Central Europe. He has spent time in almost every state in the United States, including touring the country by van, twice, and skateboarding down the entire coast of California in 2013.

Presently, Andrew is a practicing attorney, small businessman, and author. He enjoys skateboarding long distances, spending time with his family, and has a black belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu.

Book: The Mediocre Infantryman's Guide to Ranger School (Modern Military Memoirs)

What do you do when you show up to Ranger School clueless, alone, and completely unprepared for the pain and suffering ahead? How are you going to survive one of the world’s toughest military courses, earn the coveted Ranger Tab, and come home in one piece?

Corporal Andrew Goldsmith isn’t a super soldier—he’s your average infantryman, and by his own admission, a pretty mediocre one at that. Yet through a twist of fate and dumb luck, he finds himself thrown into an ordeal designed to break even the most elite warriors. Severely sleep-deprived, perpetually starving, limping through injuries, and tormented by both the elements and the infamous Ranger Instructors, Goldsmith quickly realizes that surviving Ranger School will be the greatest battle of his life.

The journey isn’t always glamorous. There are no heroic montages, few dramatic triumphs— just the toilsome life of a ranger, and a lot of questionable decisions made under duress. With his comrades dropping like flies and his mental state teetering on the edge, Goldsmith has to dig deep to find a way through the madness, summoning the strength to endure a course so brutal that many describe it as worse than combat itself.

In 'A Mediocre Infantryman’s Guide to Ranger School,' Goldsmith shares his brutally honest, darkly funny, and surprisingly relatable account of his journey through one of the most notorious rites of passage in the U.S. Army. Part survival guide, part cautionary tale, this book isn’t just for aspiring Rangers—it’s for anyone who’s ever faced down a seemingly insurmountable challenge and wondered, “Can I really do this?”

Fulton Books author Kymberly Kaslar, who resides in Northern California, where she enjoys car events, traveling, reading, and spending time with her friends and her two cats, Bastet and Bishop, has completed her most recent book, “Faith Heal Love”: a stirring tale that centers around one woman’s expedition to Ireland, Italy, and Sweden in order to find the spiritual and emotional healing she requires after suffering at the hands of an abuser, then a cheating husband and losing everything precious to her in the world.

Originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, author Kymberly Kaslar has called Northern California home for thirty-two years. She has been a civil servant to the state of California for over twenty-five years, but writing has always been her passion. She hopes her stories of surviving grief and abuse would help others find faith in God and in themselves. She has always been a car enthusiast, thanks to her mom and her love of Ford and Italian cars. After her mother’s passing in 2012, she formed Dreams and Drivers Inc. to incorporate her love of cars around bringing awareness to pancreatic cancer with monthly car and coffee events and car shows.

“How many times can a person survive having the rug jerked out from under themselves?” writes Kaslar. “Teagan became a widow at thirty-five, then became the victim of an abusive sociopathic manipulator who destroyed the young widow physically, emotionally, and financially. After years of abuse, she is finally free of Alex and is happily married and enjoying life and upcoming retirement with Jake. Then like a bad dream, Teagan gets her world turned upside down for the third time.

“In a fifteen-year span, she loses her husband, gets involved with a serial abuser, loses a child, loses her mother to pancreatic cancer, gets married, and then he turns out to be a lying, cheating, lazy narcissist!

“How could God let this happen to her? What signs did she miss? How the hell could this happen again?

“Realizing that God removed Jake at the right time and protected her, she took a different ‘healing’ approach. With the coaxing of her newly divorced friend Valo who had returned to Sweden, she decided to make this forced new chapter about having the faith to take care of herself by any means possible and lean into her faith for more guidance so she could heal and check her baggage, let go of all the past, and find the blessings that these tribulations have given her. Teagan realized that regardless of the pain and suffering, she was alive and needed to learn how to enjoy life. First up, she embarked on a divorce vacation to Ireland, Italy, and Sweden. Lastly, Teagan hoped to learn to love again and be loved.”

Published by Fulton Books, Kymberly Kaslar’s book is a poignant story filled with painful, gut-wrenching lessons, loss, tears, self-reflection, healing, forgiveness, romance, and finding real love. Candid and emotionally stirring, Kaslar shares her story with the hope of helping survivors of grief and abuse find faith in God and in themselves once more.

His barreling plot lines, unexpected twists, and mind-melting conclusions aim to leave his readers high, but most definitely not dry. His sophomore novel, Thievery and Grace, is now available. 

Thievery and Grace: An Absurd Heist Comedy - An unlikely trio unites to swindle millions from a powerful pharmaceutical corporation by orchestrating a fraudulent sexual harassment case.

Wedding Bandits: A Pulp Dark Comedy - A team of con artists travel the country, marrying rich, unsought women, only to clean them out on their wedding night. The only problem is their last mark's father happens to be a secret underworld kingpin now bent on avenging his homely daughter's broken heart.

The untold stories of forced exile, through the eyes of those who lived it.


Book: We Said Farewell: stories of forced exile - In We Said Farewell, Amanda Quintero Aguerrevere masterfully fictionalizes five testimonies rooted in her native Venezuela, capturing the emotional journey of a generation forced to leave their homeland. From families navigating economic crises to young people evading the grip of political turmoil, each story uncovers the reality of the Venezuelan diaspora, where resilience, identity, and survival are constants against overwhelming odds.

These narratives bring to life the intimate struggles of individuals facing the unknown—leaving behind loved ones, cherished places, and familiar routines. With a focus on the human cost of policy decisions and societal breakdown, We Said Farewell reveals how Venezuela’s upheavals continue to shape lives beyond its borders.

For readers of historical fiction, political drama, and immigration stories, this collection offers a deeply personal look into modern migration and the enduring strength of the human spirit. It is both a tribute and a testament to those who carry their homeland within, even when they must start anew.

I think about imagination and creativity and its place in our fast-paced world. For me, writing is a way of slowing down. The cadence and layers in both fiction and poetry are something to savor—and I do—rereading books by my favorite authors and new authors I discover again and again. The words stay with me long after I've turned the last page. These poems and stories bring a deeper meaning to my daily life.

I can't remember a time when I didn't use writing to make sense of the world. The best writing reveals an emotional truth--different from the literal truth. As I tell my students, you owe nothing to reality. The best writing feels authentic even if it takes us to imaginary towns or leaps into a future we cannot know.

I am the author of the novel, The Shape of What Remains (Between the Lines Publishing/Liminal Press, 2025), two collections of short fiction, Impossibly Small Spaces (Arlen House/Syracuse University Press, 2018) and Growing a New Tail (Arlen House/Syracuse University Press, 2015). I also have five published collections of poetry including Interrogation of Morning (Arlen House/Syracuse University Press, 2022) and the collaborative collection with Irish poet and writer Geraldine Mills, The Other Side of Longing (Arlen House/Syracuse University Press, 2011).

Check my schedule on the Events page for a reading near you or contact me if you'd like to bring me to your hometown. Buy books (particularly from independent booksellers) and bring them as gifts next time you're invited to dine at someone's house. They last longer than a bottle of wine and you'll be one of the many heroes supporting small presses that often struggle to survive. You'll also be introducing writers to your friends.

Cover reveal for Lisa's new novel The Shape of What Remains, a story about the choices one woman makes as she begins to heal from intractable grief.

Pre-order is available now at Maria's Bookshop - Durango CO and Amazon.com. The book will be available February 18, 2025.

About the author

Tony Stewart has made award-winning films for colleges and universities, written software that received rave reviews in The New York Times and the New York Daily News, designed a grants-management application that was used by three of the five largest charities in the world, and led the development of an international standard for the messages involved in buying and selling advertisements, for which he spoke at conferences across Europe and North America. 

Tony and his late wife Lynn Kotula, a painter, traveled extensively in India and Southeast Asia, staying in small hotels off the beaten track and eating delicious food with their fingers when cutlery wasn’t available. Carrying the Tiger is his first published book.

An inspiring story of love, loss and recovery

“[A] beautifully devastating memoir… a remarkable odyssey of learning to ‘live fully in the shadow of death.’” — Publishers Weekly BookLife (Editor’s Pick)

In the spirit of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking and Paul Kalanithi’s When Breath Becomes Air comes Carrying the Tiger, a life affirming memoir about the full circle of life and death.

When Tony Stewart’s wife, Lynn, receives a sudden and devastating diagnosis, they scramble to find effective treatment, navigate life threatening setbacks, learn to live fully in the shadow of death, and share the intimate grace of her departure from this world. Then Tony slowly climbs out of shattering grief and, surprisingly, eases toward new love.

There is uncertainty, fear, and sorrow, but also tenderness and joy, along with a renewed perspective on what it means to live and love with one’s whole heart.

“Captures emotions and experiences that will be familiar to anyone who’s stood by a loved one facing a cancer diagnosis... this is a work that will strengthen all who read it.” — Khalid Dar, MD, Oncologist, Mount Sinai Morningside

“A beautiful and very human love story which breathes an extraordinary generosity of spirit.” — David Newman, author of Talking with Doctors

Robby the taxi has dyslexia, but he doesn’t let that stand in the way of doing a great job driving riders all around the city. Even though he can’t read the street signs, he has a wonderful memory and knows the streets by heart. One day, a regular customer asks him to go somewhere he’s never been… the airport! But Robby has solved problems like this before, and he finds his way to the airport using his unique outlook and creative skills.

This delightful tale was co-written by Lynn Greenberg and her son Jonathan, who also illustrated the book. Jonathan was born with dyslexia, and with the help of Lynn, learned to overcome his learning differences through creativity and art. By sharing Robby the Dyslexic Taxi with your little one, you’ll start them on their journey to learning how to solve their problems as well, whether they have dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or just need a boost in the direction of finding creative solutions for interesting, unexpected, and difficult problems.

Jonathan Greenberg
Author and Illustrator

Jonathan Greenberg was diagnosed with dyslexia as a young child.  While he always knew that he learned differently than others, he did not let it personify who he was.  Like most kids, Jonathan had a bookshelf full of books, however since he couldn’t read them at first, he became captivated with the artwork and illustrations of every one of them.  Jonathan worked hard and overcame his disability, however, his love for art developed into his own passion. 

Jonathan is currently a graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago so teaming up with his mother, an advocate for neurodiverse children, to co-author and illustrate a children’s book was a natural evolution.

Jonathan looks forward to continuing to create and illustrate stories with neurodiverse characters while also expanding his own artistic endeavors through other mediums. 

To learn more about Jonathan and his work, visit Creationaire Arts.

Lynn Greenberg
Author

Lynn Greenberg has focused her life on being a champion for children. As a trained Attorney, Lynn spent her time in the legal world practicing family law, providing pro bono work for kids, and advocating on their behalf. 

When her youngest son Jonathan was diagnosed with Dyslexia, becoming his advocate, as well as others, came easy. Understanding how to gather facts and create strategic plans, Lynn developed a road map to success for her son and has since become an active supporter of all neurodivergent children. 

Writing a children’s book with Jonathan was simply the natural progression for Lynn. Robby the Dyslexic Taxi and the Airport Adventure was born out of Lynn’s desire for neurodivergent children to be able to see themselves in characters in a storyline. Lynn plans to continue creating stories relatable for all children.

Canadian Author, Peter Gribble has written for NUVO and other magazines in British Columbia.

For over ten years he wrote a monthly gardening column for a local Vancouver paper.

The City of the Magicians is his first published series.

I wondered how a pacifist, non-violent city-state could effectively prepare for a barbarian invasion while keeping their integrity intact. The City Council comes up with a decent solution plus a way of delivering it but as usual with good ideas they can hit unexpected snags.

Then there were the images hanging about in my head patiently waiting for me to write towards them. When they are ready (or I am) they pop onto the page as if readymade. It’s not writing; more like taking dictation. One of these images haunted me for years until it finally found its place in the third book of the series: In the midst of a fire, an unknown book’s flyleaf is blown smoking into your grasp. On it is a dedication inscribed to someone you know.

It’s not writing; more like taking dictation. One of these images haunted me for years until it finally found its place in the third book of the series: In the midst of a fire, an unknown book’s flyleaf is blown smoking into your grasp. On it is a dedication inscribed to someone you know.

Author Corinna Dunn joins host Dave on Living The Next Chapter to share her powerful memoir, Note to Self: Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath. Living in Virginia with her husband and four teenagers, Corinna also hosts the Melanin Wellness Podcast, a platform dedicated to Black women's wellness that resonates across diverse audiences. She opens up about transforming personal pain into purpose through writing, treating her book like a pregnancy, complete with the doubts of the first trimester, the creative flow of the second, and the daunting final push toward publication.


Corinna describes the emotional challenge of discussing her trauma-filled story with her protective sons and husband, who remain unable to read the book despite purchasing it and her accompanying journal prompting cards as a show of support. Her youngest daughter, however, found it beautiful and affirming of her mother's strength. Reflecting on her unhealed family members, Corinna emphasizes understanding their perspectives without excusing the past, recognizing how unprocessed trauma often cycles through generations. Pre-healing, she lived in constant anger, frying bacon or folding laundry with simmering rage, until therapy unlocked grief and growth.


Her husband witnessed her evolution from an angry protector, shaped by childhood neglect, to a blossoming, inspiring force. As a mother determined to overcompensate for her own lacks, Corinna raised children who instinctively ask, "What would Mom think?" before acting, a testament to her nurturing success. Therapy prevented her from becoming overprotective, especially with her two autistic children, teaching her to let them navigate the world while fostering decision-making skills through pros-and-cons discussions.


The book serves as a conversational guide for healing, blending journaling, meditation, yoga, prayer, therapy, and hobbies to dismantle shame. Corinna urges survivors to show themselves compassion, unpack events with professional help to uncover protected memories, and reject blame, especially from family insiders who perpetrated or enabled harm. Feedback has been empowering, with readers appreciating the path to thriving she illuminates.


Key Takeaway: You hold the strength to heal from trauma and claim the rich life you deserve. Start with one step, like journaling or therapy, knowing a vibrant future awaits on the other side.

Hi everyone,

I’m a new author, and I’m excited to share my latest book, Breaking: Understanding the Loss of a Partner. This book is deeply personal—it reflects my journey as a widow and was written in the wake of my spouse’s passing. My hope is that it brings comfort and understanding to others navigating this profound loss.

I released my first book, The Healing Letter, in 2023, but it didn’t gain much traction. Still, I believe in the power of writing to heal, and I’m hopeful that Breaking will reach those who need it most.

If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, I’d love for you to check out my books:

Raised in small-town Connecticut, educated in public schools, then Harvard and Temple Universities, I’ve had a mixed metaphor of a career. I’ve been a (happy) fish out of water: a doctoral student in psychology with an undergraduate history degree; a psychologist in pediatric medicine; a clinician among academic scholars; a social scientist working with English professors, engineers, and philosophers; a writer teaching medical students. 

But I promised a mixed metaphor. My life is also an improvised, patchwork quilt of pieces gathered from sojourns in Costa Rica, Israel, Gambia, Provence, Ecuador, and the best, continuous journey of all--being a mom. Now, I teach writing workshops on Cape Cod and in Philadelphia. I’m a haphazard birder and a passionate observer of butterflies, unspoiled habitats, and turtles. Hiking, family, books, close friends, religious observance and secular ritual, music and dance: all lend my quilt color and sublime, if elusive patterns. And I’m still working on it, with clumsy stitches that depict me starting to learn the piano, and along the rough edge, a new design for my next book.

In Milkweed and Honey Cake: A Memoir in Ritual Moments, Wendy A. Horwitz shares stories about celebration, loss, change, and the best way to open a pomegranate.

Holidays delight – and disappoint. A couple marrying in the pandemic finds a surprise after a rainstorm, and a topsy-turvy search for a gravestone honors her ancestors. When a graduation is cancelled, Horwitz serves pomp and circumstance on the front porch, and through the shifting seasons of a life, amid the scramble of pet guinea pigs and birthday parties, her children add wonder and comedy to tradition.

With observations from nature, religion, and literature, Horwitz explores how ritual can exalt ordinary moments and frame the extraordinary. A blue heron, an old cupboard's scent, and the lingering feel of an engagement ring long gone prompt reflections laced with yearning and humor. Guiding us along a wooded path, to the kitchen table, in a messy garden, and under a tent reverberating with song, she traces the boundaries of ritual, considering what we do when ritual falls short, and how we might adapt each other's practices. And when the wider world seems broken, new rituals provide hope.

Lyrical and funny, thought-provoking and deeply moving, Milkweed and Honey Cake is at once a meditation on our desire for meaning and the story of a woman's lifelong efforts to create it

About the Author

Karen Essex is the author of Kleopatra, Pharaoh, Stealing Athena, Dracula in Love, and the international bestseller Leonardo’s Swans, which won Italy’s prestigious 2007 Premio Roma for foreign fiction. An award-winning journalist and a screenwriter, she lives in Los Angeles, California.  

Here’s a bit more about my novels:

KLEOPATRA: The Early Years, tells the little-known story of the princess’s harrowing
rise to the throne, surviving her murderous family members, exile, war, riots in the
streets of Alexandria. If you think your family has problems…at least they’re probably
not trying to kill you!


“Keenly researched and brimming with exotic, erotic detail, Essex’s style is as seductive
as her subject.”
— Dallas Morning News


PHARAOH: Book II of Kleopatra begins when twenty year-old Kleopatra meets Julius
Caesar and takes the reader on her fascinating journey partnering with him and another
powerful Roman, Mark Antony. But rather than concentrate on mere romance, the novel
also explores Kleopatra’s extraordinary political acumen, diplomacy skills, and foresight.

“This stunning sequel to Kleopatra completes the story. Readers will enjoy the vivid
portrayal of Kleopatra and the period in which she lived.”
— Library Journal


LEONARDO’S SWANS puts Leonardo da Vinci’s rivalrous female muses at its core,
aristocratic women who shaped the art and politics of the Italian Renaissance. The novel
was a runaway bestseller in Italy and won the prestigious Premio Roma for foreign
fiction.

“Essex combines art, political intrigue, family feuds and sex to create a page-turner.” —
USA Today​


STEALING ATHENA is a sweeping historical saga from the perspectives of two
fascinating women, Aspasia, philosopher and mistress to Pericles, and Countess Mary
Elgin, who twenty-three hundred years later saw the demise of Pericles’s great Athenian
monuments.

“Stealing Athena firmly entrenches Karen Essex as one of the top historical novel writers
of our time.”
— Bookreporter.com


DRACULA IN LOVE, born from my love of fellow New Orleanian Anne Rice’s work and a
childhood fascination with reruns of DARK SHADOWS, retells Bram Stoker’s classic tale
from the perspective of the vampire’s obsession, Mina Harker, who surprises readers
with her own supernatural lineage.

“Brilliant. Sweeping. Breath-taking. Essex’s journey into the social expectations of Victorian women through the telling of the Dracula story is genius.” —Book Banter

“An intensely erotic story of romance and obsession. . . . Lusciously sexy and
outrageously chilling by turns.” – Newark Star-Ledger

Samantha Rose is an Emmy award-winning television writer and a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who specializes in literary support and book collaboration with celebrities, experts and industry leaders. Her narrative, non-fiction projects fall under the categories of health & wellness, spirituality, personal growth, how-to, business, parenting and memoir, including titles that have been translated into more than 20 foreign languages, featured in the Wall Street Journal, Harper's Bazaar, Time and selected as Reese's Book Club and Target Bookmarked picks. Samantha is the principal of literary development and the head of client relations for Yellow Sky Media, her company in Petaluma, California.

On an ordinary Wednesday I received the call every writer wants to get. It was from a New York literary agent who’d been following my blog. She said, “I think you have a book here. I wonder though--could you go a little bit deeper? Keep the humor, but also tell your story with more vulnerability?”

More vulnerability? I cringed.

I’d already made my personal life very public. Putting myself even further out there felt scary. It also felt daring.

I csn say now that writing The Package Deal: My (not-so) Glamorous Transition from Single Gal to Instant Mom was one of the most challenging and liberating experiences of my life.

I told my story as honestly and authentically as I could. I extended myself beyond what was comfortable in an effort to help other women like me feel a little more normal and less alone

Redbook called it a “refreshingly honest memoir.” Library Journal praised it as “clear-eyed,” “candid and optimistic.” Fellow stepmothers cheered me as "heartfelt" and "hilarious."

I learned that readers respond well to honest storytelling and to storytellers who dare to be seen and heard. By telling my truth, I was giving others permission to tell theirs. 

Since The Package Deal published in 2009 (Penguin Random House) and premiered on the San Francisco Chronicle bestseller list and as a Target club pick, I’ve been giving voice to and empowering others who have a story to tell.  I’ve collaborated with celebrities, experts, entrepreneurs and all sorts of amazing individuals who  need that first shot of courage and clear guidance forward, to help striking the right tone, organizing ideas into chapters, and building your book― word to word― from beginning to end. 

Translating your voice and singular story onto the page is what I'm trained to do, and I'm uplifted, instructed, and both challenged and inspired by your one and only perspective. 

So tell me: what's your story? What have you always wanted to share with the world? Together we can manifest the book inside you waiting to be written.

Redbook called it a “refreshingly honest memoir.” Library Journal praised it as “clear-eyed,” “candid and optimistic.” Fellow stepmothers cheered me as "heartfelt" and "hilarious."

I learned that readers respond well to honest storytelling and to storytellers who dare to be seen and heard. By telling my truth, I was giving others permission to tell theirs. 

Since The Package Deal published in 2009 (Penguin Random House) and premiered on the San Francisco Chronicle bestseller list and as a Target club pick, I’ve been giving voice to and empowering others who have a story to tell.  I’ve collaborated with celebrities, experts, entrepreneurs and all sorts of amazing individuals who  need that first shot of courage and clear guidance forward, to help striking the right tone, organizing ideas into chapters, and building your book― word to word― from beginning to end. 

Translating your voice and singular story onto the page is what I'm trained to do, and I'm uplifted, instructed, and both challenged and inspired by your one and only perspective. 

So tell me: what's your story? What have you always wanted to share with the world? Together we can manifest the book inside you waiting to be written.

Why I write fiction

Like many authors, I began writing stories from a young age. I was lucky to pursue a career in travel writing from the mid-1990s to the mid-2010s, both online and in print. Those assignments literally and figuratively opened the world to me, but it wasn't until the Covid19 pandemic that I began to take fiction writing seriously.

Oddly enough, having to stay at home for a prolonged period sparked some creative juices to flow.  I devoured online instruction about the business of self-publishing. 

Now that I have four novels published

  I can't see a return to non-fiction writing. 

(But never say never, eh?)

My "author brand"

If you had asked me what an author brand is before I self-published Unconventional Daughters in 2020, 

I probably would not have known the answer. 

While 'Daughters' and the interlinked two follow-up novels, Uncommon Sons and Undeniable Relations, are technically historical fiction,

  I'd rather not be pigeon-holed as only that kind of author.  

My newest work, Grow up, Rory Rafferty  is set in Toronto in 1979, rendering it contemporary adult fiction. 

It won't be considered 'historical fiction' until 2029... 

but the story most definitely involves a vintage, pre-Internet era.

...and what that brand truly is

I want to give a voice to characters who are often left out in mainstream storytelling.  Some may be loosely based on people I've met or known in my sixty-plus years on earth; 

others are entirely figments of my imagination.

I'm comfortable in researching the backgrounds of characters who might not be White, male, or gay - characters unlike me who I feel should be given a role in historic or contemporary fiction. 

I always use sensitivity readers from that minority group to ensure I'm telling the truth. 

The service industry jobs I had as a young man - from being a short-order cook to waiting on tables - were of great value. They were opportunities to be a silent witness and observer. 

For example, I've seen or experienced bullies, rich and poor, 

from all corners of the earth. 

I don't want those characters to have the last word.

The writer doesn't forget these experiences and people; 

they inhabit his or her fiction.

We are all individuals with personal life experiences that shape and mold us in both constructive and challenging ways. It is necessary to integrate and metabolize the emotional, psychological, spiritual and physical components of our total life experience in order to expand and deepen our consciousness.  In this way, we move  towards a mature, comprehensive and stable personality, capable of experiencing the full human emotional continuum of  joy, elation, love and relationship as well as the challenges of pain and sadness inherent in every person's life.

As an experienced Psychotherapist, I approach all life issues from a perspective that seeks to illuminate these fundamental aspects of our human structure that comprise the spirit of every individual.

Optimism, faith in oneself and universal creativity, positive psychology and transformative emotional experience are vital to a rewarding and uplifting life journey.   This is the one true path to healing.

About the author

After majoring in marketing at Bentley University, Richard spent a career as a copywriter and creative director serving such clients as Red Lobster, Ducati Motorcycles, Marriott Hotels, and Clorox. He also brought his writing skills to bear for communications agencies that serve nonprofit organizations, including American Red Cross, Wounded Warrior Project, Toys for Tots, CARE, Special Olympics and many others. And he was a frequent editorial contributor to Fundraising Success Magazine.

In 2000, he helped launch acclaimed author Stephen King’s internet publishing debut and the world’s first mass- marketed e-book, Riding the Bullet. Richard wrote the online ad campaign that prompted more than 400,000 people to purchase and download the novella.

His screenplay, Graven Image, placed in the top twenty percent of the Academy of Motion Pictures’ Nicholl Fellowships international screenwriting competition in 2014.

Richard is also an accomplished fine art painter. Over the past thirty years, he has exhibited work in numerous solo and group shows. His work was represented by two commercial art galleries in his native Boston and is now represented by a gallery in Chicago, where he currently resides.

Richard and his wife have four adult children and two grandchildren.

Book: Light's Out

A retired couple are murdered in their Wisconsin home - art and other valuables are stolen. A Lake Michigan oil tanker explodes and sinks that same night.

Eve Taunt - special forces veteran, CIA officer, and leader of Boston's Homeland Security team - believes there is a connection between these two events.

She and her team quickly find themselves in pursuit of a domestic terrorist - an M.I.T. educated, military trained missile genius with Ted Bundy-like psychopathy - to stop him before he carries out his next devastating attack. This one is even more lethal than the overhwelming inferno he just unleashed on Boston.

As Eve closes in, she discovers these attacks are orchestrated by a US senator and a powerful cabal of highly placed leaders and lawmakers with a hidden agenda.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Paul Vecchiet was born in Trieste, Italy and came to the United States with his parents at the age of three. He’s lived most of his life in Chicago suburbs. He graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in architecture design. Soon after, he joined the Air Force to be a Civil Engineering officer where he had an experience that caused him to be cynical of conventional wisdom. After thirteen years, he left the service and practiced architecture in Illinois. He is currently employed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Paul lives with his wife, Janice, and their grandson, Lennon in rural West Virginia, where they can see a canopy of stars at night.

“Though presented in fictional form, anyone familiar with various anomalous phenomena will recognize the fact-based narratives depicted in The Disclosure Paradox. Thought-provoking, even those with deep involvement in those fields will find themselves questioning where reality stops, and fantasy begins. Or does it? Many of the names are recognizable and the narrative extremely well interwoven. The physical and spiritual are merged into Louis Silvani’s life mission to understand a complex and rewarding destiny.”

John B. Alexander
PhD

“A fascinating tale about a secret world that we only glimpse dimly through the eyes of a dedicated and obsessive group who give up everything to find the truth and stop a hideous plot to control our destiny. A beguiling blend of horror, science fiction, and riveting action, with realistic characters and plot twists that will leave you breathless. Highly recommended.”

Frank E. Lee

“I loved this book! It starts out with Louis on his tedious UFO lecture circuit, easing you into ET culture slowly like getting into a nice warm bath. But before you know it, our unexpected hero is on a cross-country mind-expanding adventure of a lifetime. It is a wild ride! The characters are rich and believable. The ET subject matter is accurately portrayed. In the end Louis finds his roots, and I am left wondering what I can do to improve humanity!”

Julie Strong is a soon-to-be-retired family physician in Halifax, Nova Scotia; she has an ongoing shamanic practice where she addresses the spiritual causes of illness. 

Julie was born in Manchester, England, grew up in Wales, Australia, and Ireland, and emigrated to Canada in 1980. Her medical degree is from Trinity College, Dublin University, Ireland, and she holds a BA in Classics from Dalhousie University, Halifax. Her shamanism training is from the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in Marin County, California. 

Dr. Strong has given presentations in Canada, the US, and Europe on the subject of insanity in ancient Greek literature. She presented a three-part series on Greek mythology at Halifax Central Library in spring 2018 and also “Finding Comfort in Difficult Times,” an overview of shamanism, in fall 2021. She is a lecturer with the Senior College Association of Nova Scotia (SCANS) and delivered a six-week course, The Goddess in Antiquity, in spring 2024, which emphasized humanity’s need to reconnect with Nature and the Divine Feminine. 

Book: The Tudor Prophecy

England, 1541. An ailing Henry VIII reigns from a contested throne. In parallel story lines, The Tudor Prophecy follows two young women, Lady Alice Grantmire and Hester Vaughan, cousins who each suffer greatly from the King's unjust decrees. Lady Alice and her mother are evicted from their estate and take residence in a cottage where they earn a subsistence selling herbal remedies--until they are accused of witchcraft. After being molested by the King, Hester is summoned to her estranged father's home in Wales. There she becomes betrothed to a Welsh bard whose mentor has visions foretelling the ascendancy of Henry's second daughter, Elizabeth. When Hester encounters the eight-year-old Lady Elizabeth, the two forge a relationship whereby Hester can persuade the future queen to temper her own rule with mercy. This epic, literary tale—a Game of Thrones meets Little Women—is also for readers who loved the Wolf Hall trilogy by Booker-Prize winner Hilary Mantel

With over two (2) decades of experiences in the field of communication [interpersonal and intrapersonal], I have dedicated my journey to fostering meaningful connections and driving positive change through effective dialogue. My expertise spans various industries, from finance to technology, where I have honed my skills in empowering individuals and organizations to communicate with impact and with long lasting impression.

Having worked as a Personal Banker at Bank of America, I quickly rose to prominence by delivering exceptional customer service, conducting insightful account analysis, and consistently referring clients to tailored services. My dedication led to a promotion within just six months, a testament to my commitment to excellence.

In my role at Expedia as a Database Management professional, I undertook the complex responsibility of overseeing the company's database for over 30 applications used by employees across the globe. This experience sharpened my ability to handle intricate data structures, ensuring seamless access and optimal performance for diverse teams.

My time in the United States Navy as an Automated Data Processing (ADP) specialist added a unique layer to my skill set. Managing a squadron database of 2,200 sailors and spearheading a complete database restructuring project, I was recognized for my meticulous work and commitment to efficiency.

As a Communication major at the University of Washington, I further cultivated my passion for effective communication strategies, deepening my understanding of human interaction and behavior. This academic foundation provided me with a strong theoretical grounding that I have translated into practical success in various professional contexts.

My achievements reflect my dedication to facilitating meaningful conversations, empowering personal growth, and fostering collaborative relationships. With a proven track record of creating impact and driving change, I am committed to helping individuals and organizations unlock their potential through the power of communication.

My dedication led to a promotion within just six months, a testament to my commitment to excellence.

In my role at Expedia as a Database Management professional, I undertook the complex responsibility of overseeing the company's database for over 30 applications used by employees across the globe. This experience sharpened my ability to handle intricate data structures, ensuring seamless access and optimal performance for diverse teams.

My time in the United States Navy as an Automated Data Processing (ADP) specialist added a unique layer to my skill set. Managing a squadron database of 2,200 sailors and spearheading a complete database restructuring project, I was recognized for my meticulous work and commitment to efficiency.

As a Communication major at the University of Washington, I further cultivated my passion for effective communication strategies, deepening my understanding of human interaction and behavior. This academic foundation provided me with a strong theoretical grounding that I have translated into practical success in various professional contexts.

My achievements reflect my dedication to facilitating meaningful conversations, empowering personal growth, and fostering collaborative relationships. With a proven track record of creating impact and driving change, I am committed to helping individuals and organizations unlock their potential through the power of communication.

Book: Digital Soul is a collection of three short stories bookended by two novellas that seeks to examine humanity's rapidly changing relationship with technology and the hidden dangers and costs associated with technological evolution. The opening novella is set in the recent past, and the successive stories move forward in time and are set in the present, near future, far future, and very far future.

In Raven, the first novella, a high school senior has lost his faith and struggles to find his new spiritual identity. He becomes instantly drawn to a new classmate, only to discover that she may not actually exist. She leads him to an abandoned house, the site of a terrible tragedy, which may also serve as a key to another world. But is the higher power that world represents good or evil?

In Missing Links, a video from a college party spread without a girl's consent has dire consequences for both the victim and the group of friends responsible.

In White Knight, two game developers explore their nearly completed virtual world. However, some of the game's characters are behaving erratically and seem to have developed consciousness, leading to a schism between the two designers.

In The Broken Man, a game show in the future releases a murderer into the house of unwitting contestants, who must fight to survive. One contestant's forced participation makes him unsure which is more important to him: his love for his spouse, or the fame and glory his victory will bring.

In Genesis, the final novella, a journalist interviews a scientist whose discovery unlocked untapped knowledge about the brain and mental illness. The interview reveals the unforeseen consequences and horrible costs when the initial discovery evolved into a key to immortality.

Carolyn was born in Bridgetown, Nova Scotia, worked in the health information management field, taught in post-secondary education, and was in ministry in The United Church of Canada. After her retirement, she began researching her ancestors; after many years she discovered her Nicolson ancestors were from the Isle of Skye in the Scottish Highlands, and she began to visit Skye with her sisters. Skye, she learned, was always full of fairies, witches, water monsters, ghosts, and other supernatural creatures. As a project for her small writers’ group, she wrote a 1,200-word story about fairies, witches, etc., then decided to play some more with what she had written. In time, this became a larger and larger story. Carolyn decided to take a course offered by the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia on how to write a children’s story. Then, daring to believe the story might be worth publishing, she contacted OC Publishing and the rest, as they say, is history.

Wishes sometimes do come true, and Carolyn's wish would be that this little story might bring happiness and pleasure to children and that they might come to love little Magaidh and her friends and family as much as she does. 

Book: The Last Witch on Skye

The Ban the Witches and Fairies (BW&F) Party has chased all the supernatural creatures out of the Isle of Skye. Only Magaidh, a young witch, remains, hiding in a castle disguised as a cat. But she and the Queen of the Fairies have a plan to rescue the Fairy Flag, allowing the fairies and Magaidh to return to Skye. As Magaidh resumes her business, Spells, Inc., she thinks about getting revenge on the BW&F Party, but the Fairy Queen suggests that peace would be a better plan. While Magaidh considers which it will be, peace or revenge, her business allows her to help the people of Skye with love potions and spells to reverse the troublesome effects of fairy arrows. She and her two fairy friends, Sean and Iain, go on many adventures together, including rescuing a baby Welsh dragon; dealing with Big Blue Donald, a ghost; and befriending a baby water horse they name Calum. In the process, Magaidh finds out why she is different from her siblings, who force her to choose revenge!

Matt Drago is an actor living in Los Angeles. Best known for his role as Fabian in SOMEWHERE IN MONTANA, he has appeared in a variety of other projects including Disney’s Counting Scars viral video, What Would Jesus Do: The Journey Continues, Ridley Scott’s Prophets of Science Fiction, and the popular audio drama podcast No Other Way. 

He also has his own production company, which is currently in development on its first feature film. Outside of performing, Matt enjoys karate (he is a 4th degree black belt) and is an avid sports fan. Matt is represented by HRI Talent, Ignite Talent Management, and is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and Actor’s Equity.

Written and directed by Brandon Smith, “Somewhere in Montana” opens in movie theaters on Jan. 10.

Shot near Glacier National Park, the film captures the natural splendor of Montana and an authenticity that amplifies its storytelling.

“Somewhere in Montana” is a poignant journey that invites audiences to experience resilience, connection and self-discovery, all set against the stunning backdrop of Montana’s landscapes, reads the release.

“Montana isn’t just the backdrop; it’s a vital character in the film, embodying the raw beauty and quiet strength of the principled people within the story,” said director Smith. “It’s a journey that I hope resonates deeply with viewers.”

The film stars Graham McTavish (Outlander, The Hobbit, Aquaman), Michelle Hurd (Star Trek: Picard, Blindspot), and Matt Drago (Just Go With It, The Fix) in a story of two vastly different men who must learn to accept each other’s differences and ways of life. 

Produced and distributed by Nova Vento Entertainment, the big sky country drama will be in select theaters Jan. 10, 2025 and expand to 500 theaters by the end of January.

Montana cattle rancher John Alexander (McTavish), at risk of losing his land, agrees to let a film production use his property for a location shoot. He doesn’t exactly see eye-to-eye with the urban cast and crew, from the risqué storyline to how they handle their props.

The film’s obsessive director, Fabian (Drago), is intent on calling the shots and getting his film made whatever it takes. The two clash but ultimately come to terms with their respective points of view. Alexander decides to trust Fabian, and Fabian now knows he’ll be able to finish his film—until a shocking incident brings production to a complete halt. A devastated Fabian tries to revive the project, but because of the incident no one will touch it.

About the author

Andrew Sillen (B.A. Brooklyn College '74; Ph.D. University of Pennsylvania '81) is a visiting research scholar in the department of anthropology at Rutgers University. He has authored or co-authored over 50 academic and popular articles on archaeology and human evolution. Sillen was formerly Professor of Paleoanthropology and the founding Director of Development at the University of Cape Town; and subsequently Vice President of Institutional Advancement at Brooklyn College. He lives in, and writes from his hometown of Brooklyn, New York.

Book: Kidnapped at Sea: The Civil War Voyage of David Henry White 

The true story of David Henry White, a free Black teenage sailor enslaved on the high seas during the Civil War, whose life story was falsely and intentionally appropriated to advance the Lost Cause trope of a contented slave, happy and safe in servility.

David Henry White, a free Black teenage sailor from Lewes, Delaware, was kidnapped by Captain Raphael Semmes of the Confederate raider Alabama on October 9, 1862, from the Philadelphia-based packet ship Tonawanda. White remained captive on the Alabama for over 600 days, until he drowned during the Battle of Cherbourg on June 19, 1864.

In a best-selling postwar memoir, Semmes falsely described White as a contented slave who remained loyal to the Confederacy. In Kidnapped at Sea, archaeologist Andrew Sillen uses a forensic approach to describe White's enslavement and demise and illustrates how White's actual life belies the Lost Cause narrative his captors sought to construct.

Kidnapped at Sea is the first book to focus on White's actual life, rather than relying on Semmes and other secondary sources. Until now, Semmes's appropriation of White's life has escaped scrutiny, thereby demonstrating the challenges faced by disempowered, illiterate people—and how well-crafted, racist fabrications have become part of Civil War memory.

Dana S. Diaz studied journalism and psychology at DePaul University. While there’s no better teacher than life experience and Dana has had life-long experiences with narcissistic abuse, her education did give her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims.

Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement.

When she isn’t speaking out on narcissistic abuse, Dana can be found listening to music by Eric Hutchinson, Elle King, Green Day, Amy Winehouse, Julia Michaels and Taylor Swift. She equally loves her gray Converse shoes (she wears them every day!) and her Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Dana watches the sun rise and set every single day, and enjoys hikes in the woods. She absolutely loves animals for their sensitivity and loving hearts, and has two cats, Kitty Kitty and Tigger. Dana makes her home in Illinois with her husband Doug.

Solomon - Women's SciFi Fantasy, Liar Queen, Setting Down Past Trauma

About

Born in the American South and raised in the remote wilderness of Alaska, M.T. Solomon has been writing books since she was six years old. At the age of eleven she wrote and hand-stitched the binding to her own story: a riff of Calvin and Hobbes with a female protagonist. She graduated from Portland State University in 2012 with a B.S. in Liberal Studies and a Minor in Writing.

Her work has appeared on the cover of Gotham Writers Class Schedule and has been featured on The Spinning Pen, and Wow! Women on Writing. Solomon’s writing takes cues from her childhood, where the vast setting of Alaska seemed just as much a character in her life story as she did. She favors broken or imperfect characters and utilizes a lyrical, repetitive style within her prose. Her work is heavily influenced by the female authors she grew up loving: Margaret Atwood, Lois Lowry, and Alice Hoffman.

Sara Winokur is a geneticist, researcher, and author. Her historical fiction and cultural thrillers embody elements of DNA and forensic science, as she has a Ph.D. in molecular genetics. Her research helped identify mutations underlying muscular dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease.

In her Nordic noir novel “Double Blind: The Icelandic Manuscript Murders,” a young boy disappears from a fjord in Iceland. Years later, his twin sister Brynja, a DNA scientist, searches for him but lands in a world of trouble. Her second novel, the historical thriller “Ivory Bones: The Lewis Chessmen Murders,” finds Brynja racing against time to find the valuable medieval chess pieces before she herself becomes the target. Sara is a direct descendent of two of the main historical characters: the ruthless Barbary pirate Jans Janszoon and his son Anthony, the largest landowner in 1600s Brooklyn and Coney Island.

As an ovarian cancer thriver, Sara has a sense of gratitude, strength, and perspective that she extends to family, friends, work, and her writing. On her journey from science to writing, she says “Let go of who you are and become what you might be. Do what scares you.” 

A mother of three, Sara Winokur resides with her husband and writes in Southern California. That is, when she is not traveling the world in search of unique stories.

After I turned 50, I decided to live my best life.

I began running and competing in triathlons and shifted from running my P.R. business to becoming a full-time writer and author.

I love helping other people (especially women) over 50 make their second act their best act.

Much of my writing, and my novel, focus on making the rest of your life the best of your life.

Book
My novel, The Cabernet Club, co-authored with my mom, Rona S. Zable, is available from Amazon. The book launched on January 31, 2025.

When Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2023, I made her a promise: that I would get this novel published, with a traditional publisher.

Sibylline Press, which publishes books by women authors over 50, has helped me fulfill that promise, two years after Mom passed away.

I am eager to share the novel’s message of hope, as well as other topics, with in-person and online audiences, locally, nationally, and internationally.

Stacey Sanderson and I'm a Registered Psychotherapist and Holistic Life Coach.

It's my mission to help people heal and release relationship patterns and step into their power. As part of my own healing and recovery process I dove into understanding personality pathology and focused on this and the biopsychosocial roots of this issue.

For the last twenty years I have sought to better understand narcissism from the point of view of trauma, attachment and energy. With many years experience as a therapist, I wanted to create a more heart-centered and holistic approach in my work with clients, integrating trauma and somatic modalities with meditation, mindfulness, expressive arts.

My work is collaborative and intuitively guided. A lot of the time, this work is about empowering empaths! I believe that there is healing in connection and community. My own personal healing from narcissistic family and work systems came full circle when I stepped into my power and full potential - and I know you can do the same!

I live in rural Ontario, Canada where I enjoy being in nature either running, skiing, kayaking or gardening! I have been married for 27 years and have two adult children, our beautiful rescue dog Zoe and two cats. I have a small private psychotherapy practice, and my passion is in leading the Inquire Within relationship recovery community.

Book: Heart Wide Open
A Holistic Guide to Self Recovery from Narcissistic Wounding
by Stacey Sanderson

As a practising psychotherapist, Stacey Sanderson takes a holistic and trauma-based approach to healing in her work with clients who are—or have been—involved in narcissistic relationships. In Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, she delves into the roots and consequences of such relationships through a comprehensive examination of a number of factors, including attachment theory, family dynamics, and early childhood trauma.

At times, Stacey draws upon her own personal experience of recovery to bring her point poignantly home. The book includes a series of self-directed exercises, or “Journal Prompts,” to help readers develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics of toxic relationships in their own lives. With Stacey’s guidance, this self-delving leads readers toward self-compassion and healing through what she refers to as “Compassionate Detachment.”

Heart Wide Open: A Holistic Guide to Narcissistic Recovery, written in down-to-earth accessible language, is a must-read for those who want to learn more about narcissism and narcissists, their own personal relationship patterns, and how they can create powerful interpersonal boundaries to facilitate healing. The emphasis is on recovering the vital aspects of the self that had to be hidden in order to survive the relationship. Now, it’s time to break free of unhealthy cycles to make room for the love you deserve.

A. X. Foster was a prosecutor in Maryland for 20 years and then opened up his own law firm where he represented criminal defendants for an additional 15 years.

As a prosecutor, he tried approximately 100 jury trials, including homicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence and animal cruelty cases. His work promoting increased protection for animals led to the legislature enacting the first felony animal abuse law in Maryland history.  He also won the first conviction under the new law in 2000.

Foster graduated from Bennington College in Vermont with a double major in Literature and Theatre Arts.  He then spent two years as a copywriter at the Madison Avenue advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather.

Foster then traveled in Europe while based in Amsterdam, where he performed for two years at the English Speaking Theatre of Amsterdam.

After returning to New York, he became a member of the acting unions Actors’ Equity, the Screen Actors’ Guild, and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists.  In the 1980s, Foster performed in various TV soap operas, including “Ryan’s Hope,” “Search For Tomorrow,” “The Guiding Light,” “Another World,” and “As The World Turns.”

Disenchanted with the world of professional acting, Foster entered law school to become an entertainment lawyer, but took a different path once he studied criminal law.

At Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, Foster won the school-wide Moot Court tournament and also received the prize for best legal writing, the Best Brief Award, and the prize for best speaker, the Best Oralist Award.  He was then named to represent Emory in the National Moot Court tournament where he competed against other law schools from across the country.

Upon graduation from law school, Foster first worked for the Department of Justice in Wilmington, Delaware and then took a position as an Assistant State’s Attorney in Maryland.

GAVEL TO GAVEL, Foster’s first legal thriller, is based on Foster’s experiences as a prosecutor.  A life-long fan of murder mysteries and legal thrillers, with Agatha Christie, John Grisham and James Patterson as influences, Foster began writing the novel in 2020, when COVID greatly curtailed activity in the local courthouse.

In GAVEL TO GAVEL, a wealthy businessman is murdered by his wife. The only eyewitness is their nine-year-old disabled daughter. Her testimony is the key to the case. Top prosecutor Mac MacIntyre is calm, confident and relies on his courtroom cunning to maneuver through a maze of office politics, the bright glare of the media spotlight and his own thorny ethical dilemmas. The story follows Mac as he navigates from the crime scene investigation to the selection of the jury, to fierce cross-examination, to a surprising jury verdict.

GAVEL TO GAVEL was published by Paper Raven Books in 2023 and has garnered many positive reviews.  His next book in THE SENECA COUNTY COURTHOUSE SERIES is titled DOUBLE BLIND, and features another murder trial with elements of police and judicial corruption.

Richard Sparks
One morning in 1979 I got a call from an understandably excited Rowan Atkinson.

“John Cleese just called. He’s asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”

Er, yes.

I’d written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty’s Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman’s Ball.

Rowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties.

By that time, I’d cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I’d also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who’s the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we’ve lived in Los Angeles since.

I’ve written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin’s ‘writing partner’ in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.

I’d been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I’m too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.

My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres. I am delighted to join their family of authors, and to be working with their executive editor, Lezli, Robyn.

Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I’m currently working on the fifth book

Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I’m currently working on the fifth book

Lisa F. Rosenberg has a B.A. from U.C. Berkeley in Art History, a M.A. in Graduate Humanities and a MFA in Creative Writing from Dominican University of California. Her early professional career was in the blue-chip retail art world as a Gallerist for several prominent San Francisco art dealers including Crown Point Press and John Berggruen Gallery.

She was most recently a public guide at SFMOMA and Museum Educator on staff at the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco.

Her writing up until now has been in her professional life, primarily non-fiction, essays for exhibition catalogs, art criticism, tours, and public talks. Her short story, Family Footnotes, was recently featured in the summer 2024 edition of Amaranth: a journal of food writing, art and design, and she was a quarterfinalist in the Driftwood Press in house short story contest for the Spring of 2024.

Fine, I’m a Terrible Person is her debut novel. Her family heritage is Rhodeslis, Ladino speaking Sephardic Jews from the island of Rhodes. Her deep affection for her cultural legacy is reflected in the novel’s historical accuracy of language, cultural authenticity, and descriptions of mouthwatering cuisine.

About the Book

Fine, I’m a Terrible Person

73-year-old, worn out, former beauty, Aurora Hmans Feldenburg, a hapless, perpetually broke, eccentric, divorcee living in the wealthy enclave of Tiburon in Marin County in Northern California, is wakened by a phone call informing her that her father’s widow, has died. Her last chance at solvency, she decides to drive to Los Angeles to see if there is a will. Aurora is always ready for the next get rich scheme.

Aurora’s high-strung daughter, 43-year-old Leyla Feldenburg Rothstein, is a hypersensitive, insecure, perfectionist, insomniac, emotionally damaged from her father’s lifelong abuse and rejection. She is married to a wealthy, Jewish prince charming, investment banker who specializes in the legal Cannabis industry.

Aurora and Leyla’s separate quests intersect and enmesh in Los Angeles over the course of a weekend, where they both end up staying with cousins, quirky, endearing, Sephardic Jews who speak Ladino, mostly in proverbs and cook prodigious quantities of delicacies from the old country, the island of Rhodes.

When Aurora’s meager inheritance is stolen, she drags Leyla into a ludicrous chase. Unable to resist the pull from the trauma bond she shares with her infuriating mother, Leyla fails to adhere to her boundaries, even after years of therapy. She risks losing everything to another one of Aurora’s harebrained schemes.

Their entangled journeys and the chaotic, catastrophic outcome are the last straw for Leyla who must break free from her mother’s toxic dependency and destructive attachment to save herself, her marriage, and her young family.

Torkil Færø
Torkil has written the book Pulskuren and is the driving force behind the social website pulskuren.no.
He is a general practitioner, emergency doctor, documentary filmmaker, author, photographer, and globetrotter.

As a medical student, he was the first to go abroad for Norwegian Doctors Without Borders when he worked in war-torn Angola in 1996. For 25 years, he has been a freelance doctor, working in municipalities all over the country, conducting tens of thousands of consultations, and gaining a unique perspective on the diseases that plague us. He has learned that the cause is most often found in a lifestyle that stresses our body. He wanted to do something about that.

Torkil is concerned with how we can get the most out of life. In the book The Pulse Cure, he explains step by step how we can use the heart rate monitor or the smartphone to get to know our own body better and gain better control of the stress balance and the autonomic nervous system.

Torkil has been given a new life by making several intelligent lifestyle changes. He hopes that everyone who wants better health and more energy to live life to the fullest will benefit from the measures he enjoys so much. He also has a big wish for the healthcare system: that it works preventively to a much greater extent and provides more self-help resources than is the case today.

Torkil Færø is also an award-winning photographer who has published photography art books, held exhibitions and held photography workshops in many countries. He is an enthusiastic long-distance walker and has made the NRK films about pilgrimages to Nidaros and Santiago de Compostela. In his previous book, THE CAMERA CURE, he combined medical and photographic knowledge into a unique book about therapeutic photography, combining coping with life with taking good pictures. Faroe has travelled by backpack, bicycle, motorbike, kayak, boat and car in over 80 countries and speaks eight languages

During her long career in nonprofits she has protected open space, funded cancer research, trained people to complete endurance events, and helped writers bring their work into the world. When not organizing writing workshops, she can be found hiking with her dog, reading, traveling, experimenting in the kitchen, and hosting dinner parties.

Reading is a pleasure for me and there is seldom a time that I do not carry a book in my hand. I have even been known to take one to a major league baseball game, which put a big frown on my husband’s face.

One day as I was reading a book, I thought to myself, “I can do this. I can write a book.” Little did I know then how challenging it is to write a novel. But the thought put a seed in my mind and soon after that, I began writing. However, life got in the way and I put the writing aside for many years. When I retired in 2019, I pulled out the old manuscripts and began revising them.

In March 2021, I self-published “Seventy Times Seven” with Friesen Press. In 2022, “Hope Doesn’t Disappoint”, the first book of the 3-book Victory Series was published traditionally by Elk Lake Publishing, Inc., a small Christian company in Plymouth, MA. The second book in the series, “Abundance of Grace” came out in June 2023. The third, “Caused to Triumph”, is to be published sometime in 2024.

During the over thirty years I worked in the social services field, I met people of diverse cultures, socioeconomic and educational backgrounds, and beliefs. Their personalities and stories have become a melting pot in my brain and from that concoction come the characters and plots for my books. They do not come from one specific person but from a melding of many.

AI's Role in Content Creation
David and Dominick discussed the role of AI in content creation, particularly in writing and podcasting. They expressed concerns about the reliance on AI tools, which they believe can lead to the production of "beige" content that lacks personal stories and deep connections. They emphasized the importance of human creativity and the value of personal experiences in writing. They also discussed the potential pitfalls of using AI to generate content, such as the lack of authenticity and the inability to capture the essence of a personal story. They concluded that while AI can be a useful tool, it should not replace the creative mind of an author.

Consistency, Authenticity, and Networking Success
Dominick emphasized the importance of consistency and authenticity in achieving success, using the example of a friend who appeared on Oprah. He stressed that success requires putting in the same effort that led to success elsewhere and being consistent in sharing one's message. He also highlighted the importance of networking and reaching out to the right audience, using the example of a fantasy book author who found more success at a comic-con than at a book event. David agreed with these points, noting that the author's ability to connect with people at the comic-con was key to their success.

Persistence and Continuous Improvement
Dominick and David discussed the importance of persistence and continuous improvement in their respective endeavors. Dominick shared his experiences with various events and how he learned from them, emphasizing the value of networking and adapting to different situations. David then shared a quote from Theodore Roosevelt, "Do what you can with what you have where you are," and how it relates to authors. They both agreed on the importance of sharing one's journey, both the successes and struggles, to inspire and connect with others. David expressed his appreciation for Dominick's willingness to share his experiences and journey, which he believes helps others feel more comfortable in their own struggles.

Support, Motivation, and Podcast Growth
In the meeting, David and Dominick discussed the importance of reaching out to others for support and motivation. David expressed his gratitude towards Dominick for his consistent support and guidance. They also discussed the upcoming 500th episode of their podcast and the need for more authors to be featured. David encouraged Dominick to send him new authors who have never been on a podcast for a great first experience. They also touched on the topic of sharing content and the benefits of evergreen content. The conversation ended with both parties wishing each other a happy holiday season.

About the author
Sean Hagerty is a retired Special Operations Soldier with over 25 years of experience. He spent his younger years training and conducting combat operations with the 1st of the 75th Ranger Regiment. After nine years, in 2005 he was selected for and assigned to a Special Operations unit at Fort Belvoir Virginia. There he spent sixteen years and finished his military career, retiring as a Sergeant Major. He received several awards and decorations throughout his career to include three Bronze Stars.

His love for writing began in the cold mountains of Afghanistan, the dusty deserts of Iraq, and the plains of Africa. He would write short stories for his daughters, so they knew he was thinking of them while he was far away from home. Over the years, those playful fairy tales were complete, and it was time for him to tell a more grown-up story for a wider audience. Sean Hagerty has combined over 25+ years of service in the Special Operations community and deep-rooted research instincts from years of academic pursuits in history to tell this story. A story that was written on the back of a daily Washington D.C. commuter bus heading to the Pentagon, during plane flights, car rides, and even on his pontoon boat drifting along the Potomac River. It all came together during evening edits in the small river town of Occoquan Virginia.

Book - Jones Point: Written by a Special Operations Soldier

THIRD PLACE winner of The BookFest Awards - Thriller - Pyschological Division

Sean Hagerty is a retired Special Operations Soldier with over 25 years of experience. This gave him a unique perspective for a fiction series about saving missing children. While this story is fiction...the knowledge behind the missions is based on real experience and teachings.

By day, we're your neighbors. Your boss. Your teacher. By night, we hunt the monsters who hunt our children.

As a Special Operations soldier, Dane Cooper was trained and tested to handle the toughest, most dangerous situations around the world. He was not, however, prepared for the abduction of his daughter.

That kidnapping sends him into a downward spiral, the depths of which are unknown even to Dane. But a lifeline is thrown to him by a mysterious cabal, which sees his skills as paramount to helping others.

Now investigating other grieving parents' cases, Dane must conceal his efforts from the zeal of an FBI agent hot on the trail of the vigilante cabal, a dedicated Virginia Bureau of Investigation team, and an elusive network of monsters at the center of it all. Punishing the wicked while searching for his little angel, Dane must also overcome the struggle with his own demons.

Phyllis Gobbell’s writing career spans four decades. Her history of publication includes both fiction and nonfiction, with a total of five novels and over thirty stories and articles in literary journals, anthologies, and magazines. One of her first stories appeared in the anthology, HomeWorks, in 1996, a collection of writings by Tennessee authors living at that time, including Alex Haley, Robert Penn Warren, and Peter Taylor.

Gobbell, a Nashville author, writes a little bit of everything. Two true-crime books, An Unfinished Canvas (Berkley, 2007; Diversion 2020) and A Season of Darkness (Berkley, 2010), are accounts of high-profile, cold-case murders in Nashville. Now Gobbell authors the Jordan Mayfair Mystery Series: Pursuit in Provence (Five Star, 2015), Secrets and Shamrocks (Five Star, 2016), and Treachery in Tuscany (Encircle, 2018), winner of Killer Nashville’s Silver Falchion Award for Best Cozy Mystery.

Gobbell received the Tennessee Arts Commission’s Individual Artist Award in Fiction.

]]> Episode 493 - Phyllis Gobbell - PRODIGAL, a Southern novel that echoes an ancient Biblical story

Phyllis Gobbell’s writing career spans four decades. Her history of publication includes both fiction and nonfiction, with a total of five novels and over thirty stories and articles in literary journals, anthologies, and magazines. One of her first stories appeared in the anthology, HomeWorks, in 1996, a collection of writings by Tennessee authors living at that time, including Alex Haley, Robert Penn Warren, and Peter Taylor.

Gobbell, a Nashville author, writes a little bit of everything. Two true-crime books, An Unfinished Canvas (Berkley, 2007; Diversion 2020) and A Season of Darkness (Berkley, 2010), are accounts of high-profile, cold-case murders in Nashville. Now Gobbell authors the Jordan Mayfair Mystery Series: Pursuit in Provence (Five Star, 2015), Secrets and Shamrocks (Five Star, 2016), and Treachery in Tuscany (Encircle, 2018), winner of Killer Nashville’s Silver Falchion Award for Best Cozy Mystery.

Gobbell received the Tennessee Arts Commission’s Individual Artist Award in Fiction. Other writing achievements include the Leslie Garrett Fiction Prize awarded by the Knoxville Writers Guild, Tennessee Writers Alliance Short Story First Place Award, and the North Carolina Writers’ Workshop First Place Award in Creative Nonfiction. She received a Pushcart nomination for her story, “Primates,” which was published in Bellevue Literary Review.

AJ Whitney is a young adult author living in the Kansas City metro with her husband of nearly 20 years and two teenagers. She is also a high school counselor, dubbed as “the punk rock school counselor.” Apart from books, which are her oldest love, she also enjoys making and listening to music, befriending every animal imaginable, playing board games, and getting sucked into D&D campaigns against her will.

Book One of AJ’s speculative / dystopian series Sovereign is expected in 2025. She also writes horror, thrillers, fantasy, and dark contemporary fiction. When reading an AJ Whitney book, expect a page-turner with twists, cliffhangers, and dark surprises.

Book - Soverign - Number 332 is living to be sacrificed.

A teen with no name, she'll take part in the Sending alongside nine other orphans after the Festival.

They will be left in the Fields and taken by the Sovereign as gifts, and the town will be blessed with a decade of bountiful harvests - same as the past three centuries.

But after so long, even the town elders begin questioning the decennial Sending and the very existence of the Sovereign.

They've all forgotten about the gray-haired woman who saw everything. The rotten crops. The starvation. The message scrawled in the barren Fields.

Every 10 years.

Hello! Hola! I'm Darlene P. Campos, an Ecuadorian-American author who is also a proud Houstonian.

I earned my BA in English-Creative Writing with a Medicine and Society Studies minor from the University of Houston (Go Coogs!) and my MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Texas at El Paso (Go Miners!).

I am the author of the young adult novels Behind Mount Rushmore, Summer Camp is Cancelled, and Heaven Isn't Me, traditionally published by Vital Narrative Press.

Pete Philipps' Interview
Pete grew up in Essen, a major industrial city on Germany’s Ruhr River. His father worked as a cattle hide dealer for an international trading company in nearby Mühlheim. His mother was a designer for a fashionable women’s dress shop. Pete, his younger twin brothers, and parents lived together in an apartment.

1933–39: Pete had barely passed his first birthday when the Nazis came to power. His father realized the danger that now faced Jews in Germany, and the family left for Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1936. Pete attended Jewish school there, but the times were unsettling. In fall 1938, the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia, was incorporated into the Nazi Reich, and the following March, German troops marched into Prague. Shortly thereafter, Pete’s family left for Italy, where they settled in the Genoa suburbs. There, they were attacked by local antisemitic fascists. Soon after Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Philippses immigrated to Ecuador.

1940–45: In Quito, the Philippses joined the growing colony of refugees from Germany. Pete attended a private boys’ school. His father set up business making margarine, while his mother did clothing alterations and knitting. In May 1941, just six months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippses arrived in the United States. Pete’s father returned to his former company.

After the war, Pete learned that his paternal grandmother, who had fled earlier to the Netherlands, had been deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. He completed his education and, after a tour of military duty in Germany, became a journalist for the New York Times.

Mick Heyman, CFA and Founder of Heyman Investment Counseling, has a 40-year career in wealth management, helping individuals and institutions of all sizes to build and preserve wealth with his stress-free method for mellowing your money.

Mick started his career at a small firm in Cincinnati before moving to Louisville to focus on equities with a team of top equity managers, managing billions in assets for clients. His career came full circle when he moved to San Diego to work with individual investors, some of whom have remained loyal to him for more than 30 years.

Mick received a Bachelor of Economics from Northwestern and is a designated CFA. Despite a formal education in economics, it was really his interest in philosophy and psychology which showed him that human emotion is ultimately what drives the market. This realization has helped him make better money decisions for himself and his clients, using an understanding of human nature and an appreciation for long-term trends.

Surf the Market & Build Wealth Without Stressing Yourself Out

Do your palms start to sweat watching the markets bounce?

Have the headlines got you in a constant state of panic and paralysis?

Contrary to what you see on the news and in social media, money management can be a form of meditation that, when practiced correctly, blazes a path to peace rather than a road to emotional ruin.

I am a mom, a wife, a sister, and a daughter. I am a visionary and a dreamer of big dreams. I am a writer and a theology nerd. I am passionate about empowering others to share their stories through the sharing of my own. My study and research interests include identifying the places where the church meets the world and gathering the beautiful tapestry of stories that live quietly in our community.

I began my professional career as a Writer/Producer for Turner Network Television before transitioning into a career in service and ministry. I earned my Bachelor of Arts Degree from Wake Forest University and a Master of Religion and Public Life degree from Emory University. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at Pittsburgh Theological Seminar with a particular focus in Creative Writing and Public Theology.

In 2018, I founded and led a tuition-free private school for children experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. We began with 9 young scholars and now serve over 60 scholars. The journey to begin this change-making organization is a pivotal part of my story.

About the Book       

What do you do when you see something you can’t ignore? That’s what happened to Kate Kennedy one day as she drove down the Courtland Street corridor in Atlanta, Georgia. After that day, she could not look away. Once Upon a School shares the story of a stay-at-home mom of four who ignited a wave of community change by building a school to serve children without housing. One dollar and one day at a time, Kate pushed against all odds to build a program that cares for the most vulnerable children. In the process, she learned more about herself than she ever imagined . . . even when it all began to fall apart.

With humor and vulnerability, Kate shares the story of challenging the status quo and digging deep into her own story to find connection, hope, and new answers to old problems.

Once Upon a School is a story of racial inequity, generational poverty, and finding community in the most unlikely places. It’s about building a school, standing up for children, and finding your place in the world. As the story unfolds, Kate invites readers to challenge themselves and their own communities through the lenses of social impact, personal growth, and theology.

Once Upon a School is about daring to dream big and learning to bounce back. This journey reminds us, writes Kate, that “we all have the capacity to make lasting community change in our own unique ways if we can find the strength and courage to take the first step and keep on walking.”

Steve MacBeth, a three-tour Afghan war veteran, offers a compelling, first-hand account of Canada’s involvement in one of the most protracted and most complex conflicts of the 21st century. Through vivid and unfiltered interviews with 150 frontline soldiers, this collection captures the diverse experiences of those who served. 

These soldiers share their stories from the front lines of Afghanistan, detailing the challenges, sacrifices, and moments of camaraderie they encountered. The title, inspired by the military expression "no names, no pack drill"—intended to ensure lessons are learned from soldiers' experiences without identifying those involved—reflects the humility and quiet professionalism of the Canadian soldiers, who are culturally uncomfortable with recognition for their service.

From harrowing combat operations to the calmer, often overlooked aspects of deployment, these personal stories provide a raw and intimate portrait of the war. Shared from one veteran to another, these stories are told using the soldier’s vernacular, ensuring that the voices were genuine.

This book is not about building discourse on Canada’s strategy in Afghanistan. It leaves complex political discussions behind. It does not try to put the experiences into context or explain who was right or wrong or whether the tactical decisions made were good or bad. It strips the events down to their rawest form and shares them in the words of those who lived in Canada’s experience in Afghanistan.

The work bears witness to the experiences of the average soldier and provides a historical first-person record for future generations. This gripping collection reveals the untold human side of modern warfare, shedding light on its profound impact on those who served.

]]> EPISODE 486 - Steve MacBeth - No Names No Pack Drill - An Oral History of Canadians at War in Afghanistan

Steve MacBeth, a three-tour Afghan war veteran, offers a compelling, first-hand account of Canada’s involvement in one of the most protracted and most complex conflicts of the 21st century. Through vivid and unfiltered interviews with 150 frontline soldiers, this collection captures the diverse experiences of those who served. 

These soldiers share their stories from the front lines of Afghanistan, detailing the challenges, sacrifices, and moments of camaraderie they encountered. The title, inspired by the military expression "no names, no pack drill"—intended to ensure lessons are learned from soldiers' experiences without identifying those involved—reflects the humility and quiet professionalism of the Canadian soldiers, who are culturally uncomfortable with recognition for their service.

From harrowing combat operations to the calmer, often overlooked aspects of deployment, these personal stories provide a raw and intimate portrait of the war. Shared from one veteran to another, these stories are told using the soldier’s vernacular, ensuring that the voices were genuine.

This book is not about building discourse on Canada’s strategy in Afghanistan. It leaves complex political discussions behind. It does not try to put the experiences into context or explain who was right or wrong or whether the tactical decisions made were good or bad. It strips the events down to their rawest form and shares them in the words of those who lived in Canada’s experience in Afghanistan.

The work bears witness to the experiences of the average soldier and provides a historical first-person record for future generations. This gripping collection reveals the untold human side of modern warfare, shedding light on its profound impact on those who served.

About Wendy Dale
"Wendy is the best instructor I've had, bar none. She continually pushes you and never lets you settle for good enough. She is knowledgeable, patient, helpful, and has an excellent sense of humor! I would take a class again with her anytime." -- Sandra Carpenter

"Wendy is phenomenal! I've taken dozens of writing courses and completed an MFA in creative writing. Never have I received such useful instruction. I'm happy that I'll be starting her advanced course next week." -- Mary Rowland

"Wendy exceeded my expectations. I was stunned by how much practical information I learned and by how much I grew as a writer. The class was, in a word, invaluable!" -- Carly Van Thomme

"Wendy encourages her students to dig deeper -- and the results show. I highly recommend her. She is insightful, conscientious, and supportive. I couldn't ask for more." -- Michele Meek

"Wendy is that tough critic who can be the best thing that happens to your manuscript." -- Lucey Bowen

Acclaim for Wendy's memoir
"Deeply funny." 
   – Vogue Magazine

"Wry, funny."   
  – Outside Magazine

"Mix David Sedaris, Lucille Ball, and a fifth of tequila in a blender [and] you get Wendy Dale, who is quite possibly the funniest travel writer since Homer. But strain off the foamy giggles and you’re left with a raw, smart, and passionate woman in search of herself and awestruck at the beauty of even the ugliest corners of the earth."
   – Deborah C. Kogan, author of Shutterbabe"

"Dale has an amazing ability not only to find intrigue and drama and hardship but to meet them all with an undampened sense of humor and a roving eye for the absurd. And by getting entangled in other people’s lives, as opposed to hiking through rain forests, she enjoys glimpses into worlds forever closed to the average tourist. A few years ago, Janet Malcolm, writing in the New Yorker, complained that she ‘always found travel writing a little boring’ because ‘travel itself is a low-key emotional experience, a pallid affair in comparison with ordinary life’ … which is absolutely true, unless you travel like Wendy Dale."
   – Thomas Swick, travel editor of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel

"This is a wonderful book – not a subversive treatise on rule-breaking as the title might suggest, but a witty, insightful memoir of a young woman from an offbeat, though well-traveled family." 
   – Bookpage

"With grace, charm and abundant humor, Dale narrates her meandering story of a childhood regained, ‘a chance to make rash decisions, to take wild risks, to lose everything knowing I’d still have plenty of time to earn it all back.’"
   – Time Out New York

"Funny, impulsive, and alluringly naïve, Wendy Dale is repeatedly swept into adventure and trouble and love, mostly when she’s looking the other way. I had a great time going along on her wacky journey. I read the book in one sitting, reluctantly getting up midway to make a sandwich, placing the open book on the counter so I didn’t have to stop reading."
   – Rita Golden Gelman, author of Tales of a Female Nomad

Zeeva Bukai is a fiction writer, born in Israel and raised in New York City. Her stories have appeared in OfTheBook Press, Carve Magazine, Pithead Chapel, The Master’s Review, jewishfiction.net, Mcsweeney’s Quarterly Concern, Image Journal, December Magazine, The Jewish Quarterly and elsewhere. Her honors include a fellowship at the New York Center for Fiction, residencies at Hedgebrook Writer’s Colony, and Byrdcliff AIR program in Woodstock NY. 

She received The Master’s Review fiction prize, the Curt Johnson Prose Award, and the Lilith Fiction Award. Her work has been anthologized in Frankly Feminist: Short Stories by Jewish Women from Lilith Magazine, and Out of Many: Multiplicity and Divisions in America Today. She holds an MFA from Brooklyn College and is the Assistant Director of Academic Support at SUNY Empire State University. Her debut novel, The Anatomy of Exile, will be published by Delphinium Books in January 2025. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.

The Abadi Family saga begins when a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story between a Palestinian and a Jew ends in predictable tragedy. The family flees to America to mend, but encounters only more turmoil that threatens to tear the family apart.

In the wake of the 1967 Six Day War, Tamar Abadi’s world collapses when her sister-in-law is killed in what appears to be a terror attack but what is really the result of a secret relationship with a Palestinian poet. Tamar’s husband, Salim, is an Arab and a Jew. Torn between the two identities, and mourning his sister’s death, he uproots the family and moves them to the US. As Tamar struggles to maintain the integrity of the family’s Jewish Israeli identity against the backdrop of the American “melting pot” culture, a Palestinian family moves into the apartment upstairs and she is forced to reckon with her narrow thinking as her daughter falls in love with the Palestinian son. 

Fearing history will repeat itself, Tamar's determination to separate the two sets into motion a series of events that have the power to destroy her relationship with her daughter, her marriage, and the family she has worked so hard to protect. This powerful debut novel explores Tamar’s struggle to keep her family intact, to accept love that is taboo, and grapples with how exile forces us to reshape our identity in ways we could not imagine.

Bob Johnson holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop. He took a disgraceful, extended break from writing short stories to follow several career paths, the most notable of which were an English professorship at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana, and Operations Manager at WSBT-TV in South Bend.

He came to his senses in the last year and is now writing fiction full-time and having the time of his life.

Bob's story "Pay the Fish Lady" appeared earlier this summer in the online journal Wag's Revue.

He lives in South Bend with his wife Cindy and his dog Ellie. His other hobbies include playing golf (badly) and gardening (occasionally successful). He has two sons, two daughters-in-law and two granddaughters, and he is looking forward to the arrival of two grandsons within a week of one another in December.

Book: The Continental Divide: Stories - A country woman makes a Sophie's Choice regarding her family's survival. A small town marshal hunts his own son for murder. A former football hero must face his role in a brutal locker room ritual. Ferocious and real, the fourteen tales in Bob Johnson's blistering debut The Continental Divide explore the undertow of violence and sin along the St. Lawrence Divide in northern Indiana, where men, women, and children struggle to find their way in the darkness...of the divide.

Bart Stark is a U.S. Army paratrooper and a combat veteran, who later entered a life of crime as a prosecutor and defense attorney. Now, Bart is beginning the third act of his life as a novelist.

After leading a vagabond life which took them across America and Europe, Bart and his wife settled in the highlands of Panama. His favorite pastime is hiking his dogs in the jungle and daydreaming dystopian futures for his characters.

Book - Wolves at the Gate
Lieutenant Jim Fraser was in turns eager and terrified. His Bravo Company led the American offensive to liberate Charleston, but would his wife Florie and their twin girls trapped behind German lines survive the coming battle?

Consider another Second World War. Due to a twist of history during his youth, Adolf Hitler turns west and out to sea against England and America in alliance with fascist Japan and Italy. After the British Empire falls, the Axis turn on an outnumbered and unprepared United States. Instead of being waged in far off land, total war rages across the Hawaiian Islands and South Carolina, down our streets and into the homes of our families.

The new re-released edition of “Saving KC” by Grinell “Buzz” Desjarlais offers readers a unique experience by presenting two alternate endings, allowing them to choose between a hopeful conclusion or a more somber, thought-provoking one. This historical fiction novel, set against the backdrop of post-Vietnam America, delves into the complexities of addiction, recovery, and redemption. The book releases on September 17, 2024, under Classic Day Publishing/Peanut Butter Publishing and is available on Amazon in hardcopy, e-book, and audiobook formats. 

To celebrate the launch, Desjarlais will appear as a guest of Books That Make You at the exclusive DPA Pre- Awards Gifting Suite in Los Angeles. His signing and gifting takes place Friday, September 13, 2024, at the Luxe Hotel. There, he will sign copies of his book for celebrities and attendees of the high-profile Hollywood gifting party. 

“Saving KC” explores the human condition through the lens of addiction and the quest for personal salvation. Desjarlais, who comes from a long line of Native American creatives, brings a deeply personal narrative to life, reflecting his own experiences through fictional storytelling.  

“In ‘Saving KC,’ I explore the delicate balance between saving others and saving oneself—a journey many of us walk every day,” says Grinell “Buzz” Desjarlais.  

The historical fiction book is set in a time when America was grappling with the aftershocks of the Vietnam War. It tells the story of characters who struggle with their demons and search for redemption in a world that often feels unforgiving. 

The new edition of “Saving KC” is groundbreaking in that it offers readers a choice in how the story concludes. Desjarlais wanted to give his audience the ability to engage more deeply with the narrative by allowing them to determine the fate of the characters. This innovative approach to storytelling invites readers to reflect on the themes of the book and decide whether they prefer a story of hope or one that challenges them with a more realistic, albeit somber, conclusion. 

“Life doesn’t always offer us choices in the outcomes we face, but in literature, we can imagine anything. Creating a book with two endings provides readers with their choice between comforting happiness, or a jolt of reality, depending on their preference,” Elliott Wolf, President of Classic Day Publishing/Peanut Butter Publishing, explains. 

“Saving KC” is available on Amazon and from other retailers. Hardcopy, e-book, and audiobook versions will be available. The publisher is Classic Day Publishing, an imprint of Peanut Butter Press. The new, dual-ending edition will be available by September 17, 2024.

This multi-faceted approach helps readers understand and implement the "Let Them" philosophy in various aspects of their lives.

Her straightforward approach may seem overly simplistic to some, but Robbins embraces this simplicity, arguing that complicated solutions are often less effective

Impact and Application

  • Stop wasting energy on uncontrollable factors
  • Break free from self-doubt and fear
  • Build stronger relationships
  • Pursue personal goals with confidence

Ben Hawken is the award-winning creator of several beloved video series and a small handful of children.

Previously, he was the author of zero other books and graduated with honors from a community college, as well as a real college.  

He lives outside Seattle with his family.

Book: Chandelier 

A Family, a Crisis, a Signal.

At the height of the Cold War, Sienna Barrett was an unremarkable and otherwise anonymous child.

She would spend the next two years participating in the most closely guarded secret in human history. No president, prime minister, or general knew of the project’s existence until 30 years after every piece of it had been disassembled and the pieces incinerated.

And then she was abruptly sent home and given the impossible task of resuming her life as if nothing had happened.

Thirty years later, the world is about to descend into chaos – unbeknownst to everyone but the small handful of world leaders struggling to survive while inadvertently pushing it over the edge.  This chaos finds Sienna and requires her to make a terrible choice.

This thrilling and expansive story unfolds across a narrative landscape that is both breathtaking in its scope and intensely intimate in its approach.

Meet Local Author & Veteran Bruce Stock

Bruce Stock was in Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry; he was the first PPCLI officer to become a vice-regal aide-de-camp to the Governor-General. He served at Rideau Hall with the Vaniers from 1964 to 1966 and was there with the Governor-General and Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson as they inaugurated and unfurled the new Canadian flag in 1965. 

On leaving the forces, Stock specialized in corporate communications and media relations, becoming a speechwriter for the founder of Shoppers Drug Mart and well-known philanthropist Murray Koffler. He was asked to re-enlist as a Public Affairs Officer for the Canadian peacekeepers during the Bosnian War in 1993. After the Dayton Accords ended the conflict in 1995, he returned to Bosnia as a Public Information Officer with the UN International Police Force.

He concluded his military service with mandatory retirement, while working as a media relations officer for Emergency Measures Ontario, he played a key role in the Provincial Operations Centre during the devastating ice storm of January 1998. As a member of this team, he received the Amethyst Award, the province’s highest award for achievements made by public servants.

It’s not his only award. In recognition of his 40 plus years as a practitioner, teacher, mentor and visionary in public relations, Bruce was inducted into the College of Fellows of the Canadian Public Relations Society in 2010. In recognition of his military services, he was recently honoured by the London Knights in their 2021 Remembrance Day ceremonies!

Bruce now lives with his family in London, where he continues work as the President of a consulting firm, The Great Communications Secret. He helps manage the reputations of his clients in the private and not-for-profit sectors. But we shouldn’t forget his work as an author!

Bruce is a busy man – on top of all this work, he continues to write. He finished Switch Pitcher, his first novel, last summer. Born in Timmins, Bruce remembers watching the days of the Hollinger Miners dominating a local gold-mining industrial league. It sparked a passion that he’s carried with him his entire life; now, Bruce has put his long-time enthusiasm for this great game into a compelling narrative that’s sure to be a hit among baseball fans.

Bruce has always wondered what it would be like if Major League Baseball had switch pitchers – players who could pitch right-handed and left-handed – much like switch hitters. If you have a Blue Jays (or, closer to home, London Majors) fan in the family, this book is the perfect gift!

I don’t have hayseed clinging to my trousers, but growing up on a Canadian farm gave me a unique foundation as a writer. I sprouted under cumulous clouds that bloomed everywhere in Alberta’s big sky. They were my first creative writing instructors, scudding across the heavenly blue, constantly changing shape: one minute an elephant, bruised and brooding. The next morphing into a rabbit or a castle. These billowing masses gave me a unique view of life on earth.

As a girl, I prowled the land, talking to chickens and pigs and lambs, creating scenarios for them. I also tried to make perfume from the wild Alberta roses and captured caterpillars, watching with wonder when they transformed themselves into butterflies. Everything around me seemed infused by nature spirits waiting to be released.

I soon realized that all objects are in motion, waiting for stories to illuminate them. The clouds’ shifting form also schooled me in the various possibilities open to me as a writer. So did Jack Frost’s enchanted creations that enlivened the windows in wintertime, forcing me to view my surroundings as if through a bewitching prism. These early experiences helped me to envision multi-dimensional characters. No wonder magical realism pulses at the heart of my narratives, and my work celebrates the imagination.

As an adult, I continue to seek instruction from clouds. Just as they provide the earth with much-needed water, I believe that stories have a similar function, preparing the mind to receive new ideas. Also, conditions inside a cloud are not static—water droplets are constantly forming and re-evaporating. Stories, too, change, depending on who is reading them, each one giving life to its readers.

I’ve published reviews, interviews, short fiction, poetry, travel pieces, essays, and memoir in over 165 American and Canadian venues. Fling!, one of my novels, was published in July 2015 by Pen-L Publishing. Regal House Publishing released Curva Peligrosa, another novel, in September 2017. Pen-L Publishing published Freefall: A Divine Comedy on 1/1/19. The Ripening: A Canadian Girl Grows Up!,  featuring the same main character as in Freefall, came out on October 2021. My poetry collection All This was published in 2011, and a chapbook (No More Kings) was released in March 2020.

Shanti Arts Publishing will release my hybrid memoir Dreaming Myself into Old Age: One Woman’s Search for Meaning in 2023 as well as my new poetry collection California Dreaming. 

I also taught writing at the University of San Francisco (USF) for over 30 years and was vice-president of USF’s part-time faculty union. I currently teach creative writing at USF’s Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning.

Joe Herod, or as the literary world knows him, JS Herod, channels the spirits of Ernest Hemingway, Jack London, and Patrick Rothfuss in his writing. Born in Dallas, Texas, Joe's early years were spent crisscrossing the country, courtesy of his father's military career. Naturally, Joe caught the travel bug and spent years on the move himself. In 2019, he found himself back in a sleepy town in rural Mississippi, caring for his ailing dad. Though his father never discouraged Joe’s writing, he never really acknowledged it either. By Christmas 2023, Joe had nearly shelved his author dreams—until fate intervened. While rummaging through his mom's attic, he unearthed a box of his late Dad's personal belongings. Inside was his USMC pocket watch and the original handwritten manuscript of what would eventually become "Chronicles of the Bard King." It was like his dad was giving him his blessing, reigniting his passion for storytelling. Joe’s journey from dusty boxes to literary dreams is nothing short of magical.

In 2019, he found himself back in a sleepy town in rural Mississippi, caring for his ailing dad. Though his father never discouraged Joe’s writing, he never really acknowledged it either. By Christmas 2023, Joe had nearly shelved his author dreams—until fate intervened. While rummaging through his mom's attic, he unearthed a box of his late Dad's personal belongings. Inside was his USMC pocket watch and the original handwritten manuscript of what would eventually become "Chronicles of the Bard King." It was like his dad was giving him his blessing, reigniting his passion for storytelling. Joe’s journey from dusty boxes to literary dreams is nothing short of magical.

About the author

Natasha Sharma is a freelance software developer who moonlights as a writer. She has been a voracious consumer of the written word since her childhood and is never without a book (or a Kindle) by her side. A true blue feminist, she is passionate about creating awareness on gender inequality and other social issues. At the same time, her work displays a characteristic streak of cleverness and wit. 

Her stories have been published in several online magazines like eShe, Reading Frame, Thinking Pen, eFictionProject, Penmancy, amongst others. Her op-ed pieces and other articles can be found on leading web portals such as MoneyControl, SheThePeople, and Women’sWeb.

Natasha was also the proud participant of the Humanity Project by Tacenda Publication, which has fetched them a mention in the Asia Book of Records.

Last year, her winning story was featured in the eShe and Embassy Books join venture, a paperback, Everything Changed After That. In 2022, her winning stories have been featured in Existing Loudly (volume 3) by The Write Order and The Runner's Tribe by The Impish Lass.

Book: Beneath Divided Skies - In 1947, Satya, a teenager, is orphaned by the Partition, and flees to India to join a clandestine organization rescuing abducted women. Risking her life in undercover missions, Satya’s unwavering determination reflects the unyielding resilience of the human spirit. She finds purpose and unexpected love with a Pakistani officer. As she battles for women’s freedom, Satya faces an agonizing choice—will duty to her country overshadow her heart’s desire, or can she reconcile love and purpose amidst the chaos?

Based on the ‘Rescue and Restoration Act of 1949’, Beneath Divided Skies explores the lives of social workers, women, and the hard choices they face.

Rebecca Hendricks is a writer and author of the new novel Hound Dogged.

Rebecca has made a career doing accounting and Judicial Assistant work, but her passion has always been writing and creating colorful and exciting stories. Starting at a young age, Rebecca could be found in her room, spending countless hours writing stories in long hand or typing her work with one finger on her father’s antique typewriter.

Rebecca is a Colorado native where she lives with her husband, dog, and two cats. She enjoys urban exploration and camping with her husband and their Golden Retriever, Haley. In her limited free time, she enjoys restoring and giving new life to old dolls.

Book: Hound Dogged: (Hound Dogs Series)

In the vibrant year of 1958, a time when Rock & Roll pulsated through teenage hearts, five friends found harmony in chaos, forming The Hound Dog As societal forces clash and cultural upheaval takes center stage, John, Stu, Jerry, Patrick, and the talented newcomer Danny embark on a musical journey in the throes of a changing world.

Beneath the surface of their carefree strumming sessions in Stu’s mom’s basement, ambitions stir within the band. Doubts arise, and the camaraderie is tested as the members question each other’s motives, wondering if they can collectively reach the pinnacle of Rock & Roll stardom.

Tensions escalate, propelling The Hound Dogs toward an unexpected gig before a sizable audience, a challenge they are ill-prepared to face. Faced with the looming prospect of failure on stage, a talented newcomer, Danny Bruer, joins in and helps to save the day. However, Danny is preparing to audition for The Dice, a major band with a colossal ego, and they're determined to acquire something The Hound Dogs possess, whatever the cost.

Here's the thing...writing a full-length novel manuscript is hard. I know
this because I have four published novels (and more hiding in drawers!). 
What I wished I had during this time was someone to be my sounding board, developmental editor, expert in my genre, co-strategist and right-hand cheerleader. So, when I discovered book coaching was an actual thing, I jumped at the chance.

These days, I happily tell people I'm serving my younger self by being the writing guide and author mentor I always wanted. 

But it wasn't until midlife that I finally got up the courage to follow my novel writing dreams...

I was that girl who was always writing stories

The Steps to Story Podcast with your host Nicole Meier, delivering weekly episodes (in short and accessible recordings!) that provide fiction writers with essential steps and strategies, so they can get clear on their big story idea, complete their manuscripts, and follow their novel writing dreams.If you’re an emerging author seeking guidance, this podcast is for you!

https://pod.link/1727947628

City of Books: A Novel

Jo Waterstone knows what you should read next. She’s honed the skill of sizing up a person and recommending their next book in the decades she’s worked at Bruebaker’s Books. Her life has been shaped by the store, the bustle of customers exploring the stacks, and managing the eager staff. She can honestly say it’s the best job she’s ever had.

Then the store’s elderly owner, Mr. Bruebaker, suffers a stroke, and just like that Jo’s perfect job is on the chopping block. Mr. B’s daughters and the bookstore’s icy CEO think the time is right to close for good, and they order Jo to lock up. But she doesn’t know what she would be without Bruebaker’s—and besides, the place is an institution. So instead of following orders, she decides to take a stand: along with a few brave team members, she barricades herself in the store, trying to buy time until Mr. Bruebaker recovers and can speak for himself.

Living in a bookstore has a certain magic to it, but the quiet hours among the books throw the choices Jo has made in her life into sharp relief. As supporters—and detractors—start to voice their opinions about her actions, Jo will have to decide what, exactly, is worth saving.

Beth has been married to her military man for twenty-five years. Faith in Christ dramatically transformed Beth from a bitter and reluctant military wife to one who embraced the community. Beth is called to encourage other women to intentionally pursue Christ in military life through speaking and writing. Beth is completing a Master’s Degree from Gateway Seminary and is publishing a book called Another Move, God? 30 Encouragement for your Life as Military Wife 2024 with B & H Publishing based upon the life of the biblical character, Sarah.

This book will equip military wives to get a handle on the chaos and uncertainty of their life with a firm hold on a sovereign God by gaining insights from the life of Sarah. The lessons will address some of the most common challenges encountered by military wives, such as:

  • Loneliness
  • Adjusting to moving far from home.
  • Relationship challenges.
  • Seasons of single parenting.
  • Supporting their warrior in combat.
  • Relinquishing control.


When you think of a husband deployed into combat, a spouse called to serve God and people, long seasons of loneliness and solo parenting, a Permanent Change of Station, starting new relationships all over again, and a life that seems constantly on the move and perhaps out of control, chances are you immediately think of the life of a military wife.
 
But there’s another life whose journey has many parallels to these things—and that’s the biblical character of Sarah.

Join author and longtime military wife Beth Runkle as she dives into the story of Sarah, offering thirty hope-filled and practical encouragements for military wives along the way.

Navigating the military lifestyle is not easy—but Jesus has His eye on those who are called to it, especially wives. Whether you face a parenting struggle, a marriage frustration, or yet another move, take heart in these encouragements as they empower you to embrace God’s peace and your unique role in His mission as a military wife.

"Briefly Perfectly Human: Making an Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End" by Alua Arthur is a transformative memoir that challenges readers to confront their mortality and use that awareness to live more fulfilling lives

As America's leading death doula, Arthur brings a unique perspective to the often-taboo subject of death, infusing her narrative with warmth, generosity, and unexpected humor

The book weaves together Arthur's personal experiences, including her family's escape from a violent coup in Ghana, her battles with depression, and the loss of her brother-in-law to lymphoma

These profound encounters with death and transformation serve as a backdrop for Arthur's journey to becoming a death doula and founding her organization, Going with Grace

Arthur's writing shines with empathy and wisdom as she shares intimate stories from her work with clients facing the end of life

She explores the concept of "death embrace," advocating for open discussions about mortality and careful end-of-life planning

This approach, she argues, not only eases the burden on loved ones but also unlocks profound insights and personal growth for those confronting their own mortality

The memoir goes beyond simply recounting experiences, offering readers a new framework for thinking about death and its role in shaping a meaningful life

Arthur's message is clear: by acknowledging and preparing for our inevitable end, we can live more authentically and purposefully

"Briefly Perfectly Human" is praised for its raw honesty, inspiring perspective, and ability to transform readers' outlook on both life and death

It serves as a powerful testament to the importance of bearing witness to life's painful complexities and finding peace in our finite existence

For those seeking a thought-provoking and deeply human exploration of mortality and its impact on living, Arthur's debut offers a compassionate, insightful, and potentially life-changing read.

Emma MacDonald was born and raised outside of Washington, DC, where she received a B.A in International Relations from American University. When she’s not writing, she can be found gardening, brewing potions, or chasing after her small menagerie of pets. Emma loves to write fantasy with a big splash of magic and romance.

Whispers Most Foul - Pre-order this spellbinding sapphic romantasy, and step through the doors of Dunhollow Academy of Witchcraft, where magic and status mean the world, and deadly whispers haunt every corridor . . .

Rose Thenlif has never felt at home in these elite halls. An outcast for her inability to cast spells, she keeps her head in books, away from the critical eye of her headmistress mother, and the sneers of her fellow scholars – especially the talented but insufferable Sylvie.

But in the corridors of Dunhollow, something strange and threatening is stirring. Classmates are going missing and Rose discovers that she alone can see their ghosts. Are they dead, or enchanted? Or is something more sinister at work?

Worse yet, Rose’s latest ghostly vision is Sylvie – who’s just as displeased as Rose is to find herself magically tied to her greatest academic rival. The reluctant pair must team up to uncover the deadly mystery that lies at the heart of the academy, before time runs out for Sylvie.

But are either of them prepared to face the most haunting of secrets, one buried deep in both their hearts?

About the author

Damian Serbu is an author of LGBTQIA+ horror and speculative fiction. After over twenty years of teaching history at the collegiate level, he now writes full time. He lives in the Chicagoland area with his husband and two dogs.

Book: Witch in the Wind

A winter storm blows through Salem, Massachusetts, setting young witch Alexander MacBeth on a perilous path to adulthood as his dying mother gifts him an heirloom and pleads for him to use it to survive.

To do so, he will need to perfect his inherited witchcraft to protect himself from those who want him dead. In his journey to adulthood, he falls in love with dashing nobleman Crispin Nottingham. Abandoned by Crispin and pursued by the Puritans, he finds he must harness the wind to assist his escape and flee his homeland aboard a pirate ship led by the handsome captain, Henri the Twisted.

Struggling against distrustful pirates, an evil witch, and his continued longing for Crispin, Alexander sharpens his magical skills and falls into a romance with Henri. Chaos and danger confront him at every turn, even as he searches for love and belonging. A new sail on the horizon may signal hope or more danger than ever before—if Alexander can survive to meet his future.

MEET THE AUTHOR 

Redefining Historical Fiction - An Austin, Texas transplant, Kay Smith-Blum is a recovering retailer who is redefining the historical fiction genre from her bayside perch in Seattle. Named Woman Business Owner (NWWA) of 2013, her wit, humor, and resourcefulness helped her high-end retail fashion business endure multiple economic shifts in a decades-long career. She and her husband sold their company in 2016, allowing KSB to write full-time.

Winner of the 2023 Black Fox Lit short story contest, Smith-Blum is a member of the WFWA (serving on the Scholarship committee), the HistFic Affinity Group, a member of the Feisty Deeds Anthology editorial committee, Ravenna Writers Circle, CommuterLit Writers Group, the Authors Guild, PNWA, NIWA and AWP. She has been published in over a dozen literary journals and her debut novel, TANGLES, will be published on December 3, 2024 (available for pre-order now and all preorders benefit the Heart of America NW/HanfordCleanup.org.

As a publicly elected official (President of the Seattle School Board 2012) she led multiple initiatives on behalf of the students of Seattle. As a private citizen, Smith-Blum raised millions of dollars for education, the arts, and medical research. She established the first greenhouse and urban gardening program in Seattle Public Schools. She has served on numerous charitable boards in the Pacific Northwest. 

An active member of the downtown Seattle community, she is currently advocating for a park in the last green space in the urban core, made available by the demolition of the Highway 99 viaduct. An avid gardener, Smith-Blum works out her writer's block in her three sons' gardens and the nearest lap pool.​A graduate of the University of Texas, Smith-Blum chaired Downtown Seattle’s first marketing campaign and published a seasonal magazine for 10 years. She co-authored the “Every Man, Every Woman” inspirational series of cards and posters, published by Schurman Fine Papers, Portal Publications, and Sawdust City. Smith-Blum is a dynamic speaker and experienced producer of large and small events that leverage both traditional and social media.

Book: Tangles
Oppenheimer was just the beginning.

When a harpooned whale offers proof the Hanford Nuclear Reservation is endangering all life in the Columbia River Basin, Luke Hinson, a brash young scientist, seizes the chance to avenge his father's death but a thyroid cancer diagnosis derails Luke's research. Between treatments, he dives back in, making enemies at every turn. On an overnight trek, Luke discovers evidence that Mary, his former neighbor, embarked on the same treacherous trail, and her disappearance, a decade prior, may be tied to Hanford's harmful practices mired in government-mandated secrecy.

A love story wrapped in a mystery, this stunning Cold War home-front tale reveals the devastating costs of the birth of the nuclear age, and celebrates the quiet courage of wronged women, the fierce determination of fatherless sons, and the limitless power of the individual.

Tangles is a genre-defying must-read for our time.

Susan E. Schwartz, Ph.D. is a Jungian analyst educated in Zurich, Switzerland and is a licensed clinical psychologist. For many years Susan has been giving workshops and presentations at numerous local, national, community and professional organizations, and lectures worldwide on various aspects of Jungian analytical psychology. She has written several journal articles and book chapters on daughters and fathers, Puella, Sylvia Plath and has co-authored a couple of books.

She is a member of the International Association of Analytical Psychology and the American Psychological Association. Susan maintains a private practice in Paradise Valley, Arizona serving people in the greater Phoenix area, Tuscon, Prescott and Cottonwood, West Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe.

Jungian Analytical Psychology
Each of us harbors within our inner universe a number of characters, parts of ourselves that can cause conflict and distress when not understood. We seem to be relatively unacquainted with these players and their roles and yet they are constantly seeking a stage on which to perform their tragedies and comedies personally, relationally and collectively.

A life challenge, crisis or change of any form may feel overwhelming and leave us bewildered, confused, even shattered. The current world with its uncertainty can make us feel isolated and confused. How we coped before works no longer and the former attitudes, beliefs or ways we perceived ourselves are now proving inadequate. The problems reflect what is discordant and unassimilated in our personality. Paradoxically, these very obstacles can also become the incentives and openings to development.

The approach of Jungian Analytical Psychology addresses a broad range of emotional and relational situations and conflicts in the service of psychological growth. At the heart of the Jungian process is a realignment of conscious and unconscious energies so the psyche gains balance. Jungian Analytical Psychology is very much experience driven, keeping one foot in the outer world and the other in the realm of dreams, synchronistic events, fantasies, and symbols. Knowing oneself entails a journey so the unconscious, repressed or unknown elements are released, not merely for symptom relief but to transform and become concious. The psychological work involves connecting the past and the present, personal and collective, spiritual and mundane, and thereby creating an embodied and meaningful life. This is a process that is individual and collective, personal and relational and the work occurs in a sensitive and therapeutic atmosphere oriented to becoming all one is meant to be.

Jungian Analytical Psychology
Each of us harbors within our inner universe a number of characters, parts of ourselves that can cause conflict and distress when not understood. We seem to be relatively unacquainted with these players and their roles and yet they are constantly seeking a stage on which to perform their tragedies and comedies personally, relationally and collectively.

A life challenge, crisis or change of any form may feel overwhelming and leave us bewildered, confused, even shattered. The current world with its uncertainty can make us feel isolated and confused.

About the author

Gillian Eliza West, debut author of Ruin: The Infernis Duology, lives in Austin, Texas. With a passion for mythology that has taken her around the world (despite her fear of flying), she strives to infuse her own stories with a similar kind of wonder and magic. Her first foray into writing for an audience came through fan fiction, allowing her to hone her skills as a storyteller. When she isn’t working on her debut duology, you can find Gillian snuggled up with her dog, Walter, and a book or her favorite fanfic. 

Book: 

Ruin: The Infernis Duology Book One

“Ruin is a captivating romantasy that masterfully blends steamy tension with breathtaking world-building. . .a must-read that will leave you bewitched and eager to read the next book.” — Amanda Richardson, USA Today Bestselling Author

Oralia Solis hasn’t felt the touch of another in 245 years. Not without them crumbling to ash at her feet. Cursed by the bite of a daemoni, she has been sequestered away for the greater good of Aethera by her adopted father, King Typhon.

King Renwick rules the rival kingdom of Infernis, the land of the dead. When Oralia flees the palace of Aethera after her power is let loose with deadly results, he recognizes her potential as a weapon and aids her escape.

Oralia finds herself the prisoner of the man she has been taught to fear most, and Renwick is surprised to find there is more to this princess than her untamed powers. Despite the gulf of secrets and magic between them, Renwick can’t deny the pull he feels towards her, and Oralia struggles to resist the one person who cannot only survive her touch, but craves it.

As Oralia uncovers the truth of her parentage and masters her magic, she will discover that the power to raze or save either Aethera or Infernis lies in her hands. War between the two kingdoms looms and she must decide who she can trust and which she wants more: power or love.

Ruin is a true slow burn romance, with enemies to lovers, nods to multiple mythological stories reimagined into new lore, LGBTQIA+ representation (supporting characters)

DR. BELLA ELLWOOD-CLAYTON was born on Valentine’s Day in Melbourne, Australia; the daughter of avant-garde composer and playwright, Syd Clayton, and enlightenment-seeker, Gwenda Ellwood.

At a young age, Bella moved to Vancouver, Canada, with her mother. They lived in Kits (Kitsilano) in different basement suites. Bella’s mother went back to school, studying IT. Bella had a chaotic childhood with lots of freedom. She loved dancing and being with her friends. 

In elementary school, Bella had a bad knee accident and on the way to the hospital, wrote her first poem—a topic fitting a Vancouverite.

Raindrops on the window meet like lovers after a long separation 

During her recovery in the hospital, a friend’s mother visited Bella and read aloud Dylan Thomas’ poem, “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night,” as well as gifting her a book of poetry. From that moment on, Bella never stopped writing. She always had a journal and found deeper companionship with the page than almost anything or anyone else.

After high school, Bella moved to Montréal and completed a Bachelor of Arts from Concordia University, majoring in anthropology. Her honours thesis examined beauty historically and cross-culturally. She received first class honours and was the recipient of the Mark Doughty Scholarship. She had a studio apartment in the McGill Ghetto, a long-distance (toxic) relationship, and a desire explore the world.

Her first short story was published, as well as some poetry.

Soon after, with a crew from National Geographic, Bella took to the jungle to explore tattoo and social change in the Mentawai Islands of Indonesia. This documentary continues to air from a wide range of international locations.

Her nonfiction book, Sex Drive: In Pursuit of Female Desire, was published by Allen & Unwin. She published more short stories and poetry and wrote for The Huffington Post and Daily Life, and frequently appeared on radio programs such as Triple M and TV programs including, The Project and Sunrise. She’s given many talks about relationships, including a TEDx talk.

Bella hosted The Science of Sex Drive on Love Destination, a global video-on-demand network on 8 million devices.

Now, Bella is the Head of Editorial at NAC (New Authors Collective) Literary Agency and has a freelance editing business, Dr. Bella Editorial. She was the resident creative writing teacher at Kensington Neighbourhood House.

After writing her first poem about raindrops all those years ago, her debut novel, WEEKEND FRIENDS, was published in November 2023 (Post Hill Press/Simon & Schuster).

For the last few years I’ve been living wherever I hang my proverbial hat, currently between the UK and South Africa. 

I’m a  writer, speaker, imperfect follower of Jesus, wife, and mother of four grown-and-flown children, and a thousand other things besides.

My passions are for authenticity, integrity and justice.  I love to ‘see the lights come on’ for people when they grasp truth that makes a daily difference.

These days, I have more time and write for a number of magazines as well as working on book projects.

For twelve years I had a monthly column for a local newspaper.   I’ve also written a series of four  devotionals around the themes of the sea, the city, the countryside and the mountains – each with six weeks of material.  Contact me if you’d like to order a copy (details below).

MY BOOKS:

Spiritual Feasting (Instant Apostle  May 2020), explores Psalm 23:5, asking how it’s possible to take our assigned place at God’s table and ‘feast’ even when life serves us a bitter or sour ‘menu’.  It’s written for those who ‘recognise that Jesus never promised a trouble-free life, but want to experience the reality of living life to the full with Him.’  With Biblical and contemporary examples of those who’ve done just that, it’s a book that will challenge assumptions and comfort zones while encouraging you to pursue authentic intimacy with the Host of the banquet.  ‘Taster questions’ alongside each chapter give an opportunity to dig in to the nourishment of the sections more fully – ideal for small groups or an individual reader.  Published by Instant Apostle, it’s available through good bookshops and on-line; you can find it here: https://instantapostle.com/books/spiritual-feasting/

Polished Arrows (Instant Apostle May 2024), is based on Isaiah 49:2, it unpacks the arrowsmith’s art of taking an unpromising stick and crafting it into a lethal weapon; a powerful illustration of the journey of faith and discipleship. God, both Master craftsman and skilled archer, shapes us for His purposes so we can be fired with impact into our culture and contexts. Are we willing to be arrows in His hands? Each chapter of Polished Arrows closes with ‘Target questions’ followed by a biblical example of the process described in the text. Great for personal or small group use. Available from good book shops, on line and here: https://instantapostle.com/books/polished-arrows/

Hello, I’m Meredith Ritchie

I’ve lived many places, but Charlotte was the first I called home. After discovering how my hometown forgot its own amazing WWII herstory, it became the perfect setting for my first novel.

I have made a career in business communications and wrote my first novel, Poster Girls, as a cure for acute "empty nest syndrome." I live near the heart of the Queen City with my husband and two cats, who encourage my curiosity of the forgotten triumphs of the spirit, especially those found in our own backyard.

After an unwanted southern migration, an upside-down world in 1943 offers military wife and mother, Maggie Slone, a job at Charlotte’s largest wartime employer––the massive and dangerous Shell Assembly Plant.

Meanwhile, military wife and Alabama native, Kora Bell’s steadfast determination enables her to navigate the challenges she faces as a Black woman seeking employment under Jim Crow. 

A shared love of literature spurs an unlikely friendship between Kora and Maggie, and the two work together to unify the plant’s workforce. Stringent rules are necessary when the air is charged with gun powder and polite society, until Maggie and Kora must break them in order to support their families, end the war, and bring their husbands home.

Told from two perspectives, Poster Girls is driven by the true but forgotten events and accomplishments of a diverse group of ordinary American women, both relevant and necessary to stop modern cycles of misunderstanding.

About the author

Desiree is a speaker, best-selling author, corporate trainer, and host of the Lead With Confidence podcast. She is the founder and CEO of ‘Intentional Action’ which provides training programs in the form of team building experiences, leadership workshops and personality assessments specifically for teams who want to continue to grow together. Desiree will help you to build a life you love by taking control of what you can control. She will share her story of love, loss and leadership to inspire and encourage you to take responsibility for your own happiness!

Book: Taking Intentional Action: How to Choose the Life you Lead
We all have good intentions.

To eat healthier, exercise, read more, and scroll less. To have better relationships with our spouses, children, friends, and co-workers. To live a life we are proud of and that we love to live.

Unfortunately, most of our daily actions feel urgent rather than intentional. We can't keep our head above water, we struggle to get ahead, and we're always waiting for things to slow down.That's when our good intentions are overshadowed by excuses, and circumstances that are out of our control.

Fortunately, our busy lives are not mutually exclusive from living lives of purpose and living out our passion.

Author Desiree Petrich believes wholeheartedly that we can build a life that we love, even while feeling a bit overwhelmed. But first, we must choose to find purpose, passion, and gratitude in every day, even on days that feel hard. That requires taking intentional action toward continuously getting to know ourselves better, having positive and productive internal dialogue, and taking control of the things that we can control.

Desiree hopes that others will take the lessons from her failures and successes on their journey to becoming the best version of themselves and be inspired to take action on their goals and dreams!

Through the lens of Desiree's brilliant Foundation of Self framework, Taking Intentional Action will help you build a strong sense of self-engagement, self-worth, and self-awareness, all as it relates back to living a happy life, the life you choose to lead. 

"If you are looking to connect on a deeper level to your soul's purpose, this book is for you! The raw, vulnerable, and yet, positive message Desiree shares will be impactful for anyone who has gone through hard things, to remind them that there is always a silver lining, but we have to intentionally look for it. There is always a way we can do and be better."

-Jessica Burgio | Holistic Life and Business Coach

"If you are looking for a book that's got heart + depth, but at the same time gives you the tools and mindset shifts to work through the hard times in life, THIS IS IT."

-Katy Fassett | Health and Wellness Coach

]]> Episode 454 - Desiree Petrich - Agressively Friendly Podcaster and Author of Taking Intentional Action, How to Choose the Life you Lead

About the author

Desiree is a speaker, best-selling author, corporate trainer, and host of the Lead With Confidence podcast. She is the founder and CEO of ‘Intentional Action’ which provides training programs in the form of team building experiences, leadership workshops and personality assessments specifically for teams who want to continue to grow together. Desiree will help you to build a life you love by taking control of what you can control. She will share her story of love, loss and leadership to inspire and encourage you to take responsibility for your own happiness!

Book: Taking Intentional Action: How to Choose the Life you Lead
We all have good intentions.

To eat healthier, exercise, read more, and scroll less. To have better relationships with our spouses, children, friends, and co-workers. To live a life we are proud of and that we love to live.

Unfortunately, most of our daily actions feel urgent rather than intentional. We can't keep our head above water, we struggle to get ahead, and we're always waiting for things to slow down.That's when our good intentions are overshadowed by excuses, and circumstances that are out of our control.

Fortunately, our busy lives are not mutually exclusive from living lives of purpose and living out our passion.

Author Desiree Petrich believes wholeheartedly that we can build a life that we love, even while feeling a bit overwhelmed. But first, we must choose to find purpose, passion, and gratitude in every day, even on days that feel hard. That requires taking intentional action toward continuously getting to know ourselves better, having positive and productive internal dialogue, and taking control of the things that we can control.

Desiree hopes that others will take the lessons from her failures and successes on their journey to becoming the best version of themselves and be inspired to take action on their goals and dreams!

Through the lens of Desiree's brilliant Foundation of Self framework, Taking Intentional Action will help you build a strong sense of self-engagement, self-worth, and self-awareness, all as it relates back to living a happy life, the life you choose to lead. 

"If you are looking to connect on a deeper level to your soul's purpose, this book is for you! The raw, vulnerable, and yet, positive message Desiree shares will be impactful for anyone who has gone through hard things, to remind them that there is always a silver lining, but we have to intentionally look for it. There is always a way we can do and be better."

-Jessica Burgio | Holistic Life and Business Coach

"If you are looking for a book that's got heart + depth, but at the same time gives you the tools and mindset shifts to work through the hard times in life, THIS IS IT."

-Katy Fassett | Health and Wellness Coach

my mission
I'm a writer, author, and spiritual teacher, focused on raising awareness and consciousness. I dig deeper into the collective consciousness to root out the myths that keep us stuck in the status quo. I am a wholeness advocate who promotes transformation through the three stages of breakdown, reflection, and rebirth.

My Journey
I have often tried to insist that I remain a certain way—defined by a particular label, role, or growth path.

The universe has always decided differently.

In whatever form my work takes, I aim to encourage readers, seekers, listeners, and clients to dive deeply into their own self. Find out who they really are—underneath the labels and the identities, what I call our "skins".

My background is in yoga, Ayurveda, Buddhism, and a little bit of a whole bunch of other modalites. They've all shaped me, and they've all taught me more about who I am. Yet, none of them define me in totality, and that's exactly the way I like it!

Society makes room for people to change. But it doesn’t understand or make much room for people like me — people who make a lifestyle out of transformation.

So, I set out to fill in that gap, and support those of us who see transformation as an interconnected part of the human journey. Whether you're breaking down, going through a crisis, sorting through your beliefs and conditionings, or ready to rebirth a new "you" into the world, there's something here for you.

Book: Embodying Soul: A Return to Wholeness
Mind, Body, Spirit / Memoir

Serene Voyager, known as Sëri in the Soul Realm, reassesses her eternal journey before embarking on her next lifetime in the Earth Realm. For aid and companionship, she has her soul friend, Rasa; her soul animal, a silver-eyed wolf named Endless Curiosity; and distinctive characters that personify her emotions.

Meanwhile, in the Earth Realm, twenty-year-old Keri moves away from her birthplace of North Dakota and, heeding the advice of Fear and Guilt, unwittingly surrenders her self-worth for safety, her personal power for approval, and her intuition for false promises. Later, when her chosen roles of businesswoman, wife, mother, and yoga teacher thrust her into an identity crisis rather than imbue her life with meaning, she forges a relationship with her soul, Sëri.

Through parallel stories, Sëri helps Keri discover that joy derives not from successful role-playing but from knowing who you really are inside your human skin.

Ben Eden spent over seven years in HR, mostly in an HR executive role. He knows firsthand what you are going through in your career. As a highly successful HR executive, he helped run a global company with nearly 2,000 employees. Ben helped them grow the company as he went from HR Intern to the Leader of their Global HR department, building locations from the ground up around the world. Now, as an HR business coach, he leverages this extensive experience to help other businesses achieve their highest potential through his global talent HR consultancy.

During this time of fast business growth, Ben also graduated top of his class in his Bachelor’s program, and completed his Master’s degree in half the time required. He also became a Senior Certified Professional, all this while traveling the world opening new locations, training managers, and building teams.

Combining his education and personal experiences, Ben discovered areas of the HR profession that needed critical support. And that had him questioning — “Where is HR for HR professionals?” “Who can HR professionals turn to when laws are complex and changing, when employees need and demand so much, and when the management team expects you to have all the answers?” “Who can HR turn to when their wellbeing is at stake?”

From these questions and more, Ben began to realize he was doing more coaching and advising and also realized that each company and their situations are unique. 

But there is one thing that always remains the same — you are a human trying to do your best in your role with what you’ve got to work with currently. Sometimes you need a safe place to turn where you can have your questions and concerns addressed, your fears and doubts resolved, and your confidence bolstered. That’s where HR professional coaching can help you avoid or recover from burnout, build resilience, confidence, and motivation. A place where you can be heard, understood, and directed effectively so that you show up doing and achieving your very best. Ben, as an HR business coach through his global talent HR consultancy, helps you bring the optimism back to your job.

About the author

Anne Fowler, only child of Audrey and Stewart Hamilton, was raised in Toronto where she attended Leaside High School and Toronto Western Hospital School of Nursing. In 1962 American Airlines beckoned her to Dallas, Texas and life in the sky as a flight attendant. Twice divorced, Anne first married a young minister from Louisiana and then long-time best friend Dr. Bob Fowler of Toronto. They raised a daughter and son who later produced a grandson and granddaughter. In 2001, Anne retired, closed her company, Hamilton Enterprises, and left behind a thirty year career in Human Resources. 

She relocated to El Progreso, Honduras to volunteer at a clinic where care is provided for patients who lack the funds to be treated elsewhere. During this time, Anne developed the Visiting Doctor program for international ophthalmologists, started the Healthy Living Education project in local elementary schools, and helped with a variety of clinic and community activities. In 2006, after purchasing property in the small north coast village of El Porvenir, she built Hamilton Benest House, a home providing accommodation for visiting dentists, doctors, teachers, and other volunteers. Her major program in 2021 is Phase Two of the

Healthy Living Program. This annual dental program, conducted by two Canadian dental teams, provides dental care for over 1,000 elementary school students in the area. Anne’s programs continue to thrive and she has continued to develop community initiatives designed to improve the lives of Hondurans. Anne divides her year between El Porvenir and her Haliburton cottage north of Toronto.

Book - I’ve Worn Many Hats

Get ready to experience a roller coaster ride of emotions!

Laughter, sadness, empathy, outrage. Canadian Anne Hamilton Fowler appeared to have it all. However, life is not always as idyllic as it seems and at age twenty a series of events almost destroyed her. Emerging from the wreckage she reinvented herself, started over, and proceeded to live on the edge with a risk-taking lifestyle. Then in 1993, an event experienced during a trip to Central America changed everything.

“I’ve Worn Many Hats” is an inspirational read that demonstrates our human frailties, one’s ability to survive personal adversity, and how we can learn to forgive both ourselves and others. It is a story of redemption.

Anne Fowler is a retired Canadian who divides the year between her Haliburton summer cottage and Central America. This memoir is her first book and all proceeds will go to support Anne’s ongoing humanitarian work in Honduras.

I began my writing career in the health care field, and sold my first freelance humor pieces by age 22 to the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, the scrappy underdog newspaper to the Los Angeles Times.

Since then, I’ve written 5 books, including my memoirs Bylines and Blessings and The Skeptic and the Rabbi, both works of my heart. I’m an award-winning columnist for the Jewish Journal, where my work earned First Place in Commentary from the American Jewish Press Association’s Simon Rockower Awards, and Second Place for Book Reviews from the L.A. Press Club’s Southern California Journalism Awards, both in 2024.

My work has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, Boston Globe, New York Daily News, Los Angeles Times, Aish.com, Jewish Action, Chabad.org, and many other outlets.

I also love working with writers as a book coach, guiding them as they realize their visions of a professionally written and edited book. I’ve worked with writers on memoirs, as well as on Jewish philosophy, business communications, alternative health journeys, and more.

To me, writing is almost as essential as breathing. It is a privilege and joy for me to be able to share my writing with a receptive audience.

This is the part where I brag about myself.

Not because I want to inflate my ego but because it’s important for you to be reassured that I’m credible and that I’m a real, world-class expert.

I grew up in Europe and lived in five different countries (including the US) before moving to Canada, now home. My accent when I speak English is a mix, but most people hear it as a French accent.

I hold a Master of Science in Psychology from Yale University and have been directly trained or worked with some of the biggest names and early Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) developers.

I’m a World-Renowned Coach and Personal Development Expert, having been featured in many prominent French national, primetime TV shows.

Over more than two decades, I’ve helped more than 110,000 French-speaking people from 157 countries dramatically achieve goals they thought were unattainable.

After a particularly painful turning point in my life, I created and developed The Decoding Grid™: a revolutionary clarity and decision-making process to tackle complex and high-cost-of-failure life decisions.

Since then, I’ve been on a new Life Mission to share it with the world and help people reach Decision Harmony and make the Right Decision every single time.

I’m convinced that we all have a unique gift to offer to the world and that aligning with it means living your Life’s Purpose. The Decoding Grid™ is my gift.

When I’m not helping women make the Right Decision, I’m passionate about and an avid practitioner of many sports: snowboarding, kitesurfing, snowkiting, e-skateboarding, and wing foiling. If it slides or glides (preferably sideways), I’m probably doing it!

In this poignant, delicious memoir, American tax preparer and food writer Steve Hoffman tells the story of how he and his family move to the French countryside, where the locals upend everything he knows about food, wine, and learning how to belong.

Steve Hoffman is a perfectly comfortable middle-aged Minnesotan man who has always been desperately, pretentiously in love with France, more specifically with the idea of France. To follow that love, he and his family move, nearly at random, to the small, rural, scratchy-hot village of Autignac in the south of the country, and he immediately thinks he’s made a terrible mistake. Life here is not holding your cigarette chest-high while walking to the café and pulling off the trick of pretending to be Parisian, it’s getting into fights with your wife because you won’t break character and introduce your very American family to the locals, who can smell you and your perfect city-French from a mile away.

An American-French-Israeli hybrid, I write about identity, language, home. While raising kids in the San Francisco Bay Area at the dawning of the internet, I worked as copy editor/editor/content writer for BabyCenter, PlanetRx, and many other now obsolete .coms. But I dreamed of seeing my name on paper, in print, eventually writing for Parenting, Parents, Natural Solutions, Scholastic, Woman’s Day, Real Simple. Then, in the early 2000s, something else caught my eye: the back-page essays. 

Who were these first-person voices and how did they tell such moving stories? Curious and on the opposite coast, I enrolled in a creative nonfiction class: one, which led to another, and then another, finally culminating in my MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. Thank you so much to each of my mentors for teaching me something different and dear, for bolstering me to walk this path as writer.

When American-born Jennifer falls in love with French-born Philippe during the First Intifada in Israel, she understands their relationship isn’t perfect. Both 23, both Jewish, they lead very different lives: she’s a secular tourist, he’s an observant immigrant. Despite their opposing outlooks on two fundamental issues—country and religion—they are determined to make it work. For the next 20 years, they root and uproot their growing family, each longing for a singular place to call home. In Places We Left Behind, Jennifer puts her marriage under a microscope, examining commitment and compromise, faith and family while moving between prose and poetry, playing with language and form, daring the reader to read between the lines.

Distributed through Ingram, the book is available on Vine Leaves Press store, Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, and more.

Lev Levitski, devoted son and upright young man, walks the path of Jewish observance without giving it a second thought. But one day in college, Lev encounters Angela Pizatto, a dark-haired knockout, and suddenly, what used to mean everything to him is no longer enough.

Angela pulls Lev from a cloistered and prudish existence into a passionate romance that must remain a secret because she is Catholic and he is Jewish. As the young lovers gallivant throughout Brooklyn, and as their devotion to each other builds, they realize that they are headed toward a pivotal crossroad. Can they possibly overcome the seemingly insurmountable differences in their backgrounds? It is a question they must confront if they are ever to have a shared future.

Layered into this love story are themes about identity and longing:  how desire—what traditional Judaism calls the Evil Inclination of the title—can define who we think we are.  It’s a novel not only about the challenge to balance the burdens of tradition against the power of passion, but also about the struggle to understand how the people we fall for can change us in profound and unexpected ways.

Meet the author, Lincoln.

Own your copy of the book about which Treehouse series author Andy Griffiths declared, “I love a good villain and how much more villainous can you get than Shade Man.”

Reading his story out to a crowd of over 100 people was an experience Lincoln will never forget, but it became much more than that single event.

The story of hope, teamwork, and combatting negative with positive and kindness came to life through his main character, Sprout, and the seed for what became Sprout’s Idea began to grow.

Lincoln is proof that anyone can harness the power of story to make a difference in the world.

It is his hope that anyone who reads Sprout’s Idea will be more conscious of the words they speak and their actions around others.

Meet the illustrator, Cara.

Cara is an illustrator and book designer who lives in her little house in Sydney, with her loving husband and two gorgeous dogs.

I am a qualified journalist who has written for a number of newspapers, magazines and e-zines and am what you would call a jack of all trades.

I ‘published’ my first book when I was in my final year of primary school. It was aptly called School Journal Part 4 Number 2 and had a strong ocean theme, with short stories, articles and poetry about sea life. It featured a cardboard cover that held stapled paper pages and this was the first and only time I have ever accompanied my words with illustrations (and for good reason…).

An avid bookworm beforehand, this project earned me an A++ and provided the initial spark for a future career in writing.

Rain, hail, or shine, they always received their papers and being in the land of the long white cloud, it often meant arriving home from deliveries soaked-through.

Fast forward to today and I have been a professional storyteller since 2007. My first era was as a qualified print media journalist. My second era as an award-winning nonfiction book ghostwriter and writing mentor began in 2018.

Since then, I have had the privilege of assisting people of all ages and all walks of life to showcase their expertise or share their incredible life stories in books that are changing the world. I have helped each and every one of them move through the perceived challenges that prevent many from taking the first steps to authorship.

Helping people to find their spark and become brave enough to share it with the world is my fuel. Guiding people to find their voice and share their message in a powerful way that connects and transforms is my why. Processing large volumes of information and a lifetime worth of stories is my passion. Providing guidance and structured order to the myriad ideas buzzing around in the mind of an aspiring author is my gift.

Making ghostwriting clients feel safe during my interviews (and knowing which questions to prompt them with) is my superpower.

Whether it’s ‘How to make $1 million’ or ‘My journey through breast cancer’, every book has the potential to resonate deeply with people if it is crafted in the right way and written from the heart.

I look forward to supporting you in any way you need to get the story off your heart and into the world, where it can serve, change lives, inspire, educate and even give your bank account a healthy boost!

Kathy Bolte is an International Yoga Teacher, Mantra Meditation Teacher, Kīrtan Musician, Retreat Leader, and facilitator of Women’s Wisdom Circles. She is a featured writer for Elephant Journal, an online publication dedicated to the mindful life.

An avid mountain biker, Kathy hits the bike trails of Southern California at least twice a week. She loves working with her two Border Collies in the extraordinarily fun and challenging sport of dog agility. She lives in Riverside, California with her husband, their three dogs, and their 19-year-old cat.

Book: Ringo's Rainbow Journey: A Memoir of Our Border Collie's Return to His Soul Family - Kathy’s husband, George, yearned for a Border Collie. This is the story of the birth and life of their beloved Ringo, the transition out of his body and rebirth as little Nina, a female Border Collie.

As Ringo, and their matriarchal cat, Solo, faced health challenges and moved toward their end-of-life, Kathy and George were referred to Amanda Reister, a gifted pet communicator, to learn how best to care for their aging pets. Suddenly, everything changed.

The conversations they’ve had with each of their pets, through Amanda, were nothing short of miraculous and completely changed their paradigm. The wisdom, joy, and depth of understanding revealed caused them to view each pet as the uniquely wise being they truly are. It was Ringo, who urged Kathy to write his memoir. Through Amanda he shared his important life lessons for us humans.

Bodies come and go, but the Soul is eternal. Gender fluidity is natural and normal. Soul Families are real. Return to them if you can. And the most important lesson of all, which is to simply love one another.

As Ringo, and their matriarchal cat, Solo, faced health challenges and moved toward their end-of-life, Kathy and George were referred to Amanda Reister, a gifted pet communicator, to learn how best to care for their aging pets. Suddenly, everything changed.

The conversations they’ve had with each of their pets, through Amanda, were nothing short of miraculous and completely changed their paradigm. The wisdom, joy, and depth of understanding revealed caused them to view each pet as the uniquely wise being they truly are. It was Ringo, who urged Kathy to write his memoir. Through Amanda he shared his important life lessons for us humans.

Bodies come and go, but the Soul is eternal. Gender fluidity is natural and normal. Soul Families are real. Return to them if you can. And the most important lesson of all, which is to simply love one another.

As a business growth strategist, I coach entrepreneurial women in their 50s and beyond (and a few good men) who are ready to grow their impact and income through new revenue streams by helping them grow their audience BEFORE launching a program or service.

As an event design consultant and executive Zoom producer, I partner with speakers and in-house event teams to design inclusive, engaging, and transformative event experiences, whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid. I train speakers and the team, and handle all the virtual tech. My goal is to help you lower your stress. I've been producing events in one form or another since I was in college in the 90s and providing business growth strategy advice for nearly as long.

These skills combine to create a book launch strategy coach who coaches entrepreneurs to build a launch team of 150+ likely prospects and referral partners, get 50+ Amazon reviews, and host a virtual book launch party that creates a pipeline for their next offer. Conversations with prospects lead to new revenue, which is a measure of success you can take to the bank!

I was invited to do a TEDx on my signature networking technique, “croissants vs. bagels”

I published three books that have received over 650 Amazon reviews
I’ve hosted the On the Schmooze podcast since 2016

When the pandemic shuttered events I swiftly reinvented myself from networking expert to industry expert in the field of virtual event design. I then built a multi six-figure business based on all-new revenue streams

Caryl Hallberg is a USA citizen living in Portugal.
Her home in Tomar, Portugal is an 800 year old stable located just below
the Convento de Cristo castle and parklands. She shares her home with a
podengo named Rosey, and a blue point siamese named Banda. 

Her personal interests have to do with children, family, animals, health,

agricultural sustainability, and higher levels of conscious living. She is herself a single parent of a now amazing adult son, and has been challenged by several serious illnesses. Caryl discovered through these experiences that there are ways of viewing reality that are more productive and evolved than others. In her role as a Pantheist Minister, Caryl approaches everything as containing divinity.

Caryl is the author of Rich Board, Poor Board, Your Diet Success Plan:
Lower Your Weight and Elevate your Health and Happiness, and of the
forthcoming book Navigating to Joy: 11 Steps Mapping Your Personal Path to Fulfillment.
She has authored fantasy fiction novels under a pseudonym since 1971. 

With the launch of her new novel, A Brush With Mortality, Caryl is offering her first work of fiction under her own name. This is also her first work in  the genre of psychological suspense mystery.


Book: A Brush With Mortality: Life, Death, And Erotic Exploration With Just A Dash Of Mystery

By all outward appearances she's just a typical woman going through menopause at the turn of the century, She is living in a stale and distant marriage, her grown kids are living their own lives, with a psychological and sexual itch she hasn't felt in years that needs to be scratched. What are the secrets this Executive of a Hospice nonprofit keeps?

Even she doesn't know for sure -
Her journey explores meaning through death, erotic adventure, mystery and those thoughts and actions we would rather keep hidden. Letty Mae takes on what it means to be a female of 50 when the new century's reality does not fit with your view of the world. Luckily, she has a guide, in the form of an elite bisexual patriarch, who must, in the end, die.

Gina DeMillo Wagner is an award-winning journalist and author. Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, Washington Post, Memoir Magazine, Modern Loss, Self, Outside, Writer’s Digest, and other publications.

She is a Yaddo Fellow, a winner of the CRAFT Creative Nonfiction Award, and her memoir was longlisted for the 2022 SFWP Literary prize. Gina has a master’s degree in journalism and is an instructor at Lighthouse Writers Workshop. She lives and works near Boulder, Colorado.

Forces of Nature: A Memoir of Family, Loss and Finding Home

Gina DeMillo Wagner’s brother Alan had a rare genetic disorder that caused him to veer from loving to violent. When Alan died suddenly, Gina was pulled away from the safety of her adult life and thrust back into a family she has been estranged from for nearly ten years.

FORCES OF NATURE follows this rewinding of the past, Gina’s caregiving journey and reckoning with complicated grief, plus Alan’s Christmas-themed funeral, and an investigation into his cause of death. It’s a personal story that asks universal questions: How much of ourselves should we sacrifice to those we love? And, what forces shape our sense of family and home?

Let me Introduce Myself

As a foster parent & adoptive mom, I went from newlywed to a family of 6 seemingly overnight. My deep dive experience with at-risk youth and trauma parenting has been a sink or swim adventure!

Stephen Murray is a Las Vegas author. Praised for his unique writing style and powerful character development skills, his books cross multiple genres and appeals to diverse audiences.

Stephen was born in England, a far cry from the Nevada desert he now calls home. At age seven, his family relocated to the southern part of Africa, where he was raised in various countries and attended boarding school. The opportunity to experience other cultures as a child inspired a love of travel in him that eventually led to his love of the written word.

In his late teens, he returned to London and spent seven years absorbing as much art, music, culture, and countryside as he could. While living in England, he also seized the opportunity to explore neighboring countries and cultures throughout Europe. In 1976, a job opportunity brought him across the pond to Los Angeles, California. He happily lived there many years, eventually opening his own business.

In 2003, Stephen once again was drawn to something new. He left L.A. to escape the congested commutes that became part of his daily life and migrated to Las Vegas, Nevada. He quickly fell in love with the city, its caring communities and kind people.

Stephen has visited over 40 countries across 5 continents as an insatiable explorer of the globe. He found he enjoyed the quiet, untouched and less commercialized destinations of the world the most, such as Bhutan, Machu Picchu, Victoria Falls, and the Galapagos Islands. They provided inspiration and insight that remained with him long after the trips ended.In 2007, he started writing down the stories from his travels as a way to keep a record of all the places he’d visited and the people he’d met. He spent two years capturing his experiences on paper. Through this process he discovered a passion for writing.

He has since published several well-regarded books in the genres of mainstream fiction, murder mystery, holiday fiction and crime fiction. His work has earned a variety of awards and accolades by nationally recognized organizations.

In addition to being a published author, a public speaker, and an advocate for a variety of causes, Stephen was a partner in a software development and support company, which he originally founded in California in 1982.

In 2023, Stephen began hosting his own weekly TV series on WWDBTV titled ‘The Gift of Giving.’ He features guests involved in non-profits, foundations, 501c3 organizations and charities in the state of Nevada.

I’m Andrea Heckner, and I am an author of Crime Thriller Books. I live in Wisconsin with my husband, David. We have three grown sons and three grandchildren.

Here’s my why for writing: I became an avid reader as a teenager and love to lose myself in a great story, but that is not where my story begins. My story begins with a young girl who struggled to learn to read due to having Dyslexia. Thanks to parents, educators and tutors who were dedicated to helping me to become literate, I was able to not only learn to read and write but to find a true passion in literacy.

After starting as a Special Education Teacher, I realized how little I knew about teaching others to read and went back to school. Becoming a Reading Specialist and Literacy Coach allowed me to be able to help other children to become readers and writers. Participating in the National Writing Project helped me to not only become a stronger teacher of writing but also to develop my voice as a writer.

Thanks for visiting; feel free to get in touch if you have questions about my books, and don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter to be one of the first to get updates.

Secrets in the Heartland Series
This series of Mystery/Thriller fiction books follows Detective Kass Minor and FBI Agent Robert Matthews as they work to solve crimes in and around the Springfield, Missouri, region of the United States.

Book 1-The Farm

Have you ever wondered how an ordinary person could know and interact with a serial killer and not know it until it was too late? The Farm, book one in The Murder in the Heartland series, centers on the disappearance of Kelsey Learner, a seemingly ordinary midwestern single mom.

Parallel to the investigation into Kelsey’s disappearance, a pair of serial killers are murdering in the area for what they perceive to be a higher good. Police have yet to connect their victims and, in some cases, even know they are missing. Is Kelsey their latest victim, or is it a coincidence that a serial killer couple is on the loose and Kelsey has vanished?

Book 2- Dismantling the Farm

FBI Agent Robert Matthews came from a long line of civil servants, but it was his grandfather’s love of a 1930s movie about the FBI that had made being an agent Robert’s dream. He had visions of car chases, gun fights, and media releases that featured his name. Instead, he got assigned to the Springfield, Missouri field office, where he spent his days doing paperwork, going out on investigative interviews, testifying in court, or practicing firearms use and defensive tactics. When he is assigned to look into the disappearance of a young man as a favor to a friend of the Assistant Director of the FBI, no one could have predicted how big the case would be.

Book 3-Remembering the Farm

The third book in the Secrets in the Heartland series brings the reader back to answer some of their lingering questions. When two boys go missing in Springfield, Detective Kass Minor must move fast to try to bring them home safely. Working with a new partner who is no Mitch Leet, she has no idea what this investigation will reveal.

Is Kelsey Learner still alive, or did she perish at the hands of the serial killers? Will learning the truth help Claire to move forward in her life?

About Lynne
Lynne Shaner has been captivated by fantasy, myth, and fairy tales since childhood, when her mother first read Charlotte’s Web and The Wind in the Willows to her. She lives in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, close enough to Lake Michigan to walk to the shoreline every day.

Shelves overflowing with books line her home, and there is always a knitting project on her needles. Lynne lives with her husband, and Merlin, her small, adorable pup. When not writing, she can be found reading and knitting in her garden, where she grows herbs, flowers and story ideas. Her work has appeared in various literary magazines. She holds a master’s degree in creative writing/fiction from Johns Hopkins. This is her debut novel.

Journey to Everland Bay
Jemma Avalon, an unconventional mage-in-training, longs to return to Everland Bay, her ancestral homeland, and find a way to join the renowned magical research institute there, like the women in her family before her.

Daughter of a gentle part elf-fae mother and a father with fiery dragon blood, an unusual combination even in the magical world, ten years after her mother’s sudden death, she is working at a major museum in DC, where magic is all but outlawed. Her father wants her to assimilate and live without magic, but Jemma is determined to fully embrace her heritage.

When an ordinary day at the museum takes an extraordinary turn, Jemma is rocketed to an Everland Bay Institute under violent siege, where dark-arts mages threaten everything important to her. Once there, she joins forces with her companions and works feverishly to save Everland Bay from crumbling under enemy attack. In so doing, she finds a path to her own strength and mastery, and her heart’s true home.

A Heroine’s Journey for our times.

“A beautifully engaging fantasy teeming with dragons, fae, magic and the importance of family and friendship. A joy to read from beginning to end. I found myself rooting for our main heroine, Jemma, as she grew into a wonderful and powerful young woman. I am already looking forward to the next work in this thrilling series!” – Julie Boglisch, author of The Elifer Chronicles, The Requiem of Stones series and her standalone, Ghost of a Memory.

I’ve been writing stories ever since my grandmother gifted me a typewriter when I was six. My first story was a two-page Nancy Drew fanfiction—to my young mind, it made sense for her to find the bad guy hiding under the bed!

As a kid, I loved mysteries. My favorite series was The Three Investigators, which is sadly out of print today. I was especially fascinated by all the secret codes the protagonists used and how Jupiter Jones (what a name!) would use his acting skills to pretend he was stupid when he needed to get information. And of course, there would always be a scene near the end where the bad guys kidnapped one or more of the boys to try to keep their secrets hidden.

Although I read and write stories for teens and adults now, I still love a good kidnapping scene. I also love writing powerful villains who will do anything to keep their secrets hidden, falsely accused people (sometimes framed by their enemies!) who must race against time to clear their names before they end up in jail, and underdog heroes who are determined to find and expose horrifying truths despite the potential consequences.

Many of my darkest stories come from my devastating personal experiences with trauma, drug addiction and abuse. I had a fairly normal childhood. But when I grew up I lived and loved a drug addict and was lucky to escape with my life. He was not—he died of an overdose two days after I moved across the country. It was another five years before I learned I was both autistic and transgender, which shattered my worldview in some ways even though it made everything that came before make sense.

I had many careers while I was trying to figure it all out, most recently as a licensed master social worker. I’ve worked with traumatized people, drug or alcohol addicts, and people impacted by the criminal justice system.

One summer I worked at an alternative court system in New York City. It opened my eyes to the ways racism and homo/transphobia, trauma, and drug use often intersect to create a “justice” system that is stacked against certain groups of people.

For all these reasons, I write mystery/thrillers that not only keep people guessing but also inspire and empower trauma survivors. All of my characters have experienced traumatic violence but don’t let that stop them from fighting for justice.

I love it when readers tell me that my books helped them heal. I also tell the stories I do to advocate for real-world change to the criminal justice system.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you take an interest in writers and writing. And I'm glad you love books.

I'm a native of Western North Carolina, home to the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in English with honors in creative writing and then pursued a career as a professional journalist for over 20 years, working in print and television journalism.

My lifelong interest in archaeology and all things medieval led me to a mid-life career change. I earned a second degree in anthropology at Western Carolina University followed by a Master’s Degree in Medieval Archaeology from the University of York in the UK.  I was 50 years old when I graduated. I know! I know! It sounds crazy, but it was one of those things I just had to do. I try to go back to the UK to participate in excavations as often as I can. I love to stay in York, my favorite city, and volunteer with the York Archaeological Trust. You can find them here. Two of my favorite places to stay in York are the Adams House and the Bar Convent.

My novels are set in 14th century England, France, and Germany. It's fascinating, it's hard, and it's fun.

I love getting stuck down rabbit holes finding facts that will add to my story and authenticate my characters and location.

When I'm writing, I'm usually accompanied by my yellow Lab Sally. Sally is like a toddler – she follows me wherever I go. Most of the time she's looking for a handout.

I'm happiest when I'm writing and the magic moment occurs – the words sing and the hairs go up on the back of my neck. It's been a long road, but I'm pleased that at long last after two marriages, two children, nineteen jobs, three college degrees, and twenty-seven moves (one of which was abroad), I have a room of my own in which to write. Virginia Woolf would be proud.

]]> EPISODE 411 - Lorraine Norwood - My Characters Speak To Me - Letting The Story Lead

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you take an interest in writers and writing. And I'm glad you love books.

I'm a native of Western North Carolina, home to the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in English with honors in creative writing and then pursued a career as a professional journalist for over 20 years, working in print and television journalism.

My lifelong interest in archaeology and all things medieval led me to a mid-life career change. I earned a second degree in anthropology at Western Carolina University followed by a Master’s Degree in Medieval Archaeology from the University of York in the UK.  I was 50 years old when I graduated. I know! I know! It sounds crazy, but it was one of those things I just had to do. I try to go back to the UK to participate in excavations as often as I can. I love to stay in York, my favorite city, and volunteer with the York Archaeological Trust. You can find them here. Two of my favorite places to stay in York are the Adams House and the Bar Convent.

My novels are set in 14th century England, France, and Germany. It's fascinating, it's hard, and it's fun.

I love getting stuck down rabbit holes finding facts that will add to my story and authenticate my characters and location.

When I'm writing, I'm usually accompanied by my yellow Lab Sally. Sally is like a toddler – she follows me wherever I go. Most of the time she's looking for a handout.

I'm happiest when I'm writing and the magic moment occurs – the words sing and the hairs go up on the back of my neck. It's been a long road, but I'm pleased that at long last after two marriages, two children, nineteen jobs, three college degrees, and twenty-seven moves (one of which was abroad), I have a room of my own in which to write.

He specializes in stories of Ireland and Scotland, but is equally comfortable talking and singing about growing up in Indiana, pirates, history and more. 

Gary Blaine Randolph is an award-winning writer and storyteller. Over his career he has been a software company owner, a college professor, and a web developer. And always he has been writing and telling stories.

His storytelling weaves together a mix of stories, songs, poems, and jokes for audiences of any age. He specializes in stories of Ireland and Scotland, of pirates and princesses, of growing up in down home Indiana.

He has presented programs to adults and children, Irish festivals, luncheon groups, churches, fairs, senior groups, office parties, and schools.

Gary's books include Stories From Celtic Lands, the whimsical Galactic Detective Agency series, and more.

Whenever she isn’t writing, she’s either taking obscenely long walks, watching Disney movies, playing video games, reading, or drinking hot chocolate (sometimes many of those things at once). While she doesn’t write as her full-time job, she likes to put the people and places that live in her head on paper, and she hopes on the off chance that other people like her stories as much as she does.

About the author
Kathryn Betts Adams, MSW, PhD grew up in St. Paul. Minnesota and now lives in West Hartford, Connecticut. After a decade of clinical social work practice in mental health, nursing home, and substance abuse settings, she served on the faculty of Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where she taught social work practice with adults and older adults and received tenure in 2011. She has published over 40 research papers about family caregiving, geriatric depression, loneliness, and other aging-related topics. In recent years, she has written popular essays about aging and caregiving and her recent memoir about caring for her parents. Kathryn and her husband have two grown children, one grandson, and two cats.

Book: The Pianist’s Only Daughter: A Memoiris a frank, humorous, and poignant exploration of aging in an aging expert's own family. Kathryn Betts Adams was the only daughter of colorful and talented parents: her mother, an English scholar and poet, and her father, a concert pianist and music professor. Their dramatic emotional lives, marital instability, and eventual break-up provided the backdrop for her 1960s and ‘70s youth.

Nearly thirty years after they were divorced, her newly single father and her never-remarried mother, by then diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, have reconciled and decided to live together again. As her mother’s condition deteriorates, Kathryn has to step in to help manage her care. Despite her expertise as a gerontological social worker, she finds that old family dynamics and disappointing limitations to available services for older adults make every care decision a difficult one. In the face of sometimes overwhelming responsibility, Kathryn marshals available resources to help her parents maintain their quality of life and unique humanity despite the relentless effects of time and chronic illness.

Grounded in insights about health and mental health, The Pianist’s Only Daughter touches on universal themes of aging, parent-child relationships, artistic expression, love, and loss through the intimate story of one family.

~~~

**A Winner of the 2024 PenCraft Seasonal Book Award Spring Competition in the non-fiction, memoir genre.**

"It’s both a beautiful narrative history of your/our parents’ era and creative life, as well as the bittersweet, difficult decline of our loved ones and the challenges of caregiving all at once. Brava!" ~Ginger McKnight-Chavers, Author of In the Heart of Texas: A Novel

About the author

Corey Croft is from Surrey BC, Canada. His use of gallows humor helps to him stumble gracefully in a meaningless world. He avoids eye contact with strangers and doesn’t understand most kinds of science. As a child he was taken to church every Sunday and worried that every time it rained it would flood, biblically. As an adult, the rain is pretty good for writing and sleeping.

Book: Scumbag Rehab - You hear all kinds of stories in a bar. All kinds of characters with all kinds of experiences. Booze is a mighty fuel. It brings out the best in some and the worst in every one else. If you post up on a barstool long enough, you might hear someone’s entire life story, whether you asked for it or not.

If that barstool happens to be plugged into the wood at the Knowlton Tavern, then the story you would be hearing might belong to James ‘Feb’ February. Only at a dive bar full of the most desperate, strange societal castaways could an individual such as him share a story like his. https://amzn.to/4eu3m8T

Book: Becoming Buddha - Most self-help books will describe remedies and issue lessons to escape the perverted spiral of depression and anxiety. They will aim at improving the quality of one's life and inform choices and states of mind that nurture a healthy and productive psyche. https://amzn.to/3Rx5CCw

Book: The Furies - The Furies is a coming of age dark young adult fiction that takes place in the mid 1990's. It draws influences from the hip-hop culture and contains many references of the time. It is a nostalgic and gritty look at the urban underbelly of youth culture and the vulnerability of the working-class at the time. It is a harrowing tale, yet easy to relate for anyone who has ever been a teenager and experienced love, hate, pride and fear. It is a must for readers of any literary fiction genre; with compelling characters, realistic dialogue and the vivid scenery of the city. It is both heartfelt and hard-hitting, poignant and charming. https://amzn.to/4cplKhw

Book: Coward: A Novel - Sam is not a coward; he is a perfect coward.He is depressed, lonely and all but set on living out his life in numb mediocrity. Lucy is a strange and powerful man with a bizarre and nefarious interest in Sammy. After a ‘chance’ meeting, Lucy gifts Sam with abilities far greater than anything his uncreative imagination could’ve ever dreamed of. For his part, Sam must learn to control this mysterious power by either rising above his weaknesses or giving in to them entirely.

]]> Episode 403 - Corey Croft - Never be boring - I have a passion for storytelling fueled by black coffee, cigarettes, and dread 

About the author

Corey Croft is from Surrey BC, Canada. His use of gallows humor helps to him stumble gracefully in a meaningless world. He avoids eye contact with strangers and doesn’t understand most kinds of science. As a child he was taken to church every Sunday and worried that every time it rained it would flood, biblically. As an adult, the rain is pretty good for writing and sleeping.

Book: Scumbag Rehab - You hear all kinds of stories in a bar. All kinds of characters with all kinds of experiences. Booze is a mighty fuel. It brings out the best in some and the worst in every one else. If you post up on a barstool long enough, you might hear someone’s entire life story, whether you asked for it or not.

If that barstool happens to be plugged into the wood at the Knowlton Tavern, then the story you would be hearing might belong to James ‘Feb’ February. Only at a dive bar full of the most desperate, strange societal castaways could an individual such as him share a story like his. https://amzn.to/4eu3m8T

Book: Becoming Buddha - Most self-help books will describe remedies and issue lessons to escape the perverted spiral of depression and anxiety. They will aim at improving the quality of one's life and inform choices and states of mind that nurture a healthy and productive psyche. https://amzn.to/3Rx5CCw

Book: The Furies - The Furies is a coming of age dark young adult fiction that takes place in the mid 1990's. It draws influences from the hip-hop culture and contains many references of the time. It is a nostalgic and gritty look at the urban underbelly of youth culture and the vulnerability of the working-class at the time. It is a harrowing tale, yet easy to relate for anyone who has ever been a teenager and experienced love, hate, pride and fear. It is a must for readers of any literary fiction genre; with compelling characters, realistic dialogue and the vivid scenery of the city. It is both heartfelt and hard-hitting, poignant and charming. https://amzn.to/4cplKhw

Book: Coward: A Novel - Sam is not a coward; he is a perfect coward.He is depressed, lonely and all but set on living out his life in numb mediocrity. Lucy is a strange and powerful man with a bizarre and nefarious interest in Sammy. After a ‘chance’ meeting, Lucy gifts Sam with abilities far greater than anything his uncreative imagination could’ve ever dreamed of. For his part, Sam must learn to control this mysterious power by either rising above his weaknesses or giving in to them entirely.

Hannah Levin (she/her) is a neurodivergent dog mom from the East Coast, USA. By day, she writes repetitive marketing copy to pay the bills, and by night, she writes fantasy romance/Romantasy to feed fellow romantics and dreamers. She has several projects in the works at any given time. You can connect with Hannah over Instagram and Threads @authorhlevin; she loves to hear from readers!

Experienced readers and writers will know that it takes time to develop a writing voice. However, Hannah would describe her style as fresh, easy reading with a balance of plot and spice, relatable characters, and gradual relationship development. She's a big fan of a slow burn and always strives to bring an element of realism to her books, no matter how far-fetched the plot. Additionally, she enjoys writing standalones for other readers with a short attention span who don't often have the energy for long, intensive series with deep lore and large-scale world building.

Book: The Treasured One: A Fae Fantasy Romance - Forced to choose between loyalty and love...

Avery is a Golden Child with the ability to heal any illness or injury. She lives a sheltered life, dutifully healing hopefuls from around the globe. Although she dreams of freedom, she fears disrupting the status quo—that is, until her powers go on the fritz, threatening her health and her relationship with her government caretakers.

In search of answers, Avery travels through The Rift to the realm of the fae, intimidatingly beautiful beings with powers humans don’t understand. Their prince, Riel, has motivations of his own when he agrees to teach her about her rare magic. But as they work together, the two are drawn to each other.

Just as Avery manages to unlock the full potential of her powers, a betrayal shakes Riel’s House, putting pressure on the already tenuous relationship between humans and the fae. Caught in the middle, Avery and Riel will have to decide what matters most to them: loyalty to their respective nations, or their feelings for one another.

This debut novel from Hannah Levin will appeal to those new to the Romantasy genre as well as seasoned Romantasy fans who enjoy adventure and world-building, such as that in A DEAL WITH THE ELF KING and THE CRUEL PRINCE, and sweet, slow-burn romance like Grace Draven's RADIANCE.

Chris is here to talk about how to work with a voice over talent for your next audiobook - Chris has many credits to his name (voice) and he is available to work with you!

Chris' voiceover career began innocuously enough by recording producer tags for a local indie musician.

Having spent 4 years in morning radio, Chris is your go-to guy for smooth, velvety narration as well as punchy, intense branding. No project is out of his comfort zone, as his versatility suits audiobooks, , corporate narration,  commercials, or anything you can think of. his enthusiastic and professional approach ensures you receive a product of the utmost quality in a very timely manner.

Reviews

“I cannot recommend Chris enough. Not only is he insanely talented, but he’s also incredibly easy to work with. He takes a collaborative approach with the author, and truly cares about making sure the end product is the highest possible quality. I literally cannot imagine anyone else being able to do what Chris did with my litany of different characters and their various accents. He’s a one man theater troupe with a naturally incredible narrator voice. I could seriously listen to him read takeout menus. You will not regret working with him. I want him to narrate every novel that I write.

-E.S. Oliver 

“Chris was amazing to work with. My book had quite a few versatile characters with different voices. He was able to keep characters separate as well as narrating with inflection and articulation. Chris brought the book to life rather than just ‘reading through it’ as some narrators tend to do. I am more than happy with the results and I will be calling on Mr. Turek in the future.”

Rather than look back at the past with ill will, Dominick instead guides us to find humor and strength in our failures. Dominick lives by the age-old saying, “That which does not kill us, only makes us stronger.” He wrote the hit inspirational book, “Don’t Double Bread The Fish” coauthored and created The Amazon Bestseller “The Unofficial Guide to Fatherhood.”

Through Favorite Daughter Media, Sara uses her passion and talent to help mission-driven brands amplify their impact, proving that authentic storytelling and strategic marketing go hand in hand.

Open This Book: The Art of Storytelling for Aspiring Thought Leaders


Everybody has a story. They just don't know it yet.

Ever think that silly story you tell to break the ice could actually be a breakthrough for your career? Welcome to Open This Book: The Art of Storytelling for Aspiring Thought Leaders, where we're ditching the textbook definitions and embracing storytelling as the heart of authentic leadership.

This isn’t your average "how-to" guide. Imagine it as a heart-to-heart with a friend who’s seen their fair share of life’s plot twists and learned how careful word choice and a smooth delivery can turn chaos into clarity and mishaps into powerful messages.

Because the secret to being a thought leader–a content creator, podcaster, speaker, author–is knowing how to transform those "just another day" experiences into an arsenal for connecting in a world that’s scrolling past the same old content.

Open This Book is your backstage pass to understanding why storytelling isn’t just for the Shakespeares and Spielbergs of the world. Designed as part book, part journal (but no part textbook), this book is for anyone who’s ever had a “you can’t make this up” moment (and let’s be honest, who hasn’t?). From crafting your narrative to delivering it in a way that feels like a mic drop, we’ll explore the ins and outs of telling stories that connect, challenge, and change the game of leadership.

So, if you’re ready to turn your misadventures into your mission statement, you’ve come to the right place. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the best stories are hiding in plain sight—they just need a little nudge (or a full-on shove) into the spotlight.

This isn’t just about finding your voice; it’s about discovering that your voice, quirks and all, is exactly what the world’s been waiting to hear.
What are you waiting for? Open this book.

Grief is transformative.  It changes us, moulds us into something new.  It takes intention and reflection and being present to fully appreciate the metamorphosis, and to accept it, welcome it, turn towards it.

My mission is to give you a safe, comforting space to feel all the big feelings and conflicting emotions around the changes, losses or uncertainty you are facing.

I'll guide you through, ​I'll listen and I'll witness. 

Together we'll remember, we'll explore, we'll reframe, we'll tap into your creativity, we'll cry and we'll laugh.

My dad died after a long hospital stay and failure to thrive after several complicated surgeries. My 13 year old nephew died from a drug overdose on my daughters birthday.

In both of these incidents, I experienced beautiful kindness and emotional support from some and the painful recoil and avoidance from others.  The fear and discomfort of the latter stung in so many ways, adding little cuts to my emotionally bruised self. I dissected those cuts, those moments.  Intellectually, I knew they weren’t about me, but they pierced my core, they offended me still, and oh man, they HURT SO MUCH.  Grief is so isolating to begin with, and these made me spend most of my energy holding myself together, strapping my emotions in – all so I wouldn’t make others uncomfortable. 

And I learned that the pain subsided as I shifted my focus to the helpers.  

As Mr. Rogers says, “Look for the helpers. You’ll always find people who are helping.” Those who sat with me while I wept, unable to speak.  Those who held my hand, who took me to the airport, who watched Grace for a bit, who dropped off food, who remembered to ask me how I was and listen, even if I didn’t want to answer. 

The idea of holding space become more and more prominent in my creative work: I wrote and directed a short film about it, and am currently working on a Young Adult novel with this as a central theme.  I also trained as a coach in late 2019, and as we lived through the first wave of COVID and the lockdown of 2020, I realized that this was what I wanted to do.  

I want to hold space for people in pain.  Help them navigate the unchartered waters of loss and the uncertainty it brings.  Explore who they are now that they have been through this challenge, this bliss.  

Reveal to them that they are not broken, they are just beautifully, lovingly, painfully human.

I dissected those cuts, those moments.  Intellectually, I knew they weren’t about me, but they pierced my core, they offended me still, and oh man, they HURT SO MUCH.  Grief is so isolating to begin with, and these made me spend most of my energy holding myself together, strapping my emotions in – all so I wouldn’t make others uncomfortable. 

And I learned that the pain subsided as I shifted my focus to the helpers.  

As Mr. Rogers says, “Look for the helpers. You’ll always find people who are helping.” Those who sat with me while I wept, unable to speak.  Those who held my hand, who took me to the airport, who watched Grace for a bit, who dropped off food, who remembered to ask me how I was and listen, even if I didn’t want to answer. 

The idea of holding space become more and more prominent in my creative work: I wrote and directed a short film about it, and am currently working on a Young Adult novel with this as a central theme.  I also trained as a coach in late 2019, and as we lived through the first wave of COVID and the lockdown of 2020, I realized that this was what I wanted to do.  

I want to hold space for people in pain.  Help them navigate the unchartered waters of loss and the uncertainty it brings.  Explore who they are now that they have been through this challenge, this bliss.  

Reveal to them that they are not broken, they are just beautifully, lovingly, painfully human.

About Me

I am Julia. I have lived, volunteered and worked in the disability world for more than 25 years. I am a presenter at local and national conferences. I have written about personal lived experiences, communication, public policy, and advocacy. I know that everyone has something to say and that I can help them communicate and say what needs to be said. Our son, Dallin, is my muse who keeps me going in this realm. 

I have been known to run up and down mountains, and work in our rock-hard patch of dirt for hours, while taking pictures through it all. I have done yoga for more than 30 years and am now learning to do mindful meditation in my everyday moments.

I am a supporter of boutiques and antique shops all along the back roads. I find fun in big gatherings and peace in small one on one moments on our north lawn. I prefer action movies to chick flicks, thanks to decades of watching movies with the boys in my house, and will seek out the sun year round. 

I am married to the best man I know. He makes me laugh every day and look for the good in the world, even as we go through difficult experiences.

Book: The Boy Who Became More Than We Could Imagine

This memoir is a poignant and uplifting book that explores the life of Dallin, a young boy who was enchanted by music from the very beginning. From his earliest days as an infant, music was a source of joy and comfort, and it was always present in his life.

The author shares how, in 2013, music took on a new meaning for her after Dallin's passing. She struggled to listen to music without being overwhelmed with emotions. It took years before she could hear music again and let it bring back memories of Dallin and his love for music.

Through each chapter titled after a song, the author shares a story of Dallin's life and the experiences he had that made him the boy he was. From facing adversity to discovering new joys, Dallin lived a life that was full of music and rhythm.

This book is a tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of music to heal and inspire. It invites readers to join the author on a journey through Dallin's life and to be inspired by his love for music and his unwavering spirit. "The Boy Who Became More Than We Could Imagine; How Music brought rhythm and joy into a lifetime of illness, disability and constant change for an unstoppable human." is a book that will touch the hearts of readers and remind them of the importance of cherishing every moment.

EXTINCTION EVENT is a full-length fiction novel set in the present day that belongs in the speculative fiction / dystopian category. 

Story Synopsis

The main character – known only as LP – tries to reinvent himself by going back to school. With some help from his recording instructor and his friends, he discovers a mystery surrounding different ‘glitches’ heard with analog versus digital recordings of popular songs. He investigates further to discover an important figure from his past who built an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform called GAIA which is being used to spread false stories to the public but to also change the fate of the planet and its inhabitants.

Mythology ‘Easter Eggs’

This story is loaded with Easter Eggs related to different mythological sources and resources. Examples include:

  • Sylvie Hunter, a key character that embodies traits related to Artemis
  • John Atman, the all-knowing sage
  • The Muses
  • Aesop’s Fables and other animal tales
  • Prometheus and the Creation Myth
  • And much, much more

Climate Fiction: A New Category for Readers

This is a climate fiction, or ‘cli-fi’ story. As events transpire, the reader is brought into our world in environmental crises. There are several overlapping themes that are explored in Extinction Event, including:

  • AI electricity and water use and how it will soon strangle all of us given the current increases in demand for different AI tools.
  • The ‘sixth extinction’ that many scientists anticipate will start to close in on us, as all species of creatures on Earth face extinction because of human abuse of the planet.
  • Different economic and political arguments surrounding resource-based capitalism and why our pace of consumption is unsustainable.
  • Exploring the beauty of the different animal kingdoms that surround us and why they’re worth preserving.

Reviews

5/5: Whether “AI phobic” or not … this book will make you think

Bill Wittur’s first novel is a timely, creative and fast paced read. Imagine a world where an AI platform is asked to save the planet … and does (unfortunately for some of those who trained it). Drawing inspiration from current events and his own varied work experiences, Wittur plays with the “what if” scenarios and creates an AI heroine, GAIA, her evil taskmasters and the brilliant, committed engineer who unleashes a whole new kind of justice on earth and its inhabitants. A fun read!

5/5: Highly recommended!!

Was an excellent read! Great story and character development. It was a hard book to put down. On a side note, I also dug all the music references throughout. Do yourself a favour and grab a copy.

5/5: A fabulous read from cover to cover

What are ‘The Three Dimensions of Writing’? 

I named it the Three Dimensions because A) there are three, maybe I need to find a less creative field, and B) people want three dimensional stories and characters so this is how I create them.

Step 1: Every writer needs to read The Hero With A Thousand Faces.  It is done by Joseph Campbell who essentially breaks down why the oldest and most popular stories were the most popular stories and why they resonate today.  It is a deep book and to get the most out of it, you must take it as figuratively as you would literally.  So yeah step one is stolen, however, there is a reason.  

Many famous storytellers have gone through Campbells book, George Lucas being one of the biggest names, but another man, Dan Harmon, famous for his work on television shows like Community and Rick and Morty, took the concept and simplified it.  In some cases it is too simplified, and in others, Campbells is too complicated.  I believe that to understand the Monomyth and use it perfectly, it is important to understand both of these interpretations, and as many interpretations of the monomyth as possible.

Step 2: Ok so this one is completely mine.  So if you find flaws in my theory, this is probably the place where they pop up.  While I studied writing there was a ton to learn.  As a game designer I already had a ton to memorise in the field of game design.  So memorising everything that had to do with writing was a challenge.  I have three children and had their names memorised till the third one came around and now I can’t remember any of them.  However there were four words that popped up again and again and again.  They were active, reactive, internal, and external.  I put together a chart with these words and applied them to every level of storytelling.  

I divide my stories into the World, the Character, and the Story, and then divide it into levels: the Act, the Segment, the Scene, and the Beat.  Each of these 7 segments has these four words applied to them in different ways.  When you hear of second act fatigue, this is what gets me through it.  

At no point do I ever have to question what happens in a story next because this always points me in the direction of where I need my characters to go.

Step 3: Pacing is a term you will hear in writing.  I heard it everywhere, but I never truly understood it until I looked more into Shakespear.  Before Campbell, Shakespear created what is the first Writing Theory.  It was the 3 act structure.  With the monomyth I don't believe we really need the 3 act structure as a writing guide, however, I realized the 3 act structure was just a huge pacing curve.  So I combined them.  I was able to use the three act structure to map out the pacing curve and apply it to every bit of my stories.  This is important as pacing out your story is what is going to keep your audience engaged.  For the game designers out there, it is just like pacing out your Differences in Kind.

How to Be a Good Podcast Guest: Essential Tips

Being a good guest on a podcast is a fantastic way to share your message with a broad audience and build meaningful connections with both the hosts and listeners. A successful podcast interview benefits everyone involved, so it's crucial to come prepared and deliver your best performance. Here are some essential tips to help you shine as a podcast guest.

Preparation Tips

Listen to At Least Two Published Episodes

Before your interview, listen to at least two episodes of the podcast. This will help you understand the show's cadence and rhythm. Take note of any recurring questions, as there's a good chance the host will ask you similar ones.


Read Reviews of the Podcast
Check out audience reviews on platforms like iTunes or Spotify. These reviews can provide valuable insights into the audience's preferences and expectations, helping you tailor your message to resonate with them.


Prepare at Least Three Stories

Being a great podcast guest isn't just about answering questions; it's about storytelling. Prepare at least three engaging stories that reveal your personality and experiences. This will help you come across as natural and relatable.


Research the Topic, Host, and Other Guests

Do thorough research on the show's topic, the host's background, and any other guests who might join you. This preparation will enable you to engage in meaningful conversations and ask insightful questions, impressing both the host and the audience.


During the Show

Have a Proper Audio Setup

Ensure your audio setup is top-notch. Use quality headphones or earbuds to hear clearly and a USB microphone for better sound quality. Test your equipment before the recording starts to avoid any technical issues.


Use the Host's Name

Incorporate the host's name into your answers. This small touch keeps the conversation warm and personal.


Keep Your Answers Concise

Listeners can lose interest in long, monotonous answers. Be concise and stay on topic to keep the audience engaged.


Be Energetic and Positive

Maintain a positive and energetic demeanor throughout the interview. Avoid controversial topics and focus on being inspirational and clear in your communication.


Reference Prior Episodes

If you've listened to past episodes, mention them when relevant. This shows your preparation and can engage loyal listeners who enjoy recalling previous content.


Conclusion

Making a great impression as a podcast guest requires more effort than it might seem. Listeners can sense your energy, even if they can't see you. Honesty and authenticity are key to your success. With these tips in mind, you'll be well-prepared to ace your next podcast appearance like a pro.

About

You can spend many thousands of pounds on school and tutor fees to ensure that your child gets the best start in life but this investment can be seriously undermined by their lack of motivation, attitude or weak learning skills. I help to put this right. Using exceptional tools and resources, I design and deliver inspirational teaching sessions specifically for your child in your home or via Skype to help them become a happy, enthusiastic, motivated youngster who is reaching potential, proud of themselves and their achievements and a real credit to you. 

I have forty years teaching experience on which to draw when designing teaching sessions for individual children. Passionate about human development, the neuroscience of learning and key skills, my work focuses on ensuring your child gets specifically what they need to have a positive mindset, great attitude and the drive to succeed. I know there isn't time to teach this in school and that the majority of parents do not have either the time, skills or knowledge to do it themselves.

I have an excellent track record supporting children through entrance exams up to and including 13+ into many of the leading schools in the country both internally and via Skype/FaceTime when they are relocating from abroad to the UK.

If you agree that that your child 'could do better' and you want to do something about it, get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.


Book: Making the Pennies Drop - This practical guide to understanding how your child works by Gail Hugman follows on from 100 Things to Learn Before You're 10, and A short and Simple book for the Why's.

Gail shares her innovative approach that helps parents and caregivers not just support their children, to learn the skills they need for a successful life, but to work with them as a team.

Ancestral Whispers: A Guide to Building Ancestral Veneration Practices
(Llewellyn Worldwide Ltd, 2023)
Build a strong, healthy relationship with your ancestors using this guide to the concepts and considerations of ancestral veneration. This tradition non-specific book presents historical and cultural examples of veneration from around the world, the ins and outs of ritual practice, and inspiring stories related to grief and building community. 

Ben Stimpson shows you the role ancestors can play in daily life and encourages you to explore deeper questions about the living and the dead.  Sharing meditations and journal prompts, Ben helps you connect with your ancestors and develop an authentic, living practice. He introduces you to the various types of ancestors, such as blood, adoption, and affinity, and discusses the physical elements of practice, including sacred space, props, and offerings. This book encourages you to explore your beliefs and create a legacy for current and future generations.

Ben Stimpson (He/They/Them) is an integrative therapist, spiritual director, author, podcaster, and  scholar of folklore and history.  Originally hailing from North Wales, UK, he has lived much of his life in Ontario, Canada.

Ben’s academic and professional record is varied with focusses in social work, counselling, and the humanities.  He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies minoring in Classical, Medieval and Religious studies (University of Waterloo, 2023); a Diploma in Spiritual Psychotherapy (Transformational Arts College, 2019); and, a Diploma in Social Service Work (Humber College, 2007).  He is professionally associated with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as a Registered Member, working towards Accreditation.

One of Ben’s major interests is the intersection of storytelling and personal development, particularly the power of individual and communal narratives in our lives.  Ben’s interest in folklore and spirituality collides with his other interests of fandom and geek culture in client’s therapy work.  To discover more about this integrative approach, please visit the Counselling or Spiritual Direction pages.

Ben is the author of Ancestral Whispers: A Guide to Developing Ancestral Veneration Practices (Llewellyn, 2023), a guide for individuals to develop spiritual relationships with their ancestors.  He is currently working on new projects to be delivered in 2025 with Crossed Crow Books.

About Me

My name is Kathryne Savage Imabayashi, a Canadian educator, parent, and coach, residing in Fukuoka, Japan. During a rich career in education spanning four decades, I have been dedicated to empowering children, parents and teachers to be their best and do their best. Having experienced a variety of countries and cultures, both as a teacher and a school leader, my perspective of the critical role parents play in the life of a child has deeply impacted my mission.

Almost three decades ago, an innocent outing with my son carved out my life’s purpose: becoming a passionate advocate for boys. “As a ‘gang of boys’ approached us that day, I was filled with a deep, guttural fear. For no other reason than that they were boys. When I imagined someone in the future feeling that same fear when my son approached, simply because he was male, I knew I had to learn more and then had to find a way to make this world a better place for our boys.”

I have been on a mission for almost 25 years to understand and then share with others the emotional world of boys, and the pressures society places on them. I have listened to your podcast and wonder if perhaps we might have the ingredients for a great conversation - and the chance to reach as many people as possible to understand more about boys.

The discord between what expectations are and how boys really feel often results in them shutting down their true self and resorting to misbehavior, rebellion or depression.

Since retiring, I have been able to pursue my passion full time. In less than two years I have created a business (sonhoodcoaching.com), published two on-line courses (The Blueprint: How to Intentionally Parent Your Son & The 7 SuperPowers Parents of Boys Need ), published a book and co-authoring another, and have used social media to share my knowledge of boys (instagram, facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube).

My name is Jon Sansone (san-sew-nee) and I have  spent over 31 incredible years as a professional sales person.


After leaving advertising in my early 20s, I went to work for a Fortune500 start-up where through cold calling went from zero customers to 300 customers over a 5-year period. I did this through connecting with prospects and showing them the value of my offering.  I set many sales records and won personal best awards for many years. Next, I followed the trend and went into software and hardware solutions sales for the next 8 years. I started inside, but soon found myself traveling the country where I again set records and was awarded the President’s Club many years later.

Currently I work in professional consulting for a Fortune100 company where I work with many high net-worth clients and continue to set records specifically in the area of new client development. I enjoy boating with family, outdoor activities with friends and I currently host an international Podcast on YouTube called, “School’s Out 80’s Comedy Channel.”

Lastly, I am the author of the successful book Sales Warrior on Amazon.

Over 30 Years Ago...

I arrived in Dallas, Texas with 300 bucks and two weeks later it was spent on car repairs. I took a job waiting tables for the lunch rush and I interviewed in the afternoons. I would change into a suit in my car or in a gas station and go after my dream. I am just a country boy from Missouri who wanted to be someone.

I am now debt free, I boat several times a year and we have a white horse named Trigger.  I am not saying wealth buys you happiness. I had to be happy before I could have wealth. I just want you to know that you can pursue your dreams if you make it happen.

I want to spark that fire to help you make it happen.

As a child, Denise spent years facing many forms of abuse. In addition to the physical and verbal abuse, she also endured sexual abuse while in the care of a parent, where she became a form of payment for their drug addiction. After attempting to take her own life in 1989, when Denise was 14 years old, she was brought to a nonprofit shelter for runaway and abused kids. It was there that she learned how to shift her focus and found support from her counselors, teachers, and a coach which helped change the trajectory of her life and the horror she was born into. Because of the small moments of hope that these women gave her, she was able to create her own success story.

Today, Denise shares her experience of facing abuse and how she found power and resilience in the smallest moments of hope that teachers gave her. “30-second moments. It only takes 30 seconds to feel something so deep that it transcends the time it takes for someone to say something to you that you need to hear.” Denise shares a quote her daughter said to her, “Mom, I am so happy they (teachers/counselors/shelter) raised you because I love the way you raised me.”

She is the author of 30-Second Moments: And The Women Who Raised ME.  Her story was also featured in the book “Listen - Stories We Carry With Us From House to House". A collection of stories, drawings and poems from youth currently in the foster care system or those who had experience in the system  and adult survivors from around the world. Denise is also a special needs advocate and youth advocate. She sits on The Board of Directors for Anchor House Inc. the Trenton, NJ nonprofit shelter that helped her go from being just “something” to becoming “someone”.

Student Ambassador is my series of fun globe-trotting adventure stories for kids who want to see the world and make it a better place. Each story is inspired by my own travels, but turned into an action-adventure comedy! Readers can solve the mystery along with the character using real fun facts about the world. The Missing Dragon covers a kidnapping in Korea and Japan, while The Silver City is a monster mystery in the mines of Mexico. Both feature amazing art by the great Axur Eneas!

Ryan Estrada is an artist, author, and adventurer. His books include Banned Book Club, Occulted, No Rules Tonight, and the Student Ambassador series. He has worked for Star Trek, Popeye, Flash Gordon, and Garfield.

He was a gator wrangler in America, an ambassador to Australia, an undocumented animator in Canada, a ghostbuster in South Korea, a Bollywood voiceover actor in India, wandered Kim Jong Il's secret tunnels to North Korea, slept on a bench in a typhoon in Japan, dug toilets in Thailand, did an accidental illegal border crossing into Burma, made road comics in Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Vietnam and The Philippines, documentaries in Colombia and Ecuador, and podcasts in Malaysia, ran with the bulls in Mexico, barely escaped being eaten by lions in Kenya, fainted atop Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, got caught in a Peruvian coca war, lived in a Costa Rican rainforest and a Panamanian volcano.

RANDOM FACTS
-Ryan started pitching comics to newspapers when he was six. He bothered the same newspaper until they finally hired him at age sixteen.

-Ryan accidentally invented the word normcore. It was a punchline to one of his comics before Oxford English Dictionary named it runner up word of the year.

-Ryan holds the world record for consecutive comic making after attempting and surpassing the 168 hour comic; one page per hour for a full week.

-Ryan ran @forexposure_txt, the popular artists rights novelty twitter account, for ten years

-Ryan was once interviewed by the BBC about a prank he pulled on Vladimir Putin. He'd been the official cartoonist of LiveJournal before Putin had the company bought out so he could move the servers in Russia and use them to shut down activists. He forgot that Ryan still had the legal and technological ability to make comics about their mascot speaking out against this and post them to the official site.
-Ryan does free virtual workshops and author visits for any school, library or book club that asks! Here is a listing of some of his workshops. Drop him a line to set something up!

Ryan Estrada is an artist, author, and adventurer. His books include Banned Book Club, Occulted, No Rules Tonight, and the Student Ambassador series. He has worked for Star Trek, Popeye, Flash Gordon, and Garfield.

He was a gator wrangler in America, an ambassador to Australia, an undocumented animator in Canada, a ghostbuster in South Korea, a Bollywood voiceover actor in India, wandered Kim Jong Il's secret tunnels to North Korea, slept on a bench in a typhoon in Japan, dug toilets in Thailand, did an accidental illegal border crossing into Burma, made road comics in Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Laos, Vietnam and The Philippines, documentaries in Colombia and Ecuador, and podcasts in Malaysia, ran with the bulls in Mexico, barely escaped being eaten by lions in Kenya, fainted atop Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, got caught in a Peruvian coca war, lived in a Costa Rican rainforest and a Panamanian volcano.

RANDOM FACTS
-Ryan started pitching comics to newspapers when he was six. He bothered the same newspaper until they finally hired him at age sixteen.

-Ryan accidentally invented the word normcore. It was a punchline to one of his comics before Oxford English Dictionary named it runner up word of the year.

-Ryan holds the world record for consecutive comic making after attempting and surpassing the 168 hour comic; one page per hour for a full week.

-Ryan ran @forexposure_txt, the popular artists rights novelty twitter account, for ten years

-Ryan was once interviewed by the BBC about a prank he pulled on Vladimir Putin. He'd been the official cartoonist of LiveJournal before Putin had the company bought out so he could move the servers in Russia and use them to shut down activists. He forgot that Ryan still had the legal and technological ability to make comics about their mascot speaking out against this and post them to the official site.
-Ryan does free virtual workshops and author visits for any school, library or book club that asks! Here is a listing of some of his workshops. Drop him a line to set something up!

I am just like you.

I have spent years looking for answers.

Seeking ways to make my life better.  Desperate to find the "thing" that was going to allow change to take place and catapult my life into a new direction; a happier, healthier, and abundant one.

I spent tens of thousands of dollars and invested lots of time and energy into figuring out what was "wrong" with me, why I was stuck.

I dug deep, deeper still, and crawled up from the dark depths of myself, faced fears, fought many battles.  Won some and lost some.  And always got back up.  It was rarely pretty.  But I got up.

Turns out there was nothing wrong with me.  I wasn't broken.  I didn't need to be fixed.

I needed to re-wire some subconscious beliefs, restructure my energetic field, re-establish my connection to divinity, let my soul be free, and move through the challenges that appeared to have a hold on my life.

Ultimately, I learned that challenges are opportunities, they are guiding us through to our next steps. How we meet and navigate those challenges defines our experience of life. 

Thank you for showing up for yourself, for loving yourself, and for taking action.

You are amazing.  A one-of-a-kind wonder.  You are here for a reason.

I believe in you and your power.

Wishing you the greatest success on your journey to self-mastery.

My Message is HIS Message

Analee’s story is one of faith’s triumph over tragedy, the sufficiency of God’s grace and strength in our weakness, and the discovery of the overwhelmingly tender love of our God. When Jesus, the Author, and Finisher of our faith enters in, tragedy, grief, and brokenness will not have the last word.

Today, remarried and enjoying a happy and stable marriage and home, Analee embraces the legacy of her mother Alma, following in her footsteps, ministering love, hope, and encouragement to others.

My goal is to help women, children, and anyone find healing and freedom. Ultimately, this is my heart's mission and my mother's legacy to carry forward. For years I have envisioned myself as a bridge for those who've been through similar heartaches and hardships. Today, I am able to combine my language and translation skills with my love for the Hispanic kitchen and food to minister to others. These activities can be therapeutic, helping others find freedom and healing from their past. As Jesus was often found sitting down and dining with those who were considered "the lost," and welcoming those who were considered "the least."

I've been able to partner with local charities and charitable organizations, bringing my love for baking and cooking to a widening audience, sharing my skills, but more importantly, sharing the love of God with people who desperately need HIS embrace and HIS LOVE.

At the close of one of our church’s services, I went forward for prayer. A friend of mine named Jungu, a real prayer warrior prayed over me.

“God is calling you to a charitable ministry,” she said. I wondered; What kind of a ministry might this be? A pastor on the prayer team immediately had a word for me.

“You know exactly what you are going to be doing,” he said. “God knows and you know. You are going to be leading, helping, and setting people free.”

Another time we prayed, Jungu prophesied over me: “God has a plan. You will have these charities—more than one—through which you will serve and help women and families and you will give them a word from the Lord.”

Like before, this all sounded wonderful. But how could this be?

It was on a Thursday night—September 3, 2015, to be exact—that Jungu prayed over my love life. “Analee has lost so much, Lord,” she began. “She’s had to go through so much. You know who she is! You love her! You’ve heard her cries! You know her heart!”

I knew all these things were true. Still, it overwhelmed my heart to hear my dear friend plead on my behalf. “Lord, I pray that you will not only give back to Analee all that she’s lost, but double! More, Lord! Give her more in a man, and in life, than she asks for or even imagines possible!”

In my heart, I was hopeful but hesitant. I don’t know about all this, Lord. Maybe you could just provide a man who … loves me?

One week later, I met Joel.

The most important relationship is with yourself.  Are you really putting yourself first?


Putting yourself first goes against what women are taught. We are natural nurturers focused on caring for those around us, often putting others’ needs before our own. We are told to shrink back, be small, don’t take up too much room. Don’t be too loud, too thin, too fat, too tall, too short, the list goes on. It seems its impossible to ever be good enough to meet society’s standards. Especially because it keeps changing.

If you spend your life bowing to the opinions, needs and desires of everyone else, you risk losing yourself in the process, never reaching your God given potential and perhaps worst of all, you don’t serve anyone in your life or family well, because you’re too exhausted and confused to do anything well. 

You’re in the Right Place…

“Have Pigs, Will Travel” is based on a true story. It is the unlikely tale (some may say preposterous story) of a young German woman who moved to the United States in 1980 by herself, made friends and established a successful livestock farm, against all odds. I hope this book will appeal to women who have overcome great obstacles to establish their careers, as well as young women who might find encouragement to follow their dreams. But most of all, it may appeal to anyone who is ready to enjoy some wild story telling.

Gina DeMillo Wagner is an award-winning journalist and author. Her writing has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Memoir Magazine, Modern Loss, Self, Outside, CRAFT Literary, and other publications. She is a winner of the CRAFT Creative Nonfiction Award, and her memoir was longlisted for the 2022 SFWP Literary prize.

Book: Forces of Nature: A Memoir of Family, Loss and Finding Home

Gina DeMillo Wagner’s brother Alan had a rare genetic disorder that caused him to veer from loving to violent. When Alan died suddenly, Gina was pulled away from the safety of her adult life and thrust back into a family she has been estranged from for nearly ten years. FORCES OF NATURE follows this rewinding of the past, Gina’s caregiving journey and reckoning with complicated grief, plus Alan’s Christmas-themed funeral, and an investigation into his cause of death. It’s a personal story that asks universal questions: How much of ourselves should we sacrifice to those we love? And, what forces shape our sense of family and home?

Imagine, being in the operating room during brain surgery, being at the top of your career helping others with brain wellness only to be invloved in a car accident that turns a care giver into a recpient of needing care.  Imagine hearing your own presentations, reading your own words and everything sounds like a foreign language - nothing makes sense and the knowlege that you have built up over years of education and service in the medial field is wiped from your memory and vocabulary.  Dark days indeed.  How do you come back from the edge of despair?  Mandi joins us to talk about her upcoming book - Welcome Back, we are glad you are here for this great conversation - please share this with anyone that has suffered a traumatic brain injury or those that care for someone that has!

MY MISSION

I educate healthcare workers and the general public about neurological conditions and how to experience life more fully if you experience neurological difficulties

MY EXPERIENCE

I have helped countless patients in my role as Nurse Practitioner in Neurology over the last 11+ years. I am certified in neuroscience care, have given lectures at local and state conferences, and am passionate about helping others live their best lives. 

Even more, I have experienced healthcare from the patient's perspective, having migraines since my teens, and currently still recovering from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I live life on both sides of the stethoscope.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

Grab a copy of my book (link below) to help yourself or someone you know who suffers from migraines.

Need a podcast guest or presentation? I can speak about tips for reduction of migraines or decreasing stroke risk, as well as what it's like to be a provider receiving TBI care, the recovery process or the pitfalls in the health system that I've identified, and the importance of a strong support system to help you get through some of the toughest diagnoses.

It’s 1976, and the Big Apple is in sorry shape. Besieged on all sides, the city has become a graffiti-coated, garbage-filled, crime-ridden cauldron, teetering on the edge of total collapse. Adding to New York’s towering woes, a revolutionary group called the Satanic Vanguard has kidnapped the mayor, set fire to Coney Island, and threatened further mayhem. All that Gotham has to hope for are its resurgent Yankees, who’ve come back from the dead to reach the World Series by riding the arm of their quirky rookie phenom Nick “The Swan” Spillage. But Satan and his Vanguard plan to snuff that hope out too, they’ve targeted a young couple to help with their diabolical scheme.
The rock and roll-loving pair—Joan and Eliot—came of age in the late 1960s when the counterculture peaked. They’ve lived together in New York’s East Village for eight years, making sweet music on the subways while their beloved city crumbled around them. Then, in shades of the Faustian musical Damn Yankees, Joan develops an obsession with The Swan and makes a deal with the Devil to capture his heart. Meanwhile, Eliot wrestles with what it means to preserve his own soul as he makes a valiant effort to win her back and save the day.

Spillage is a wickedly fun throwback to a chaotic time. At its heart, the novel is a love story and a search for identity in a world that’s gone off the rails.

Michael Gross began Spillage in 1976, the year the story takes place, while working as managing editor of Fiction magazine, teaching and earning his MfA at New York’s City College. He also has a BA from Trinity College and an MBA from NYU, and was the recipient of a Thomas J. Watson Fellowship. In 1978, he embarked on a forty-five-year career in crisis communications, culminating in his serving as CEO of Finsbury (now FGS Global). He is married, has three children and three grandchildren, and divides his time between Brooklyn and Fire Island.

Richard Sparks
One morning in 1979 I got a call from an understandably excited Rowan Atkinson.

“John Cleese just called. He’s asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”

Er, yes.

I’d written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty’s Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman’s Ball.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiWJWLCoH2M

Rowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties.

By that time, I’d cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I’d also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who’s the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we’ve lived in Los Angeles since.

I’ve written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin’s ‘writing partner’ in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.

I’d been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I’m too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.

My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres. I am delighted to join their family of authors, and to be working with their executive editor, Lezli, Robyn.

Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I’m currently working on the fifth book.

A Life Without Limits...

Following a life-altering diagnosis, I have made it my mission to draw attention to rare Pituitary diseases by sharing my own personal journey. Little did I know, this diagnosis would teach me to live. Along with my mission, I continue to explore ways of experiencing life more fully by challenging my limiting beliefs and refocusing my perspective. This has further led me to guide others through their own limiting beliefs and toward their biggest and best life. 

After a shocking diagnosis for a rare pituitary disease and with her eighteen-year marriage in shambles, Risa’s life has fallen far from picture-perfect. Recovering from brain surgery and desperate to get back to her former self, she signs up for the bike tour of a lifetime—six weeks from Canada to Mexico on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The old Risa could have done the ride in her sleep, but for the new Risa, trapped in a body that no longer feels like her own and stuck in the company of her brain tumor, Bubba, the ride becomes a challenge unlike anything she’s ever faced.

As Risa pedals through rain, pain, and the ghosts of her memories, she wonders if the woman she once was will ever return or whether the new woman rising up in her place might just be the person she was meant to be all along.

A remarkable story of transformation and resilience, The Road Unpaved speaks to shifting gears to navigate life’s roadblocks and live a life without limits—a life fully unleashed.

Our Guest - Bob Young was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1942. He was a member of the Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association for nearly three decades and first met Moe Norman in the early 1960s. 

Like Norman, Young has always been intrigued by metaphysics and has had access to the leading trance mediums. 

Young’s brother is Neil Young, the internationally recognized singer-songwriter.

Book: Mind Golf: The Troubled Genius of Moe Norman - At one of a series of clinics that former USPGA teacher of the year Craig Shankland staged, he asked Moe Norman in front of about 300 people, “What’s it like to hit perfect shots, Moe?” Moe paused and looked at the audience. Then, in jest, said, “You will never know.”

Mind Golf assembles and ignites the mental energy of the image of the shot-to-be. Moe “Pipeline Moe” Norman was a Canadian professional golfer and the best ball-striker the world has ever known. Author Bob Young met the eccentric golfer and traveled between Canada and Florida from the early 1960s to 2004, where he was able to observe Pipeline Moe for decades. Mind Golf is about life and golf and the metaphysical connection between Norman’s mechanics and Young’s perception of the mental construct of ball striking. The core of Mind Golf recounts the trail to Young’s discovery, which will help you discover it too.

Book: All Done Binky - It is important for a child to stop using their pacifier at a very young age in order to help develop proper speech and language skills. Parents have reported an increase in verbal language when their child completely stopped using their pacifier. This book helps parents and children learn how to wean off the pacifier. The story shows the steps involved beginning with removing it from outside the house, then not using inside the house during activities and finally eliminating it from the bed. The bright colors and simple words are exciting and relatable to young children who will want you to read it to them over and over again!

The Author: Everyone has a special gift. You may know what yours is or perhaps you have not yet discovered it. I am fortunate to know that my special gift is having the key that is needed to help children unlock the doors of communication. I have this wonderful ability to relate to children in such a way that they feel comfortable and have fun at the same time that they are blooming.

For over 25 years, my passion has been connecting and communicating with parents, grandparents, nannies, siblings and their babies from birth through five years old. Guiding both the children and adults during my sessions provides me with great joy and pride. To be present for the beautiful moment when a mom hears her child speak a word they have never spoken before is an inspiring and exhilarating shared experience.

Watching the looks of pure awe and joy from the families when they see their baby making those connections is what continues to drive my passion for helping other babies bloom.

As babies bloom…families blossom.

Through my years of experience, I have discovered that coaching those who spend the most time with a baby such as parents, grandparents, and nannies to integrate my proactive strategies into their natural daily activities is the most impactful way to help a baby bloom.

About Karen Gershowitz

I was 17 years old, traveling alone, when I boarded a plane to Europe. Living in a different culture I experienced the world in new and surprising ways and discovered myself. My love of travel was born. I didn’t return to the US for three years.

Since then I’ve traveled to more than 90 countries. I climbed Kilimanjaro, conquered my fear of falling to go on an elephant trek in Thailand, spent time in Berlin shortly after the wall came down, stayed with a Japanese family who taught me to make sushi and made friends across the globe.

In pursuit of my passion for travel I’ve lost and gained friends and lovers and made a radical career change. Travel is my addiction, and I don’t want treatment

I studied ceramics in college and graduate school but abandoned that career and switched to marketing so that employers would pay for my travel. In my new career as a marketing strategist and researcher I’ve traveled the world conducting thousands of meetings, focus groups and interviews. My skills as an interviewer have persuaded total strangers to talk candidly about the most intimate of subjects, personal bankruptcy, illness, and religion. When traveling for pleasure, those same skills helped me to draw out people’s stories. I’ve learned about their lives, as well as local customs and fashions and what makes them laugh. These conversations often led to invitations for dinner and personal tours.

Travel Mania is a compilation of stories that explore how travel can change a life. Like my readers, I am an ordinary person. Through travel I’ve learned courage and risk taking and succeeded at things I didn’t know I could do.

Each story can be read and enjoyed independently. My hope is that they will tickle the travel bug in readers and encourage them to set off on their own adventures.

I live in New York City.

You Aren't Depression's Victim, a departure from Debra Atlas's usual journalistic writing, is designed to be uplifting and empowering. It offers readers thought-provoking ideas and possibilities.

Have you ever wondered if you had a choice when faced with depression? We often think we must automatically fall into the depression pit, that there's no other option. But what if you could see and recognize depression before it hit? What if we didn't have to fall down into that dark pit but could see it coming and do something to step back from it?

This intimate look into Ms. Atlas's lifelong journey with depression:

* reveals how to identify where the edge of depression actually is,

* provides tools to help you recognize depression before it hits,

* shines a light on simple actions that can help us step back from the edge.

Living an "odd man out", roller coaster-like life, Atlas kept her depression hidden from family and friends – until she attempted suicide at age 14. From her emotional recovery to life at college, grad school and on to the Big Apple, Atlas strove to find meaning and balance while lacking the words or skills for her search. Living with a deep sense of inadequacy, her "I'm not good enough" constantly put a lid on her ability to be a star in her life.

A chance meeting with a therapist became a lifeline when Atlas faced an overwhelming emotional crisis. The therapy that followed opened the door to life-changing insights and to desperately needed tools that helped her gain clarity, confidence and equilibrium. This book is the culmination of that work. Through her hard work and the lessons learned from it, Atlas discovered that we have a choice, that we don't have to be a victim of depression, and this unlocked a bright path to living a balanced and fulfilled life.

Sara Bohling

Author/Nurse/Wife/Mom

I’m a wife, Mom to 2 daughters and a sunset enthusiast. I’m Nurse with 20 years experience- Neonatal bedside nurse, APRN-CNS, and am now providing holistic wellness coaching.

I’ve endured a significant health challenge the past several years, with a rare, invisible illness that left me completely bedbound for nearly a year. I’ve spent the next 5 years relearning to walk, drive and more. It has transformed my view and approach to helping and healing others.

I have shared my journey of faith, health and grace in my book: When Grit and Grace Collide: Persevering Through Life’s Challenges with Grit and God’s Grace.

You're Not Your Job

Leaving the rat race by overcoming self-doubt

Do you feel like a square peg in a round hole sometimes?
Do you feel like what you're doing is not really meant for you?
Would you rather be doing something else entirely but don't know where to start?

In our lives, we don't ask ourselves enough questions. We follow the lead of others because they seem to know what they're doing. Along the way, you may lose track of who you really are. You mistake your identity for your job. Deep down, however, you know you were not meant to be living like this. You even have a plan to switch gears. But you never do.

Looking for answers? Try asking questions instead!

Daniel has been through the journey of switching careers. He's not offering you answers, though.

His goal is to help you ask yourself LOTS and LOTS of questions to get where you want to be. This helpful book is what he wishes his past self had at his disposal.

JOEL SALOMON
Joel Salomon is a prosperity coach who helps others overcome obstacles standing in the way of their financial freedom. In 2019, Joel published The 9 Money Rules Millionaires Use: Only The Unconventional Oneswhich was a bestseller in both self-help and personal finance. In 2018, he published Mindful Money Management: Memoirs of a Hedge Fund Manager, which immediately became a bestseller.

Joel is an award-winning speaker and frequent podcast guest. He has led 9 workshops teaching the concepts of how to overcome limiting beliefs. He has spoken at numerous Rotary and Lions’ Clubs in the New York Metropolitan area and at Mercy College’s MBA program, as well as at Mike Dooley’s Infinite Possibilities Training Conference in New Orleans in March 2018.

He appeared on TV with CEO Money and has also been a guest on more than 20 podcasts including Every Day is a New Day Show, Thrive Loud, the Award-Winning Nice GuysPodcast, The Financial Survival Network, and Think, Believe, Manifest. Joel has also been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, Newsday, U.S. News and World Report, and interviewed in Forbes and on Bloomberg Radio.

In 2012, he achieved a decades-long dream with the launch of his own hedge fund, SaLaurMor Capital (named after his two daughters, Lauren and Morgan).

Salomon’s financial experience includes managing a $700 million long/short equity and credit portfolio for Citi. Salomon generated positive returns every full year during his time at Citi, including 2008, when the market suffered 40 percent losses and financial stocks—the only ones he was managing—collapsed 57%.

Salomon has been a Chartered Financial Analyst since 1995. In 1992, he was named a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries. He is also an Advanced Communicator Gold Toastmaster and a Certified Infinite Possibilities Trainer & Trailblazer.

When not helping others achieve their financial dreams, Salomon enjoys table tennis, bowling, and skiing. He is also an avid traveler and has visited over forty countries and five continents.

The Book: The 9 Money Rules Millionaires Use

The 9 Money Rules Millionaires Use is fabulous, enlightened reading, filled with gripping personal stories – my favorite way to learn – written by someone who has walked the talk and who wants to help others do the same. I could not more highly recommend reading this one as soon as possible.

FB text messages to my sons

The Book: Text Messages To My Sons - At the start of 2020, I began to immerse myself in a learning journey incorporating good health, spiritual and emotional intelligence, and personal growth. I needed to share this with my three sons, who are everything to me.

One motivating factor was the wild statistic that in 2017, people were on their phones 70% of the time, and by 2021, it was continuous.

While my kids were growing up, I texted my sons mostly with nagging reminders, questions, commands, and sometimes, even reprimands. They would text me what they needed or wanted me to do for them. That was our communication.  I do not consider phones and devices evil; what you do with them makes the difference.  

So, at the beginning of 2021, I started text messaging each of my sons daily with messages of love, inspiration, observation, and gratitude. I shared what I was learning, including advice and quotes from renowned mentors, creators, and thinkers. What was fantastic was that my sons read the texts and responded with love and acknowledgment back to me.

As I shared with friends what I was doing with my sons, their response was remarkably consistent: “THIS IS AMAZING, YOU HAVE TO PUT THIS IN A BOOK, WHAT A GIFT!” And so, I did ! “Text Messages to My Sons” is available on Amazon. It’s there as a gentle guide to expand the depth of your loving relationships with family and friends.

The Last Bird of Paradise by Clifford Garstang

Two women, nearly a century apart, seek to rebuild their lives when they reluctantly leave their homelands. Arriving in Singapore, they find romance in a tropical paradise, but also find they haven’t left behind the dangers that caused them to flee.

In the aftermath of 9/11 and haunted by the specter of terrorism, Aislinn Givens leaves her New York law practice and joins her husband in Southeast Asia when he takes a job there. Seeking to establish herself in a local law firm, Aislinn begins to understand the historic resentment of foreigners who have exploited the region for centuries. Learning about the turmoil of Singapore’s colonial period, she acquires several paintings by an English artist during World War I that she believes are a warning to her. The artist, Elizabeth Pennington, tells her own tumultuous story through diary entries that come to an end when the war reaches the colony with catastrophic results. In the present, Aislinn and her husband learn tragically that terrorism takes many shapes when they are ensnared by local political upheaval and corruption.

In a lyrical blend of historical and contemporary drama, The Last Bird of Paradise explores the consequences of power imbalances—both domestic and geopolitical—against a lush, tropical backdrop. Clifford Garstang, author of the award-winning novel Oliver’s Travels, once again draws on his decades of experience in Asia to tell an unforgettable story of romantic intrigue.

Hello, and thank you for visiting. I’m a St. Petersburg native, and a graduate of University of South Florida (Go Bulls!) with a B.A. in Mass Communications/Broadcasting. I’m also a former political spouse.

After years of being asked, “How do you do this?” I decided to tell my story of political spouse life with Accidental First Lady: On the Front Lines (and Behind the Scenes) of Local Politics.

Since publishing my book, I’ve had the honor of helping others start their author journeys. I’ve taught memoir writing with Keep St. Pete Lit, and next year, I’ll teach a 4-part memoir class at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Eckerd College. 

To reach aspiring writers everywhere, I’m designing an online class: Memoir Magic: Crafting, Publishing, and Promoting Your Life Story. I’d love to add you to my Founders Group of students.  

About the author

Kerry Kriseman is a St. Petersburg native. She is a graduate of the University of South Florida with a B.A. in Mass Communications/Broadcasting. 

Kerry worked in print media for the St. Petersburg Times (now Tampa Bay Times) in various positions in the Newsroom and Marketing Department from 1988 to 1998. She has been the Public Relations Manager for Creative Clay, a St. Petersburg, Fla., non-profit since 2008.

Kerry is the author of Accidental First Lady: On the Front Lines and Behind the Scenes of Local Politics, published by St. Petersburg Press. The memoir recounts her 22 years as a political spouse to her lawyer-turned-politician husband, Rick Kriseman, St. Petersburg Mayor from 2014-2022. Political life afforded Kerry remarkable travel experiences, such as travel to Morocco, Scotland, and Qatar. However, she also finds her hometown of St. Pete engaging, with its world-class museums, local arts districts, diversity, and vibrant neighborhoods. 

Equally as enjoyable as travel are Kerry’s passions: dogs (her own Labradors and the guide dog puppies they raise), volunteering in several capacities, enjoying wine, trying new recipes, and challenging her baking skills with her new Kitchen Aid stand mixer.

Dwight offers practical steps to awaken, release resistance, and unlock an extraordinary life via one-on-one coaching, live group programs, events, sessions, retreats, and speaking to groups large and small.

Dwight's expertise in multiple healing modalities and his commitment to being of service led him to create the powerful Wildlight Healing System, which he downloaded from the universe in 5 minutes.  This system is so easy a child can do it.  His healing background and training include Reiki, MariEl, Matrix Energetics, The Emergence Process (a mind-body technique), mental, emotional, and subconscious healing, numerology, hypnosis-level meditations, and visualizations. Dwight feels energy and is intuitively guided as to what resistance his clients need to release.  He uses coaching principles, advanced meditations, and energy modalities to facilitate profound transformations.

Dwight’s unique path and gifts enable his clients to hack into their Soul power.  Imagine being guided through one of the most advanced healing processes in the world, where you literally partner with your Soul to heal and release all resistance you have from every version of yourself.  Dwight calls this “healing your multiverse”.  All layers are healed simultaneously as you and your Soul become free from all karma, lessons, energetic blocks, subconscious programs, thoughts, belief systems, agreements with other Souls, and the Akashic records.   

Join Dwight on the ultimate journey of self-discovery, healing, and realizing your fullest potential. Unlock your incredible inner power with The SoulHacker and author of The Formula For Lasting Happiness.

Anna works as a paranormal specialist, energy worker and house healer with a lifetime of experience working with the invisible realms around us. She has a kind, compassionate nature reflected in her work, and most of all, she uses a respectful approach towards assisting all energetic beings. In return, Anna witnesses paranormal experiences no other human has been allowed to see until now.

The Book: The Darkness Around Us 


- What are dark energy beings, and why are they here?

- How do they affect us and our homes, and what to do about it?

- How do we respectfully remove them from our home, and where do they go?


How to recognise paranormal addiction and what to do about it!
In your hands, you have a handbook like no other. This book aims to educate the reader by demystifying the Dark Realm and its inhabitants. As we live in a shared environment filled with invisible energy beings, awareness of their tactics and intentions is essential for maintaining our well-being and harmonious surroundings. You will read page after page of helpful information and more than 110 real-life experiences, which I have collected over 30 years of my personal and work-related experiences with dark energy beings. 


They are not as scary as you think! When you have the knowledge and clear understanding of what is out there, you improve your self-awareness and make more appropriate life decisions. You consciously choose to raise your vibration and create more positive emotions, therefore avoiding dark energy presence within yourself and your home.

What has self-doubt already cost you in your life? WORTHY is how you change that. Imagine what you'd do, if you FULLY believed in YOU! When you stop doubting your greatness, build unshakable self-worth and embrace who you are, you transform your entire life! WORTHY teaches you how, with simple steps that lead to life-changing results!

"In life, you don't soar to the level of your hopes and dreams, you stay stuck at the level of your self-worth. In your business, leadership, relationships, friendships and ambitions, you don't rise to what you believe is possible, you fall to what you believe you're worthy of. When you build your self-worth, you change your entire life. WORTHY teaches you how. I wrote WORTHY for YOU if you have some self-doubt to destroy and a destiny to fulfill!"—Jamie Kern Lima

Author Jamie Kern Lima's first, instant New York Times bestselling book Believe It, captured her journey of going from Denny's waitress to billion-dollar entrepreneur by learning to believe in herself. And now her second, much-anticipated, upcoming book Worthy, is the playbook for how YOU can believe in YOU! If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, felt like you don't have what it takes...or that who you truly are isn't enough, even if you're really good at hiding it from the world, WORTHY is for you.

If you've been underestimating your talent and gifts, or battle imposter syndrome, WORTHY is for you. If you've been letting fear of failure and rejection hold you back, WORTHY is for you. If you've learned to please others so much that you end up betraying yourself, WORTHY is for you. If you're ready to get unstuck and fully believe in YOU, WORTHY is for you! When you change what you believe you're worthy of, you change your entire life.

Imagine...what would you do if you had zero self-doubt and unshakable self-worth? What would you do if you fully believed in YOU?

AUTHOR

 Author REGINA LAFRANCE has come a long way since her native homeland, a small village in Portugal. A place she called home until tragedy struck. Her semi-autographical novel, SHAYLA, is a depiction of what happened and draws from her direct experience—deep-rooted wounds and trauma that has followed her into adulthood. 

SHAYLA is Regina’s sharing, and hope, for others who have been molested and suffered from abuse. Passionate in her perseverance and resolve of this issue, Regina speaks to the realities of child sexual abuse—escalating at an alarming rate. Her intention for writing this book is to increase awareness, and her public outcry, to parents raising children; in her mission to identify when a child is in fear of speaking up. And to prevent the unthinkable from happening to our precious young and innocent. 

Shayla’s concept of “play” by any youthful standard was about to be forever shattered.

Her predator would force her to do her duty, and the unthinkable.  Too young, too weak, too late... Her chastity taken away from her, she was out for revenge. Shayla knew what she had to do next. 

She would run away from her haunted past. Until it caught up with her future.

Inspired by real events, this incredible story could have been prevented... if only her parents would have listened.

Is YOUR lack of self-confidence holding you back from being a successful self-employed person with a disability?

Then you need my free cheat sheet with your first three steps to self-confidence

This cheat sheet will give you 3 things you can start doing today to develop and grow your self-confidence.

Look, I get it.  I know that being a person with a disability can do a number on your self-confidence.  You may have experienced people telling you no just because you are a person with a disability.  I know that people have told me I could not do things because I am a person with a disability and encountered many barriers that stood between me and my goals.

Despite it all, I am a successful self-employed person with 3 major disabilities: a physical disability, a visual impairment, and a neurodiverse diagnosis of ADHD.  I have started and ran three businesses out of my home and been in Entrepreneur magazine.  If you would ask me what my secret to success has been, I would have to say that it was having self-confidence in myself and my abilities even when others or society doubted my abilities.

My name’s Taylor Duran, and I’m from San Antonio. I love playing pool, spending time with family and writing unique stories that are relatable. I attended the University of Texas at San Antonio, on and off for five years, and have nothing to show for it. That’s okay, because college isn’t for everyone.

I fell into my book series without warning and without prior knowledge of my writing abilities. I am writing a fantasy book series about overcoming the effects of trauma in one’s mind in a realistic and honest way. As much as this series is about fantasy, it’s even more so about the mental health journey.

Often, in our darkest places, a single ray of hope in the face of adversity shines its brightest. This line is the reason it’s being written, for hope, and to end the stigma.

I am most proud of the readers’ take-a-way of my novel. Those who’ve read it end up laughing, crying, and rooting for my main character. I am proud of what this is going to do for the world, and what it stands for. This journey from feeling broken, to becoming comfortable being uncomfortable, then to being okay with being vulnerable is difficult.

I was in so much pain for so long; I learned to love it. I yearned for it. When I started my journey, it was scary, and unbearable to me. The closer I came to being healthy and letting my pain go, the more my fears took control. The questions I had playing on a loop in my mind were.

One of my all-time favorite quotes is “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.” – Mark Twain.

I believe we all have a purpose for being born, a calling to make an impact. However small or large that impact is, doesn’t matter, just that we live up to it. My freshman year in high school I was hit with my purpose, to affect great change in the world. Sadly, I didn’t know how I was going to achieve that.

Life had been kicking me so hard around that time, to the point I wasn’t capable of being the man I am today. It prevented me from growing, and flourishing into a healthy person. For years, I wallowed in my own mental pain, until it came to a head when I contemplated suicide. Realizing these thoughts, I checked myself into a behavioral health facility and began the healing process. It was in that facility, in October 2021, I found my passion for writing a story. Not only writing it, but making it easy for the readers to identify with my main character’s struggles.

About the author

J.R. Byers lives in Jacksonville, Fl with her husband, daughter, and Five dogs. 

A new author, she writes contemporary, paranormal, and historical romance novels, and credits her love of writing to the very first romance novel she read at the age of Twelve.

Book: Finding Emmaline (A Blackwood Series) - Aberdeen, Scotland. 1744
William Blackwood had it all.

The oldest son of a wealthy whisky merchant, the devastatingly handsome bachelor was more than content with his life.
He had a wonderful family, good friends, and the freedom to do as he pleased.

The gentleman bad boy known affectionately as The Prince of Aberdeen, the ladies loved him. And he loved them.

When Emmaline Bissette, his childhood friend, walks back into his life, his whole world changes. Suddenly, the thought of spending a lifetime with one woman doesn’t seem so mundane as he once thought, and the idea of marriage and a family of his own becomes rapidly appealing.

But when tragedy strikes, his love is cruelly taken from him, and William is left grief stricken and alone.

Devastated by his loss and racked with guilt over the circumstances of her death, the handsome widower leaves Scotland behind in the hopes of escaping the painful memories.

Vowing to never love again, William has kept his heart guarded for nearly three centuries.

But now, he yearns to go home, back to his beloved Scotland.
Where fate, it seems, is not quite done with him just yet……

Book:  Kane's Reckoning (A Blackwood Series) - When Emily Snow travels to Scotland to meet handsome entrepreneur Kane Blackwood, she had three objectives.
Return the man’s painting.

Have a holiday.
And see the sights.

It was a dream come true, a chance of a lifetime. And one she couldn’t pass up.
After meeting the devastatingly attractive businessman in person, however, she realizes that Kane Blackwood, with his dark, good looks, and sexy Scottish charm, was everything she looked for in a man.

But when secrets are revealed that shatter her entire existence, can she accept the past, and embrace a destiny that had been foretold long ago?
Or should she walk away forever…?

Mike Van Pelt Men's Mentor & Life Coach

I help men unpack the goodness that’s already in their heart and discover the True Man inside of them. 

 "In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Collossians 2:3

Christ is in us, all the treasures and wisdom are inside of you, my role is to listen, pray, ask powerful questions, and keep you accountable to do the things you say you'll do.But...We live in extraordinary times! Men are now more afraid than ever to be masculine, free, and alive.  Many men live isolated, lonely, and unconnected lives.  We hide behind the veil of status symbols hoping the truth will never come out. Ultimately, our social lives, and intimate relationships with family and God suffer.  Does that sound familiar? | 

When we live without purpose and clarity we live in a world of confusion and doubt.  Does that sound like you?

The Book: True Man True Ways: A Roadmap of Discovery to the Masculine Heart

My goal in True Man True Ways: A Roadmap of Discovery to the Masculine Heart, is to give you roadmap to help you maneuver through the challenges of life and some rest stops to think about the purpose and direction of where you want to go. Of course, having directions, a map, a GPS, a way to get you where you're going is important.

Do you wonder why should we sleep?

We spend almost 1/3rd of our life sleeping and yet we hardly study about this time of life.

Do you want to improve your sleep or do you want to know how sleeping well can improve other areas of life?

✓ Are you struggling with insomnia?
✓ Are you living in anxiety related to sleep?
✓ Are you developing a limiting belief in sleep?
✓ Are you fighting with your brain and feeling shame?
✓ Are you waiting to fall asleep time every night?
✓ Are you spending the entire day thinking about sleep?

Hey there! I am Manohar Grandhi I am a software engineer by profession and have struggled for more than a year with all the above points.

I have written this book after struggling with insomnia and having sought intensive consultation with IITian turned Psychologist, Speaker, and Coach Karthik.

In this book, I have shared my firsthand experiences, struggles, and wins that helped me to turn intrinsic motivation into sustained motivation for reversing insomnia.

The methods I suggest in this book are easy yet effective. It worked for me. It is also working for tons of people and it will work for you as well because it is backed by science. The method I suggest in the book in reversing anxiety/insomnia has been in practice for around 5000 years.

What will you get from this book?
1) Freedom from anxiety.
2) Peace of mind.
3) A process to get rid of anti-anxiety pills.

Here is my proposal–try the methods with an open mind and whole-hearted attempts, trust the process, and see the magical changes in your mind.

Imagine sleeping like a child without any worry, and not spending a single minute of the day being anxious about sleep.

The methods I suggest in this book are easy yet effective. It worked for me. It is also working for tons of people and it will work for you as well because it is backed by science. The method I suggest in the book in reversing anxiety/insomnia has been in practice for around 5000 years.

What will you get from this book?
1) Freedom from anxiety.
2) Peace of mind.
3) A process to get rid of anti-anxiety pills.

Here is my proposal–try the methods with an open mind and whole-hearted attempts, trust the process, and see the magical changes in your mind.

Imagine sleeping like a child without any worry, and not spending a single minute of the day being anxious about sleep.

JB Harris lives in Massachusetts with her husband, three kids and two dogs. Her short fiction has appeared in publications such as Boston Literary Journal, The Beacon Street Review, and Puckerbrush Review. She was recently named a finalist in both the 2022 Hal Prize in Fiction and the WOW Spring 22 Flash Fiction Contest. Her debut novel The Immigrant’s Wife was released May 2023

"The Immigrant's Wife is a vivid and haunting novel told with great precision and heart. You can't help but root for Charles and Anna, two star-crossed strivers making their way in an unforgiving world. JB Harris has written a transporting debut." —Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men Not all men who abandon their families are scoundrels.

A story of love and perseverance set when consumption ravaged America. Anna Patrinos is deserted by her husband. What she doesn’t know is he anonymously exiled to a TB sanatorium to protect her and their unborn baby from the deadly disease and the ruinous cost of his care. Anna’s battle with ostracism, starvation and assault to keep herself and her child alive interweaves with Charles’ fight to survive and return home to his family, which is complicated by his one night of indiscretion. Reunited, Anna and Charles confront what it means to belong and whether love is enough to heal their devastated lives and start anew. Harrowing but ultimately hopeful, The Immigrant’s Wife is a compelling story of self-sacrifice, resilience and devotion.

Tansy Boggon is a nutritionist and author of non-fiction, fiction and children’s books. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, Tansy writes to help people break free of diet rules and diet mentality to embrace the joy of food without guilt and shame. She has written a novel, The Tears of a Woman, which weaves her own childlessness journey into a fictional story.

Author | Mindfulness Blogger | Nutritionist

specialising in a non-diet and mindful eating approach

Tansy Boggon, ANutr (Associate Nutritionist – The Nutrition Society of Australia), BAppSc(Hons), GCertHumNutr

I am an author, mindfulness blogger, recipe developer and university-qualified nutritionist with a passion for inspiring people to enjoy eating to nourish their body and for the pure pleasure of it — because I believe that eating is one of life’s joys.

I believe feeding ourselves shouldn’t be about deprivation, counting calories or portion control, which I believe do more to sabotage our health and happiness. It is my belief, through personal experience, exploration of the scientific literature and working with clients, that when we relax our diet rules and focus on the experience of eating, we can nourish our bodies in an intuitive and joyful way.

Through nutrition counselling, writing and workshops, I aim to demystify diet and nutrition myths, dispel confusion and ease the anxiety often associated with eating. I want to promote a joyful attitude towards food, irrespective of a person’s weight or size — because these aren’t accurate measures of health and happiness anyway!

I have experience providing one-on-one and group coaching, workshops, writing food and nutrition articles and recipe development. I incorporate a non-dieting approach, mindful eating, eating psychology, a passion for cooking and a love of eating into my work. You can find me sipping a latte, drooling over cookbooks, tapping away at my laptop or chopping veggies in the kitchen — all are joys to me!

About the author

I have always wanted to be a storyteller. For the last seven or eight years,

I went through trial and error to find out what kind of writer I wanted to be.

I started out as a screenwriter, in which I made a couple short films, and nearly had another one completed.

When I first started writing it, I signed up for an academic program called Library and Information Technology. Unfortunately, I feel regretful for entering the program. 

Not because it is difficult, but because I truly want to pursue my career as a writer. My goal for the new year is to make it possible to leave school and put all my energy and 

time to make that a reality. 

I believe there is no such thing as a great writer, but a well-practiced writer. As for what I want to write about, I can sum it up in one sentence.

To show what the human spirit can do whether it is through light or darkness.

I always dreamed of doing my career in London, England. I do not know why. Just feels right.

A.G. Flitcher

Book Series - Boone and Jacque

A.G. Flitcher is a seven time award winning author who also placed in finals for Fantasy Series and Fantasy book for the OZMA Award. In addition, he has taught and mentored many the art of storytelling to novice writers and avid readers. His obsession with questioning the good and bad in life, the grey areas, and the scary parts of life, is what makes his work enthralling and colorful.

Exactly one year later, Dorian hikes up the same trail as a memorial to his son and recalls the three-day search process with raw emotion. Bailand’s final text, “This is a beast of a hike, but talk about a view!” takes on a deeper meaning as Dorian relates his hike to the journey of life. This is not only a story of a man facing insurmountable loss and grief, but of his restorative process through the healing power of virtue and the spiritual connection he feels to his deceased son. “Remember in the New Testament, Jesus was touched by a woman with an issue of blood? He said He felt ‘virtue’ come out of Him with her touch. 

As I considered this story, I was stumped thinking about which virtue the woman needed to heal her physical ailment. Which virtue came out of Him?”Belinda still looked confused. “I honestly have no idea.”“Does it matter?” I asked. “She was healed completely and whatever she needed for healing was offered by Christ.” Dorian has created The Chemistry of Virtues (modeled after the periodic table) to illustrate how virtues impact each other and can be used to successfully heal. No matter how deep the wound, virtuous actions provide hope for healing.

I turned to writing after George, my partner of 32 years, died of cancer in April 2013, and I found myself living alone for the first time at age 50.

I needed to know I still existed after a year of being his caregiver, watching him disintegrate, feeling deep in my bones that somehow I was failing him. He was in denial so he thought he was going to recover even as his body abandoned him.

I couldn’t fix his illness, not could I jolt him into reality, nor get him to agree to palliative care, nor to involve his parents who were going to lose their only child. I thought I was crawling out of my skin. Through grief therapy, I found out I had post-traumatic stress disorder.

Over the next few years, I sort of got better, in dribs and drabs, but the loneliness enveloped me. For 32 years, George and I had eaten dinner together almost every night, then curled up in bed to wake up beside each other each morning. I still wonder, where does all that love go? Is it transmuted into protective energy or is it just gone?

I was a practicing attorney for over ten years which lends my writing an acrid tone of bitterness and irony. In an effort to work on that, I also earned an MFA in creative nonfiction from Saint Mary’s College of California in May of 2020.

My essays have been published in The New York Times’ “Modern Love” column, HuffPost, Woman’s Day, Good Housekeeping, Elle Decor, and Reader’s Digest, among other publications. My award-winning blog, debbieweissauthor.com dispenses empathy and advice on grief and dating after loss.

Book: Available As Is - After losing her husband, George—her one and only since high school prom—to cancer, fifty-year-old Debbie Weiss found herself opening a new chapter of life that she didn’t know how to start.

Initially, she binge-watched Netflix and drank Manhattans. Then she became a dating monster—starting with J-Date and then moving on to multiple other sites. Soon, Debbie was averaging two dates a day; in the blink of an eye, she’d gone from respectable widow to the girl you’d do in your Trans Am but wouldn’t take to the prom. At one point, she was actually dating four guys at once, including a politician who refused to let Debbie meet his family because they’d met online. But as she juggled these many men, she began to feel that midlife dating was less an earnest romantic endeavor and more a battle of the sexes . . . and the line in the sand was how much women were willing to tolerate.

Fed up, Debbie went offline. Only then, without the distraction of dating to keep her busy, did she finally, truly grieve her loss—and as she did, she also realized that she needed to forgive herself, both for George’s death and for losing her identity in their marriage. Equal parts poignant and punchy, Available As Is is a darkly humorous account of seeking love—but finding yourself

Kim McCollum lives in Bozeman, Montana with her blended menagerie of five kids, two dogs, and seven spoiled chickens. An excerpt from her upcoming novel What Happens in Montana (release date January 25, 2024) appeared in The Copperfield Review Quarterly and her short stories have appeared in The Dillydoun Review, Beyond Solace, and Fiction on the Web. She was a finalist in Now Novel's character writing contest and is the author of the travel blog happygoluckytraveler.com.

Book: What Happens in Montana explores friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness with blunt truth and witty insights. Join Maude and her newfound friends as they confront the challenges of life, love, and the occasional poltergeist. Is their friendship strong enough to get them through it all?

A girlfriend’s reunion at a haunted, holistic hot springs retreat in Montana leads to spilled secrets and betrayal, but does it also lead to murder?

Whiskey-swigging Maude Reeves, the nearly eighty-year-old chef, longs for the glory days when the retreat hosted martini-sipping celebrities instead of long-haired hippies who refuse to wear deodorant. She prefers the company of her dog and the ghost who haunts the retreat to regular people, but one of the ladies who arrives for the reunion bears a striking resemblance to her late daughter, and she is helplessly drawn in. Brooke, feisty, adventurous, and a bit reckless, proposes the reunion at the retreat with her best friends to get away from the current chaos of her life. One of those friends, Tracy, has devoted her life to her children and her husband despite her excruciating boredom. But a long-held secret threatens these friendships she holds most dear. Haunting the place is a ghost who, in life, dealt with tragedy by turning to prostitution which led to her murder over 100 years ago at the very place they are all staying.

Our Guest: Paula Delgado-Kling holds degrees in comparative literature, French civilizations, international affairs, and creative writing from Brown, Columbia and the New School, respectively.

This is her first book. It has been excerpted in Narrative Magazine (Winter 2008 issue), The Literary Review (Winter 2009 issue and reprinted in the 60th anniversary issue, fall 2017), Pacifica Literary Review (Winter 2017 issue), The Grief Diaries (February 2017 issue), and translated into Japanese for happano.org (January 2017 issue).

For this book, she received two grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, and won the OneWorld Prize in nonfiction from the Pan African Literary Forum, for which she was awarded a trip to Accra, Ghana to share her work. Paula’s website is pauladelgadokling.com. Her reportage, “El Diario de Maher Arar,” was anthologized in Las Mejores Crónicas de Gatopardo (Random House Mondadori, 2006).

Since March 2005, she has been an assistant editor at Narrative Magazine. She lives in New York.

The Book: Leonor: The Story of a Lost Childhood Paperback - Set in the author’s homeland, Colombia, this is the heartbreaking story of Leonor, former child soldier of the FARC, a rural guerrilla group.

Paula Delgado-Kling followed Leonor for nineteen years, from shortly after she was an active member of the FARC forced into sexual slavery by a commander thirty-four years her senior, through her rehabilitation and struggle with alcohol and drug addiction, to more recent days as the mother of two girls.

Leonor’s physical beauty, together with resourcefulness and imagination in the face of horrendous circumstances, helped her carve a space for herself in a male-dominated world. She never stopped believing that she was a woman of worth and importance. It took her many years of therapy to accept that she was also a victim.

Throughout the story of Leonor, Delgado-Kling interweaves the experiences of her own family, involved with Colombian politics since the 19th century and deeply afflicted, too, by the decades of violence there.

Katherine Snow Smith has lived throughout the south as a newspaper reporter,
magazine editor, adjunct instructor, daughter, sister, mother, wife, divorcee and friend. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and started her journalism career covering three minuscule towns in South Carolina. After a stint covering business in Charlotte she got married, moved to St. Petersburg, Florida, and started a 20-year career at the Tampa Bay Times. Katherine raised three children with her husband, a fellow journalist. After their 24-year-marriage ended and last child went away to college, Katherine returned to her native North Carolina to be closer to her parents in Raleigh. Now, three kids, two careers and one divorce later, she’s back at her alma mater getting a master’s degree in Media and Communications so she can teach journalism on a college level. Most of her classmates are less than half her age. They help her with coding homework and she waxes on annoyingly about how life has many chapters they’ll never expect. Some are piercing. Some are priceless. Keep turning the page.

Book - Stepping on the Blender - Journalist Katherine Snow Smith returned to her native North Carolina after her last child left the nest and a 24-year marriage ended. With more baggage and less time on the clock, she thought of fellow Tar Heel Thomas Wolfe’s book You Can’t Go Home Again. She writes with vulnerability and humor about forging an unexpected path, parenting, dating, reporting, aging, loss and launching the next act in a full life.

Oh yeah, she stepped on a blender minutes before leaving Florida for this latest chapter. Sometimes you just have to prop your bloody foot on the dashboard and put it in drive.

Book: Rules for the Southern Rulebreaker - Southern women are inundated with rules starting early―from always wearing sensible shoes to never talking about death to the dying, and certainly not relying on song lyrics for marriage therapy.

Nevertheless, Katherine Snow Smith keeps doing things like falling off her high heels onto President Barack Obama, gaining dubious status as the middle school “lice mom,” and finding confirmation in the lyrics of Miranda Lambert after her twenty-four-year marriage ends. Somehow, despite never meaning to defy Southern expectations for parenting, marriage, work, and friendship, Smith has found herself doing just that for over four decades. 

Rules for the Southern Rule Breaker will resonate with every woman, southern or not, who has a tendency to wander down the hazy side roads and realizes the rewards that come from listening to the pull in one’s heart over the voice in one’s head.

Leah Ann Brown grew up in beautiful Southern Oregon, where her love for nature and fantasy was first ignited. As a young girl she spent hours outside playing make believe. This is where she first learned to love fantasy, along with the books and stories shared by her mother and grandmother throughout her life. With such creative encouragement from family, she drew her first picture book in first grade. From there her love for imagining and storytelling only grew stronger, until one day she decided to make her dreams a reality and began her storytelling journey to be published.

One of her passions is to see the next generation walk in the fullness and greatness of who they were created to be and know that obstacles can be overcome with hard work. As a young girl she struggled with reading because of dyslexia. But she didn’t let a label and challenge hold her back. She continued to work hard through school and her learning challenges, sometimes having to work harder than others.

Throughout life she had to overcome fears of not being good enough, and not give up on her dreams. She graduated at the top of her class in high school and went on to get her Pharmacy tech. license and massage license. In college she loved creative writing but still let fear hold her back from taking the first steps in writing a book. Could someone with dyslexia write a book? The stories as a young girl showed characters overcoming obstacles, so why couldn’t she.

Chronicles of the Hidden Realms: Return of the Light

]]> EPISODE 312 - Leah Brown - The Fantastical World Building of The Chronicles of the Hidden Realms

Leah Ann Brown grew up in beautiful Southern Oregon, where her love for nature and fantasy was first ignited. As a young girl she spent hours outside playing make believe. This is where she first learned to love fantasy, along with the books and stories shared by her mother and grandmother throughout her life. With such creative encouragement from family, she drew her first picture book in first grade. From there her love for imagining and storytelling only grew stronger, until one day she decided to make her dreams a reality and began her storytelling journey to be published.

One of her passions is to see the next generation walk in the fullness and greatness of who they were created to be and know that obstacles can be overcome with hard work. As a young girl she struggled with reading because of dyslexia. But she didn’t let a label and challenge hold her back. She continued to work hard through school and her learning challenges, sometimes having to work harder than others.

Throughout life she had to overcome fears of not being good enough, and not give up on her dreams. She graduated at the top of her class in high school and went on to get her Pharmacy tech. license and massage license. In college she loved creative writing but still let fear hold her back from taking the first steps in writing a book. Could someone with dyslexia write a book? The stories as a young girl showed characters overcoming obstacles, so why couldn’t she.

BOO TRUNDLE is a writer, artist, and performer whose work has appeared across various platforms and publications, including The Brooklyn Rail, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and NPR’s The Moth. She has released three albums of original music with Big Deal Records. She lives in New Jersey. The Daughter Ship is her first novel.

The Book: About The Daughter Ship

This irreverent debut delivers a headlong human comedy of trauma and triumph, narrated by the concealed inner selves of a woman on the brink: Katherine, a lost creative soul and suburban mother of two, who has struggled into her forties with the urge to self-harm.

Katherine, an attentive mother to her teenagers, comfortably married to her strapping provider of a husband, longs to overcome her dark thoughts and intermittent fears of sexual intimacy.

This brisk, mesmerizing version of her life is told in alternating short chapters by Truitt, Star, and Smooshed Bug—her inner children, each with their particular strategy for coping with Katherine’s past at the hands of a hopeless mother and a terrifying, seductive father. Several of her female ancestors, Confederate widows and their daughters, who’ve imposed a legacy of racism and damage on her bloodline, also join the telling.

The assembled ghosts and contenders for Katherine’s ear are gathered in a rusting WWII submarine off the coast of Virginia Beach where the truth of her life is, quite literally, submerged. Will they surface with it? Will they protect her from it, or deliver it to her?

This unforgettable chorus of charming selves, battling over Katherine’s wellbeing, is unified by their hope for her future, as they collaborate to shape a personal narrative like no other we’ve experienced in fiction.

“Wild as stormy water, turbulent as a human heart, The Daughter Ship is a novel like none you’ve ever read before. It tracks the scattered parts of one woman as she fractures and finds herself over her lifetime. Boo Trundle is a deep, dark, far-seeing storyteller, who has written a wholly original and unforgettable debut.” —Julia Phillips, author of Disappearing Earth (National Book Award Finalist)

“This is a stunningly original, compulsively readable, darkly funny, and profoundly moving novel about the emotional cargo women carry in our minds and bodies, and how healing is possible—even from our deepest, darkest secrets.” —Leigh Stein, author of Self Care

It's strange. I've spent years writing about other people, whether it be in my work as an academic, writing about the experiences of gamblers, my life as a sports reporter and editor at a small newspaper, writing about the lives and work of athletes and those around them, or even my fiction writing career, creating people and worlds from whole cloth. Almost a decade spending my time writing about people, but writing about myself remains elusive.

​Jason Pchajek (Pay-Jack) is a Canadian author from Winnipeg, Manitoba. With a deep interest in climate, biotechnology, human enhancement, inequality, and the future of our species, delving into the realm of "Cli-fi" with his debut novel Bounty was a natural first step in his writing career.

Receiving his Master's degree in Sociology from the University of Manitoba in 2020, Jason has spent much of the last decade studying a variety of topics, while gaining experience working as an academic, journalist, radio host, hockey play-by-play announcer, and corporate researcher.

When not working on his next project, Jason spends his time reading, playing video games, or prepping for his next DnD session. He is a member of the Manitoba Writer's Guild, a voter for the Aurora Awards, staff writer for the UWPG Film Festival, and published academic.

You can follow Jason on Twitter at @JasonPchajek and Instagram at @JasonPchajek. He regularly posts news updates, articles, and review to the site blog, and you can sign up to never miss a post!

In this episode Keri Cooper, author of “Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs to Know” tells us about her book and how it helps people build a foundation for mental health. She also shares with us how she took a private practice and converted it into a thriving business.
 
Many teens today lack the coping skills that are necessary to address life’s ups and downs. They often feel disconnected emotionally, and are unable to handle stress, peer and relationship issues, or the school, college, or work environment.

When a teen is struggling with academics, they receive tutoring or support to develop the skills they need to succeed. Emotional health is no different. Teens need tools to help them regulate their emotions, develop connections with others, and create a healthy, well-rounded lifestyle.

I take an integrated, solution-focused approach to working with adolescents and young adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I treat the whole person, not just their symptoms, with the goal of giving them the tools they need to manage whatever comes their way – now and for the rest of their lives.

Holding multiple state licenses, I work in-person with local clients in my Ramsey office, as well as remotely with clients outside of the Bergen County, New Jersey area, and those located in Pennsylvania, Florida, and South Carolina.

The Book: Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs to Know

Looking to Raise a Mentally Strong Young Adult.

  • Finding it difficult to deal with life’s ups and downs
  • Feeling disconnected emotionally

You’ll want to read my new book Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs to Know. Over the course of my 20 year career in working with tweens and teens, I’ve recognized that you can’t have good mental health without good physical health.

]]> EPISODE 305 - Keri Cooper - Mental Health Uncensored for Adults and Youth - Take Real Steps Forward

In this episode Keri Cooper, author of “Mental Health Uncensored: 10 Foundations Every Parent Needs to Know” tells us about her book and how it helps people build a foundation for mental health. She also shares with us how she took a private practice and converted it into a thriving business.
 
Many teens today lack the coping skills that are necessary to address life’s ups and downs. They often feel disconnected emotionally, and are unable to handle stress, peer and relationship issues, or the school, college, or work environment.

When a teen is struggling with academics, they receive tutoring or support to develop the skills they need to succeed. Emotional health is no different. Teens need tools to help them regulate their emotions, develop connections with others, and create a healthy, well-rounded lifestyle.

I take an integrated, solution-focused approach to working with adolescents and young adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I treat the whole person, not just their symptoms, with the goal of giving them the tools they need to manage whatever comes their way – now and for the rest of their lives.

Holding multiple state licenses, I work in-person with local clients in my Ramsey office, as well as remotely with clients outside of the Bergen County, New Jersey area, and those located in Pennsylvania, Florida, and South Carolina.

Glenn - Let Life Stick To You, From Lawyer to Author, Share Your Story

E. Vernon F. Glenn is a trial lawyer, crime writer, and founder of  Cooper River Books. Knowing he was in it for the long haul while embarking on his writing journey, he decided to create an imprint of his own to carry his work. Cooper River Books came to him while hiking up the iconic LowCountry ‘mountain’, the Ravenel Bridge and the views are just some of the best around. 

A native Tar Heel, Glenn was educated not only at Choate, UNC-Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest University School of Law, but also by digging deep ditches, running a jackhammer, and hauling block and bricks every summer to the tune of starting at 60 cents an hour. Glenn has been a practicing litigator for more than 40 years and adores the courtroom, as well as Southern people. He does not like fakes, frauds, pedants, poseurs, and better-thans. Comfortable in the cocoons of luxury and in the back alleys of slums, he has never started a fight, but has finished plenty. Glenn has scouted and handicapped football and basketball games, has testified before Congress, and has traveled all about. This story has been flailing about in his mind for years, so one day about a year ago, he sat down and began to write it. Like becoming a trial lawyer, it just spontaneously poured out. He thinks there is much more to say. Glenn now lives in Charleston, South Carolina, and too has a perch in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in the beautiful old R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company Headquarters Building. Also, it would be fair to say that he finds his way back to Chapel Hill on a happy and regular basis. He stays busy.

When the Williamsburg Police Department arrives at Catheryn "Cat" Clark's house on the night of Friday, May 13th to discover her drunk and covered in blood, even she struggles to believe in her own innocence. After all, few people had better reason to want Elaine Reid dead than the woman whose husband she stole after thirty years of friendship.

But as the alcohol-induced fog begins to fade, strange questions surrounding the night's events start to emerge. Who else was at the house the night that Elaine was murdered? Why can't Cat remember anything more than the argument that transpired in the darkened confines of her kitchen? And what might a neighbor's suicide from her college years have to do with proving Cat's innocence? As Cat fights to piece together the puzzle of what happened, Detective Rachel McGowen's fifteen-year hunt for an elusive killer could hold all the answers.

Reasonable is the first in a three-part series that explores just how far one might go to clear their name and protect their loved ones. A fast-paced thrill ride packed with suspense, this enthralling tale of two women’s determination will keep you guessing until the very end.

About the Author

K.T. Carlisle is the pseudonym for a writer in rural Vermont. Since early childhood, Carlisle has dedicated her life to the written word. Earning her B.A. in Writing Arts with a concentration in Creative Writing in 2015 from Rowan University, Carlisle received the Excellence in Writing Arts Award from the university, an honor reserved for students who exhibit exceptional skill as a writer and teacher of writing.

When she is not busy working on her next novel, Carlisle spends her days enjoying all the natural beauty that the Green Mountain State has to offer alongside her incredible husband, four crazy dogs, and flock of chickens.

Somehow, after spending most of his life in the south, Ross found himself living in Milwaukee and loving it. One cold, snowy morning, not too long ago, he woke with a story stuck in his head. That wasn’t unusual, but what happened next was unprecedented. He wrote it down. That small story grew into his first novel, Spirit Sight.

While he contemplated the second book in the Spirit Song trilogy, he started a prequel with his partner of 35 years, Deb. That resulted in Argren Blue which appeared in May 2023.

Some might wonder why he took so long to find his calling in life, but he’s just grateful he did.

Do you have a hater?  You write your book, post your podcast, jump on social media or YouTube - share a piece of yourself with the world only to be swarmed by hate and negative comments like bugs at dusk!

On the How To Podcast Series, a show where I teach and support people on their journey in starting their very own podcast (you should start a podcast as an author, you really should!)  I shared an episode that has garnered over 50,000 listens - yes, I am shocked just as much as you are - in this epiosde I share how to deal with a hater!  This episode has really struck a nerve, but in a good way!  If you would like to hear the episode simply click here!

https://pod.link/1610039000/episode/094643199aa9c1d4de5fb8a3e446e07a

I love this book by Jay Baer, one of my favourite authors in this space, so I thought that I would share it with you!

Hug Your Haters - How to Embrace Complaints and Keep Your Customers

Technology has evaporated the barriers of complaint. With smartphones and always-on Internet access, consumers complain more often and across more channels, many of them public. This requires a completely new system for instantly finding, evaluating, and addressing these complaints.
Jay Baer and Edison Research conducted a landmark study of more than 2,000 consumers and found that not all complainers ("haters") are created equal. In fact, there are two vastly different categories of haters: Offstage Haters and Onstage Haters. The book includes The Hatrix, a detailed examination of the differences between these Offstage and Onstage haters. The book reveals:

  • How, where, and why people complain (by demographic and by channel)
  • How and when consumers expect a response when they complain
  • The advocacy impact of answering (or ignoring) a customer
  • Differences in complaint type and expectations by industry

Supported by dozens of interviews with large and small companies, social networks and review websites, psychiatrists, and legal experts, Hug Your Haters gives listeners a step-by-step process to magnify the impact of happy customer interactions and to minimize the impact of haters and complainers. Customers expect more from businesses than ever before, and the importance of real-time customer service has never been greater. Hug Your Haters explains this new reality and shows listeners how to embrace complaints and turn bad news into good.

Over the past 10 - 12 days you have shown up for our family in a very meaningful way.  Past guests, podcast friends and listeners alike have been sending toughts, prayers, love and encouraging words that I have been sharing with my family and with my Mom.  It has been a very difficult few days, but I wanted to release a short epiosde to thank all of you for your kindness.

When I started a podcast I wasn't totally prepared for the impact of shared voices via the internet - the connections made, the new friendships and the great conversations that have happened with and without a microphone.  For those that have been following these past few days thank you, and for those that might be here for the very first time, thank you for pressing play.

A podcast can be entertainment, a diversion or company - but for me as a podcast host, it has become deeper and far richer by having you as apart of this community.  I am looking forward to more amazing conversations in the future, and Mom if you can still hear my podcast wherever you are, I hope you know that we are always thinking of you.

On behalf of my Mom Sharon, our immediate and extended family - to you, thank you.

I help women to transform their thinking, release limitations and become an impactful coach through my Accredited NLP, Time Line Therapy and Hypnotherapy Certification programmes

Growing up, I hated being me! That lack of self-love grew more and more over the years and by my mid-twenties, I’d hit the self-sabotage button that many times that life was pretty rubbish. I'd managed to get myself into a lot of debt, a relationship that I realise now was abusive in many ways and my health was pretty poor. The funny thing was that looking in from the outside, you would never have known. I was good at putting a smile on my face and pretending I had it together.

The truth was that I felt like I was drowning. I was sure that everyone else knew what they were doing, they’d had lessons in school about life that I’d missed. I spent what should’ve been my ‘fun’ years, having no fun at all! I went from job to job doing work that I found completely unfulfilling whilst racking up the credit cards, the whole time thinking that there has to be more to life.

I’m so thankful that in my mid-twenties, my Mum gave me a book, 'The Secret'. This book introduced a new way of thinking; a way that said I was able to create my reality. Up to that point, life had just happened to me...I was ready to change. I became obsessed and read tonnes of books about the law of attraction, manifestation and creating your reality, I went to seminars, short courses and I watched everything I could find on YouTube, but nothing much changed.

The issue was, I was still me!

Andrew Zimba is a lifelong storyteller. An avid historian, he grew up reading stories of kings and kingdoms as well as tales of myth and magic. A native Minnesotan, he holds degrees from the University of Minnesota and also studied in Poland. Andrew and his wife currently reside in Texas.

I wanted to write a novel for many, many years. Even with my passion for history, I struggled to get beyond even a few pages in writing a historical fiction novel. With historical fiction, I felt like any character I created would just be inserted into a tale that had already been richly told.

I needed the challenge of telling a new tale – one full of its own wondrous, brave, and devious characters.

Envisioning a new place … Ardalencor … recharged my creativity and unleashed the freedom of possibility. I hope you enjoy In Times of War: A Tale of Ardalencor.

The hardest thing I’ve ever done is share a piece of my soul with others. It makes me feel vulnerable. Like a thief who just got spotted by the police with his pants down. Can’t run away now. Gotta face whatever judgement awaits. That’s how I feel when I share my stories. I cringe like a baby tasting a lemon and look at the reader all weird, hoping they want more.

While I cringe, eye twitching, neck straining, there’s one thing that holds me together and that is the truth. Like me. Love me. Hate me. It’s not my decision. The important thing is the olive branch that I’ve extended. I’m trying to connect with you and honored you’re making the effort to hear me out. This is what story telling is. It’s who we are. It’s how we connect and grow together.

If you happen to look up at me while reading and see a ghastly face trembling like Hulk Hogan waking up from a bearhug, just know, I’m happy you gave me the opportunity, pal, and I encourage you to pass along the olive branch to others in your life because we all need to make ourselves vulnerable to be real. We’ve all written terrible prose. We’ve all fallen short of Shakespeare. Forgive yourself and others for those wordy sentences and write the good write. 

Sorry, I can’t end with that. Let’s simmer it down a little. I have a short story you can read for free if you sign up for my newsletter. It is called No Place Like Home. My debut novel, Infernal Fall, will be out in October of 2022. All subscribers will get updates on that and more. Hope you stick around. Say Hello if you do.

After over 40 years practicing psychotherapy and coaching, I had no intention of starting a new phase of my career. In fact, before a colleague used Logosynthesis to end my overreaction to loud events in just a few minutes, while standing in a parking lot, I was planning to retire, content with a long career as a relationship communication expert.

My husband/business partner and I were so intrigued with this recently discovered tool that we just had to learn more. We were thrilled when we found we could help our clients make important life changes in a fraction of the time, and with a fracti

on of the pain ordinarily associated with psychotherapy.

Now, ten years later, we are both Certified Logosynthesis Trainers and Master Practitioners. And now, in addition to a 7-book Secrets of Happy Relationships Series, and several very popular books on psychotherapy, codependency and personal growth, I can offer you two exciting books on Logosynthesis® for rapid anxiety relief using only words.

My first major book, Recovery from Codependency, co-authored with my husband, Jonathan B. Weiss, Ph.D., stated:
       “This book is written to help end the cycle of child abuse, in which the abused child grows into an Adult Child who passes the abuse to his own children. Our purpose is to help create a world in which each child is treated with love, honor, respect and appropriate limits.”

I would now add that all my work is directed toward creating a world where each person is treated that way.

That means helping as many adults as possible heal from their childhood wounds. Adults who experience joy instead of pain can avoid passing on the wounds they experienced when they were small to anyone else.  My hope is to contribute to having safety and appropriate nurturing for all of us.

My professional background also includes a Ph.D. and certification as a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst, International Transactional Analysis Association and Master Certified Coach, International Coach Federation. My work has been translated into German, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic and possibly Russian.

Personally, my personal life has been intertwined with my professional life since I started working with my husband in 1970. We have 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Married in 1960, we have traveled extensively, teaching (and playing) in 13 different countries

The Book: 

The Gardens of Byzantium

The year is 622 A.D., and the Persian and Byzantine empires have been fighting a war in the deserts since before she was born...

Asana's life has been one of turmoil and change. Every year found her uprooted and brought to another foreign land to live an austere life in a garrison with her father, an officer in the Persian Army. But the middle of a war is no place for such a gentle soul.

Before long, she is swept away from her family and forced to flee on the back of her beloved horse. Fate leads her into the hands of a handsome and mysterious Roman soldier who sequesters her in a beautiful palace in the heart of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine empire.

She begins to fall for him, and at last it seems as though she may have found an oasis of happiness in her war-torn world. That is, until news of a Persian army marching toward the city upends her life again, setting in motion an unstoppable chain of events that bring the story to its breathtaking and tragic conclusion...

My heart journey began in November 2015: the physical part on November 27, the spiritual part three weeks earlier. On November 6, around 10:00 pm on a stretch of highway a few hours from my home, I prayed specifically for God to make my life matter in His Kingdom and pledged that I would do anything to that end. Immediately, apprehensive tears streamed down my face as I realized the weight of that promise.

Less than a month later, I almost died from heart failure from an unknown cause: severe idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. I soon learned I had an EF of 8% and spent 14 days in the hospital, most of it in ICU, as doctors tried to save my life. All of this despite having no risk factors, no family history, low blood pressure, low cholesterol levels, and a recent medical evaluation declaring that I had less than 3% chance of ever developing heart disease. I was emergency flighted to Cleveland Clinic and became their most critical patient for 16 months. During that time I wore a Life Vest external defibrillator, carefully titrated my meds to maximum dosages, and eliminated sodium from my diet. I was eventually implanted with a Biventricular CRT-D, a combination pacemaker/internal defibrillator.

Meanwhile, thousands of people prayed for me around the clock despite a grim prognosis and sympathetic tears from every doctor we encountered. Some would say nothing much happened for many, many months, but the miracle was that I survived. Peace enveloped my husband and I, and we held on tight and trusted. Against all medical odds, my EF was restored on March 27, 2017.

I don’t want to mislead you into thinking my journey is over, that the story is fully written. I have had setbacks since, physically, and even spiritually. But God showed up countless times throughout the journey and continues to walk through this with me, as I put my today and tomorrow in His tender, merciful hands, and wait for what is next. I trust in God as a loving father. If He chooses to normalize my heart and grant me years into old age, then may He receive all praise and glory.  If God has a different story that He is writing, please pray I can endure that journey with the grace and peace that is only experienced through the Spirit of God.  Thank you for caring enough to join me in this

EPISODE 276 - JD McCabe - A shockingly true memoir, psychological thriller, and an unbelievable journey into one man’s nightmare.

Book: The Third Gift: My Dance With The Devil (And Her Mother)

J.D. Danny McCabe maintained a loving relationship with his wife for nearly twenty years before the underpinnings of their marriage, family, and world began to crumble. Their foundation had always been rooted in the mantra that trust is the bedrock of a healthy relationship. Indeed, Erin had always claimed that things wouldn’t — couldn’t — work without trust.

But one day, for reasons Danny could not fathom, Erin became suspicious of his every move. Phone calls, text messages, and work emails were manufactured into proof of infidelity, drug addiction, and a network of lies.

She enlisted her mother in her efforts, and together they forged the words of family, trust and honesty into a metaphorical hammer and beat him into the ground. Their accusations accumulated, twisting reality, and eventually resulting in Danny s involuntary hospitalization.

Danny was pushed to the edge and was damn near ready to jump. Then, God intervened. Erin s shocking revelation, her Third Gift, lit the blind spots in his marriage that Danny had never been able to reconcile.

Who is your biggest influence and why?

 I cannot honestly say that I have a single influence. The influence on my life and living as I do has and is an accumulated influence from many sources; my grandparents and their examples; my love for my family; my faith in God, and my overwhelming thankfulness for all He has taken from and given back to me and my family; my church.

Tell us something we don’t know about you.

I am a simple person who doesn’t require much to be content. Just give me some space, easy instrumental music, a nearby shoreline, and a project that I can go to work on, preferably one using my hands and mind, then stand back. I love to work in my yard, read, and collect rocks.

Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you.

What was your favorite book as a child? What is your favorite activity to do with the family?

I didn’t have one; we were not well off, but my grandmother was a schoolteacher, so she would bring the old set of encyclopedias to us when she received new, and I read them again and again as you might a novel. Now, as an adult, I enjoy reading the Clive Cussler Series of books.

Are you working on any other projects? 

I am. Currently; I am finishing up my second book, an anthology of poems and stories of the yearning and sadness of a broken heart, the gratitude of a thankful and loving heart, fond memories being brought to life, everyday scenes, and thought-provoking observations, which I hope like this book, Mission Hope, will bring hope, enlightenment, and joy to those who read it by healing broken hearts and opening the eyes and hearts of the readers to see with compassion and gratitude, all that God has so richly blessed us with.

Howard Bell
Howard Bell has lived life sharing the message that physical and emotional limitations do not have to determine identity or purpose. Instead, I have personally developed the lifestyle and belief that our identity and purpose, if well cultivated, can unlock an amazing destiny.

At the age of one, Howard was diagnosed with Infantile Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The prognosis was fatal. Doctors told his parents he would probably not live beyond the age of five... at best into his early teens. As people of faith, Howard’s parents and family chose to treat him as “normal” and encouraged him to believe he had a divine purpose and that his identity rested in what he believed, not in what others said about him.

Now, more than four decades later, Howard has taken his life’s story around the world to help encourage and inspire others. Seeing others succeed, is what continues to fan the flames of purpose in his life that is unlocking the destiny in people everywhere.

Despite physical challenges, Howard has accomplished many professional and personal goals such as receiving a bachelor’s degree from ASU with highest honors. He also went on to receive a his doctorate. He has been appointed by governors and mayors to serve on various community and political boards. He has been a spokesperson for the Easter Seals Society. He has been the Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for various corporations. He is a published author and has been featured on TBN, 700 Club, and several radio programs throughout the United States. He also hosted the “More Than A Conqueror” radio program for four years.

Today, Howard travels and speaks to businesses, churches, institutions, schools and at various community organizations throughout the world. His mission is to reach the globe with the message that there are no limits for those who believe.

Coaching Authors To Publish

Since 2006, I’ve been on a mission to help individuals just like you prosper with purpose. I am the best-selling author of six inspirational books of my own, and I’ve also helped my clients produce works that have generated more than $20M to build and grow their businesses and ministries.

Although writing, publishing and marketing books seems like second nature to me now, it has not always been this way.

I remember the moment I decided to write and self publish my first book. After receiving the inspiration and getting excited about the possibilities, I went into full-blown panic mode because I had NO IDEA what to do next. I spent a whole year paralyzed with the overwhelm and stress of it all before I finally reached out to a mentor for help.

Why did it take me so long to get help? Well…I thought I could do it by myself. After all, I was an attorney with a law degree, a business degree, and lots of success writing for my clients. Unfortunately, all of that experience and expertise didn’t stop the confusion when it came to writing and self publishing my own book.

It took some time for me to figure it out and nowI’d like to keep you from having to go through the same panic and paralysis when you get ready to create and publish YOUR book.

BettyJoyce's novel, Everybody Here is Kin, forthcoming in 2023 from Madville Publishing.

Here's how writers describe BettyJoyce's book:

"In her beautiful Everybody Here is Kin, BettyJoyce Nash has laid bare the ways our blood betrays and restores us. The book is a powerful exploration of love's shadowy forms, and the ways our relationships are as shaped by desire as they are by the places we've called home, the places we keep running from and toward."

      —Bret Anthony Johnston, international best-selling author of the novel, Remember Me Like This, and the short story collection Corpus Christi. He directs the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas in Austin.

"In Everybody Here is Kin, BettyJoyce Nash tells a coming-of-age tale that challenges notions of motherhood, both familial and as guardians of the earth. Lucille is a girl on the brink of adolescence whose intelligence is matched only by her intuitive knowledge of the natural world—where she's been left to monitor her two younger step-siblings. This story transcends time and place and will be a joy for anyone who loves this transient world.

This is Next Chapter Living

I have held a variety of leadership roles for 40+ years, as a small business owner, non-profit leader, and in several different church ministry roles. I know first-hand that your leadership role is hard work. It is not enough to be good at what you do; you have to also know how to lead and develop those under your leadership. I became a certified life/leadership coach to help other women, like you, along the journey of leadership.

As a leadership coach, I serve as a guide, helping you identify the strengths and weaknesses in your leadership and navigate a path to fully living into this call to lead. We begin with inner work, because you must first learn how to be the BOSS of your self-destructive thoughts so you can give your best before you can effectively be the BOSS who influences others to give their best.

As a life coach, I work with those of you navigating Life’s Next Chapter. A few years ago, I had a full-blown identity crisis when all of the roles and titles I held were stripped away. I realized I had placed my identity in all of these roles and did not know who I truly was without them. The dream I had always had for my life was shattered and I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Since then, I have learned the value of my story and I can honestly say I have never felt more authentically me than I do in this moment! I have a clear calling, a strong passion, a definite purpose and am living the dream of this next chapter of my life, and you can too.

Your God-given identity is the only one that will be with you throughout your life. Prayerfully discern why he thinks the world needs what only you have to offer and become passionate about that!

Book: Elevate Your Voice - 14 Women courageously share a personal story in the hope that it will inspire other women to own and share their stories

Book: Come Back Home To You - Whether expected or unexpected, a life transition can knock you off your feet. Even planned changes, such as moving to a new city, are hard—but changes you didn’t ask for, such as divorce or loss of a loved one? Those can be devastating.

Like many women, Becky Burroughs loved her husband, enjoyed being a mom, and had a successful career. Then, within a few years, her parents died, her position was eliminated, and her husband left their forty-year marriage. Her children were already grown, and she was alone for the first time in her life.

Shattered by grief and unable to shake her fears, she realized that she’d immersed herself so deeply in her various roles as daughter, wife, mother, and professional that she no longer knew who she was without them.

But changes don’t have to be paralyzing. In Come Back Home to You, Becky draws on her personal experience and conversations with dozens of women, as well as her expertise as a life coach, to help you navigate your own life changes, anchored in your true identity as created by God.

You’ll learn about the importance of mindset, how to deal with fear, how to intentionally incorporate joy into your life, and much more. Each section ends with questions for reflection to help you honor your experience, redefine who you are, and design your next life chapter.

Meet Kyllie, a debut author with a passion for storytelling, the Word of God, and the presence of the Holy Spirit. As a wife, mother, and friend, she brings warmth and connection to every relationship she cultivates. A church leader and speaker, Kyllie is passionate about empowering women and seeing the church embrace the fullness of the Kingdom. Recently returning to New Zealand after completing ministry school in California, she is settling back into a slower pace of life and finding inspiration for her subsequent books.  She is enjoying the rich coffee culture, delectable food, and the midcentury modern design of her family home.

The Book: Unlimited Joy

Kyllie Martin thought she’d navigated two decades of suffering well, joyfully even, until God placed her in an environment where she encountered authentic, attractive, overflowing joy.  After witnessing first-hand the strength that joy imparts, she wanted it for herself. So, she asked the Lord to teach her about His joy. Thus began a two-year journey of study and exploration. In her debut book, Unlimited Joy, Kyllie shares what the Lord taught her as she traced the theme of joy throughout the Bible and allowed the Holy Spirit to fill her again and again with the joy of the Lord.

As you read, you will discover there’s more to be had than simply getting through life’s challenges with your faith intact. You’ll learn how to:

Overcome despondency and encounter heaven’s joy

Practically activate joy in your life

Facilitate a joy-outbreak in your community, church, and nation!

Jesus wants you to have more than just a little bit of joy. He wants you to experience the fullness of it! Receive it, release it, and be transformed by the power of supernatural joy.

Stephanie Cotta writes epic fantasy and is the award-winning author of the young adult fantasy novel The Conjurer’s Curse. After discovering the world of Star Wars and the land of Narnia at a young age, her love of Sci-fi/Fantasy has been undying ever since. She loves writing stories of hope amidst insurmountable odds. Her goal as an author is to create realistic characters who struggle, who fail, who question, who doubt, but ultimately triumph so that readers young and old can use these journeys as a conduit that sheds light, hope, and truth on their own struggles. For it is often in peering through the lens of a fictional character that we find courage for ourselves, and the resiliency to face hardships.

The Conjurer’s Curse
Seventeen-year-old Rowan is a walking, breathing curse. He just hasn’t realized it yet.

Since birth Rowan has been the object of scorn in his village. The reason? He’s a dikyli—an outsider with albino skin and an ominous mark blazoned on his neck. So when his fourth guardian-mother is found dead, all blame falls on him, and he is banished before his life-draining curse can strike again. The only path left to Rowan is clear: He must discover who cursed him and alter his horrible fate, or forever lose everyone he loves.

THE CONJURER’S CURSE is a YA epic fantasy packed with fast-paced action-adventure, twists, turns, and romance. Featuring multiple POVs and a morally gray antihero, this novel will keep young and adult readers breathless and yearning for more.

]]> EPISODE 265 - Stephanie Cotta - Editing Tips, Betta Readers and Her Book - The Conjurer's Curse

Stephanie Cotta writes epic fantasy and is the award-winning author of the young adult fantasy novel The Conjurer’s Curse. After discovering the world of Star Wars and the land of Narnia at a young age, her love of Sci-fi/Fantasy has been undying ever since. She loves writing stories of hope amidst insurmountable odds. Her goal as an author is to create realistic characters who struggle, who fail, who question, who doubt, but ultimately triumph so that readers young and old can use these journeys as a conduit that sheds light, hope, and truth on their own struggles. For it is often in peering through the lens of a fictional character that we find courage for ourselves, and the resiliency to face hardships.

The Conjurer’s Curse
Seventeen-year-old Rowan is a walking, breathing curse. He just hasn’t realized it yet.

Since birth Rowan has been the object of scorn in his village. The reason? He’s a dikyli—an outsider with albino skin and an ominous mark blazoned on his neck. So when his fourth guardian-mother is found dead, all blame falls on him, and he is banished before his life-draining curse can strike again. The only path left to Rowan is clear: He must discover who cursed him and alter his horrible fate, or forever lose everyone he loves.

THE CONJURER’S CURSE is a YA epic fantasy packed with fast-paced action-adventure, twists, turns, and romance. Featuring multiple POVs and a morally gray antihero, this novel will keep young and adult readers breathless and yearning for more.

Hello, I'm Donna.

I want to know you.

Anyone can click a camera. I spend extra time connecting with you because I want to tell your story, your vision.

What is it that brings you joy? An aura of contentment can be elicited by a sweet thought of a child. A bold gaze can be conjured by sharing a vision for the future. Some people like to talk. Some people need to run, dance, or sit thoughtfully in silence.

I capture the best images by allowing you to be who you truly are.

Women of Wisdom Book

This began as a art project  to honor women over 50 with a custom portrait and to give them a voice.

I found these women so interesting, it developed into a book! 

May you be inspired to share YOUR wisdom.

Are you a woman looking for direction in a complicated world? Do you long for guidance from wise women who have been there?

Many women have not had a role model to help them find their way. They feel pressured by society to only please others or focus on making peace among their friends and family.

In this powerful collection of stories and portraits, you’ll hear wisdom from women ages 50-95 who share hard-won lessons about courage, grace, and strength.

No matter your age, you will appreciate the advice these 49 women have given to their 20-year-old selves. The portraits are not retouched. These women want to be seen as they truly are. Every wrinkle, age spot, gnarled knuckle and pound has been earned. They are beautiful.

There is no need to travel the road alone. Let these wise women be your guide.

About Lauren
Lauren is an award-winning and best-selling author and CEO, ghostwriter, and book coach at Burning Soul Press. She’s also the mama to two little guys who are her why that drives her every day. She’s an advocate for determined and passionate writers who listen to their soul’s calling and the number one cheerleader for authors who want to share their life through a story, whether fiction or nonfiction. Lauren believes that every single person’s life journey has provided valuable learning opportunity to forge deeper connections with others and make a true difference in this world.

Book Coaching
With book coaching, we work on elements of your book such as structure, voice, tone, message delivery, target audience connection, storytelling, industry expectations, and identify any gaps that may exist between the author telling what they know vs. what the reader still needs to be able to understand. We also set a timeline for when we want the entire book to be done, and I keep you accountable to the milestones we set.

Writing & Publishing Programs
Two options: With the Soul Writer Society program, you join an inspiring community of writers keeping each other accountable to writing their life stories.
The Soulful Author Journey program helps you write, publish, and promote your book in 12 months with weekly group coaching, a transformative coach, and supportive community.

Ghostwriting
Ghostwriting is a service that takes the ideas and stories of the client and transforms them into books that fit the client’s authentic vision, tone, and vision. It is best for clients who have a very specific idea or concept for a book and are willing to provide the ghostwriter with the information and stories they need to be able to write the client’s book in the timeline set.

First it’s five pounds, then ten. Before long, you find yourself fifty pounds overweight and relying on motivation to magically melt the pounds—only your motivation is gone.

Perhaps you’ve always struggled with weight gain. Or maybe this was never a concern until your forties. For most of us, though, weight gain is a constant battle that becomes harder to win the older we are.

How do we make progress against Mother Nature? When do we stop fighting our own bodies? In Fat Loss After 40, retired Naval Officer Eric Guttmann—a health and fitness expert—provides his sensible system for shedding fat without starvation or excessive exercise. He shows you how to adopt a successful mindset and incorporate an elimination diet to reduce inflammation and drop pounds—potentially ten to fifteen in the first thirty days. You’ll learn how to reap benefits from fasting, incorporate a single exercise to boost human growth hormone, and use supplements to optimize cellular energy. If you’re tired of bearing the burden of excess weight, Fat Loss After 40 is the inspiration and know-how you need to lose the pounds—for good.

Eric Guttmann is an author and an Ultimate Human Performance (UHP) certified physio/kinesiology expert who served for more than twenty years in active duty as both a Naval Flight Officer (NFO) and a Foreign Area Officer (FAO). With several instruction certifications, including Elite Combat Fitness and Commando Krav Maga, Eric is a US Navy Certified Fitness Leader (CFL) with degrees in Physical Education and National Security Affairs. He studied acupuncture and Eastern medicine. He was also a collegiate track athlete in the javelin, along with judo and gymnastics.

My Story
When I was thirty the person that I loved and trusted the most in this world died without any warning or time to prepare. I wasn’t left with just heartbreak and longing, I was leftover in a world that no longer made sense to me anymore and sensations in my body that were foreign, involuntary and happening without my consent.

Before my beloved died I’d never experienced a loss that changed my life so dramatically. From my spiritual beliefs to my worldview right down to not knowing what possessive pronouns to use, I was left bewildered. Was it still our bed if I would be the only one sleeping in it now?

In the world I was familiar with, people died when they were old, if you were a good person then good things happened to you. I longed for my future because I thought we, me and my beloved – the person that I chose to spend my life with – were in control of it. But my beloved’s death changed all of that.

In the aftermath of my loss, I quickly realized that my experience of support was unique and unlike the horror stories of isolation and ignorance that I would hear from my widowed peers. With a willingness to lean into personal development, my support network and I dove headfirst into a world that none of us ever wanted to live in. And with unconditional love, courage, and brutal honesty, we’ve been auspiciously navigating how to live without my beloved, together. It’s our collective experience that inspired me to write Grief Ally, and develop a practice in teaching grief allyship because no one will ever know how to support someone they love through the long-haul of grief if we’re not willing to talk about it.

My Philosophy
I believe that grief is a primary human experience that should not be pathologized.
I believe that every human experiences grief in their own unique way.
I believe that it is our right as humans to be able to grieve without judgment from others.
I believe that grief lasts forever, we don’t “get over it” or “move on” or “fix it.”
What is Grief Allyship?
Grief Allyship is the act of supporting and advocating for those who are grieving by providing unconditional love, empowerment, and deep reverence for their experience.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Two of the pioneers in podcasting have joined forces to co-author The Business of Podcasting: How to Take Your Podcasting Passion from the Personal to the Professional, which focuses on the business aspects of producing audio programs for the Web.

The book is now available in trade paperback at this link. It is also on the Amazon Kindle, for instant purchase and download.

The authors are Donna Papacosta of Trafalgar Communications, host of the popular “Trafcom News Podcast” and an internationally known trainer and seminar leader; and Steve “@PodcastSteve” Lubetkin, founder of Professional Podcasts , one of the first podcast production companies and now a division of The Lubetkin Media Companies LLC, an award-winning producer of business and organizational podcasts, with more than three quarters of a million downloads.

Unlike other podcasting books that delve into the mechanics of creating a podcast, The Business of Podcasting describes the business side of podcasting: how to position clients’ expertise through podcasting, the best business models, how to find clients, contracts, legal reviews, and much more.

A nationally published writer and photojournalist, he is a member of the Online News Association, Radio & Television Digital News Association (RTNDA), National Press Photographers Association, the Society of Professional Journalists, and the Professional Photographers of America. Since 1996, he has written “CompuSchmooze,” a technology column in the Jewish Community Voice of Southern New Jersey (www.jewishvoicesnj.org), and since 2014, he has been the New Jersey and Philadelphia editor for GlobeSt.com, a commercial real estate news website, and a contributing editor to Real Estate Forum, its sister print publication.

Set in 622 A.D. during the decades-long war between the Persian and Eastern Roman empires, The Gardens of Byzantium offers a unique backdrop for a tragic love story.

The main characters, Asana and Antonius, are on opposing sides of the war, which began before Asana was even born. Her entire life has been one of turmoil and change. Every year found her uprooted and brought to another foreign land to live an austere life in a garrison with her father, an officer in the Persian Army. But the middle of a war is no place for such a gentle soul.

Before long, she is swept away from her family and forced to flee on the back of her beloved horse. Fate leads her into the hands of a handsome and mysterious Roman soldier named Antonius who sequesters her in a beautiful palace in the heart of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine empire.

Asana begins to fall for him, and at last it seems as though she may have found an oasis of happiness in her war-torn world. That is, until news of a Persian army marching toward the city upends her life again, setting in motion an unstoppable chain of events that bring the story to its breathtaking and tragic conclusion.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Creative at heart, Hughes has been actively pursuing his passion for writing and is excited to launch his debut fiction novel, The Gardens of Byzantium.

More about our guest - I absolutely love hearing about what God is doing in the lives of people. And even more than that, I am passionate about helping others fulfill their purpose and expand their reach.

Hello…I’m Sabrina
I am a wife and mother of 4 and I just recently gained a beautiful new daughter. I chose to step away from working full time as a teacher in order to be home more with my family. As someone who has walked through a lot in my life, I believe we all have our own transformation story and when shared, it can provide hope and encouragement to others.

My journey to podcast booking began with one prayer.
Robyn was a woman who I went to church with. A woman that I only knew from a distance, so I wasn’t sure why the Lord had told me to pray for her. As I would pray, the Lord began to give me a supernatural love for her. My relationship with Robyn grew as I sent her my love and prayers. From there, the Lord said to start praying for her business. Through my prayers and our relationship, I learned that she had an incredible testimony and message that I believed others needed to hear. I approached Robyn about helping her share her testimony and she quickly responded by saying that the lord had already told her she was supposed to speak to many.

From there, the Lord has sent more women that I’m honored to partner with and their stories and journey’s continue to grow. How exciting it would be to add your story to that journey!

Wayne McDaniel is a grandfather of two.  He and his wife, Jude, live in a beautiful log house in Lawrence Kansas, along with their dog Trek.  He loves to bicycle and hike.  Wayne says, “A day in the mountains is worth a thousand days in the office!” 

Wayne has travelled all over the world, including Iceland, Italy, India, Kyrgyzstan, China, Australia, Mexico and Central America.  He is very grateful his company was able to adopt two villages in India, bringing hope and opportunity to thousands of rural people.

Wayne is a seeker of truth and lover of the Great Light, as he is loved greatly by the Great Light.

From his teenage years, Wayne has been interested in spiritual matters.  He grew up in St. Louis, attended a Presbyterian church, met some Catholic charismatics, was baptized in the Spirit, went to Oral Roberts University and become deeply involved in his church as an adult.  He always loved to study and read about theology.

However, he was never comfortable with many of the judgmental, dogmatic and exclusive perspectives of organized religion.  Through ongoing study, he came to embrace a broader spiritual perspective, which sees God as Universal Love and Light and each person as an expression of that Light. Understanding scriptures through mystical eyes, he can see this truth within the Christian scriptures as well as many other religious traditions.

His mission in life is to help others increase their capacity to live and to give.  He does this through his work and writings.  His goal with this book is to help young children and their parents know the truth about how precious they are and how much they are loved.

Stay tuned, preorder information for Wayne’s 1st book, Children of the Great Light will be coming soon. 100% of the profits of this book will be donated to children-oriented charities, which promote the well-being of kids.

Laurence Braun-Woodbury is a writer of fiction. His debut novel Glamorous Failures is available now.

Glamorous Failures is a tapestry of interwoven narratives that build elegantly on one another to create a thrilling, emotionally resonant whole. Its vivid, distinctive characters are brimming with vivacity and deeply felt humanity. This narrative-driven hopepunk dramedy is a remarkable offering from first-time novelist Laurence Braun-Woodbury. Full of heart and humour Glamorous Failures will move you like few books can.

An obscure professor of business ethics nurses a grudge against power. A burned out social worker gives up on her profession, no longer certain her work is making a difference but believing she still can. A strangely charming freelance computer repair tech wraps copper wire around an electrified magnet...

Flowing in and out of eachothers lives, these diverse personalities strive to make a better world by building solidarities and finding pathways towards a low-overhead revolution. Their various projects precipitate a cozy kidnapping on the prairies, a peoples' inflationary crisis, and the distribution of non-lethal DIY weapons for the war against the archons of ecocide. Their stories overlap in unexpected ways, not least of which is their shared refusal to despair. Steeped in labour and love, the misadventures of these recognizable protagonists coalesce into a hopepunk dramedy made for the age of cataclysm.

Glamorous Failures is a tapestry of interwoven narratives that build elegantly on one another to create a gripping, emotionally resonant whole. Its vivid, distinctive characters are brimming with life and deeply felt humanity. Full of heart and humour, this intricately layered story will move you in a way few books can.

What is it like to be in love with a drug addict?

Danyelle Cedar learns the answer to this question the hard way, never leaving her partner's side through an endless cycle of relapse and recovery, holding desperately onto hope. And she battles her own addictions in her efforts to save him: her addiction to being needed, her addiction to success, her addiction to proving others wrong, and her addiction to love.

After accumulating and then unburying herself from an avalanche of debt, she opens a successful air-conditioning company, working hard and never giving up so that one day a perfect future might fall into place. She has their entire life planned out, and it is beautiful, until she is completely blindsided.

Dear Thomas is a series of letters sharing an inner journey of heartache, patience, physical and mental stress, betrayal, and surviving the most horrific and sometimes humorous experiences imaginable, all while supporting and saving someone incapable of love.

Our mission is to craft and share cuisine for the modern nomad. We live in Sweet Bea, our short bus, and turn out both gourmet fare and easy, weeknight recipes from our tiny kitchen and 3-burner stove. The goal is to empower you to realize that cooking excellent food in a tiny kitchen is not only possible, but easy, and that the rewards are certainly worth the effort.

In the autumn of 2017, Andy left a career as a wildland firefighter in order to pursue his other passions of cooking, travel, and writing. Over the three years that followed, he met the love of his life, turned a retired short bus into a tiny home, and hit the road to see the world and share his love of cooking and delicious food with everyone he could find.

What you have here, The Buslife Kitchen, is the culmination of years of work and exploration. Through plenty of travel, many books, and countless hours in the kitchen, Andy taught himself about the foods of the world and how to prepare them. He then set about the task of refining these recipes for use in a tiny kitchen with only a 3-burner propane stove and no oven. And there you have it: cuisine for the modern nomad.

Christa Joy Spaeth is the founder of Christa Joy Ministries. It was in 2022 when Minnesota-based author Christa received a compelling message from God. In a prayer cabin called “Whisper,” He prompted her to write a seven-week devotional.

Since then, Christa’s eyes, heart, and ears were opened to more whispers, so that she may start fulfilling her new purpose of helping the hurting and share the love of Christ.

This blessed wife, mother of two, and businesswoman is passionate about living up to God’s plans for her every day. So much so that in 2022, she stepped down from her decades-long career as a Registered Dietitian at a large food manufacturing company to pursue the promptings of the Lord and encourage others in Christ.

Today, Christa owns and operates Christa Joy Ministries where she publishes her own books, hosts a podcast, and writes daily encouragements on her social media. In addition, she does guest blog posts for various social media accounts.

Background
Christa is a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s in Nutrition. She has extensive experience working in a test kitchen and with K12 nutrition for a large food manufacturer. Christa also worked as an independent dietitian consultant analyzing menus, and as a community volunteer.

“Powerful Whispers: A 7-Week Journey Discovering Who You Are to God” by Christa Joy Spaeth is the tool you need to grow your trust, love, and knowledge of the Lord’s love for you in just 7 weeks.

This self-processing, devotional book is broken up into 7 weekly themes:

Week 1: God Knows You
Week 2: God Loves You
Week 3: God Fights for You
Week 4: God Provides for You
Week 5: God Chose You
Week 6: God’s Peace for You
Week 7: The God Who Whispers

The book is made richer by 6 other contributors who provide different enriching and encouraging perspectives from the Lord. As you immerse yourself in each Bible reference, story, suggested worship, prayer, reflection space, and activation every single day.

Even better? You get powerful worship music playlists to soak in more of God’s love and greatness daily!

If you’re ready to gain a keener ear and heart to God’s daily whispers to you, then this book is exactly what you need!

Hi there! I am Meliza.

I am a wife and mum of two awesome kids. Life is full here in Preston, UK. When I am not running the household or playing taxi, I am writing books, developing courses, and coaching people – helping them to walk in freedom; in their true identity and purpose.

I love what I do and I enjoy my life – but this was not always how I would tell my story.

My story started in an ideal setting. I was born and raised in beautiful South Africa. The first-born daughter of a pastor. My parents loved me dearly and provided a great life for me and my sister. But like any story, there are often twists and turns that we don’t anticipate. Enter: an enemy that comes to kill, steal and destroy.

Left in the pit of despair with little hope of freedom, empty from pouring myself out for everyone, and tired from trying to fix my own self-destructive behaviours, I was ready to give up on God. It felt like He didn’t see or care about me. It felt like my desperate cries for freedom fell on deaf ears.

But one day, God showed up on the big screen. At the cinema on the docks in Preston, He showed me that, He not only saw my suffering, but He cared deeply about my heart. It was time to move out of the pit of despair and into the palace where I belonged – seated in heavenly places with the Father who loves me.

Part memoir, part self-help, all transformative, it will help you to avoid the poor life choices, bad decisions and difficult paths that often ruin your plans. It's never too late to act.

Remove yourself from toxic relationships, help your heart to heal and set new boundaries that will see you thrive as never before. Do it now and give yourself the chances in life that you deserve.

Hello, I'm Debbie...
For most of my life, my set of beliefs was fairly consistent with my upbringing and life experience. Certainly, all of us are shaped by the people, places, and circumstances of our lives. I was not one to ever question those beliefs. I just assumed they were correct and to be quite honest, I never really gave it any thought.

My life changed forever the day after I graduated from high school when my Dad had a massive stroke. He survived and I was his primary caregiver for the next 30 years. This was the beginning of me taking care of everyone else at the expense of myself.

I was and still am a "fixer" and a "problem solver". I have a strong desire to be the one to help, which is admirable (if I do say so myself ), however, I sacrificed my own well-being in the process.

My belief was "it is what it is". It's not like I have a choice.

My life has always been about doing everything for everyone else without giving much consideration to my own needs and wants. I would hear what other people were doing and often be jealous and think, "that must be nice, but I can't do that". Anyone who offered a suggestion, I always had a reason why "I can't do it". Other people can, but I can't.

Until I turned 50 and realized that this is it. This is my one and only life and I don't want to look back years from now with regret for the things I haven't done.

Maybe I can try something new.
Maybe I can put myself first.
Maybe I can take control of my future.
Maybe I can live the life of my dreams.
After all, other people do it, so why not me?

I'm done with my excuses and ready to take back my life and I know exactly how I'm going to do it.

You can hide. But in the end, the past catches up with you

About Ivanka Fear
Ivanka Fear is Canadian writer, born in Slovenia. She earned her B.A. and B.Ed. in English and French at Western University. Prior to pursuing writing full time, she enjoyed a long career in education. Her debut novel, The Dead Lie, is the first in her Blue Water Mysteries series. Ivanka is a member of International Thriller Writers and Sisters in Crime. She resides in Ontario, Canada, with her family and the stray cats that wandered in. When not reading and writing, Ivanka enjoys watching mystery series and romance movies, gardening, going for walks, and watching the waves roll in at the lake.

Book: The Dead Lie: A Blue Water Mystery

You can run. You can hide. But in the end, the past catches up with you.

Lana, a young mother who suffered a traumatic event 11 years ago, has been living under an assumed name. When she visits her hometown to check if it’s safe to reclaim her identity, Lana suffers several mishaps. Then her parents are killed in a car crash. Lana blames herself and her past mistakes until she discovers her mom and dad weren’t who they claimed to be, leading her to suspect their secrets may be responsible for their deaths.

Lana returns to her family’s native Croatian village to visit her grandmother in hopes of learning the truth about her parents and the reason they died. When she meets the villagers, they slam their doors in Lana’s face at the mention of her father. Meanwhile, the near misses that happened back home follow her to Croatia, as does a tall, dark stranger.

Lana probes into the village’s past and uncovers a cold case and a decades old curse, bringing out the ghosts of the past and putting herself in the same danger her parents ran from years ago.

About Jane
Jane L. Rosen is an author and Huffington Post contributor. She lives in New York City and Fire Island with her husband and three daughters.  Her first novel Nine Women, One Dress was translated into ten languages.  Her second novel Eliza Starts a Rumor has been optioned by NBC.  Her latest novel, On Fire Island, is out now!

Book: On Fire Island - "Dazzling...as funny as it is poignant, nostalgic as it is sharp." —Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After

A book editor spends one last summer on Fire Island in this sparkling and surprising new novel from the author of A Shoe Story.

As a book editor, Julia Morse lived and breathed stories. Whether with her pen to a manuscript or curled up with a book while at her beloved Fire Island cottage, her imagination alight with a good tale, she could anticipate practically any ending. The ending she’d never imagined was her own.

To be fair, no one expects to die at thirty-seven. So when the unthinkable happens to Julia, rather than following the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel, she chooses to spend one last summer near those she loves most. 

As she follows her adoring, novelist husband Ben to their—unexpectedly full—home on Fire Island, she discovers the ripple affect her life has had on the trajectory of so many: her baseball loving, young-at-heart neighbor who believes it’s best not to go it alone, two bright-eyed teenagers eager to become adults, and her best friend who must shake off heartbreak for a new chance at love.

With poignant comedy and insight, On Fire Island is an ode to the stories all around us and to the brightest types of loves…for the people closest to you and the places that shape you.

DON'T MAKE ANOTHER HEALTHCARE DECISION WITHOUT READING THIS BOOK
"If men had cramps, they'd have cured this by now..."

"I told my doctors about my pain for years, but they told me it was all in my head..."

"My doctor removed my IUD without anesthesia because 'there aren't any nerve endings in there.' Boy, was he wrong!"

These and countless other comments from women who've suffered at the hands of the healthcare industry are frighteningly common... but they don't have to be.

Sidelined: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health discloses how women have been marginalized and hesitate to take control over their own healthcare. But what's behind this nationwide medical crisis? Too often, women downplay or ignore their symptoms to avoid being "difficult," often blaming themselves for serious illness.

The end result could be inferior care, which can lead to serious consequences.
In Sidelined, writer and researcher Susan Salenger explains why women are misdiagnosed more often than men, and why their symptoms often go unrecognized or even disputed. This book teaches readers how to take charge of their health, make informed decisions, and leave their appointments with answers instead of just questions.

Knowing how to advocate for your own healthcare can mean the difference between healthy outcomes and years of needless agony, or even death.

This important women's health book equips readers with the knowledge, language, and skill sets they need to overcome the gender bias that is present in the medical industry and get the best healthcare possible.

About the Author
Susan Salenger was born and raised in Los Angeles, and for more than twenty-five years owned Salenger Films, which produced corporate training and development films and distributed them around the world, with her husband. Sue wrote the scripts and the workbooks that accompanied the films. Once her children had grown up and she had some time for herself, Sue took some anthropology classes at UCLA. Her final project for one of those classes was a study of women who had undergone hysterectomies; that study was the catalyst for this book.

Sue’s wonderful husband has passed away, but she has two fabulous daughters and four incredible grandchildren. They all live in Petaluma, California, and see each other often.

Making Art In Prison: Survival And Resistance
The United States is the most incarcerating nation in the world. Over two million people are locked behind bars, where they endure the degradation and violence of a dehumanizing system. But in prisons around the country, incarcerated people have regained their dignity by creating objects of beauty, meaning, and value.

In Making Art in Prison: Survival and Resistance, Janie Paul introduces readers to the culture and aesthetics of prison art communities, and shares heart wrenching, poignant, and often surprisingly humorous artists’ narratives. These powerful stories and images upend the manufactured stereotypes of those living in prison, imparting a real human dimension—a critical step in the movement to end mass incarceration. 

For 27 years, Paul has traveled throughout Michigan to meet artists and select work for the project she co-founded: The Annual Exhibitions of Artists in Michigan Prisons, an initiative of the Prison Creative Arts Project at the University of Michigan. Pedagogical as well as curatorial, the project has provided crucial validation for the artists. Making Art in Prison features over 200 images of their extraordinary work. 

Delving deeply into the ways in which incarcerated artists create meaning through their artistic practice, Paul explains how the making, sharing, and formation of artistic friendships within prisons can constitute acts of resistance against the violence and banality of prison life. Most of the artists did not make art before coming to prison. Their accomplishments show that art making need not be a privilege of the few, but is rather a basic human need, and in these circumstances, a necessary means of survival.

Making Art in Prison reveals—through the eyes of the artists who have lived through it—what mass incarceration looks and feels like in the United States. It reveals the ways in which they keep their humanity intact; it invites us to reflect on our own humanity and the problem of living in a country that incarcerates more of its population than any other nation in the world. It also invites us to look closely at the images and appreciate the richness of life and luminosity emerging from the darkest corner of our country.

Glove Shy: A Sister's Reckoning

The heartbeat of family life is the thump of fists on a heavy bag.
In the 1970s, Janet Hurley’s older brother, Brian, was the teenage protégé of a World Heavyweight Champion who lived in their hometown. Brian was a young man of brilliance and wit. His talents were broad, yet boxing was the path he chose. And, soon enough, family life revolved around his training, his bouts, his future: Olympic medals? A pro career?

Glove Shy is a tender-tough memoir, a loving look at how a sport as elemental as boxing can obscure the powerful forces this family never saw coming. But, when one of your own is in the ring, slugging, being slugged, what else can matter?
Glove Shy is a well-told story of what happens when the blows hit far beyond the ropes. Hurley is a talented writer, with strong and vivid prose. She is also brave, willing to get in the ring with her own past.

About the Author

Janet Hurley was born and raised in the Hudson Valley of upstate New York before heading south to Carolina (the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) for its undergraduate creative writing program. She has lived in the south ever since, most recently in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western NC, where she and her husband David raised their daughter, Maren, and son, Liam.

After receiving an MFA in Creative Non-fiction from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, in 2008, Janet published feature stories and profiles for North Carolina-based magazines, Our State and VERVE. She also ran a small business, True Ink, which provided creative opportunities for young writers. In 2011, she co-founded Asheville Writers in the Schools and Community (AWITSC), a non-profit committed to racial equity and social change through the power of arts, culture and restorative self-expression. And, from 2013-2016, she taught creative non-fiction and writing for the media as an adjunct in the undergraduate writing program at Warren Wilson College. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic forced many transitions, including, fortunately, a re-focus on her own writing.

 Glove Shy: A Sister’s Reckoning is Janet’s first book-length publication. She lives in Asheville, NC with her husband David and their dog, Wilson.

Dave Bahr is an author, speaker, and comedian fo­cused on demystifying the public’s perception of how to interact with people with disabilities. As the founder of In-Sightful Living, Dave works as an accessibility con­sultant, aiding organizations to enhance their systems, environments, events, and cultures to be supportive of people with disabilities. Blind from birth, he teaches that having a disability is not a hindrance, but an asset.

Dave holds a B.A. in Psychology and a Masters of Historical Musicology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and is proud to have studied with the Coaches Training Institute to further his personal development and leadership skills.

Dave’s funny and often irreverent wit allows him to use storytelling to illustrate that people should not be afraid of disability. He encourages curiosity, tact, and hu­mor over political correctness, fear, and ignorance. Outside of accessibility and advocacy, he is passionate about music and baseball.

PRAVE = Priscilla + Dave. Meet Priscilla and Dave—two headstrong people with very different but complementary disabilities. When they met, fireworks flashed, but they soon became inseparable and each other’s "other half." Together, they attacked and overcame every obstacle in their way—and had one hell of a time doing it. Follow the story of their fiery love affair among moments of raucous laughter, fear, joy, sadness, and incredulity at people's behavior. Share their passion as persons with disabilities who refused to accept limitations on living life to the fullest. PRAVE = Proud

Chocolate Adventure Mentor. Author of upcoming chocolate & pirate books. Chocolate Pairing events.

Adventures in chocolate?  Definitely!  Creating an adventure mindset includes being curious, trying new things and trying familiar things differently.  Chocolate is a great starting point.  (It’s chocolate – so it can be an adventure at any point!).  Since being told that the cacao bean is my spirit animal, I have learned about chocolate in-depth.  From seminars at Harvard University, to touring “fincas” in Central America, to conducting countless chocolate pairings and beyond – I love exploring it all.  And sharing with you!

Mark Craven is the author of Dads, Kiss Your Sons and several other self-help titles. He has worked in higher education for more than a decade assisting college students in achieving their academic goals. Mark has worked at the University of Southern California, Carnegie Mellon University, and has spent most of his career at the Community College of Allegheny County as a mathematics instructor and senior advisor. He completed his BSc in Biology at Carlow University and his MEd in Higher Education Leadership at the University of Pittsburgh. Mark lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his family.

The Book: Dads, Kiss Your Sons

Terrified to Become a Dad? So Was I.

Fear is often our first response when we discover we are going to be fathers. We talk to just about everyone we know or search for quick answers to give us some sense of confidence to see our way through the unknown ahead. But what if you didn’t have a dad? What if you didn’t have role models to follow? What if the whole idea of being a dad is so completely foreign to you that quantum mechanics seems easier to master? That’s my story along with becoming everything to my son that I never had growing up.

As a teacher and coach in higher education, Mark Craven has researched numerous behavioral studies as well as the biology of neurological systems pointing to insights for new and expectant dads to adhere in Dad’s, Kiss Your Sons, bringing a whole new level of significance to being a dad.

The current generation of dads has made fatherhood a part of their self-identity. They are seeking resources and feeling that there aren’t enough content-related resources available to them.

Host of the So God Told You To Write a Book - Now What Podcast

From the bedtime stories my dad read to me and my brothers, to the required reading of various literature classes, to the novels consumed in the quiet of the night, stories have always captivated my heart.

Growing up in Minnesota as the daughter of educators, at times I found myself in the back seat of a station wagon travelling on family vacations during a break in the school-year calendar. My two older brothers were the perfect companions on these journeys. The eldest had an uncanny ability to map out our routes to ensure that we investigated and enjoyed as many aspects of our outings as was humanly possible. And the middle brother was my built-in entertainment. He and I engrossed ourselves in developing talk-shows and other narratives that required quirky characters, funny voices and distinct accents.

But it was not until January of 2015, when a divine prompting dropped from the blue into my heart, that I even entertained the notion of writing a novel. Frankly, I didn’t know if I could. But with my children all grown and my husband’s business requiring less and less of my attention, space had finally opened up for me to do what I had in my heart to do. So, I chose to give myself to learning the process of moving a story up out of my heart and onto the pages of a book. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the quirky characters, interesting settings, and imaginative realms that once intrigued me as a young person should now bubble up in my books. It reminds me that our Heavenly Creator is very intentional about our earthly journey.

As I write, I sometimes feel as if I am still travelling in the back seat of a station wagon with my Jesus at the wheel and my characters as my companions filling my heart with their stories as we traverse both life on the planet and that which is to come. Can’t wait to see what’s up around the bend.

The Book: Tom’s Story: My 16 Year Friendship with a Homeless
Tom’s Story is about the author’s friendship with Tom Hogan, a First Nations man who was perpetually homeless, a self-described chronic alcoholic, and a person who had episodes of psychosis. He was also a great storyteller and a gifted Woodland style artist.

Jo-Ann first met Tom in 1998 when she volunteered to co-ordinate an art group for people who were homeless. She was an outreach worker and an HIV counsellor at the time. During the sixteen years of their friendship, she spent countless weekend and evening hours sitting on sidewalks beside Tom, listening and observing, then heading home to write it all down.

With Tom’s permission, she wrote about the hard realities of his life – a traumatic childhood, sleeping in bug-infested shelters, or panhandling in the sub-zero weather for just one more bottle. She became Tom’s ally when he entered and left recovery programs, or simply searched for a safe place to live. Sometimes she helped; sometimes she got in the way. Other times, she tried to walk away, but she was always compelled to seek him out again to follow his story.

Tom’s Story is a unique and raw window into the lives of people who are homeless and marginalized because of addictions, mental illness, and generational trauma. This book is a testament to the power of hope, friendship, the generosity of people who own nothing, and using art to promote healing. It is also a strong argument for the harm-reduction model of managed-alcohol programs.

]]> E219 - Jo-Ann Oosterman - The Story of Tom - The Homeless Man of Many Pockets and His Art

The Book: Tom’s Story: My 16 Year Friendship with a Homeless
Tom’s Story is about the author’s friendship with Tom Hogan, a First Nations man who was perpetually homeless, a self-described chronic alcoholic, and a person who had episodes of psychosis. He was also a great storyteller and a gifted Woodland style artist.

Jo-Ann first met Tom in 1998 when she volunteered to co-ordinate an art group for people who were homeless. She was an outreach worker and an HIV counsellor at the time. During the sixteen years of their friendship, she spent countless weekend and evening hours sitting on sidewalks beside Tom, listening and observing, then heading home to write it all down.

With Tom’s permission, she wrote about the hard realities of his life – a traumatic childhood, sleeping in bug-infested shelters, or panhandling in the sub-zero weather for just one more bottle. She became Tom’s ally when he entered and left recovery programs, or simply searched for a safe place to live. Sometimes she helped; sometimes she got in the way. Other times, she tried to walk away, but she was always compelled to seek him out again to follow his story.

Tom’s Story is a unique and raw window into the lives of people who are homeless and marginalized because of addictions, mental illness, and generational trauma. This book is a testament to the power of hope, friendship, the generosity of people who own nothing, and using art to promote healing. It is also a strong argument for the harm-reduction model of managed-alcohol programs.

The Book: here's Coffee in the Fridge: One Man's Journey Through Anxiety and Depression

Does our past define us? Or does it merely serve to inform our future?

At its heart, this book is a story of overcoming anxiety and depression, as well as suicidal tendencies and attempts. With a remarkably candid approach, peppered with dry humor and keen observation, author James Francis takes us on a journey that is all at once deep, dark, twisting, and ultimately so very redemptive.

One part gripping memoir, and one part how-to guide, you will come away with tools such as:

A better understanding of anxiety and depression
Ideas for a roadmap to personal mental health
Exploration of personal and romantic relationship dynamics in regard to mental health
Notable authors to read on the journey to healing
Music suggestions to stir your soul and learn from
A reality check on the uniqueness of each person’s journey
And so much more…

This is a book of triumph, a victory over mental health struggles earned through the hardest of trials. You can use your past to create a healthier future too - it starts here, it starts now.

About James Francis
James Francis is an entrepreneur and professional speaker. He has been a successful executive starting and running several businesses in the well-being and insurance markets.

He grew up on Long Island and he and his family have lived on the shoreline of Connecticut for over 28 years.

Nick Stitle is a young, rising author with several projects in development.

Nick is seventeen years old, and while Stormless is his first “real” book, it is far from the first story that he has ever told.

After spending nearly all of my middle school years and the first half of my high school career writing novels and building worlds of myth, I am finally ready to share my works with the world.

I live in Indiana, with my mom and dad, my older brother, and my two dogs.

Stormless, the first installment of a massive high fantasy series, is in the final editing stages. Stormless welcomes readers into the world of Auris, a continent ripe with epic histories, unique magic systems, and complex characters. The second of four installments is in the final editing stages as well.

About the Author
Dominique Krystal Dawn is a sage that uses creative storytelling to dive deeper into the personal motivations and pain point perspectives masked as ordinary life decisions. She was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, where she learned the tough spiritual lessons that each soul must grow through. Dominique desires to reignite hope and facilitate healing and self-realization in each reader so that despite their beginning, they can get back on purpose and live a fulfilling life.

Why is life so hard?

That’s the question that Stormey Knights can’t stop asking herself. She doesn’t know her father, and her mother, Amber, has been prostituting to support her drug habit ever since Stormey can remember.

Up until recently, Stormey and her sister, Skye, were best friends but now, Stormey doesn’t know where their relationship lies. Skye started running the streets with her boyfriend, a drug dealer only concerned with fast money and expensive items and it’s only a matter of time before Skye gets caught up.

Worrying about everyone else is making it hard for Stormey to live out her dream and become an artist, a dream that her friend, Ace, supports heavily. But when tragedy strikes his family, she's nervous that he might take the wrong path, too.

The only consistently good thing in her life is her aunt, Jewel, but even Stormey knows that Aunt Jewel won’t be around forever. What will it take for Stormey and her family to come together and turn their lives around?

Book Bio
Cynthia Newberry Martin’s (she/her/hers) first novel, Tidal Flats, won the Gold Medal in Literary Fiction at the 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards and the 14th Annual National Indie Excellence Award for Fiction. Her website features the How We Spend Our Days series, over a decade of essays by writers on their lives. She grew up in Atlanta and now lives in Columbus, Georgia, with her husband, and in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in a little house by the water. Her third novel, The Art of Her Life, will be published in June of 2023.

MORE ABOUT ME
I write novels about relationships, about how characters navigate between separateness and togetherness. About how they balance the need for both time to themselves and time together. About what compromise does to a person’s sense of self.

My early stories, essays, and reviews appeared in Hunger Mountain, Brevity, Gargoyle, Contrary Magazine, Clapboard House, Storyglossia, and Numéro Cinq. For a number of years, which I think of as my crazy years, I served as the Review Editor for Contrary Magazine AND the Writing Life Editor for Hunger Mountain AND I was in graduate school AND in a writing group.

In 2012 I graduated from Vermont College of Fine Arts with an MFA in Creative Writing. Later that year, I was awarded a residency at Ragdale, where I stayed in the Playroom and threw pages from the tower down the stairs… In 2013, because Pam Houston and Karen Nelson needed a third body, I became a founding board member of the literary nonprofit Writing by Writers. The workshops are set in gorgeous places with excellent faculty, and you will find me there selling faculty books.

Book: What A Woman: My Story for God’s Glory

You do not have to be fixed to be faithful or perfect to be perfected.

Resting on a bed swing on a large wrap-around porch with a ceiling fan and a cold glass of lemonade is a welcome reprieve on a hot summer day. This has never been Kelley Glenn's desire. It is tantamount to a movie fantasy and requires too much daydreaming in a world where she fends off physical abuse and sexual assault. Mars and Pluto are probably closer than the faraway places she hides to stay out of harm's way. Kelley escapes to these mental hideaways while the ones who are supposed to love and protect her, violate her. With a hole in her soul, she jumps out of the childhood frying pan, right into the fire when she marries a charmer.

Many wonder why abused intimate partners do not leave or report the abuse. In her memoir, What a Woman: My Story for God's Glory, Ms. Glenn invites readers to be a fly on the wall and witness what abused partners face. Kelley's journey to believe there is a realm of possibility greater than the only ones she has had since birth takes courage. There are times when she is too broken to see past the moment, or look in a mirror and see anything good. Her gaze changes direction as she looks to the one in whom she has confidence.

Returning to the podcast, Jillian Abby is here to talk about the launch of her new book - Perfectly Queer.
This is a story for--
Anyone who is hiding a piece of themselves and wants to know if it’s safe to be revealed.
The parent who must choose between their own happiness and the stability of their family, wondering if prioritizing themselves is selfish.
The person potentially facing a major life upheaval filled with unknowns in the future who is seeking reassurance that everything will work out just fine.
Those who are starting or are in the middle of their journey and need hope and inspiration.
Those who have been through it, to stand proudly affirmed on the other side.

Jillian Abby has mastered reinvention throughout her life to create the most whole and satisfying journey. She left the comfort of her hometown of Buffalo, NY, to study abroad in Cochabamba, Bolivia, at age 15. As an adult, her resume includes Certified Public Accountant, Licensed Massage Therapist, craft beer bar owner, creative copywriter, homeschooling parent, and black belt martial artist.

Her most recent role as a newly out lesbian and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community was by far her riskiest and most rewarding change. She serves as a committee member for Tampa’s first inclusive homeschool prom (@tbhive) and is a member of Tampa’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Babe Crafted. She supports others through her blog site QueerAbby.com and via TikTok at @AskQueerAbby.

Jillian lives in Tampa Bay with her partner, Jen, their wildly wacky children, Sophie and Ollie, and a rescue cat named Poe.

Our Guest:
Alan was raised and grew up in the United Methodist Church. While I do proudly embrace my background and personal history within the United Methodist Church, I do feel that ultimately what is important is not the denomination that you are a part of. What matters most is the relationship that you have with the Lord. Part and parcel to any relationship is the level of commitment that one makes to it. With any and all relationships they are going to take time to grow.

​Through the years, if I were to describe my relationship with the Lord using one word it would be “transformation.” Continuing to grow daily in my walk with the Lord, and as well continue to display the fruits of his Spirit daily is for me what my life is all about.

About James Macdonald
I am James Macdonald and 5 years ago, I was stressed and overwhelmed at my role as a husband and (exhausted) father of 3, not really knowing how to be the best man I could be.

Many years, pitfalls and enough flat whites to sink a battleship later, I’m a lot happier and confident and on a mission to help other dads be the best family man they can be without losing their minds.

First Time Dad is for the new(ish) dads who feel totally overwhelmed at their new responsibility and feel like their mental health is on a slow and silent decline.

Book: First Time Dad: The 42-Week Guide For Men To Help Your Partner Have A Calm & Confident Pregnancy

If you want to effectively support your partner during pregnancy, and strengthen your relationship and mental health, keep reading...

If you're going to be a dad, congratulations, that's awesome!

That said, if you worry about this life-changing experience negatively affecting your mental health, you'd be right to. Recent statistics show that up to 50% of all new dads experience depression if their partner gets postnatal depression.

Are you concerned your little blessing might drive a baby-shaped wedge between you? Then your spidey senses are on the money because studies show that dads are three times more likely to die after a relationship breakdown than women.

Are you anxious that the general stress of family life might damage your mental health? This is a justified concern as suicide is the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. If any of these concerns resonate with you, don't worry; you're in safe, albeit slightly weathered, hands. James Macdonald is a happy and mostly calm dad of three.

In First Time Dad you’ll learn:

Week-to-week explanations of what’s happening for your baby and inside your partner
How to be a big help, not a major hindrance, during the delivery
How to help your partner get physically fit and ready for birth
What to expect at your 12 and 20-week scans
How to keep her & your sense of humor during those high-pressure moments
How to mentally prepare for the birth if you're squeamish
What to do when you need reassurance but don't want to burden her
Advice on having sex and maintaining intimacy throughout pregnancy
How to keep calm when all hell is breaking loose
What a birth plan is and how to prepare one
What nesting is and how to use it to your advantage
What you can do to develop, strengthen and prepare your mental health for the big day and beyond it
What you need to do & say to ensure everyone’s mental health remains intact
Road-tested survival tips for dads to ensure you don't continue to put your foot in it
If you're ready to start the journey from knee-trembling novice to a contender for dad of the year and maybe prove your mother-in-law massively wrong

More About Tess Scott
Tess Scott is a Christian speaker, an award-winning author, and a former black sheep turned “Jesus Girl.”  With humour and vulnerability, this Canadian mom of 8 is on mission to help other women with messy stories to shed their shame by teaching them who they are in Christ, so they will embrace the power of God in their imperfect lives. 

Tess has lived through multiple divorces, married her husband twice, and watched in awe as God has guided her through breast cancer, bathroom renovations and menopausal hormones. Her redeemed life screams of the prodigal daughter unmistakably chosen, and it’s this hope, this story of redemption and God’s indisputable faithfulness that Tess brings to encourage women. Her first book “Listen, Sister! Finding Hope in The Freakshow of Life” (Morgan James Publishers) launched June 2022.  When she’s not on the road spreading hope and laughter, Tess continues the next phase of hilariously awkward moments in Sarnia Ontario to the ongoing embarrassment of her family.

Welcome to the urban fantasy and science fiction world of author Jane Frkovich

Goddess of Rain, Part 1 in the Lost Gods Series - Available Now!
Since Zoe leaving high school, Zoe’s life has been going nowhere. She spends her days working at the grocery store, being friend-zoned by her fellow grocery worker Brandon Chan, and obsessively crushing on handsome and rich Colton Chase, who sometimes visits the store.

One day in line for frozen yogurt, she bumps into Colton Chase and she is thrilled to find out he knows her name. Then, she goes to the park and finds her long dead mom alive and well. It turns out her mom didn’t die but was travelling the universe with the Greek god Zeus.  If her mom’s boyfriend is Zeus, then who is her mom?  Zoe’s not sure if her mom was kidnapped or if she abandoned her.  Her mom has returned to whisk Zoe away in Zeus’s space ship because the earth is falling apart and will soon be uninhabitable. Suddenly, Zoe is plunged into the world of lost gods.

Underworld Rising
When Zoe stood on the edge of a volcano and chose between two loves, one a god and one a man, she may have sealed the fate of the earth. And the earth is in trouble.

The Lost Gods Series continues with Underworld Rising. Earth’s climate is under attack because of Hephaestus’ curse. On top of that, the world is on the verge of war with the Underworld because the goddess Hera has stirred up the ancient hatred between Cyclopes and humans. Hera will stop at nothing, even the destruction of the earth’s people, to destroy Zoe, the daughter of the woman who stole Zeus’s heart. It may all come down to the choices Zoe makes with her own heart. She has an important destiny and it will determine the fate of the world.

This movement is a place
to let our walls down.
No hidden agendas. No pitches, preachers, or pledges. Just supporting others and allowing them to support us. We're building relationships with people who know us and genuinely care about us.

Our goal is to make connection a little easier – a tad less scary.

The Book: Good, and You?
Why is connection, vulnerability, and support so damn hard sometimes? How can we have more access to each other than ever, and still be so lonely? What will it take for us to open up about the things that actually matter?

In this lively manifesto/guidebook on connection, we'll talk about:
How to find safe people
If anyone even wants to support us
Why self-care isn't enough
How to protect ourselves and connect
How to start those deep conversations

If you’re ready to start working towards a new normal, this may be the book for you. Build your raft. We'd love for you to be a part of ours.

In a society that seeks fame and fortune above all, Rick Cua’s simple mission – to share the love of God through music – is a cool drink of water in a dry land. Add to that wide-ranging experience and wisdom gained from over thirty nine years in music ministry and business, along with a gift of encouragement and you have the components of an artist, teacher and speaker with a passion for helping others find their fullness in Christ.

Currently, Rick focuses his time on front-line ministry at Grace Chapel in Franklin, TN. He stays active in music through speaking, writing and publishing along with playing and recording with his long time band, Blues Counsel and recently releasing his 3rd book, What Are You Known For? 31-Day Devotional & Journal. All this to support his personal mission of sharing the power of God’s Word through music, the written and spoken word and hands on ministry.

Rick’s career as a musician has always carried the hallmark of an artist who passionately holds on to his Biblical convictions and communicates uplifting and straightforward messages to his audience. All of his songs are written with the intent to ultimately point to Christ.

“Music is such a motivator. When you put the truth in music, and you hit that emotional nerve, it works,” explains Rick. “I feel called to build people up. My goal is to take the Word and Godly principles and attach it to music that is going to get them excited, and want to sing along and want to believe in what they are hearing and what they are singing…as an artist, that’s what it’s all about.”

To that end, Rick continues to write and record new songs that have been born out of a progressive artistic vision. His involvement in the burgeoning praise and worship community over the years is definitely having an impact.

“Many of the songs I write are anthemic in nature; big choruses and a message that's motivating and uplifting. My hope has always been that after listening or singing along people will feel better about life, themselves and about the power of God working in and through them”

Originally from Syracuse, New York, Rick’s Italian heritage is apparent in his first instrument—as a young boy, he started on the accordion. He eventually moved on to the piano, trumpet, clarinet, guitar, and eventually settled on the bass—and rock music. Membership in early bands fed his musical obsession, and led to paying gigs by age 14 and an inevitable career choice.

Our guest:
I’m a professional writer, native Vermonter, practicing feminist, recovering middle child, wannabe superhero, and a mom who’s pretty sure she’s “winging it”. I’ve wanted to be a writer my whole life so it’s pretty damn cool that I made it. I’m the author of Dear Universe, I Get it Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me – which pretty much tells the whole story of my journey to this place.

I hold an M.F.A. in creative writing and am the Lady Boss Owner of The Write Place, Right Time, my virtual boutique of ghostwriting services. I pretty much spend all my time over there now, so you should go check it out.

If you can catch me not writing or thinking about writing, I’m probably drinking Maple Lattes, adding more books to my must-read list, watching The Princess Bride for the thousandth time, or solving a crime in the latest Hunt a Killer box set.

]]> EPISODE 186 - Alyssa Berthiaume - Ghost Writing, Authoring Your Story and The Role of A.I. for Authors

Our guest:
I’m a professional writer, native Vermonter, practicing feminist, recovering middle child, wannabe superhero, and a mom who’s pretty sure she’s “winging it”. I’ve wanted to be a writer my whole life so it’s pretty damn cool that I made it. I’m the author of Dear Universe, I Get it Now: Letters on the Art and Journey of Being Brave and Being Me – which pretty much tells the whole story of my journey to this place.

I hold an M.F.A. in creative writing and am the Lady Boss Owner of The Write Place, Right Time, my virtual boutique of ghostwriting services. I pretty much spend all my time over there now, so you should go check it out.

If you can catch me not writing or thinking about writing, I’m probably drinking Maple Lattes, adding more books to my must-read list, watching The Princess Bride for the thousandth time, or solving a crime in the latest Hunt a Killer box set.

How can we heal ourselves? How can we tap into inner contentment? How can we move forward as humanity? How can we heal the planet?

I believe, the answers lie within each single one of us. To uncover our personal truth, we need to courageously face our inner selves; including the parts we don’t like.

… because, we all hold within us the darkness and the light.

Are you willing to fully see yourself? Are you ready to uncover the hidden? Do you want to return love and joy into your life? 

It takes courage and stamina to step onto the path of self-realization. I know this, I’ve been there, and, actually, I still am. It has not always been easy. Still, I moved on, because I was inspired by others who told me ‘there will be light’. This kept me going. I am forever grateful for the souls helping me on my path!

This is why I share my own journey with you to inspire you, give you courage, bless you with faith, and the trust in your abilities. You are not alone in this. You can do this. I believe in you.

The Book: Heroes of the Quest - An Impossible Team
“Team! I am your leader on this Quest! Follow me!”

From the outset of their adventure, Master Mouse is hampered by his hilarious and calamitous teammates who don’t even recognize him as their leader. A mouse, a giraffe, a slug and … a pig ?!?

All perfectly imperfect, how can they possible compete against the mighty lions? Will they even finish the final challenge of Quest School?

Find out what really matters in the end …

DISCOVER THE NEW WAYS FOR WOMEN TO BE *IN* THE WORLD

“Passion to Thrive” is jam-packed full of insights and tools for you to discover your own depth, passion and purpose.

You can use it as a text, or you could take up the invitation of diving deep by using it as a work book and write your own answers on the pages provided.

I have also created a series of meditations that will help you become familiar with the archetypes and the energy, power and guidance they provide so you can draw on them as you need to.

This is especially useful for the ones you are currently unaware of or not used to drawing on.

The divine feminine has been suppressed in the Western world for centuries now, and as a result of our disregard for it and for Mother Earth we now live in a time of impending global catastrophe. We get bombarded with bad news all the time. Business-as-usual is just no longer an option.

So how can we respond to this situation?

How can women reclaim the breadth and depth of our worth and our unique way of being, experiencing, feeling and acting in the world, when up until recently we have been restricted and constrained in what we have been allowed to be and do?

In this book, Annika looks at different archetypes that can guide us through difficult situations and circumstances back to our own magnificent selves and to the divine feminine.

Each archetype has a particular way of being in the world, and it can inspire you to approach old, gnarly problems and situations in a new way.

Each archetype will guide and empower you to explore a different side to yourself, and allow you to realize what your strengths, talents and skills are and what gives your life meaning, passion and purpose.

Realize how you can live the most fulfilling life you can imagine for yourself by offering up your unique gift to the world, which you may not even have realized you had!

Kristina Bak grew up in the Pacific Northwest, dropped out of Reed College in 1969, and spent enough years hiking in the North Cascades to graduate from Western Washington University in Bellingham. She explored utopias via Paolo Soleri’s Arcosanti and the University of New Mexico. A graduate degree in architecture at the University of Washington earned her a Fulbright year in Rome before she moved to Australia with her husband and six-month-old daughter for three years. Back in the US, the family lived on Bainbridge Island until Kristina graduated from Antioch, Seattle, with an MA in psychology. They moved to Bend, Oregon, in 1993. Since that time, Kristina has worked as a mental health therapist, taught qigong, and sojourned in Sydney again as a ghostwriter, among other things. She took her first Argentine Social Tango class in 2010, and like countless others, is addicted to the dance.

ABOUT ME

I am a four time Amazon best-selling author, speaker and self-publishing coach who helps Five-Fold Ministers plant the seeds of confidence, harvest their self-faith and clarify their life’s vision so that they can birth faith based businesses that serve, scale and succeed.

Also known as The Spiritual Midwife, I have taught hundreds of ministers how to birth their purpose and monetize their God ordained talents and acquired skill set by building successful faith-based businesses.

From coaching women on how to launch membership communities to providing hopeful entrepreneurs with the foundational tools to build profitable businesses, I continue to answer the call to assist fellow ministers in pursuing profit-generating, purpose-driven paths.

My own blossoming stemmed from a divine moment in 2011 that drove me away from the roads of hardship – $100K in debt, a foreclosed home and car repossession despite my having a good yet unfulfilling government job – and steered me straight into my own profitable faith-based business that allows me to live the emotionally, spiritually and financially free life that I have always dreamed of.

I am a renowned speaker and two-time best-selling Amazon author of 30 Days to Increased Faith: Increase Your Faith, Attract Gods Attention and Achieve Your Dreams and coauthor of the I RISE: Living Beyond the Bruises anthology.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Management and a master’s degree in Theology, I deliver soul-stirring sermons, workshops and on line bible study courses that wash away the muddy waters of hesitation and self-doubt, all so the divinely inspired can pave the path to passion and purpose.

Have you suffered as a result of a childhood trauma?

Does the pain and memory of those events still haunt you?

Are you struggling to see how it will ever improve?

The events of any childhood trauma are significant and when they aren’t addressed they can have a continued impact on the rest of our lives. Many people bury their feelings, suppress memories and hope that things will magically improve if they can simply forget about it and move on. But overcoming childhood trauma isn’t as impossible as it may first seem and this book aims to help you come to terms with it.

Inside the pages of By His Grace, author Jacqueline Williams recounts her own experiences of being beaten and sexually assaulted as a child, with chapters that are aimed at helping you to:

Find the support you need
Make sense of what happened
Prevent the incident from overwhelming your identity
Understand that it wasn’t your fault
See the reality of the situation
Use your experiences as a positive
And more…

It is Jacqueline’s belief that anyone can overcome childhood trauma when they have the right support with which to do so. From her own dark early years to transiting through the pain and eventually emerging on the other side, her book is one of survival.

And she wants you to do the same. To face the trauma you experienced head on, talk openly about it and know that you are never alone in your journey towards happiness.

About the Author
Hi, my name is Sandra Cooze. I am an Intuitive Trauma Release & Self-Empowerment Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher, Traumatic Incident Reduction Facilitator, Meditation Teacher, Holistic Jewelry Designer and Published Author.

My passion and dedication for trauma healing was born as a result of my own traumatic past. Molested as a child, bullied in school, sexually assaulted and raped as a young adult, I felt lost for many years until the unusual request of a friend set me on a path of true healing and transformation.

I studied the Art & Science of Coaching at Erickson Coaching International, Reiki Level One- Master at Beaumont Hospital, and Traumatic Incident Reduction at TIRA.

I wish I could tell you how incredible it feels to have healed from trauma. But there is no word that would come even close to describing the joy, happiness, freedom and peacefulness you will feel once you are free of your past.

Let me help you experience the same joy, freedom and happiness that I feel each and every day. Let me help you release your trauma and transform your life!

J. D. Robertson is a retired corporate writer. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with her puggle, Charlee, and her husband, Bill. May and Ted is her first novel.

May isn’t your average child. Neither is Ted. May is controlling and manipulative. Ted is brilliant. May is obsessed with Ted.

May’s love for Ted isn’t just some childhood crush. She knows that. Ted knows that, too. At least he should. They’re meant to be together, right? That’s why May has spent her whole life waiting for him, watching him. Ted just needs to understand.

Then, everything will be perfect.

May and Ted is about passion, it’s about conditional and unconditional love, and it’s about what a person will do to make things right.

J. D. Robertson is a retired corporate writer. She lives in Edmonton, Alberta, with her puggle, Charlee, and her husband, Bill. May and Ted is her first novel.

May isn’t your average child. Neither is Ted. May is controlling and manipulative. Ted is brilliant. May is obsessed with Ted.

May’s love for Ted isn’t just some childhood crush. She knows that. Ted knows that, too. At least he should. They’re meant to be together, right? That’s why May has spent her whole life waiting for him, watching him. Ted just needs to understand.

Then, everything will be perfect.

May and Ted is about passion, it’s about conditional and unconditional love, and it’s about what a person will do to make things right.

Our Guest
I have been an entrepreneur since before I knew that was a thing. I was the kid with the side-by-side lemonade stand and carwash. I remember calculating ways to make more money at the stand by selling candy and friendship bracelets—always about being a hustler, always striving to maximize time and increase profits, even before I could do math. But it was more than a hustle for me. Business is in my bones. I love working and, more importantly, I love working on work and helping others meet their potential.

I have never been one to shy away from work, turn down a challenge, or live a life ordinarily. I started my first “official” business while I was still in college and continued on a rampage of founding, running, buying, and selling multiple businesses over the next couple of decades.

The Book: The Pursuit of Badasserie: How to Create Badass Business Abundance

This book is for entrepreneurs: aspiring and new business owners, solopreneurs, freelancers, and long-time entrepreneurs. Whether you are just starting out, have been struggling (or succeeding) for years, or are running a day-to-day doldrum, every entrepreneur has the same challenges, fears, and unrealistic expectations. With so many conflicting strategies, confusing ideals, and competing businesses, how will you stand out and get ahead? Sometimes the answers lie within! The Pursuit of Badasserie looks at how and why you make the decisions that truly count in creating badass business abundance!

Hi, my name is Kate Connolly and I help you awaken your intuition so you can make better decisions in your life.

Your spiritual journey can be a lonely and difficult one.  I know, I’ve been there.  Essentially the concept of spirituality is to learn who you really are and heal the parts of yourself that are in duality, or in other words unhealed.

You may be in a situation where you feel that moving forward in your life is all about finding the right process, the right therapist or the right routine.  You may be spending a lot of time writing to do lists, having goals in your head and “working hard” to get there, only to just feel like your tread milling and not moving forward.   

You might have the best intentions with your life but you may find you being directed by things outside of you (eg. friends, work, the news) without realizing just how powerful you are to create your own reality.  You may find yourself feeling overworked and under appreciated, unsure about what you really want and even if you do know what you want, you have no idea how to get there.

My goal is to teach you how to trust yourself, and create the life of your dreams by getting out of your own way.  When you can learn this and make life decisions based on your inner knowing, rather than what someone or something else has told you to have then all things are possible. I would love to work with you and show you how to do this for yourself.

AC loves learning new things, understanding things better, and sharing stories. On paper, he is a [soon to be retired] 22+ year Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army, former scout helicopter pilot, Ph.D., martial artist, ordained minister, amateur magician, and Lifer in a traditional motorcycle club.

But, in reality, he’s just a scared lobster that found shelter along the path and has kept going. He says that he’s a product of many other travelers and their journeys. AC was born and raised in a small rural Pennsylvania community. He was the youngest of two, but eventually the youngest of four (at any given time) because his parents were superheroes. The state system called them foster parents, but they were nothing short of heroes to many young men and women.

AC recently published his first book, The Lobster’s Guide to Herding Penguins: A Practical Guide to Gaining Perspective and Living the Stories Worth Telling. He will soon be a featured author in the second edition of Voices For Leadership, compiled by Brian Brogen.

Ben has been studying deduction and all of the facets of skill that it entails for over 15 years now, it all stemmed from his obsession with Sherlock Holmes, the detective with infinite reasoning and logic with an aptitude for picking out the smallest detail of a person within seconds of meeting them.

Ben was curious as to whether this super human ability was achievable and sort to find out. This was when he first started to study and put into practice everything he now knows about mentalism.

As he grew he developed his knowledge of behavioral science, speed reading people, forensic science, psychology, reading facial cues and body language, developing memory, hypnosis along with other skills, but he still held true to his original influence of Sherlock Holmes. Ben spends his time reading various different studies and journals, along side books and works of nonfiction learning more and more about the way things tick, what different things can mean to different people and how to read the tiniest micro expressions. He uses this skill that he works on daily in his shows, wowing the audience and amazing the critics.

Ben has been studying deduction and all of the facets of skill that it entails for over 15 years now, it all stemmed from his obsession with Sherlock Holmes, the detective with infinite reasoning and logic with an aptitude for picking out the smallest detail of a person within seconds of meeting them.

Ben was curious as to whether this super human ability was achievable and sort to find out. This was when he first started to study and put into practice everything he now knows about mentalism.

Jeff has been living in his head since 1974, so it wasn’t much of a jump for him to live in his characters’ heads. And after more than 20 years as an advertising writer, he decided he’d sleep better writing stories that keep people up at night.

His debut novel, “A Killer Secret” was published In December 2019 followed by “The Fall of Faith” in October 2022.

A Killer Secret

Would you kill to keep a secret?

That’s the question haunting three people whose lives become inescapably intertwined by the secrets that define them and ultimately threaten to tear them apart. 

A disgraced professor, a disenchanted psychologist and a deceitful patient are about to learn more than they expected about each other and themselves. Will their relationships survive their secrets? Will they? 

Everyone has secrets.

Some are just darker than others.

And some, well, they’re worth killing to keep. 

“A Killer Secret,” the debut novel by Jeff Berney, is a character study in good and evil, and the large swath of gray area in between where most of us live. That is, unless our secrets kill us first.

The Fall of Faith

Lust. Kills.

“The Fall of Faith” is a gritty domestic thriller about lust, love, faith and the consequences of doing whatever it takes to survive.

How far would you go to regain your faith in something bigger than yourself?

Will he find love at long last? Will he make it out of Eden alive? Or will he lose his life along with his faith?

About the Author

An avid reader and literary critic, Ariel Tsai always knew she needed to write a book. She obtained a bachelor’s degree in English literature and criticism and Chinese language and literature, studying both in the United States and China. Her stylistic writing comes from a persistent itch to tell stories and understand the world around her. With sarcasm, wit, and keen observations (as an accomplished poet is wont to do), Tsai pours her ambition and heart into her writing. She harbors an undying love for symbolism, translation theory, and Honey Nut Cheerios, alongside a great deal of shame about her Anglophilic preferences in literature. John Milton and Philip Pullman are likely to blame.

Falling in love with yourself can be difficult, with the exception being Narcissus, a figure in Greek mythology known to have fallen for his reflection. Contemptuous towards everyone but himself, the Greek youth realized he was his own true love. Whether he withered away in his longing or drowned in the pool of his reflection, Narcissus became the flower with delicate white and gold petals, staring at itself in the still waters. Like its namesake, Narcissus by Ariel Tsai reflects the human condition in all its most beautiful, mundane, and unpleasant forms.

Narcissus captures human growth, for better or for worse, to reflect on what it means to love oneself— foolishly and wholeheartedly.

Dr. Wayne

Dr. Wayne is a glass half full kind of teacher. A curiosity for learning and teaching has taken him to many classrooms: from urban to suburban to rural; and from elementary, middle, high school and university; and from large group to small group to tutorials and online. What’s kept him enthusiastic in over five decades as a teacher and coach, parent and grandparent, has been the search for the “teachable moment.” Often such an opportunity to grow comes gift wrapped as a problem to be solved. He’s found ways, time and time again, to reframe any unwelcome burdens as a mystery to be solved. 

Dr. Barb

Dr. Barb has been involved in education and learning for over 22 years. She has been an entrepreneur offering courses in parenting, a mediator for families, and a therapist for children and adolescents.  Dr. Barb coaches leaders of all levels to be better versions of themselves (see her site at www.DrBarbHughson.com). She created a model for coaching centered around self-awareness, the true foundation of leadership.  Her bright spirit and friendly nature allow her to build strong and caring relationships with everyone she meets.   She has an MA and an MSEd in Counseling and Education and an EdD in Organizational Leadership.

About the Author

Janelle Jones is known as the “Queen of Side Hustles”. She has inspired many people to improve their life and earn extra income while they are also working full time. She shows them that by doing what they love they can create a “side hustle” and earn extra income. 

She believes that this is the best way to eliminate debt, pay for vacations, and enroll their children in the best private schools. She also considers doing a side hustle as an alternative to the traditional 9 to 5 lifestyle which most people do daily.  

That is why she offers a book which she calls a “From Passion to Profit” that serves as a guide to making profits based on what you are passionate about.

As she always likes to say “Take a step out on faith and you can accomplish the unthinkable! The only thing stopping you from reaching your goals is for you to take that JUMP!”, she emphasizes that anything is possible if you just take a chance. She has proven it herself by doing different side hustles that really worked and even made her decide to leave the corporate world and become a highly successful freelance professional that she is today!

It all started in 1996 when my father was diagnosed with colon cancer. At the time I was running my own corporate interior design company, and loving the creativity.

After his diagnosis, I became obsessed with the role of patients in their health, healing and illnesses. A new world opened up for me as I began exploring healing and what wellness meant. Was healing only up to doctors, or did we, as patients, have a role to play?

Many fascinating books and teachers came into my life, who inspired me further, like Dr Bernie Siegel, who explores the role of the patient as an active participant in his own healing.

Encouraging patients to take ownership of their healing, he says, “We are the soil in which the disease roots itself.” Deb Shapiro, Deepak Chopra, Caroline Myss and many more inspired me as I became more passionate about our ability to heal and to be healed.

Please note - this episode has Adult Themes - nothing within this episode is explicit, but the message of hope is powerful and is meant to inspire others afraid to share their voice and their story in order to help others!

The Book - A Stripper: From Japan through Switzerland into the Deepest Secrets of Her Soul

Athina, a stripper with an array of names and perfect breasts, gets on a bus to escape the flashy entertainment industry and to become a regular person. Will she, the queen of flirting and seduction, have strength to work through her traumatic sexual experiences, toxic relationships, and alcohol abuse to reinvent herself? Or, will she fall back into the world of a pretty doll whose only purpose is to entertain men and feed into their imagination? Athina takes you on a ride through dark places of nightlife in Greece, Switzerland, Slovakia, and Japan. Buckle up so that you don't fall off your seat!

Nellah Mx used to call herself Athina, Cindy, or Lara, this is her story. She wrote this book to expose the rotten core of the entertainment industry, a system of sexual pleasures and degradation of women. She wrote this book to instill hope that change is possible and show ways of dealing with traumas, unhealthy habits, and relationships based on money. And most of all, she wrote this book to entertain. Because, the main purpose of the entertainment industry, specifically strip clubs and sex work, is to entertain...men.

In the world of business, “different” is sometimes prefable to “better.” My guest today, Keith Hayden, is a prime example of this. He is an author and is doing incredibly unique things online to promote his fiction book.

Keith has come up with a fantastic way to break his 500-page novel down into bite-sized chunks for social media. He has created an audio drama version of Cereus & Limnic and is combining that with live streams where he goes deep on the book writing process. But how should he go about getting more eyeballs on his content?

The inspiration for a lot of what Keith is doing is the sense of belonging he felt when he was in the military. He wants to recreate that for his audience, which is very smart. I had a blast talking to him, and this is an inspiring chat for all of us looking to build loyal, targeted audiences. Enjoy!

B Sedgwick had her first poem published at age 7 and has been playing with words ever since. As part of that journey she studied creative writing in Alaska, taught poetry in North Dakota, and been published in such diverse places as "The WItness," "Lilliput Review," and "Five-two Poetry." In 2013 she founded Spirit Moxie (www.spiritmoxie.com) where she writes conversation posts on how we can make the world a better place. Her recent book (which you can find listed with Sally B. Sedgwick as the author) "Moxie Moves: 10 easy ways to make a powerful difference" supports this vision. But poetry is her first love and her default writing genre at random coffee shops and bars

Our Guest: Tracy

A fun fact about me was that she was a finalist in the Chris Moore Challenge during the first season of HBO’s Project Greenlight with a 60 second comedy spoof that I wrote and produced. My political satire has also appeared nationally in The Huffington Post. My one-act play, UNDERSTANDING POLLY, won a 24-hour playwriting contest a few years ago. As for screenwriting, I studied under Lew Hunter at his colony. Spielberg calls Lew “the best screenwriting teacher going.”


The Book: When struggling midlist author, Austen Landry, receives the chance of a lifetime to interview mega-star Radley Seager at the Sundance Film Festival, she jumps at the opportunity only to get caught up in the glamour, drama, danger, and secrets that Seager's entourage brings into Austen's orbit. This chance of a lifetime will change Austen's life forever.

Austen's cinematographer best friend, a contemplative director, a rising starlet, an elusive stalker, a publisher and studio head power couple, and Austen's vanilla boyfriend from back home round out the cast of characters. Through the eyes of Austen we glimpse a unique and unbridled view into the glamorous inner workings of the Sundance Film Festival - the multi-million-dollar deals, the exclusive star-studded parties, the gifting suites, the hot-tubs, and, of course, the swag.

Does Austen return home to New Orleans with something much more valuable than anything a gifting suite full of swag could ever give her? A week can change everything!

About our guest:
Multi-time award-winning international speaker. Multi-time best-selling author. World’s #1 Fear Strategist. Creator of Mindset Mastery.

I am all of these, but I am also someone who used to be utterly terrified of speaking with strangers, and who allowed this fear to hold his life back for decades.

Until one panic attack too many, which forced me to realise I needed to Do Something.

The Book: WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING, ARE YOU BUYING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, OR BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO?

AND COULD YOU EVEN SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?

There are countless unscrupulous individuals and businesses out there, each with a very strong vested interest in you buying their stuff – whether that’s products, courses, services, or even ideas, beliefs, and theories.

So strong is their need for you to buy from them, that they will stop at nothing in their attempts to manipulate you into buying.

Imagine if you could find out about their approaches, so that you could protect yourself?

That’s the premise behind the new book AntiManipulation, which is coming soon from the international best-selling author of The Masks We Wear and the Winning In Life And Work series.

It’s time to put the balance of power back into your hands!

Hi! I'm Dr. Heather
I've been a psychotherapist and a mother for 25 years.  I love both roles deeply.  I am excellent at helping people change sticky thought processes and see the other side of challenging situations. They call me the "reframe queen". My specialties are couples communication and intimacy, grief and loss, spirituality and faith, and transforming lives into expressions of beauty and joy.

 There is no stuck.  We just see it that way. Changing our perspective changes our experience.  I am incredibly grateful for my sharp mind, a fast wit, and a massive amount of energy and light. I am here to show you that you can lighten and enlighten your load. Or just dump it. I use metaphor, storytelling, imagery, and humor in my work. You will find me approachable, smart, deeply compassionate, with a goofy side. 

 I have been published in Inc. Magazine, Insider Magazine, Toronto Sun,  Psychology Today, Focus on the Family's "Thriving Family", Light + Life, and hundreds of journals and reviews.  I was selected out of 1000's to be the Relationship Expert on DayBreak OC for a television season and have been interviewed several times on ABC7 news. I am currently creating an on-line Communications course.  I am an active YouTuber, supporting our community in relationship, communication, and self-love. 

 My greatest desire is to support you in drawing closer to your true self, your inner wisdom, and your purpose. Our lives are an amazing adventure and blessing, given freely to us to explore and to share love, our uniqueness, and our stories. Let me encourage and empower you in sharing yours.

Derek T Freeman is the author of a great book created for the student in your life!

Building Unstoppable Self-Confidence for Teens: The Fail-Safe Formula for Finding Yourself, Overcoming Limitations and Creating Your Best Life from the Inside Out



His work aims to inspire tweens, teens, parents, and families by providing motivational content and guiding them through the years that are often seen as the most challenging parts of both parenting and growing up.

As a young teenager, Derek struggled with self-esteem, bullying, and fitting in. As a father, he has attended countless groups and school functions and, along the way, has realized just how common his school experiences are. He is determined to make the turbulent waters of adolescence easier to navigate for other young people.

Derek is a musician by trade and toured the US for nine years after graduating high school, releasing six albums before the birth of his first child. He then moved into the restaurant business, managing a small team for over a decade. He has two daughters, aged 10 and 12, and a 13-year-old son.

Derek was born and raised in New York and currently lives in Connecticut with his wife, three children, and two cats.

I used to be that girl.
The girl who was easily angered and bothered by even the littlest of things.

The girl who was jealous of everyone else and compared herself to every woman who walked by.

The girl who relied on every single person besides herself to make her feel validated and happy.

I thought it was everyone elses’ responsibility to make me feel loved and I immediately blamed others for any negative emotion that would start to take me over.

I had zero understanding or awareness as to how to control my big emotions and how to not let my feelings define who I was.

I lived with awful body-image issues for most of my life and tried every different diet pill I could get my hands on - I always avoided staring at myself in the mirror.

I suffered from extreme codependency and discovered alcohol at the young age of 12, which I quickly learned helped me to avoid feeling anything I didn’t want to feel (which was a lot).

I was ashamed about much from my past and tried hard to create the exact persona of who I thought others wanted me to be.

I was constantly depressed, filled with anxiety and always doing whatever anyone else thought I should do or what I thought others wanted me to do to get them to appreciate me and make me feel valued.

Our Guest -
After almost 40 years in one career, Sandra Hill is following her dream of being a life, business and career coach in my own company – New Horizen Coaching & Professional Growth Advancement. Part of her vision is to expand the benefits of coaching via other formats so not only does she host a weekly radio show, but she is also a speaker and trainer.

She writes articles for Forbes (Coaches Council), Lead Up for Women (magazine) and issues a quarterly newsletter. As a best-selling author on a coaching collaboration book with her peers, Sandra wanted to start writing short books that reflected a part of her own life journey hoping to inspire others to rise above their storms and find the sunshine. Some of the books will eventually have associated videos and webinar training designed to help others lead their more purposeful life. (That’s a hint to connect and follow me so you won’t miss out!)

Welcome Katrina!

Katrina is currently writing a "For Dummies Series Book" about taking a break and Sabbatical!

Katrina is the Career Break & Sabbatical Fairy Godmother here to make your dreams come true.

As a certified master coach with an MBA, I help 9-5ers create successful, mind-blowing career breaks and fight through the fear of breaking from their conventional career paths to create a life that brings fulfillment, joy, adventure or whatever they are craving.

My Story
As a young adult, I had it pretty good: the corporate job, a comfortable salary, generous company benefits. Or so it seemed.

I worked my way up the ladder across three large companies, earning praise and awards along the way.
But something was missing.

I had a comfortable life that looked "successful" on the outside, but inside I struggled with an inner knowing that I was trapped inside a life that wasn’t really “me.”

I felt restless and uninspired.

I knew a change was necessary but I wasn’t ready to make a big leap to figure out what I really wanted. Instead, I took the “safe” route of going to a top 20 business school. I thought if I did well, with my MBA and my newly-secured job at a fortune 500 company, I would start to feel fulfilled.
I would finally be living the life I had always wanted.

I worked hard and was good at my job, but I lacked the enthusiasm and strategy necessary to keep climbing the ladder. Plus I had this nagging feeling that things still didn’t feel right.

I knew I needed something different.

A five-time Moth GrandSLAM winner and bestselling novelist shows how to tell a great story - and why doing so matters.

Whether we realize it or not, we are always telling stories. On a first date or job interview, at a sales presentation or therapy appointment, with family or friends, we are constantly narrating events and interpreting emotions and actions. In this compelling book, storyteller extraordinaire Matthew Dicks presents wonderfully straightforward and engaging tips and techniques for constructing, telling, and polishing stories that will hold the attention of your audience (no matter how big or small). He shows that anyone can learn to be an appealing storyteller, that everyone has something “storyworthy” to express, and, perhaps most important, that the act of creating and telling a tale is a powerful way of understanding and enhancing your own life.

My vision is to do my part to raise the vibration of the planet, one person at a time, to ultimately launch a butterfly effect: “A butterfly can flutter its wings over a flower in China and cause a hurricane in the Caribbean”.* The flutter of a butterfly’s wings is not forceful or commanding, yet that gentle movement can be inspiring, with the power of exponential effects. My own “gentle flutter” includes providing mental health therapy, speaking engagements, workshops, and my Crystalline Vibes™ children’s book series, using playful storytelling through the eyes of beloved animal characters to teach children how to be happier and healthier.

I grew up in Mancos, Colorado, population 1,000. Growing up, I spent my childhood rescuing animals, working in my parents’ hardware store--through good, old-fashioned parent manipulation--and even running my own detective agency, graciously sanctioned by the Town Marshall.

My journey to grown-up-hood took a meandering path.  Early on, my parents understood that I would need a lot of encouragement and persuasion to pursue a safe, stable, and secure career. More of that good, old-fashioned parental encouragement led me to earn a BA in Accounting and I became a CPA. Yearning for more adventure and excitement, I returned to my childhood law-enforcement roots and became a Special Agent for the FBI, and a new path was forged.

Jennifer shares her journey in search of her daughter here on Living The Next Chapter

About the Author

Jennifer Rose Asher has a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from The Adler School of Professional Psychology. She has worked in the adoption field, both as a birthmother counselor and as a consultant for adoptive families. Journey to My Daughter is her first book.

Jennifer lives in the Dallas area with her husband, three children, and several dogs. She is an animal lover with a passion for horses. She rides her two quarter horses on a drill team that performs at local rodeos.

"This book is my adoption story, but it is much more than that. It is also the story of how I discovered what is important in life and how I learned to trust the universe."

Journey to My Daughter is about becoming a mother. It details everything from author Jennifer Rose Asher’s decision to have a child, two miscarriages, a whirlwind trip to Vietnam, and how she eventually found her daughter. Along the way, Jennifer and her husband tried multiple approaches while looking for a child and would never have predicted how and where they would find her.

This memoir is also about self-discovery. It’s as much a tale about recognizing and following signs from the universe as it is a story about family. Along the way, Asher learns to release her driven, forceful nature just enough to allow herself to follow the tide of the journey, making her quest more peaceful and allowing her to achieve her goal of motherhood. Whether you’re a prospective adoptive parent, have experienced a miscarriage, or have no plans to have children at all, Journey to My Daughter will help you find solace, hope, and a few laughs along the way.

The Book: "Where’s My Wine Glass?!, Getting Your Kid to College Without Losing Your Mind" is a frolicking collection of humorous essays for parents of children who are prepping for, leaving for, or attending college. As a long-time college coach, private tutor, and parent of two failure-to-launch college graduates, Linda Presto’s sarcastic voice, no-nonsense tone, and years of experience deliver a much-needed respite from the insanity and competition of acceptance to college. Parents in this stage need a laugh and some straight talk about the process and its pitfalls. Linda is a self-deprecating, yet knowledgeable narrator, who takes parents on a journey through the highlight reel of what they hope will end in smarter kids… and less laundry. Addressing subjects like college visits, university rankings, and empty nest syndrome, Linda’s personal accounts and anecdotes from years of working with students and parents shed light on the universal nature of rearing children and the parents who only want the best for them. That and they want them off their couch!

Linda is a journalist, teacher, and essayist, who earned her MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. 

She is releasing her first humor book, “Where’s My Wine Glass?! Getting Your Kid to College Without Losing Your Mind” while snickering at her own jokes. Linda teaches Writing at her community college, tutors students, and began a reading series for local writers in New Jersey.

Growth Characteristics of Success
This book offers practical advice on how to change your thoughts in order to change your world.

From the Foreword by Andrew Cordle, CEO of Money Is

This book will be a game-changer for those who understand its importance, and that’s the catch-some will miss the point entirely because of their wrong mindset. Robert has come to understand that mindset is the singular make-or-break characteristic for entrepreneurs. Those who embrace the mindset of growth, accountability, integrity, creativity, and fearlessness outlined in this book will no doubt go on to accomplish great things that impact the world. Those who can’t outgrow their comfort zones and stay trapped in a mindset of doubt instead of belief, scarcity instead of bountifulness, or fear instead of love and hope are bound to fail.

The Author: Dylan Brennan is a 16-year-old up-and-coming writer living in London. He's an avid reader, musician, student and gamer but writes a chapter whenever he seizes the chance. Due to a long-held passion for the fantasy genre, the intense boredom of the 2020 pandemic inspired Dylan to begin work on 'Noble: Betrayed', an epic fantasy novel serving as the first instalment of the 'Noble' series.

The book: The world bleeds. Lord Simon Pargion is instantly hesitant when his old friend King Emannar Woodgairrd offers him the role of High Earl in his Kingdom. But while he serves as a leading figure of a collapsing country, his family back home deal with the struggles of maintaining their House, and Emannar's court get wrapped up in the discovery of a cunning plot designed to assassinate the King, resulting in many a casualty. Noble: Betrayed is the first instalment of the Noble series, set in Dylan Brennan's epic fantasy world.

E. A. Maynard had spent more years than he care to count traveling the United States of America and he had meet so many people that have help me have great adventures. The good and bad is what he draw from in my writing. He started off all these adventures in Ohio. In fact, Ohio was where he lived for over thirty years till he moved to the Washington DC area. Now he lives in Virginia a bit away from DC and that is how he likes it.

E. A. Maynard grew up in a small farm town in Northwest Ohio called Risingsun. It was a good and boring town when he was growing up. He was far from a saint, but when there is not much to do, a kid or teenager will find something to do. This led him to being very mischievous and took that well into being an adult. He also liked being that way.

E.A. Maynard has become much more laid back now and lives a different kind of adventure. He is a husband and a father. His family has been a strong theme in his past and present, so you will see this in his writing.

Perley-Ann Friedman is a Canadian author living in the remote paradise island of Koh Lanta, Thailand. As an avid charity worker, cat-lover, expat, retiree, and self-confessed “boomer”, Perley-Ann strives to entertain readers with her life of knowledge, learnings and stories.

I love to write. Been writing since before I started kindergarten. Telling stories is just part of life, a way we entertain ourselves, whether we are telling the story or listening to someone else’s. It’s what keeps us interested in learning, exploring and experiencing our lives.

My most recent book is my story of how I ended up living on Koh Lanta, a small island in southern Thailand.

Moving to Koh Lanta was the best decision I’ve ever made, and I’ve made a lot of decisions. Most of them weren’t great and many were a disaster, but that’s how we learn and grow. I’m okay with screwing up. It makes my life interesting.

My recent book ‘Retired Way Out There: My evolving life on Koh Lanta, Thailand’ is the story of my decision to retire on a remote island. Do you ever think about retiring somewhere completely different from where you lived most of your life? I did, and now I want to share my adventure with you. 

You can read about my many trips to the island, my decision to retire there, and get a home. You can marvel at all my adventures, perils and discoveries, as I transition from a tourist to a local expat. There is also a chapter with helpful advice for those thinking about retiring abroad. The book is interesting, fun, and full of the crazy situations that I got myself into, and out of.

My career and passions have taken me to the Forbidden City, through Tibet, over Everest and to Jim’s Grave. I’ve met the Dali Lama, Pierre Trudeau and my life-partner. I’ve been to Stonehenge, the Acropolis, through the Maasai Mara Reserve, the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, swam in the Dead Sea and toured the Panama Canal.

I may be over 65, but I’m happy, healthy and looking forward to what life brings my way.

In 2006, I created The Block Group to empower women business owners who are experts in their fields. As their trusted advisor, I bring a unique perspective, having experienced and solved many of the same complex issues we face as women, as leaders, as moms, daughters and sisters.

62% of women rely on their businesses for their primary income, yet 88% of these businesses generate less than $100,000 in annual revenue.

Having seen the same struggles time and again, I teach women how to shift their mindset and build their confidence to generate more revenue with less stress by reimagining pricing and selling.

I’m a firm believer that, when women earn more, everyone around them benefits - their staff, their family and their community.

This meaningful work allows me to fulfill my mission of turning roadblocks into building blocks for women-owned businesses.

Clients often refer to me as their “business therapist” and “secret weapon” because I form strong relationships, understand and refine their company’s internal workings, and serve as a strategic sounding board.

I’ve raised three wonderful humans and have now welcomed their partners into our family. My kids have the entrepreneurial bug too and I’m so proud of them!

Our Guest: Catherine Manfre is a business and strategy advisor and consultant with an MBA from the University of Virginia, Darden School of Business and a Bachelor of Arts in Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies from New York University. She has advised private and public sector organizations on a range of business and management challenges and is passionate about solving the hardest, most difficult problems. She lived in Cairo, Egypt for four years where she learned Arabic, met her husband, and became an Egyptian street food connoisseur.

She enjoys running through Rock Creek Park and spending every minute she can with her incredible daughter and husband.

The Book: Not There Yet - September 11th, January 25th, and January 6th.
No one knows a date will become shorthand for a world-changing event when they are brushing their teeth and getting ready for their day.

Barely a teenager on 9/11, Catherine explores her journey from small-town Florida to Cairo, Egypt and back, an unexpected road that put her in a country navigating a decision about which direction it would take.

Catherine talks about her perspective on the events leading up to the Egyptian revolution in 2011, the exhaust of hope, fear, and uncertainty it left behind. She also explores how current day America can learn from the events in Egypt, appreciate and protect our democracy, and work to extend those benefits more equitably.

She also fell in love. And met the man that would become her husband.

I'm Michal Stawicki and I live in Poland, Europe. I've been married for over 19 years and am the father of two boys and one girl. I worked full time in the IT industry before becoming an author. My passions are transparency, integrity and progress.

In August 2012, I read a book called "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olson. It took me a whole month to start implementing ideas from this book. That led me to reading numerous other books on personal development, some effective, some not so much. I took a look at myself and decided this was one person who could surely use some development.

In November of 2012, I created my personal mission statement; I consider it the real starting point of my progress. Over several months time, I applied several self-help concepts and started building inspiring results: I lost some weight, greatly increased my savings, built new skills and got rid of bad habits while developing better ones.

My books are not abstract. I avoid going mystical as much as possible. I don't believe that pure theory is what we need in order to change our lives; the Internet age has proven this quite clearly. What you will find in my books are:

- detailed techniques and methods describing how you can improve your skills and drive results in specific areas of your life
- real life examples
- personal stories

So, whether you are completely new to personal development or have been crazy about the Law of Attraction for years, if you are looking for concrete strategies, you will find them in my books. My writing shows that I am a relatable, ordinary guy and not some ivory tower guru.

Meet Stephanie
Stephanie Wilson believes storytelling can save lives. Her MBA and over a decade of artistic training both help her live out that passion.

Stephanie resides in New York City’s Upper West Side with her scruffy Puerto Rican street dog, Luna.

The Book: Big Waves & Wooden Benches: A True Story

Well, if you’re Stephanie Wilson, you sell all your earthly possessions and set sail around the world for 115 days seeking answers. But big adventures often end with bigger questions, and sometimes truly finding yourself requires the courage to further surrender into the signs and synchronicities.

From big waves on the horizon, pregnant with seemingly endless possibility, to wooden benches in NYC parks portending gloom and despair, Stephanie’s journey of divining the omens and learning how to trust her own quiet knowing, especially against the false sense of stability in the world around her, will resonate deeply with any reader who has ever had the scary and sinking feeling that there must be more to life—along with the will to find the answer.

Andy Frye, write for Rolling Stone and Forbes calls it, "a conjuring of Jack Kerouac with a smarter, more feminine tone. It’s a good read for anyone who loves travel lit with a cozy and sometimes frightening look at post-modern life."

I am a podcaster, first and foremost. It’s my passion, and I don’t know where I would be without it.

In this episode of Living The Next Chapter, I have a conversation with about The Forest of Reading - an initiative to put the joy back into reading for Ontario Students and beyond!

The Forest of Reading is Canada’s largest recreational reading program! This initiative offers ten reading programs to encourage a love of reading in people of all ages. The Forest helps celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators. More than 270,000 readers participate annually from their school and/or public library. All Canadians are invited to participate via their local public library, school library, or individually.

The Forest of Reading Award Programs are where children and young adults pick the winner! Readers choose a program that they would like to be a part of, usually based on their age or grade, and simply begin reading! They can read all ten of the titles, or pick and choose to read only the ones they are interested in. Participants are encouraged to read at least five of the ten titles to be eligible to vote in April. This program aims to encourage a genuine and life-long love of reading among readers of all ages.

Goals of the Forest of Reading
Love of reading: Create a meaningful experience for your readers and give exciting opportunities for reluctant readers to become lifelong readers.
A proven head start: The results are in! Children who read for fun have higher literacy scores, have more success in science and math, and are more socially and civically engaged (Reading for Joy, P4E, 2011).
Libraries at centre stage: With fun activities, prizes and more, the Forest of Reading puts libraries at the heart of the action!
Reading Canadian: Help support and celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators by taking advantage of the Forest’s curated, all-Canadian reading lists for all ages and levels.

What is the Forest of Reading?
The Forest of Reading® is Canada’s largest recreational reading program! This initiative of the Ontario Library Association (OLA) offers eight reading programs to encourage a love of reading in people of all ages. The Forest helps celebrate Canadian books, publishers, authors and illustrators. More than 250,000 readers participate annually from their School and/or Public Library. All Canadians are invited to participate via their local public library, school library, or individually.

When did the Forest of Reading begin?
The program began with the Silver Birch® award in 1993 (Grades 4 – 6) and over the next decade programs were continually added as they attracted the attention of principals, school boards and public libraries across Ontario.

For authors/illustrators and publishers, the exposure to their books is immense. In the 1990s the individual tree programs had their own small ceremonies with hundreds of kids in Toronto. In 2007, OLA teamed up with the International Festival of Authors to create the Festival of Trees and present all awards in one location. This is now the largest children’s literary event in Canada. In 2015, the Toronto Festival and satellite Forest events were attended by 20,000 young readers.

In 2007, OLA teamed up with the International Festival of Authors to create the Festival of Trees and present all awards in one location. This is now the largest children’s literary event in Canada. In 2015, the Toronto Festival and satellite Forest events were attended by 20,000 young readers.

Kristina Lucia Andrews - Handmade Crochet Characters and Accompanying Children's Story Book

Combining her talents to create gorgeous handmade crochet creations with her book to bring these characters to life!

Kristina Lucia is an artist, creator, and author who ignites the imaginations of children and their parents through her limited edition animals and touching storybooks. Her humble beginnings in a small farm town (there was only one traffic light!) sparked her creativity at a young age and her adopted home of New York City keeps her inspired daily. Curiously Curated Creations of Kristina Lucia features a magical array of warm, cuddly and comforting creatures along with storybooks that help parents and kids
improve their communication and deepen their relationships.

Whether she is strutting down Fifth Avenue in Manolos or curled up on her sofa in slipper socks, Kristina is ready to create a masterpiece. Her crochet hooks and knitting needles are always within reach to whip up anything from stuffies to baby sweaters, while her kitchen table is often covered with her watercolor paints and brushes or freshly baked cookies.

After an injury forced her to reconsider her 100-mile-an-hour corporate career, Kristina realized her true path: to be the artist she was meant to be. The door of Curiously Curated Creations of Kristina Lucia opened upon her receiving a sign from her Mom. The journey began in November 2019.

Kristina is also a competitive dancer, an avid reader, and travel buff. When she is not working, you can find her in the studio dancing her cha cha, with her nose in a book, or exploring a new destination.

Dominick Domasky - Our 100th Episode Monumental Moments and how to celebrate the little things

In this episode we discuss the Importance of Gratitude in Daily Life

There are many ways in which you can cultivate your gratitude, there are some people who would say that gratitude doesn’t have to be something that has to be cultivated because it’s the most natural thing in the world.

Others say it is an art form, something you have to work at in order to perfect.

5 Ways to Sweat the Small Stuff and Live a More Fulfilled Life
The small stuff matters and we should spend time paying attention to it.

1 - Understand what you want from life and make those wants known
2 - Start your day right, with a healthy mindset
3 - Find someone who will hold you accountable for the small stuff in life
4 - Celebrate the small victories
5 - Know your limits as an individual and don’t push yourself beyond those limits (Are there limits? Dom challenges this thought!)

Dominick was our very first guest back in episode 3, Dom returns now to look back over 100 episodes and we take a moment to thank and encourage Dom with voice messages from his very own group of Authors that he has helped over the years!  Stick around to the very end to hear 12 minutes of love displayed to Dom by those that love him the most.

Fred Rutman - Living Life After Dying Twenty Times.  Fred's new book is coming out March 9th 2024

Fred Rutman, aka “Repeatedly Dead Fred” was a marketer/consultant and then went into academia as a college professor. He taught MBA, Marketing and Finance for a number of years. After acquiring his MBA, his weight really ballooned, up to 340 pounds. He did all the CICO methods, tried a bariatric doctor (no surgery) and exercised his butt off. He eventually got down to about 280, where he plateaued. Then, the summer of 2009 came crashing down on him and forced him into permanent medical leave.

His heart was stopping and was clinically dead dozens of times. Each time his heart stopped, he collapsed and hit his head, sustaining multiple concussions.

In 2018, he learned about intermittent fasting and life hasn’t been the same for Fred since. He attributes the large majority of his recovery to the healing powers of IF. He reversed T2 diabetes and some of its related issues, and is no longer asthmatic. His sleep apnea even went away. There is still some perpetual anxiety, PTSD and Post-Concussion Syndrome but it gets better every day.

Heidy De La Cruz joins us to share her blog, podcast and new book Words From the Heart

About
Hello, my name is Heidy De La Cruz (Reynoso), I am Dominican-American and I’m passionate about writing! I write poetry, encouraging blog post about personal experiences and any message that God has stored in my heart. I am working on publishing my first poetry book.

First and foremost, I am a daughter of Christ, a wife, and a mother.
I have my Master’s Degree in Healthcare Administration through Belhaven University, and I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Science with the concentration of Psychology and Healthcare Administration, through Keiser University.

Psychology and mental health are other passions; I love reading about it, and studying it. I am an advocate for therapy because of the way it helped me.
I am an active reader, as well. I love non-fiction books because I love history, and I enjoy learning. The more you know, the better, and I am a true believer that knowledge is power.

The Book: Words From the Heart comes from a place of hurt and trauma. It goes through the journey of processing the trauma, accepting, and healing. It reflects feelings, situations, and stories from the imagination

I Started a Podcast!
And here’s why. In 2019 I got the urge to want to start a podcast, but I was working on my master’s degree, so that was taking up the majority of my free time. In 2020 the world shut down. And last year, I was pregnant and mostly sick. So, this is finally the year I launched my podcast!

It’s called The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants. In this podcast, I sit down and talk with immigrants about their journey coming to the United States. We discuss their first memory of the US, their expectations vs. their reality of the US, the culture shocks they experienced, and how they adapted to living in a new country.

These stories are important to tell, they are important to listen to, and they are important to know because this country is made up of immigrants. This country has such rich diversity, and there is no other country like this. It’s not easy for families to leave their culture, language, food, and country and start over in a foreign land. Many are fleeing to find safety because their lives are in danger.

The first episode is available now. And you can find the podcast on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Spotify, Castbox, and Amazon Music. New episodes on Tuesdays!

With Love, Heidy

Win Charles Multi Author and Podcaster with Cerebral Palsy on a mission to help others with disabilities

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Win Charles has defied the odds by becoming an author. Her memoir I, Win is an amazing story of how she remembers her life through the years of having a condition called “CP”. Competing in the Kona Iron Man Triathlon, she truly is an inspiration to many. Today she is planning on touring the country and speaking to schools and institutions to raise awareness about cerebral palsy. She is also an advocate of veterans across the world.

After losing her mom Win decided to write “I, Win”, her own biography. It was an exciting process but she was not as happy with the end result as she could have been because the process was rushed. She knew she wanted to do things differently but she didn’t listen to her intuition and speak up so the book would be more polished and professional.

After a horrible experience in the hospital that caused her spine to go dead, Win was told she had to go through excruciating physical therapy and psychological treatment. She did the physical therapy but said “no thank you” to seeing a psychologist. Instead, she channeled her anger into art and then into a book which has opened up all new avenues in her life.

Win is tenacious. If she wants to get something she doesn’t stop until she has figured it out how to get it. She is resilient and persistent. If you want to get what you want, you have to figure it out!

Win Charles Multi Author and Podcaster with Cerebral Palsy on a mission to help others with disabilities

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Win Charles has defied the odds by becoming an author. Her memoir I, Win is an amazing story of how she remembers her life through the years of having a condition called “CP”. Competing in the Kona Iron Man Triathlon, she truly is an inspiration to many. Today she is planning on touring the country and speaking to schools and institutions to raise awareness about cerebral palsy. She is also an advocate of veterans across the world.

After losing her mom Win decided to write “I, Win”, her own biography. It was an exciting process but she was not as happy with the end result as she could have been because the process was rushed. She knew she wanted to do things differently but she didn’t listen to her intuition and speak up so the book would be more polished and professional.

After a horrible experience in the hospital that caused her spine to go dead, Win was told she had to go through excruciating physical therapy and psychological treatment. She did the physical therapy but said “no thank you” to seeing a psychologist. Instead, she channeled her anger into art and then into a book which has opened up all new avenues in her life.

Win is tenacious. If she wants to get something she doesn’t stop until she has figured it out how to get it. She is resilient and persistent. If you want to get what you want, you have to figure it out!

The book: I, Win - At age 24 I decided to tell my story. Writing this autobiography gave me the opportunity to pay tribute to my family members who are passionate about life and have instilled this passion in me.

My parents' extraordinary support, encouragement, and pure love were my foundation as I navigated life, overcame obstacles, and achieved successes as a young woman with cerebral palsy.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 43 million women and 38 million men will experience mental or emotional abuse by an intimate partner in their lifetime. Many are afraid to leave these abusive relationships for a variety of reasons - fear, shame, embarrassment, lack of education or job skills, or even because they have nowhere to go.  I know these feelings all too well as I, too, experienced gaslighting (verbal abuse).  It’s time to stop the abuse!

Our youngest author guest to date! 

Shanti Hershenson’s first two novellas were published when she was in the sixth grade, although her writing journey started long before then. Ever since she could hold a pencil, marker, or crayon, she was creating stories. They started from pictures, mere scribbles, and eventually, turned into captivating tales.

She lives in California with her parents, sister, and furry friends. Besides writing, she enjoys skateboarding, Beyblading, free-running, falconry, and of course, reading. 

She writes in a variety of genres, including Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Historical Fiction, although she mostly sticks to Sci-Fi.

She advocates for anti-bullying, and you may find her at open mic-nights, performing her spoken word poem Needles & Thorns, which is about the struggle of bullying in middle schools.

On November 1, millions of people celebrate authors and the books they write on National Author’s Day.

#NationalAuthorsDay

Books have a mind of their own. They take time to develop, research, draft, edit, revise and rewrite. We devour stories. We indulge in them as we drift off to sleep or travel. And sometimes, we allow them to collect dust on several flat surfaces in our homes. Those stories may take years to reach a publisher and just as long to reach a bookshelf. We may have only one favorite author or many collected works with which we cannot part. Whether we prefer fiction, non-fiction, or a mix of both, authors have been telling stories to fill our heads for thousands of years.

Authors also keep a record of history through their stories. They mark time through their observations. Their tales create remarkable memories of a place, sealing it between the pages of the binding. Their books allow us to keep coming back to visit again and again. 

After her grandmother’s death in 1968, Sue Cole promoted the observance of National Authors Day. She urged people to write a note to their favorite author on November 1, to “brighten up the sometimes lonely business of being a writer.” She also suggested flying the American flag as another way of showing appreciation for the writers who have created American literature. 

HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL AUTHOR’S DAY

Purchase some books by your favorite author to support them. Share your favorite novels online while encouraging an aspiring author. Use #NationalAuthorsDay to post on social media.

NATIONAL AUTHOR’S DAY HISTORY

In 1928, Nellie Verne Burt McPherson, president of the Bement, Illinois Women’s Club, had an idea of setting aside a day to celebrate American authors. McPherson was a teacher, and throughout her life, an avid reader. While she was recuperating in the hospital during World War I, she wrote a fan letter to fiction writer, Irving Bacheller. She told him how much she enjoyed reading his story Eben Holden’s Last Day A’ Fishin.  

Upon receiving her letter, Bacheller sent her an autographed copy of another story. It was then that McPherson realized she would never be able to thank him adequately for his gift. McPherson decided to show her appreciation by submitting an idea for a National Author’s Day to the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. In May of 1929, the club endorsed a resolution for National Author’s Day to be observed honoring American writers. The United States Department of Commerce recognized this day in 1949.

Upon receiving her letter, Bacheller sent her an autographed copy of another story. It was then that McPherson realized she would never be able to thank him adequately for his gift. McPherson decided to show her appreciation by submitting an idea for a National Author’s Day to the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. In May of 1929, the club endorsed a resolution for National Author’s Day to be observed honoring American writers. The United States Department of Commerce recognized this day in 1949.

Sheldon Identifies as being a person with a disability that isn’t a disability. He says he has “dis” – ability to overcome obstacles and challenges. He is merb’y, and a choir member of stella’s circle inclusion choir.

Sheldon is active as a professional speaker and is an advocate of equal rights for all persons with disabilities. Through his talking, he helps anyone out there looking for inspiration to set and achieve their goals.

The Book: KEEP on WALKING – A Transformative & Inspirational Journey

This book is a transformational and inspirational journey that shows you how to overcome obstacles and strive forward.

Do you remember a time when you hit rock bottom? Are you familiar with the feeling of being an outsider, falling into the depths of darkness, and losing your passion for life?

KEEP on WALKING, Sheldon Crocker’s personal story of grit and determination is designed to encourage other individuals to do the same. Crocker shows how one can cope with traumas and overcome obstacles by answering life’s battle cry.

Sheldon saw himself as broken and damaged because of his physical disability. You will be guided through Sheldon’s experience through his years living with a disability, learning what became his inner light and how he began to heal. Come upon the path that he took to reject the “disabled boy” label, discover his passion and purpose, and begin a restorative and transformative journey.

There is a message here about how we can rise from the ashes and walk into wholeness and freedom.

We get the best legal advice yet from James Voigt - what kind of advice?  How about how to give your 2 weeks notice before going solo - how to build something before you quit your job.  By investing in yourself and growing who you are, you can gain clarity as to your next step in your career and in your life!

Author of Going Solo - Leveling the Playing Field in Professional Services

That nagging voice in your head is probably right.

I am not on a crusade to convince everyone to go solo. My crusade is to reach those who want to go solo but are afraid to try to pull it off.

Jim Voigt had had the spirit of a solo professional from a young age, starting his first business "Corporate Start-Ups" at the age of 14. After a successful career in sales, Jim turned to law and put his sales skills to work building a strong book of business. But traditional employment never "clicked" and Jim longed for more freedom both financially and personally. His transition to solo practice went well, but he saw other solo professionals struggle. He wanted to help.

Going Solo is the result of his research into the struggles and successes of his own career and those professionals he met along his journey. Jim now brings his practical message of the attainability of solo freedom to others who feel trapped in traditional firms or underperforming solo practices.

Our Guest: William R. Douglas is a first-time novelist. After obtaining a Journalism Degree in 1980, his career took a turn down the road of Information Technology. In the IT Field, he was still able to enjoy writing, no matter if it was technical documentation, newsletters or other material. He lives in the small town of McHenry, Illinois, with his wife Laurie and cat Peaches. They enjoy spending time with 6 kids and 8 grandkids and are very active in their local church.

The Book: THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF BASEBALL: ECHOES FROM A DISTANT PAST

In the year 2166, a post Second Civil War America is finally back on its feet. Among the countless personal and cultural casualties of the war, the sport of baseball has been dead for over a hundred years. 12-year-old Joe Scott lives in the northern Illinois city of McHenry and goes exploring in the woods one day in a no man's land that a hundred years earlier was the site of the bloodiest battle of the war. While there, he discovers a relic from the distant past, from before the war. It sparks a search for its meaning. Little does he know that the wheels of Providence have been unwittingly set in motion which leads to a stunning discovery in Dyersville, Iowa.

Soon, the answers begin to unfold, and a magical sequence of events leads to an epic finale on a national stage.

Dr. Orlena Kerek - Pediatric doctor turned family health advocate and author - I'm going to show you how to make healthy living fun and easy so you can lose weight, get more energy and love your amazing life. I help ambitious mums have bucket loads of energy and overcome the frustration of not losing weight by teaching them to eat and be healthy, to look after themselves and feel fit and fabulous.

I'm here to show you it can be easy to lead a healthy life, wake up every morning full of energy and ready to take on the day!

And if weight is an issue for you, I'll show you how to ditch the yo-yo dieting and enjoy a healthy relationship with delicious, tasty and healthy food.

I worked as a doctor in the UK. It broke my heart to see so many sick people in hospital dying of “lifestyle disease” that could have been prevented with a healthy lifestyle.

I moved to Spain in 2011 because I wanted to lead my “ideal life”. I moved away from clinical practice to helping families establish healthy habits. What I love is seeing changes in families and knowing that I’m helping people lead long healthy lives and avoid all those nasty lifestyle illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease and even some cancers.

Christine Smart is an Author who literally found her book! 

Christine Smart is an English teacher who loves music and helping children understand that there is power in using their gifts. She was lauded as Texas’s 2022 Teacher of the Year.

“The Rings That Sing is an inspiring story allowing children to dream big and reach for the stars! Knowing that their greatest gifts lie within, they just need to believe in themselves and do their best!”

Written years ago, Christine and her family found her writings digging through memories and boxes! 

Inspired by a love of music and the violin, The Rings that Sing shares the story of spirited Jemma as she receives a violin from her parents. Equal parts excited and disappointed that she can't play it, Jemma awakens in the middle of the night to a curious new friend who takes her on a magical adventure. Will Jemma learn to embrace her inner gifts and make the violin sing?

Our guest today is Alison Tedford is an author, consultant and a mom. I’m Indigenous (Kwakiutl First Nation) and based in Abbotsford, BC. I have over a decade of government experience contributing to culturally sensitive data storytelling, policy analysis and program development and seven years of private sector experience creating information products that educate, inform and delight.

I’ve helped entrepreneurs, governments and brand leaders design their visions of inclusion, strategize about how to get there with practical, concrete action and find the words to talk about it. I create an inviting space where questions are encouraged and welcome and that allows for growth and experimentation.

Doing Good and Telling Better Stories
I take an intersectional approach and collaborate with non-profits and businesses that honour that Black, Trans and Indigenous Lives Matter, that disability access is a right not a privilege and that further the equality of women. I believe in creating an affinity based on shared values to create a committed community instead of driving action through fear, pity and shame.

The Right Words At The Right Time
I believe in telling stories that centre the strength of communities that are served, sharing perspectives respectfully, through consent-based practices and in a way that’s culturally sensitive. The best way we can respect our partners, the people who benefit from social impact work, is to share about these collaborations in a way that is anti-exploitative, does not centre narratives of saviorism and protects the dignity of all involved.

Reneau Peurifoy is an internationally known author, therapist, and teacher. Over his four-decade career he has written books that have been translated into multiple languages. He has also appeared on numerous radio and television programs as well as on many podcasts. The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA), the nation’s primary organization for anxiety-related problems, has invited him to speak at eleven of their national conferences.

Peurifoy’s ability to reduce complex ideas into simple, easy-to-understand terms and apply them to daily life can be seen in his books that have been translated into multiple languages. It’s also the reason he has been invited on numerous radio and television programs as well as multiple podcasts. One of the forces that drives his work is his desire to provide people with tools that can help them live happier and more productive lives.

Born and raised in California, Peurifoy received his master’s degree in counseling from the University of San Francisco.  It was during this time that he wrote his first book, Anxiety, Phobias & Panic: Taking Charge and Conquering Fear, that has now sold over 200,000 copies.

After publishing two more books that became known in multiple languages, Peurifoy retired from private practice to teach at a local college. He is now retired from teaching and has finished a new book, Why You Feel the Way You Do, that will be released in 2023.

Our Guest: Christine O’Brien Horstman is a life and career coach and a professional development instructor. Her specialty is emotional intelligence and communication skills. She is an expert in the DISC model of human behavior and personality strengths. As a mother and a chronic illness warrior, she knows how hard it can be to take care of yourself and your family when life gets tough. Coping with cancer and one health crisis after another equipped her with a toolbox that she shares with others facing their own times of stress. The self-advocacy skills she learned as a patient enabled her to be the advocate her son needed when he was diagnosed with learning differences and experienced his own health issues.

Book - Deal with It, Doll!: Coaching Yourself Through Crisis
We could not have imagined with our clever ‘2020 vision’ slogans at the start of the new year that we would get a collective punch to the gut come spring. You may be going along

Our collective health crisis inspired this book, but it’s built for the most common curveballs. The stuff many of us face personally and professionally in any given year. The changes most of us will deal with in our lifetimes. Parenting. Careers. Finances. Handling failures and fractures and managing our relationships. Health problems. All of it.

Our Guest: Christine O’Brien Horstman is a life and career coach and a professional development instructor. Her specialty is emotional intelligence and communication skills. She is an expert in the DISC model of human behavior and personality strengths. As a mother and a chronic illness warrior, she knows how hard it can be to take care of yourself and your family when life gets tough. Coping with cancer and one health crisis after another equipped her with a toolbox that she shares with others facing their own times of stress. The self-advocacy skills she learned as a patient enabled her to be the advocate her son needed when he was diagnosed with learning differences and experienced his own health issues.

Book - Deal with It, Doll!: Coaching Yourself Through Crisis
We could not have imagined with our clever ‘2020 vision’ slogans at the start of the new year that we would get a collective punch to the gut come spring. You may be going along

Our collective health crisis inspired this book, but it’s built for the most common curveballs. The stuff many of us face personally and professionally in any given year. The changes most of us will deal with in our lifetimes. Parenting. Careers. Finances. Handling failures and fractures and managing our relationships. Health problems. All of it.

Tamara is a writing coach + editor who specializes in developing and editing non-fiction books with visionary women

You might ignore that small voice inside for years. You might do everything but write your book. 

But I can tell you one thing I’ve learned: it’s that if you don’t write that book you’re called to write, then the person who so deeply needs it will go hungry.

I’M TAMARA 

I’ve developed + edited books with 50+ authors since starting my business as a tiny side hustle in 2012. 

I’ve worked with some trailblazing authors, including Denise Duffield Thomas, Leonie Dawson and Lisa Lister, and have edited both freelance for self-published authors, as well as for Hay House UK.

I can help you if you: 

  • Have an inkling… a nudge… an idea for a book that just won’t go away, 
  • Never thought you’d be an author; that’s for ‘other people’, not for you
  • Might have had an idea for years, just in the back of your mind but you know you can’t ignore it any more. 
  • Are at a stage in business where your profile needs a boost: you’ve got enough knowledge under your belt now to really showcase your expertise. 

I know that a book’s a big project… like, PROPERLY big. It’s daunting. It’s like looking up at a mountain from the bottom and not knowing how you’ll ever get to the top. 

I’ll be your guide on the way, books are a known terrain for me. We can do it together.

More than 20 years ago, Kelly Kaur was a poet. But, as is usually the case with aspiring writers, she also got plenty of rejection. So much so that she eventually let her literary ambitions slide to the background. Life happened. She concentrated on family and her career at Mount Royal University, where she has been teaching in the English department.

Like Simran, Kaur left Singapore to avoid an arranged marriage. She attended the University of Calgary and experienced a similar fish-out-of-water culture shock when it came to life in Alberta. 

“When the Griffin mission goes up to the moon, there’s going to be a NASA rover that is going up,” she said. “Peralta is also sending the books and the novels. They are going to go up on that same capsule at the same time. They stay up in the moon forever, these analogue/digital little batteries that will just be up there until someone finds them or not.”

The Book: Exit to Morvana
EXIT TO MORVANA

Do the painful disappointments in life make you wonder “Where is the exit door on this planet? Consider the tale of over worked, lonely Samantha who one day meets a mysterious Alien while visiting a metaphysical book store.

She eventually engages in a romance with him. He offers to take her to Morvana, a planet in the Andromeda galaxy where the people have such long life spans they are virtually immortal. The Morvanian civilization has suffered through all the trials and tribulations that planet Earth has and overcome them. 

This has resulted in a nearly perfect Utopian planet. The only catch is, Samantha must agree to leave Earth and everything she knows — forever. If you had such an opportunity, would you go?

What inspired you to write exit to morvana?

A: It started out as a book about our socioeconomic problems on this planet. But then I began to think that such a book would be both depressing and boring. This was 1997, and I had an hour and a half commute to and from the neighboring town I was working in. I had to pass by a lake where I had a UFO experience in 1989. I began to wonder what beings from another planet would think of us, and the way we treat one another. From then on I began making notes and characters in the story began to materialize.

Hi, I’m Chelsie! I’ll never forget when I was about ten years old and my grandmother looked at me one day and said, “child, you get everything that comes down this family line.”

What was she talking about?

Blood sugar issues, inability to pay attention, gas, bloating, constipation, and nausea after meals. My doctors labeled these symptoms as IBS, hypoglycemia, and ADD.

The older I got, the more diagnoses I received. In college, it was anxiety, depression, hypothyroidism, and then came the dreaded perimenopause at age 27.
 
As a nurse, I realized that I was just like my patients – being told that medication and surgery was the way out. I was told I would have to live with it. That’s not an answer I was willing to accept.

One day it clicked. I thought, “what if there’s a better way?”    
 
The Book: Healed His Way
God created your body with an amazing capacity to heal itself when you give it what it needs. Most Western medicine is focused on alleviating symptoms without addressing the root cause.

Hi, I’m Chelsie! I’ll never forget when I was about ten years old and my grandmother looked at me one day and said, “child, you get everything that comes down this family line.”

What was she talking about?

Blood sugar issues, inability to pay attention, gas, bloating, constipation, and nausea after meals. My doctors labeled these symptoms as IBS, hypoglycemia, and ADD.

The older I got, the more diagnoses I received. In college, it was anxiety, depression, hypothyroidism, and then came the dreaded perimenopause at age 27.

Jason Galvez, Author of I Am Loved Right Where I Am joins us today!

More about our guest! Jason - Mr. Jay, shares on his website,

Have you ever felt lost, confused, unlovable, out-of-touch, angry, or on the verge of losing it all or yourself? Changing all this is as simple as picking up your phone.

It is said that the definition of insanity is doing something repeatedly the same way but expecting a different outcome. Is there an area in life you are unhappy with? Are there things in your life that you know you want and need to change but not sure where to start? Are you struggling in your relationship(s), your marriage, or single life?

Lord knows I’ve been there. All my life I saw all my friends thrive while I struggled every day just to survive. I was the product of divorce, raised in poverty (on some pretty rough streets) and thrown into special-ed for a minor speech impediment. At fourteen I moved out on my own and after years of therapy, tapping into my faith, self-examination, endless podcasts, books, hard work and determination found the true me and gained a whole new perspective on life.

FUN FACTS ABOUT Mr. Jay

I am very much a family man. When I am not coaching or public speaking, I love spending time with my family. I have a nine-year-old son and four-year-old daughter and they are my world. I love spending time with extended family. When I have time, I enjoy taking the family to our local zoo and – just between you and I -my guilty pleasures are watching Investigation Discovery and Animal Planet.

We talk all things parenting with our guest Kim Muench Author of Becoming Me While Raising You – a Mother's Journey to Her Self

Kim's mission is to help Moms unlock their inner wisdom so they can be the calm, confident guide their children deserve.

In May 2008, I went through the greatest parenting challenge of my life. The eldest of my five children called me from across the country to say he was in trouble…he was failing classes, about to lose his job, and his use of alcohol was totally out of control.

At the time he was twenty years old.

When I answered his call for help, I didn’t waste time wondering how it had happened or ask myself, “Why me?!” I knew the way I had parented him and was parenting, contributed to the life-threatening situation he was in and one that I could no longer deny.

Our Guest:

Mike is an executive coach, a speaker and an author of the book: The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home. His book is both practical and personal. He worked as a psychotherapist and saw that there were flaws in the system.

He came to believe that there was a problem about the way “the system” thinks about mental illness and mental health. Now he works as a coach to help people look forward to create the life they want to live and unleash their inner genius.

The Book: The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home


In The Myth-Guided Mind, Michael Hynes delivers a powerful proposition: we are not nearly so broken as the devices we use to make us well. With a success rate of around 20 per cent, conventional therapy tactics turn us towards false answers and away from what we need most.

Hynes argues that healing techniques such as somatics, coupled with a reconnection to allegories that hide the keys to our happiness in plain sight, will lead us home. We need to access the same old stories to stop repeating our same old stories.

Why I built this series

Tiffy Rose created a series of Addiction/Recovery books for the public in a time where the world faces addiction in staggering proportions, showing the cause and effect of abuse and trauma in early life creating in most cases addictive behavior.  This series brings awareness and recovery solutions to those looking for understanding to change their lives. Helping them grow with determination and discipline, and the Self-Empowerment to embrace a new LIFE JOURNEY!

With over seventeen years (2019) in recovery, after twenty-five years in addiction Rose has championed her past in order to help others find their own Serenity in recovery.

Addiction through the eyes of a recovering addict and the story it holds, I wrote The Big Trap… Just One Last High, never expecting to write additional work. I wrote this series, which has now turned into a new platform of Self-Driven Recovery for a problem that has been part of society for far too long. I began writing my own experience, strength and hopes not long after moving into my new home hoping to help those still suffering from addiction crisis and recovery stigma. My platform brings to the many that are falling behind but actually want help, the help they need.

Today on Living The Next Chapter, we speak with Jonathan R Rose - Published Author of Carrion, The Spirit of Laughter, Wedlock and Gato y Lobo.

Jonathan Rose grew up in Toronto - a neighbourhood filled with the sights and sounds of many cultures, different voices, traditions and faces.  Seeing many different cultures every day became Jonathan's super power.  Jonathan set out to not just see the world, but live the world.  As he travels and transplants himself he finds inspiration in the stories lived in front of him every day.  Take a journey with us, an author journey with a purpose!

The ability to tell a story in a clear and concise manner that anybody can understand has always been my strength and my passion.

When I’m not writing I’m usually reading a new story, watching a new story, or walking around observing the world around me while putting together a new story in my mind. Like a mathematician thinks in numbers, an athlete thinks in physical movements, and a musician thinks in notes and verses, I think in story.

I will always enjoy the thrill of invention and the freedom of exploration that comes with writing fiction, but since 2019 I have also developed a passion for creating compelling narratives based on actual events, and I have found telling true stories as faithfully as possible to be as rewarding as it is challenging.

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom" Aristotle

The 5Ls is the brainchild of Sal LaGreca.  After being admitted to the partnership at KPMG, he attended a Harvard Executive Leadership program with some of the top global business leaders focusing on the key components for success in business. This experience ignited the thought process for Sal that would lead him to the creation of the 5Ls.

It has recently gained recognition as the result of a meeting between Sal and Mike Mannix, also a global executive and well-known leadership expert at New York University (NYU). Once Mike heard the 5Ls concept, based on his experience in leadership training, he knew immediately the impact it could make on people’s lives. 

The 5Ls facilitates the continuous pursuit of achieving balance in 5 essential life elements

LOVE  Self-love, Oxygen Mask Theory, Positive support of others

LAUGHTER Stress Management - don’t take yourself too seriously

LABOR Passion & Purpose - the benefits of doing what you love

LEISURE "Me Time", Disconnect, Clear Minds = Better Decisions

LEAVE Knowing when to pivot - manage change, adjust the sails

About our guest - The world needs to hear your message.

Bridget Sicsko helps 6 & 7 figure female business owners, CEOS, entrepreneurs & organizations write best-selling books, craft their brand story, sell out their programs and master their messaging.

Bridget can help you get present, channel your message and confidently articulate your story to gain global recognition.

Bridget is the founder of Exalted Publishing House, a Podcast Host, Dog Mom, Kundalini Yoga Teacher and a Visibility Coach.

I had a massive awakening during my teen years when I was healing from Lymes Disease. I went to doctor after doctor and felt like I wasn't being "heard" as I started to connect the dots of how all aspects of our body are inter-related.

I made it my mission to make sure that no one else ever feels not seen or heard as they share their truth.

I work with female entrepreneurs, leaders and large-scale organizations to produce books that represent truth and sharing powerful stories. We work with a focus on story-telling, visibility and getting media coverage.

As a yogi and someone who is fascinated with the study of SOUND, I firmly believe in the power of words, stories and voices to shift the way we view reality, our potential and our purpose on the planet.

In addition, my focus is on community. I like to call myself a master community builder as I have gathered hundreds of female leaders in my online community, mastermind program, networking events & women's circles.

Unhealed wounds, a thirst for unavailable men, and years of seeking salvation in temporary homes found twenty-one-year-old Kristin on the doorstep of a decades-older sugar daddy. She thought her life was finally about to begin.

But dating Bradley was not the fairytale she expected.

When Kristin’s dangerous binge of sex, substances, and scandal landed her in a detective’s office, she didn’t suspect that the toughest questions would be the honest ones she had to start asking herself.

Sex, Drugs & Soul is the true story of one woman’s healing quest to discover grace within the shadow side of her psyche and behaviors. Forced to come face-to-face with her tendencies toward people-pleasing and self-abandonment amidst grief and abuse, Kristin finally realized what she had truly been missing—herself.

Kristin Birdwell is no stranger to pain and chaos. After experiencing the death of her father, psychological and sexual abuse, and the loss of loved ones to prison, suicide, and addiction, she coped by seeking love, worthiness, and acceptance in all the wrong places.

Fortunately, these life experiences served as the catalyst for her spiritual journey into yoga, meditation, channeled light healing, and coaching.

Connection with others has always been most important to me, so I welcome you to my website. I’m delighted that you’re here and hope you will find something meaningful that sparks your interest. If you do and would like to talk about it, please contact me.

Before you read on, you might want to watch a few of the clips from an interview I did with Raymond Ellman, the founding editor-in-chief of Inspicio Arts, an arts publication sponsored by Florida International University’s College of Communication, Architecture, and the Arts. Within these short clips, you will be introduced to my work with Holocaust survivors, a sacred legacy journal project I did for the daughter of a friend who had died, some of my educational experiences, my journaling, and more.

In 2012, I completed Room 732, my debut collection of short stories based on the Hollywood Beach Hotel. Ever since 1984, with each walk I took along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, I thought about writing this book. I never lost sight of that goal and finally cleared the space to sit down and make it happen.

After twenty years of working on my legacy journal project, I published Living and Leaving My Legacy, Vol. 1. —a legacy journal for this and future generations. In reading through 359 of my journals, I came to understand the value and impact of journaling as well as the importance of sharing the essence of who I am. I do so in the hopes that readers will look at my life as a mirror into their own. My ultimate goal is to help people understand that how we live our lives becomes our legacy.

Christopher Veal is a former combat veteran, and a Black man with 25 years of experience in talent and leadership development. He hosts The Vulnerable Man podcast, is a TEDx speaker, and an executive coach and leadership consultant. He works with leaders to leverage vulnerability to create a deeper connection between themselves and those under their charge.

He works deliberately each day to live into his purpose of creating authentic connections. He knows that some days he does better than others at leaning in to being vulnerable, and aims to improve with every interaction

What holds men in unhealthy masculinity? Why is vulnerability looked down on in the 21st century?

In The Whole Man, author Christopher Veal delves into these questions. Showing how men are held in unhealthy masculinity, Veal shows how to incorporate the idea of vulnerability to create a greater connection with people around us.

In this book, you will learn about:

  • How masculinity has influenced men to be closed off from their emotions
  • The five habits of the “Whole Man”
  • How to build and maintain rich and deep relationships with others

The Whole Man is a book that speaks to people who want to look at masculinity in a healthier and more inclusive way, and who are ready to move beyond the confining views of outdated masculinity.

E46 - Maisie Sullivan - Author of Five Days in Istanbul - A Trip that became so much more! EPISODE 46 -

Three madcap friends make a spontaneous decision to take a five-day break to the historic, cosmopolitan city of Istanbul, but almost from the start, things begin to go wrong. Their travel plans are put in jeopardy by a silly mistake. Their arrival is greeted with less than enthusiasm by the powers that be. The rest of their week is filled with drama, comedy, irony and, everything in between. Historic sites, thronging streets and beautiful vistas hold hidden pitfalls and all manner of escapades befall them.

Join them on their riotous journey where they encounter all kinds of events and characters that make this an unforgettable adventure.

Maisie Sullivan is the pen name of Kath Shadnia, a semi-retired teacher. Born in Islington, London, where she spent the first 40 years of her life. After leaving school she worked in administration, secretarial roles and also worked as an estate agent for many years. After the tragic death of her brother in 1990, she recognised that she felt unfulfilled.

Never having excelled at school, she decided to go back into education and studied for a degree in Business and Economics, at The University of East London. It was a proud moment when she graduated with an Honours Degree in 1993.

Shortly afterward she received a job offer for a teaching post abroad. In September 1993, with one suitcase, a one-way ticket, and sixty pounds in her pocket, she flew to the Middle East. She remained there for almost ten years.

On returning to the UK, she became a licensee but soon returned to teaching, and training teachers. She finally retired from education in 2017. She now pursues her other interests in Holistic and Complementary Therapy and her lifelong passion for writing.

Married, with two grown-up sons, she currently lives in Shropshire, with her husband and her rescue dog Ritchie.

Five Days in Istanbul is her debut novel.

The sale is not complete until the money is in the bank...but you must collect it first.

Collections are uncomfortable for everyone involved on both ends of the unfinished transaction - the flustered customer dodging the persistent calls of companies with outstanding invoices for goods or services rendered, as well as corporate employees tasked with the job of acquiring the money businesses are owed. In Collect the Cash: The Sale is not Complete Until the Money is in the Bank, financial expert and author Dee Bowden teaches the business of collections doesn't have to be miserable - but it must be done. In Collect the Cash, Dee shares her personal blueprint that has propelled her into success for over 10 years in the B2B (business to business) collections industry, boasting $13 million dollars (and counting) of outstanding debt recovered for corporations and government agencies.

Combining personal anecdotes with proven methods of tangible solutions, Collect the Cash is a practical guide teaching businesses at every level to collect their money with ease, ensuring that every invoice is paid in full or ensuring that no money is left behind.

Dee wrote Collect The Cash to teach small business owners to solve their cash flow issues.

About the book

Autism with a Side of Sushi is a hopeful book about my experiences as a first-time mother, learning to navigate parenthood with a child on the autism spectrum. It shares the story of the connection between me and my son as we navigate the various stages of growing up. Starting from the first days of colic to the diagnosis to the successes and failures at school and home, this book will take you on our journey. 

If you are touched by autism in some aspect of your life, this book will give insight on what life is like, parenting a child on the spectrum. If you are parenting a child on the spectrum, perhaps you will feel less isolated. Perhaps you are interested in learning more about the topic of autism. Whatever the reason you chose my book, I hope it will make you laugh, cringe, and roll your eyes with me and my son as we navigate our lives, our emotions and our unique challenges,

When I started this project, I asked my son if I could write a book that shared some of his stories and experiences.  At first, he was hesitant but when he asked me why I wanted to write it, I explained that I wanted to share our lives with others so that more people can learn about autism. I told him that I wanted to write a book that makes autism common place, to remove the mystery surrounding the autism spectrum and to increase understanding and encourage kindness. 

My son said that if this book will make people nicer to people on the spectrum, I should write it.

This unusual and uplifting book, Childhood Trauma Recovery: The Email Conversations With My Therapist That Helped Me Overcome Childhood PTSDis a true and authentic chronicle of my therapy journey to overcome childhood PTSD from extensive childhood abuse at the hands of both my parents. It is a first-hand account and shows the building of the therapeutic relationship, as told through a series of email conversations.

In Childhood Trauma Recovery: The Email Conversations With My Therapist That Helped Me Overcome Childhood PTSD, you are drawn into the client-therapist relationship – a relationship that is normally kept private - and how this evolves and strengthens over the course of the book.

Childhood Trauma Recovery: The Email Conversations With My Therapist That Helped Me Overcome Childhood PTSD will be of interest to psychotherapists, psychotherapy students and anyone having therapy themselves for complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD).
If you are a psychotherapist, Childhood Trauma Recovery may help you both develop your practice and support your clients. Because it’s about the client-therapist relationship, it may challenge your perception of therapeutic boundaries.

If you know someone with C-PTSD, Childhood Trauma Recovery demonstrates that it is possible to heal childhood trauma and lead a more fulfilling life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR and our Guest!

Lizzy Cangro is an international expert nutritionist and wellness coach with a deep passion for helping other women finally get the body they’ve always wanted without dieting. 

Inspired by my own journey to love my body, I founded Nutrition by Lizzy in 2017, to help clients stop calorie counting, enjoy eating without guilt and confidently step into the body they love - and sustain it. 

I’m a licensed member of the Association for Nutrition, certified teacher and fitness instructor. My research-guided articles and podcasts on body image, healthy eating, self-love and weight loss have been featured across the world. 

Holding an MA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Nutrition from King’s College London, I pair a scientific approach with empathetic understanding to help my clients silence their inner critic, prioritize their health and wellness, practice self compassion, and let go of the anxiety of comparing themselves to other women. 

As a teenager, bad advice from non-experts resulted in an eating disorder that lasted ten years. After much inner work, I reclaimed my body confidence, and now use my journey to inspire and motivate others to rebel against the diet industry and find confidence, joy and peace in their bodies.

Ever been worried about making the right choice?

You’ve a decision to make and you’re not sure how to go about it?

So many of us women live our whole lives for others, making choices based on the impact our decision will have on those around us.

You’re ready to change all of that, yet you’re not sure how.

You wish you knew how to ditch the shoulda, coulda, wouldas, and live a life you truly love.

You feel life is passing you by, and that your dream will die with you, yet your life is so full and a part of you believes that change will take time you don’t have.

“The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

Anais Nin

When the pain of continuing in the same-old ways becomes more painful than your willingness to explore new possibilities, in Decide – choose your own PATH, you’ll transition into who you choose to be.

The PATH approach is a sure-fire way for you to make effective and empowered decisions.

From midlife on, women have been caught up in the myths of getting older—pain, anxiety, depression, memory loss, and becoming a lesser member of society.

More than just a mindfulness book or self care journal, PRESENT is a motivational book for women in the second half of life. It is filled with questions that challenge our thoughts on aging, self-acceptance, and life purpose for women over 40.

Nancy Candea is a yoga therapist and life coach who helps women make peace with their past, find self-acceptance, and step wholeheartedly into their purpose. She has brought healing to women in shelters, to elite athletes, and to seven-figure households. Her work and impact with women is evident in the response that she has been getting in prominent online journals and the engagement in her social media. 

Nancy makes wellness accessible through her WildKind Health podcast, her free bi-monthly healthy lifestyle webinars, and her low-cost wellness platform, Underhill Life.
Nancy’s call is for women to live the second half of their lives confidently, utilizing the gifts and powerful knowledge they have gained.

Nancy is a mother of two daughters and lives in Rockaway, New Jersey with her husband, the actor James Michael Reilly. When she is not working, she is writing, building, landscaping, drawing, basket-making, and sitting on the stone steps of Underhill looking at the sunrise.

About our guest
Philippa is a proud Northerner, who studied law at university, and she spent most of her career exploring the UK, subconsciously seeking "home". She settled in the beautiful city of Bristol where she now lives with her husband, two teenage sons and Bob the dog.

During her own personal transformation, through healing childhood trauma and learning to love and live for herself, she arrived at her soul mission to guide people to be the truest versions of themselves because she believes that is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

She proudly supports NACOA (the National Association for Children of Alcoholics). Discovering a joy for writing, wild-swimming and even running (slowly) in mid-life has been a fabulous surprise.

Philippa has a podcast (Meeting of Minds) and is a certified coach.  Her memoir, I See, Me, was released on 30th November 2021 and is available in paperback and on kindle at Amazon. To find out more about working with Philippa, click the button below

The Book:
I SEE, ME a memoir by Bristol author - Philippa Robinson 
Release date: 30 November 2021

The premise of the book is :

“In January 2017 when Philippa suddenly lost a lot of the sight in her right eye, what followed wasn’t just the medical process of recovering most of that sight but an unravelling of the previous 47 years of her life to revisit the things she had refused to see. The ensuing transformation has enabled Philippa to have a totally new vision of her present and future and a desire to share it with you in the hope that it can help you see things in a new light too.

This is Philippa’s journey from “less than” to “enough”, from fearful, in pain and angry to open, courageous and alive. “

Do you feel hopeless, frustrated, lost and lonely? You are not alone.

Navigating the road to recovery, healing, and adapting can be lonely, frustrating, and without a lot of clear direction, until now.

Soames shares her own experience from two perspectives: living with a traumatic brain injury herself, and as an experienced licensed holistic health professional. Head of Hope provides anyone affected by TBI, including their families, friends, and caregivers, validation, information, inspiration, useful resources, and hope to help you live your best life, even with a TBI.

A fun conversation with an engaging guest and thought leader!

Today we welcome novelist, Paul Attaway and discuss the series of fictional books that he is building and the journey he is on as an author.

What It Means To Be A Southern Storyteller

On the simplest level, I define myself as a “Southern Storyteller” because my stories are either set in the South and/or involve characters that are born in the South. But there’s more to it than that. Every part of this country possesses its’ own unique charm and beauty as well as its’ own sordidness and ugliness, the South maybe more so. I hope to write stories that depict what Southerners are like and what life is like in the South and do so with compelling characters that may at times embody the good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. But I have hope and so it is my goal that readers, after finishing one of my stories, will put the book down filled with hope as well.

Book: Blood in the Low Country
About the book - Step back in time a bit. The year is 1973, and by all appearances, Monty Atkins has a wonderful life. Along with his wife, Rose, the girl of his dreams he met in college, they are raising two boys, Eli and Walker. Humble but competitive, Monty is slowly but steadily building a profitable and well-respected law practice in beautiful Charleston, SC. His hard work, steeped in a deeply ingrained Protestant work ethic, is paying dividends in the form of a second home on Kiawah Island and membership in the exclusive Wappoo Country Club.

Book: Eli's Redemption
About the book - In Eli’s Redemption, Paul Attaway writes a novel that stands on its own but also picks up where he left off, at the exciting climax of Blood in the Low Country, his debut set in Charleston, S. C. in the 1970s.

Update: Jillian's book is out! 

Perfectly Queer: Facing Big Fears, Living Hard Truths, and Loving Myself Fully Out of the Closet


This humorous, heartwarming memoir follows a wife and mother's journey of self-discovery and acceptance as she comes out as a lesbian in her late 30s.

Jill had a happy, healthy 20-year relationship with her college sweetheart, two wonderful kids, and rescue cat from the Humane Society. They lived in a nice suburban home with a white picket fence and owned a small bar that was rated one of the “Best Mom & Pop” businesses in Tampa Bay. From the outside, everything looked perfect.

This is a story for anyone who is hiding a piece of themselves and wants to know if it’s safe to be revealed. It’s for the parent who must choose between their own happiness and the stability of their family, wondering if prioritizing themselves is selfish. It’s for the person potentially facing a major life upheaval filled with unknowns in the future who is seeking reassurance that everything will work out just fine.

A two part podcast interview with Jillian Abby aka QueerAbby.com - Jill shares her story with us as she helps to humanize the struggle within the LGBTQIA2S Community for recognition, acceptance and equality.

 People can contact me with questions or for bat mitzvah appearances at Jill@JillWritesWords.com. I would love if they’d sign up for my newsletter (that I’ve never sent) at QueerAbby.com.

Jill is launching her own podcast called “In the Q” in July with Dr. Treisha Peterson (Mama phD) where we discuss that messy middle transition space for the LGBTQ+ and those who love them (but maybe don’t always know how to support them).

Update: Jillian's book is out! 

Perfectly Queer: Facing Big Fears, Living Hard Truths, and Loving Myself Fully Out of the Closet

This humorous, heartwarming memoir follows a wife and mother's journey of self-discovery and acceptance as she comes out as a lesbian in her late 30s.

Jill had a happy, healthy 20-year relationship with her college sweetheart, two wonderful kids, and rescue cat from the Humane Society. They lived in a nice suburban home with a white picket fence and owned a small bar that was rated one of the “Best Mom & Pop” businesses in Tampa Bay. From the outside, everything looked perfect.

Perfectly Queer takes the reader on Jillian Abby's poignant and painfully funny rollercoaster of self-discovery as she identifies and eventually accepts herself as a lesbian just before her 40th birthday. Living her new truth means leaving behind a life that, by societal standards, is nearly perfect.

This is a story for anyone who is hiding a piece of themselves and wants to know if it’s safe to be revealed. It’s for the parent who must choose between their own happiness and the stability of their family, wondering if prioritizing themselves is selfish. It’s for the person potentially facing a major life upheaval filled with unknowns in the future who is seeking reassurance that everything will work out just fine. 

A two part podcast interview with Jillian Abby aka QueerAbby.com - Jill shares her story with us as she helps to humanize the struggle within the LGBTQIA2S Community for recognition, acceptance and equality.

 People can contact me with questions or for bat mitzvah appearances at Jill@JillWritesWords.com. I would love if they’d sign up for my newsletter (that I’ve never sent) at QueerAbby.com.

Jill is launching her own podcast called “In the Q” in July with Dr. Treisha Peterson (Mama phD) where we discuss that messy middle transition space for the LGBTQ+ and those who love them (but maybe don’t always know how to support them). 

Jill shares on her site,...

It's hard to love and appreciate things we don't understand. Our minds seek comfort in the familiar, what it knows and is steady... whether that knowledge is good and true or not.

I've found through my own coming out process, heaps of internalized homophobia. That fear came from not knowing. Shame came from what I thought LGBTQ+ meant, instead of what it actually was. Layers of societal conditioning that told me a story of fiction, instead of fact.

But to paraphrase the brilliant Dr. Maya Angelou, "When we know better, we do better."

Enter this space with curiosity, an open mind, and an open heart.
Ask questions and let's learn more.
Together we can build bridges of understanding.

This special two part episode is meaningful for our family - our daughter let us in on her journey and it hasn't been easy.  As parents, Jen and I have grown up with a church background, we have a long-standing Christian heritage and deep beliefs engrained in our thoughts and actions.  In a world that tends to focus on what separates us (a belief, an experience, an expression of who we are) our hope is that this conversation will build a bridge.  True love erases all fear.

In this episode we hang on tight with our thrill seeking, cliff hugging, helicopter rescued, shark swimming guest Kathy White and discuss her book tackling anxiety, depression and how hurt people, hurt people. 

Unleash The Warrior Within

Have you ever been to that place where you don’t know if you care anymore; care about life, care about living?  

I was broken for years.  I didn’t know how to love myself.   I was a people pleaser and as a result , I often took on too much and caused anxiety in my life.  I gave others the responsibility of making me happy.  I had the patience of an angered wasp.  I put everyone else’s needs in front of my own and took no time for myself.

I was successful by other people’s definition of success, based on what they saw as their version of me,  but, I was empty inside I didn’t know how to change. I read books, went to counseling and seminars, but nothing seemed to help me.

I thought this was my lot in life. Depression and anxiety run in my family. I used to come home from school to find my mom on the couch sleeping for hours. I thought it was a normal part of life. I knew no different.

One day I was driving home from work and thought to myself – Is this all that life is? Wake up. Drive to work. Work. Drive Home. Make Dinner. Go to Bed. Repeat. I felt like a robot. I thought to myself that there had to be more in life than this.

I learned to put a shell around my heart and not let people close to me throughout my life. If they don’t get close to me, then I can’t get hurt. Sound familiar?  As I gradually progress through my journey of self-discovery, the shell is breaking into pieces.

Nevertheless, both my daughter and I would fight the battle of our lives, a true test of love and survival. This would all be at the hand of an alcoholic psychopath who took both me and my unborn daughter to death’s door on more than one occasion.

In this episode we hunt down the lion that seeks to devour us, that keeps us from our full potential in life, and as Justin states, anything that keeps him from his Starbucks!  As leaders in life, ministry and teaching, leaders are thought to have conquered all of the things in life that can tear you down and destroy your future.  Don’t fear the things that hunt you - hunt them instead!

Justin debunks the belief that we as leaders are perfectly put together and free from lions. It is when we address, recognize and engage our lions, those things meant to hurt and harm us, it is then that we can live beyond our fear and grow in our relationships with others and gain strength by sharing our story!

Justin Belt was born in Jackson, MS where he was raised by loving parents and instilled the traits of honor, respect, dignity, and love. 

Justin writes about his life and experiences, yet uses personal stories as cautionary tales, or means to inspire and encourage others to be courageous and to believe that life holds good things. As a servant on several pastoral staffs, Justin seeks to lead others into a closer relationship with Christ through his words and songs. His first book, "Slaying the Lion: Hunt what is Hunting You" is one such book.

In this episode we hunt down the lion that seeks to devour us, that keeps us from our full potential in life, and as Justin states, anything that keeps him from his Starbucks!  As leaders in life, ministry and teaching, leaders are thought to have conquered all of the things in life that can tear you down and destroy your future.  Don’t fear the things that hunt you - hunt them instead!

Justin debunks the belief that we as leaders are perfectly put together and free from lions. It is when we address, recognize and engage our lions, those things meant to hurt and harm us, it is then that we can live beyond our fear and grow in our relationships with others and gain strength by sharing our story!

Welcome back to Living The Next Chapter - today we introduce you to the book, Selling With Dignity.  Meet my new Clubhouse friend! Harry Spaight on the Living The Next Chapter Podcast

About Harry

Harry Spaight is a Keynote Speaker, Author, and Coach. Having grown up in a small New England town with old school values, Harry became involved in mission work. To support himself he had a small janitorial/office cleaning business. The mission work is what gave Harry the most joy and purpose. That work led him to spend two years in the Dominican Republic working with the local population to improve upon their life skills and spiritual growth.

Upon returning to the States, Harry transferred his skills, working with people, to sales. With very little business acumen, Harry applied the principles from the Bible as a guide of how to treat people. Those principles that were two thousand years old or more still proved to be practical. It was all about serving others. Harry believed that people would buy from him if he had a servant’s mindset. The principles worked. Harry eventually moved and was leading a team of sales professionals in downtown Washington DC, just a few blocks from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Would the principles work in such a competitive market as Washington DC? The answer is Yes. The principles are indeed timeless.

Welcome back to Living The Next Chapter, the podcast!  We are pleased to introduce you to an author in the making, Tony Saunders!

ABOUT TONY

Two-time Emmy Award winning bassist, composer, producer and son of legendary San Francisco Bay Area keyboardist, Merl Saunders, Tony Saunders’ life has been infused with one musical adventure after another. As an arranger, producer, composer and performer, Saunders has conquered the worlds of jazz, gospel, R&B, pop, rock and world music.

He earned the first of his two Emmys at age 14 for collaborating with his dad on the PBS documentary Soul Is and by 17 was playing with Merl and Jerry Garcia on their collaborative projects. The second was earned for his contribution on the TV show, Digital Journey, on the episode, “China: Their New Digital Economy.”

Though he took one of his first musical lessons on piano from Herbie Hancock, the bass he received from John Fogerty’s brother Tom – and watching recording sessions with famed bassists Anthony Davis and Lee Miles - sparked a lifelong passion for that instrument that now, 50 years later, has led to his emergence as a major independent force in contemporary jazz.

 After launching his career with his dad Merl and Jerry Garcia, Saunders embarked on a diverse career that has found him playing and recording with a virtual who’s who of popular music and jazz.

Talk Triggers is the definitive, practical guide on how to use bold operational differentiators to create customer conversations, written by best-selling authors and marketing experts Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin.

Word of mouth is directly responsible for 19% of all purchases, and influences as much as 90%. Every human on earth relies on word of mouth to make buying decisions. Yet even today, fewer than 1% of companies have an actual strategy for generating these crucial customer conversations. Talk Triggers provides that strategy in a compelling, relevant, timely book that can be put into practice immediately, by any business.

Has anyone ever suggested a show to binge on a streaming channel to you? A must-see movie?  A song to Add To Your Spotify Playlist? When you know, like and trust someone you are more apt to follow through on their recommendation because you both know, like and trust each other!  It happens every day - and it should - if you have a business, if you are an artist, musician or creator of anything really - you want people to talk about you and what you do, even when you are not in the room!  What you do and who you are should trigger talk, conversation and interest - commercials are always looking to sell us on something - the words of a friend have power!

Are you an author or publisher? No matter where you are on your literary journey we would love to help share your passion with our audience!
