Key-lee’s back, alright!

That’s right folks, Keylee Hargis returns once again. She’s the massively talented writer behind the Young Adult Fantasy "Royal Bond" & "War Bond", as well as the bestselling “Sacred Scars”. This amazing writer has garnered 30 MILLION reads across her work and has a rabid fan base to boot. Young Adult/ New Adult lovers out there will find a new author to binge on, and fellow authors out there can learn a thing or two about making it in this business (I know I did).

Just like last time, this chat was funny, informative, and raw (don't let the smile fool you, like her characters in Sacred Scars--this woman's an assassin with prose). We talk about her next release, "Sacred Lies" (the sequel to Sacred Scars), and the inspirations she had for making/while making this novel.

For more Keylee, check her out on TikTok and make sure to follow her on socials so you can stay up to date on everything this bestseller is up to--you definitely won't regret it.

The A.R.T. Podcast is getting a face-lift--new banners, new schedule, new look, new everything! To kick the re-branding off we have a very special guest this week, Author Tristin Clark! She's the uber-creative mind behind "A War Amongst The Stars", a Dark Romance Science Fiction Fantasy novel with an unbelievable plot and amazing character work. It is going to be huge, mark my words!

Tristin's novel debuts TODAY (September 28th, 2022), so make sure to pick up your copy and send her some Debut Day love. UPDATE: Amazon has canceled her Pre-Orders (all 1,000+ of them), and is refusing to reinstate them even after correcting the issue. PLEASE send her some love, and support her in anyway you can--even if it's just a quick message on Instagram--this is a devastating thing that can happen to any of us.

For more of Tristin Clark, visit "www.tristinclark.com". There you'll find all her work, a store for current and soon-to-be-released merch/books, links to all her socials, plus much more.

It’s the first episode of September, and we’re kicking it off with a fan-favorite—Brittany Leonard! She’s been hard at work, and is ready to fill you in on everything she's been busy with since we last had her on.

The first chapter of the graphic novel she’s been working on “Element”, has finally been released! Chapter 1 is out now, links to buy below (or just send her a DM on socials, maybe you can even get it signed 👀). FOR EVERY COPY SOLD, SHE WILL PLANT A TREE 🌲! Chapter 2 is being finalized and will be out within the next month or so, definitely keep an eye out for that too!

For those that don’t know, or don’t remember, “Element” revolves around Eco-consciousness and bends it around a fantasy world where each elemental plane (alternate dimensions where respective elements rule) is facing a crisis with pollution! Such a fun and unique idea, plus the passion she shows when she talks about it always puts a huge smile of my face.

Her debut is a kid’s book called “The Life of a Shadow” that not only teaches children how to deal with issues we all face today but also flexes their artistic muscles by featuring an arts & craft section at the end of the book where you can create your own “shadow” at home!

Not only is she creative, Brittany is a person with a purpose. As an anti-pollution advocate, she uses her stories to only entertain but to remind people the dangers of not being Eco-conscious and show us what could happen if we don’t smarten up as a whole. DON’T FORGET: she will plant a tree for every copy sold of “Element”, that way you can save the world as you read a great story (kind of a win-win-win scenario, so make sure to get your copy today).

This week there’s a very special guest in our midst—a fellow Dominican Sci-Writer, Author, and Podcast Host—Nico Pengin! He’s the cohost of two great podcasts, Penpodcast and Argue Bros (links at the bottom, make sure to check em out 👀), the author of Batey a sci-fi sport-centered no akin to Alita: Battle Angel inspired by an ancient Dominican ball game 🤯

From the very first moment we spoke to each other on his podcast (Penpodcast, check out his links below to watch/listen to our episode) I knew we were kin, and not just because we are both proud Dominicans 🇩🇴. His thirst for knowledge, wit, and mutual love of sci-fi made this recording one that I know anyone who loves the genre will have a great time listening to.

For more of Nico’s expansive work, check out the links below and remember to show some love / support via his socials (buying a copy of her book(s), or merch, never hurt either).

This week we have a special guest from across the pond—G.G. London, author of “State of Mind”! A lover of dark and twisted thrill-rides, she now finds herself writing psychological thrillers for a rabid and growing fan base. Her sequel “State of Play” is out now on Amazon and most other places you find books now-a-days. Pick up a copy today

Maybe it’s because I have a weird obsession with British culture (where my die-hard Dr. Who & Misfits fans at 😬). Maybe it’s because I love London and it just so happens to be in our guest’s name. Whatever the reason, G.G. and I had a spectacular chat about anything and everything under the sun. Her inspirations, her motivations, her doubts, her worries, her struggles, we covered it all and even left some room for a couple laughs throughout the recording.

For more of G.G., check out the links below and remember to show some love / support via her socials (buying a copy of her book(s) never hurt either).

It’s the end of our Robin and Joa Saga —the second part of our two week special. For the first time on the podcast—but hopefully not the last—we talk to the two amazing women behind the hit podcast: “Robin and Joa Save The World, One Book At A Time”, Robin and Joa. This week we have ROBIN CASTLE, live and in the flesh!

Robin is a ball of good vibes and amazing energy, a couple seconds within the recording and I was already sporting a Grinch-esque ear to ear smile. She describes herself as “Agatha Christie…if she were 227 years old, on social media, and lived in Ireland”, and I honestly have to agree.

Like Joa, running/hosting a hilarious book-centered podcast isn’t all she has going for, she’s an active author as well. Her book, RELATED BY MURDER is out now (pick up your copy @ Amazon, or follow the links below). As she describes it: “This is a different kind of mystery. Sure, there's a murder (sorry Chester). There's also an exploration of the real impact of domestic violence and poverty. Yet, the story leaves the reader filled with hope. RELATED BY MURDER takes the reader on a journey. Not your everyday mystery, but a tremendously good read anyway. Available at Amazon, Indigo, Barnes and Noble, and all the regular places. Happy Reading!”

For more Robin, join her “JOY AND SUNSHINE NEWSLETTER” @ linktr.ee/robincastle55. To buy one of her books/merch, or listen to one of her podcasts, click the links below and reach out! Say A.R. sent you.

This week’s episode is the first part in a very special two-parter! For the first time on the podcast—but hopefully not the last—we talk to the two amazing women behind the hit podcast: “Robin and Joa Save The World, One Book At A Time”, Robin and Joa (aka Johanny). First up is Johanny Ortega, aka Have a Cup of Johanny (which is the also the name of her new podcast, definitely worth a listen 🎧). She is smart, fun, funny…and I’m not just saying that because she’s a fellow and proud Dominican 🇩🇴!!

Aside from running/hosting two very funny and insightful book-related podcasts, she is also an active author as well. Her middle school novel, “Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring and The Six Months That Changed Everything” is set to release September 20th, 2022 (keep an 👀 out for it); it’s an MG Realistic Fiction for ages 9 and older.

Here’s a blurb from “Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring”:

When questions pop into nine-year-old Isla Delgado's Isla's mind, they mash together like plantains turning into mangú. So when Mami tells her, she has to stay with her dad and new

wife for six months The Curse of the Evil Ring, movie she wasn't supposed to watch but did and memories she's not supposed to remember about her first S-Mom mash together to create the spookiest mangú. To survive her dad's, Isla will have to test two things: is there truth in fiction? And does she have enough courage to let the questions spill and stand up for herself?

She is also currently running a fundraising campaign for something that I’m actually very invested in. “Quislaona: A Dominican Fantasy Anthology” is an amazing blend of culture, creativity, art, and literature. It’s set to be a collection of short stories and comics—all revolving around Dominican Republic, her history, her lands, and her peoples. PLEASE give the support page a look, and say that A.R. sent you if you end up donating.

To support “Quislaona”, buy one of her books/merch, or listen to one of her podcasts, click the links below and reach out! Say A.R. sent you.

This week we speak with a true Lejeune in the writing community—Martin Lejeune! He’s a NanoWriMo winner, a filmmaker, and half of the Bradley Lejeune coauthor team, who released their Sci Fi epic “The McMurdo Rift” earlier this year.

Here’s the blurb from “The McMurdo Rift”:

“One ex-wife. A missing husband. A mysterious alien race.

Earth created a grand and far-spanning empire. It rebelled.

What should have been an easy victory became swift defeat when the alien Koru allied themselves with the breakaway colonies and an attack on Earth by a powerful ship almost brought the homeworld to utter ruin.

On that day, Mark Franklin saved the world, but at a terrible cost. That was ten years ago and now he lives a peaceful life running the bar on an aging starliner in the back of beyond. But his peace is about to be shattered.

Can he help his ex-wife find her missing husband, and what are the mysterious Koru after in the heart of The McMurdo Rift??”

Maybe it’s because we both wear glasses, maybe it’s because he’s from the UK, but I vibed with Martin from the start of the recording. He’s witty, smart, and very down to earth which is an award-winning combination if you ask me. Just about every idea he told me about during the recording made my jaw hit the floor. I say this often, but that doesn’t make it any less true, make sure to follow the Bradley Lejeune Amazon Author page and TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS. If you do, diamond rings, sports cars, and lots of money will come into life today. If you don’t, I’ll take what you love!!! (Not really, but do it—please 😬)

Here’s the blurb for Withdrawal, another epic Sci Fi from the Bradley Lejeune: “When the enigmatic but powerful Koru unexpectedly abandon their embassy on Proxima Centauri, Vik—a one-time activist and war hero—and his shadowy friend Copeland attempt to find out if this is a prelude to a war that would prove disastrous for humanity. Their search for answers leads to dangerous discoveries. Will Vik now risk his marriage and comfortable life if it means a chance to finally find out the truth?”

We’re back with another great episode this week, our guest today is someone that I immediately clicked with and I think it’s very apparent through the recording. The multi-talented TJ Decena blesses us with a quick chat this week about positivity, the comedy/erotica genre, modern dating (Tinder, Bumble, etc.), and somehow John Cena! His first book, MATCHED, UNMATCHED is out now and he has many other projects to keep an eye out for so make sure you give his socials a look!

TJ is unbelievably funny, humble, and motivated in his crafts. He acts, writes books, poetry, AND screenplays—there’s no limitations to this man’s focus and imagination. For more of TJ, check out the links below (it’s impossible for me to cover everything he’s doing/done, honestly CHECK OUT HIS SOCIALS).
