When my mother transitioned, she took every memory with her. She wrote nothing down. Even worse, she never spoke of her younger chapters. I'm the exact opposite. I've been a daily writer since July 1994. The things our parents did that they never shared with us. I believe my mother had a love affair and I came from it. She always dodged the questions, and I'm not interested in a DNA background check. Mom's probably right to keep things like this away from the future.

When the beloved family golden retriever becomes human, a girl’s relationships with her family and herself transform in ways she never thought possible in this heartwarming and funny young adult novel.
Science-obsessed, teen-genius Emma Branch is used to being the odd one out—in her family, among her classmates, and in her small town that only ever seems to care about football. She doesn’t mind being all alone; in fact, she prefers it. Besides, who needs friends when she has a best friend already—her golden retriever, Hudson.
But when Hudson gets into an accident, Emma can’t bear to lose her only friend. Luckily, she’s been working on an experimental substance for her school science project that could help him out. All it was supposed to do was heal Hudson, not…turn him human?!
Emma, her family, and the whole town is about to learn just how a golden retriever can change hearts and minds for the better—that is, after causing a big, old mess first.

LION is an emotional, real-life drama that chronicles the remarkable four-year journey of a tiny lion cub named Kio to become a king. Filmed in Kenya's Masai Mara, this is the first natural history production to document a lion's complete journey from vulnerable cub to king. The crew, including local Kenyan filmmakers, logged nearly 1,400 filming days across 52 shoots — the most time ever spent in the field exclusively following a single pride.LION is executive produced by Disney Legend and “The Lion King” live-action director Jon Favreau and BBC Studios Natural History Unit’s Creative director Mike Gunton (“Planet Earth II,” “Dynasties”), with the score led by legendary Academy Award®-winning composer Hans Zimmer (“Dune” parts one and two, “Interstellar,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Inception”). With narration by O.J. Lynch (Mufasa, “The Lion King” stage production), LION brings to life the extraordinary true story of the Masai Mara's lion kings, queens and a new hero named Kio. Blending Jon Favreau's distinctive storytelling and passion with Gunton’s world-class natural history expertise, the ambitious series goes beyond traditional wildlife documentaries to deliver a gripping, blockbuster drama rooted in documentary truth.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   Do we really have to pee in the middle of the night or is it our body clock checking in?  Plus…what’s the absolute best way to keep your cool?   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…

We kinda did this to ourselves. The internet changed the way listeners tap into your art. Zoom made making conversation clearer and more available. But we are the generation of digital hookup and silent endings. How should we react with technology isn't acting like a true friend and collaborator?
