Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

Welcome back to the studio.  This is My Day of Play, where you’re taken into the real events and actions of how it happens long before the process of editing or cleaning up.  The original purpose of these episodes was to give my broadcasting students something to edit, to practice with and to call their own.  Then I realized that you are just as important.  Share the reality of how it really went.  We begin things with Mafia expert RJ Rogers who in 2025 amped up the world with the book The Don: 36 Rules Of Bosses. Then we’re going to spend some valuable time with yet another Mafia author Michael Cannell the creator of Blood and the Badge. And we’ll wrap things up with film editor and writer Lisa Cheek who was invited to China to piece together the production of Sit Cinderella Sit. This is My Day of Play.  Completely unedited in the way of meeting the wizard behind the curtain.

Join Chet the dog, “the most lovable narrator in all of fiction” (Boston Globe), and his human partner Bernie as they scramble to solve a case exposing the dark side of internet fame.
Chet the dog is less than enthusiastic about the Little Detective Agency’s next case. Chet and his human partner, PI Bernie Little, have been hired to find a missing person—only the missing person is a cat. Miss Kitty, an internet sensation, has disappeared, and Chet and Bernie have been hired to find her before her many followers realize something is wrong.
Miss Kitty belongs to Bitty, a sweet teenage girl who lives with her mom. Bitty and her mother are struggling financially, but the arrival of Miss Kitty and the chance discovery of her social media appeal has changed everything. Bitty now has sponsors, a high-powered agent, and all the tools needed to thrive online, and real money is flowing in. At least, it was. With Miss Kitty gone, the family’s income is on the line.
The case presents a slew of challenges for Chet and Bernie. For one thing, a potential witness is a pig named Senor Piggy who may be in possession of an important piece of evidence. For another, it seems like a possible perp has been killed twice—and there’s evidence implicating Bernie in the crime.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   When someone says you look like your mother, why do some people turn that into a negative?  Plus…so what happens the comparison to your mom take place because of you or something in your past?   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 Book of Reservations is the second installment of The Ghost Table trilogy. It picks up one year after The Coat Check Girl ends. It is autumn 2000 and Miss Sylvie’s Bistrot in Greenwich Village, New York is struggling to survive. Growing pains, an unreliable clientele, and the threat of a hotshot real estate developer loom large. Josie Gray, co-owner, is confident things will turn around, while her much more pragmatic partner thinks she’s being unrealistic. She’s not. Josie has the benefit of friends on the “other side” of the veil who make her feel like everything’s going to be all right. Unfortunately, those same friends drive a wedge further in her relationship with her partner, who wants nothing to do with the spirit world. This would be okay were it not for the fact the spirit world is trying desperately to reach him, and Josie is their only conduit.                                                                                             For more info: https://www.laurabuchwald.com/https://www.instagram.com/laurabuchwaldauthor/
