The way mother nature toys with our imagination.  Starting first with weather.  A Cold December day that looks, feels and smells like snow.  It didn't.  But in less than 30 days ice storms and 11 inches of snow pummeled this collection of trees.

William Morrow is thrilled to publish RETRIBUTION: A US Marine's Fight for Justice, from the Russian Gulag to Ukraine's Front Lines by Trevor Reed on January 27, 2026. As the war in Ukraine remains complicated, Reed shares his firsthand perspective on the conflict, along with an unprecedented, first person account of life in the Russian gulag.In August 2019, Trevor Reed, a former US Marine and Presidential Guard, was arrested in Russia on false, trumped-up charges. For three years, he was imprisoned in the infamous Russian gulag, where the inhumane treatment threatened his health so severely his parents and the U.S. government feared for his life. After losing roughly fifty pounds from his already trim body, he was released in a 2022 prisoner swap that dominated headlines. Most people would go home, try to move on with their lives, and forget the horrors they endured. But not Trevor Reed.Reed trained relentlessly to regain his health and strength, aiming to volunteer in Ukraine to fight the Russians and seek revenge. Having faced Russian cruelty up close, he knew what the Ukrainians were experiencing, and he knew he could help them. Just six months after being released from prison, Reed smuggled himself into Ukraine. He fought in one of the hottest fronts of the war . . . until one dark night a comrade stepped on a land mine. Reed almost lost his leg and his life, barely making it home to Texas alive.

Shock rock band Caster Volor releases their new album, entitled Paracosm, via Pavement Entertainment. Paracosm is a raw, unapologetic plunge into the chaos of modern life, filtered through the fire of heavy rock theatrics. This album is a world of fantasy, defiance, and takeover—a soundtrack for misfits, rebels, and believers who know rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay.

Paracosm features six tracks with a dynamic range. From the excess-drenched swagger of “Hard R” to the defiant rebellion of “Wear The Black Hat,” the unbreakable spirit of “At Least We Still Got Our Rock N Roll,” and the vulnerable confessions of “I Can’t Cry (So I Stand In The Rain),” Caster Volor blends power, satire, rage, and heart into one explosive package. “Bewitch My Body & Soul” offers themes of haunting devotion and “Black Leather Middle Finger” challenges conformity.

Come see Caster Volor perform live at the Halloween Bash on Friday, October 31st, at D’s Barn in Bristol, WI. This free show begins at 8 PM. The band also has a show on November 6th, where they will open for Scotty Austin (former vocalist of Saving Abel) at the Granada Theater in Minneapolis, MN. 

Caster Volor’s album release party for Paracosm will be on November 22nd at Studio B at the Skyway Theatre in Minneapolis, MN. Doors open at 6 PM with advanced tickets priced at $12 and tickets at the door at $18.

Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Caster Volor is a shock rock force that delivers a ferocious blend of hard rock and heavy metal wrapped in a theatrical spectacle unlike anything else on the touring circuit today. Known for their over-the-top, vaudevillian-inspired performances, the band fuses gritty, anthemic music with an immersive stage experience—turning every show into a raw, high-energy event that leaves audiences breathless. 

Musically, Caster Volor draws influence from the giants of hard rock and metal—both classic and modern. Their original material reflects the raw energy of bands like Motley Crue, Judas Priest, and W.A.S.P., while also channeling the darker industrial vibes of Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, and Rammstein. Their sound is thunderous, infectious, and tailor-made for the stage. In addition to their original work, Caster Volor has gained attention for their powerful covers of rock and metal hits spanning multiple decades. Their setlists may include everything from KISS, Billy Idol, and AC/DC, to more unexpected twists like LMFAO, and even Enrique Iglesias—all reimagined through the band’s hard-hitting, theatrical lens.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why does it feel like modern day cults are seeking new false Gods?  Plus…when cults let you inside with their best weapons of choice… supporting you.    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…

Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.  Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers.Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to locate a destination…
  This week we’re putting focus on my missed opportunity with motivational speaker and author Adam Smiley Poswolsky, Missed Opportunity.  A lost piece of history.  You know the questions.  Let’s locate the reactions.  The door is always open.  If you are or know Adam Smiley Poswolsky reach out to me at [email protected] that’s [email protected] Be brilliant!

Psalms 128:  Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord.  This is very much worth digging into.  It calls for a modern day defition of what fear is and more importantly who and what is a Lord?  Not a religous show!  This is authentic talk that even stumps Alexa.  What do you expect?  I'm a professional interviewer!!!!

John Stewart Hill, founder of The Good Contractors List, but more importantly, I’m a man who had completely given up on life — until God stepped in.In 2011, I was broke, hopeless, and praying for God to end my life. During one of the worst freezes in Dallas–Fort Worth history, I suffered a massive heart attack. As I was being wheeled into ICU, I heard a clear voice ask, “Well, John, do you want to stay or go?” That moment changed everything. I told God, “I’ll stay, but I don’t want to be the same person I’ve been.”From that surrender came three simple requests:I want to be remembered for doing something good.I want to truly live, not just be alive.I want to touch as many lives as possible.Six months later — with no money, no education, no business experience, and now with a damaged heart that left me with Congestive Heart Failure and a pacemaker — I felt led to create something that didn’t exist: a way to separate the good contractors from the bad ones and guarantee every job up to $25,000. That’s how The Good Contractors List was born. Today, it’s backed over $5 billion in projects, helped thousands of homeowners, and built what I now call Collective Authority Marketing — a Kingdom-minded model where ethical business owners unite to raise standards, protect people, and give God the glory through excellence.But my story didn’t end there. In 2022, I received a heart transplant, and I later met my donor’s family. Their last name was Wachal — Bohemian for “Watchman.” The young man whose heart now beats in my chest was Christian Wachal. I literally have the heart of a Christian Watchman, and I don’t think that’s an accident.My mission now is simple: to build Kingdom businesses that become a light in dark industries, restore trust where it’s been broken, and show the world what happens when faith leads the way.
