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 Tommy Shoemake who originally formed Katfish as an acoustic duo that performs a variety of Outlaw Country, Southern Rock, contemporary and classic Pop and Rock hits. And we’ll wrap things up with motivator Karen Lee Cohen author of the book Lets Be Peace. This is My Day of Play.  Completely unedited in the way of meeting the wizard behind the curtain.

From #1 Amazon bestselling author & USA Today bestseller Nikki St. Crowe comes WEST OF WICKED, an unexpected, sexy & dark reimagining of the classic tale, where Dorothy searches for the truth about her origins in the cursed, dark land of Oz. This inventive, fantastical new romance puts a spicy and creative twist on a beloved story, while adding a yellow-brick-road’s worth of tension, banter & murder. Complete with a mysterious & charming scarecrow and an axe throwing ‘shadow daddy’ tinman, WEST OF WICKED is the perfect new read for fans of Apples Dipped in Gold by Scarlett St. Clair and Neon Gods by Katee Robert. About West of Wicked: Dorothy Gale doesn’t know where she came from. At the age of five, she was dropped on Em and Henry’s doorstep while a terrible storm rolled across the Kansas prairie. Now as an adult, Dorothy has made the most of her life on the farm. But when a cyclone tears through the night, ripping her, her dog, and the farmhouse away, Dorothy wakes to find herself far from home in the strange, cursed land of Oz. Desperate to find her way back, Dorothy takes the advice of the Witch of the North and sets off on the yellow brick road to find a wizard…with a warning to avoid forest monsters, heartless mercenaries, and wicked witches. It isn’t long before Dorothy encounters the dark side of Oz, stumbling on a man beaten and bloody, tied to a pole in a cornfield. Not unlike the scarecrows on the Kansas farm. With no memories, the mysterious stranger joins Dorothy. Rook is ridiculously handsome, endlessly charming, and somehow understands Dorothy in a way no one ever has. But when they cross paths with the infamous Tinman and his axe, Rook proves he may be hiding his own secret. Nothing and no one is what they seem in the cursed land of Oz…maybe even Dorothy herself.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Why are these major news platforms starting to charge money?  Plus…is help really on the way of it just another saying?   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…

Who is the keeper of words? Who is in charge of expressing? We've set our hearts free in the way of developing thoughts and ideas that don't always agree with poems prayers and promises. People are saying anything...and the receiver is left standing there wondering who what where and why? Word play today isn't being governed by discipline. Compassion and understanding will always be met by conflict. Strange times. Weird ways. The value of saying peace ahead of all things. It will be challenged by our multi layered interpretations.

#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.
