I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why is professional wrestling more popular today?  Or is it?  Plus…what’s keeping those wrestling fan numbers at the top of their game?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

The FCC regulates American radio and television. We see how its currently leadership is locked in on bullying anyone willing to share sips and samples of free speech. Podcasting is still seen as a wild frontier but is it really that free? When will the government urge rules to be written to silence the podcasters?

Lost with You, starring Disney Channel regular, Jake Short and star of All American, Madison Shamoun. The film is about two people of opposing viewpoints finding one another despite having differing opinions on almost everything. I think given the crazy times we're living in, this is a vibe that audiences are looking for. The film won Best Indie Film at the Los Angeles Film Awards late last year and just got a ridiculously rave review from Film Threat.
Written and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Mike Southerly, the film was accomplishment in true guerilla filmmaker style without pulling a single permit despite filming at the Griffith Observatory, the Santa Monica Pier, and the Hollywood sign, among other iconic Los Angeles locales. It's a pretty great story how he was able to get this one into the end zone for under $200K.

Sometime around 4:20 a.m. on a cold, foggy Sunday morning in mid-November of 2022, four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered at a house they shared in Moscow, Idaho. The case instantly captured national attention, including round-the-clock coverage by international media who descended on the small college town to report on its first murder in years. After a intensive investigation involving local, state and federal agencies, Bryan Kohberger was charged and eventually pled guilty to the crimes, avoiding a trial, and denying the community answers to important questions:. What were his motives?. Where are the weapons?. How did a lone assailant with no known connection to the victims enter the house in the middle of the night, viciously murder four people in less than ten minutes and escape, barely leaving a trace?. Why were two residents spared?. Why did a witness who saw the masked assailant wait eight hours before calling 911?In this can't-put-it-down page-turner, former FBI agent, journalist and bestselling author Christopher Whitcomb re-opens the case. Based on information provided by defense and prosecution sources, he scrutinizes tens of thousands of previously undisclosed files, including police reports, photographs, body-camera video, laboratory reports, autopsy findings, forensic and DNA analyses, unpublished interviews, surveillance logs and expert findings. In lieu of theories and conjecture, Whitcomb discovers shocking evidence-based revelations. Though Whitcomb does not challenge the veracity of Kohberger's plea, he does present troubling flaws in the case, including questions about how one man could possibly have committed these crimes alone.Looking at the three pillars of the prosecution's case, he discovers significant flaws in DNA analysis, including court documents that indicate police never actually matched Kohberger to the KA-BAR knife sheath found at the scene. Whitcomb also documents vexing contradictions in how police identified a white sedan, how investigators tied Kohberger's phone to the scene. He relies on the prosecution's own expert to show that large areas of the house were cleaned up and altered after the fact. With an engaging writing style that grabs readers by their lapels, Whitcomb raises important questions about how police handled crime scene analysis, evidence retention, alternate suspects, and contradictory witness statements.In the end, he clearly demonstrates that this case is not what we have been led to believe. "I wrote this book because I believe the American system of justice is the best in the world, but that doesn't mean it is perfect," Whitcomb said. "Cops err, technologies fail, and witnesses falter. And yes, guilt may be the domain of lawyers and courts, but if we as a society truly believe in its foundations, we should be willing to ask hard questions; look deeper. None of us knows what happened in Moscow that horrific night in November, but it is my hope that this book will be a first step toward understanding."

In her acclaimed series of mysteries set in and around Glacier National Park, Christine Carbo explored the perilous intersection between humans and the natural world. In her new standalone thriller, THE CONFESSION ARTIST (Thomas & Mercer; May 5, 2026; $16.99 Paperback), Carbo shifts her focus from the remote Montana wilderness to a vast and virtually inescapable landscape rife with threats from anonymous monsters: the digital world.     It began with a pencil sketch of a middle-aged, bearded man. Someone unknown had posted it on several untraceable accounts across social media. Below the photo, in yellow block text, all caps, was a command: CONFESS, OR DIE. YOU HAVE SIX DAYS. At first, few people paid attention. About a week later, a reporter who had been intrigued by the random posts wrote that a man resembling the sketch had been fatally shot just outside of Seattle. Police denied a connection, but the accounts generated a ton of new followers. A month later, a second sketch, paired with the same chilling demand, was posted. It went viral. This time, the sketch was of a woman. By the end of that week, a female mirroring the drawing was found murdered in Santa Monica, California. When the third sketch—another male—dropped, it got global attention. Law enforcement agencies across the US, especially in the West, went on high alert. But after six days passed, no one turned up dead. Had the man fessed up and been spared?        A first-year PI in the Flathead Valley, Crosbie Mitchell yearns for something more exciting than tracking down cheating spouses. Still, she has little interest in all the buzz surrounding the killer dubbed “The Confession Artist.” Boredom aside, she doesn’t regret her decision to quit the force. Being the lone woman cop in her precinct was tough even before her coworkers saw her as toxic for reporting sexual harassment. And after Jess, her sister and only family, was raped, she needed to be there for her. The real reason, however, is something Crosbie can barely think about without feeling… slimy, or worse. Yes, Crosbie has skeletons shoved deep in her closet. Yet, she’s knocked for a loop when a fourth sketch goes viral and Jess gasps in horror: “It’s you.” Brushing it off, Crosbie insists:  “I’m a nobody from Montana.” Then, her ex-boyfriend calls with a significant detail: the woman in the sketch is wearing the same dangling earrings, in the shape of a feather with a round stone in the center, as the handcrafted pair he gave her. You have six days to confess or die. Crosbie’s heart pounds at the thought. What should she confess first?
Keeping the tension building, THE CONFESSION ARTIST follows Crosbie as she digs into the identity of the online killer and evades a stalker. Before the sketch made her a public figure of wild speculation, Crosbie had been hired to investigate the suspicious death of a Native American journalist about to expose the shady and environmentally destructive practices of a local oil and natural gas company. Could Crosbie be the target of a copycat vendetta launched by Ridgefield’s filthy rich and unscrupulous owner? Or maybe that charming reporter who popped up out of nowhere to interview her is really a serial killer? Oh, and Crosbie can’t shake the hunch that both her ex-boyfriend and her sister know more than they’re telling her.

On a storm-lashed night in May 1832, the American whaleship Mentor struck a reef near the Palau Islands, splintering its crew and setting off a chain of events that would unfold over years and across multiple Pacific islands. As Dolin vividly reconstructs, the wreck shattered not only the ship, but the rigid hierarchies of life at sea: authority collapsed, loyalties fractured, and survival demanded impossible choices. Some men fled into the darkness. Others clung to the wreckage, unsure whether rescue or death awaited them.Drawing on extensive archival research, sailors’ journals, Indigenous accounts, and oral histories, The Wreck of the Mentor becomes far more than a shipwreck tale. It is a sweeping narrative of cross-cultural encounter, moral ambiguity, and the long aftershocks of first contact reverberations that ultimately reached back to the United States through diplomatic crises, violence, and debates over justice and responsibility.Eric Jay Dolin is the author of seventeen acclaimed books on nautical and maritime history, including Leviathan, Black Flags, Blue Waters, Rebels at Sea, and A Furious Sky. His work has won many of the field’s top honors, including the John Lyman Award for U.S. Maritime History and the Samuel Eliot Morison Book Award for Naval Literature, and has been named a “must read” by the Massachusetts Center for the Book. Dolin lives in Marblehead, Massachusetts, and is known for bringing complex maritime history to life with narrative drive, clarity, and dramatic tension.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell finally tells the story that rivals all of the works that precede it: her own Patricia Cornwell is best known for her international bestselling thriller series about forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now an Amazon Prime series adaptation starring Nicole Kidman as Kay Scarpetta and Jamie Lee Curtis as her sister, Dorothy. Every story comes from somewhere, and Scarpetta’s began when Patricia Cornwell embedded herself in a morgue. In this achingly honest memoir, Cornwell excavates her own life, detailing her traumatic childhood being raised by neglectful parents, her father abandoning the young family on Christmas day, her mother being institutionalized twice, an abusive foster family, and developing a parental relationship with evangelist Billy Graham’s wife Ruth. Cornwell depicts a harrowing hospitalization and near-death car accident. She unflinchingly shares overcoming obstacles that later gave her the ambition to become an award-winning police reporter. From there it was research in a medical examiner’s office that would turn into a full-time job. She would become a forensic expert and worldwide publishing phenomenon.  Cornwell leaves no stone unturned in this deeply candid account of her life, offering inspiring insight into what made her into the international sensation she is today.
