We're starting the New Year off write (see what I did there?) with some tips, and tricks to survive being an Indie Author. Fan-favorite, Brittany Leonard, is back and is ready to fill you in on everything she's been busy with since we last had her on.

The graphic novel she’s working on and hoping to release by 2022, “Element”, revolves around this idea of 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.

Get your Ouija boards ready and make sure to have the ghost busters on speed dial just in case, 'cause I'm joined this week by a powerhouse in Supernatural/Paranormal Fiction--Paul Williams. He is an artist, a fellow interview host, and the young, yet prolific, author of "Shadow of Hades", "Isanan's Web", and many others soon to follow.

Paul is a true artist, his thoughts on what makes the human mind/heart tick is fascinatingly unique and its the backbone of his writing, which if you ask me, is what makes his characters/world all the more rich. Writer of the paranormal, Paul is a student of Poe and it shows. The scenes and stories he weaves have a tone that would make any lover of the genre feel right at home.

We spoke about many things during our chat, but the things that stuck out to me was Paul's desire to expand his talent in the writing craft. While his home is in Supernatural/ Paranormal Fiction, he is growing to be a multi-genre writer in all aspects--his next book will reflect this new inspiration that's come over him and I personally can't wait to pick up a copy!

You can buy a copy of "Shadow of Hades" or "Isanan's Web" from his Amazon Author Page (Paul Carver Williams). Make sure to follow him and leave a review if you're so inclined.

We're kicking off another week with a now dear friend to the podcast, who just so happens to also be the third member of the Friesen Brothers, Lucien Telford! He's back and he's not pulling any punches! Last time we spoke we were both in the early stages of releasing our debut books, since then lots of challenges have come and gone but it's only made me stronger than ever--if you want to find out how/why/what, make sure to listen to this baby in it's entirety, it's a very fun episode.

Mr. Telford is honestly one of the guests I've had with the most interesting background. Being a professional pilot for so many years of his life (as well as spending a fair chunk of his life abroad in Hong Kong as a native-born Canadian) have given Lucien such an interesting blend of wisdom and experiences. It shows in the very essence of his book, The Sequence, which judging alone by his synopsis of it should give a lot of us self-published authors a run for our money.

The Sequence is coming soon, so make sure to follow Lucien's journey through his social media pages and website:

This week we welcome another fresh face to the A.R.T. family, Nate McWilliams! Mr. McWilliams is the "Baldy" in "Baldy and The Fatman Productions" and they've recently produced (as well as directed, wrote, AND acted in) their first film together. They've even had the pleasure of screening their film at a local theater to friends/family and ended up selling the place out! Senor Baldy here, and his partner in crime, Fatman, are a talented pair to look out for.

I feel like my jaw was dropped for 80% of this conversation, the work Nate has done to make his vision a reality is nothing short of awe-inspiring. As any fan of the podcast/channel can tell you, I'm a huge film buff, and as any film buff can tell you, we all aspire to make a film one day. Nate took that pipe dream and manifested it into a film he can be proud of, and it's quite funny too!

For more of Nate, check out his social media links below and show him some love - he definetly deserves some! Don't forget, his film "Thief Among Us" is out NOW and available on YouTube for anyone to watch for the low-low price of FREE FIFTY! Do me a favor and check it out, it's well worth the watch.

This week we talk to the co-author duo - JT Blakely - author of NRDS (National Recently Deceased Services) about writing a Kindle Vella Serial, the future of writing stories, and how to effectively write comedy!

When JT takes off his long trench coat and sunglasses (revealing that he is in fact two grown men with one on the other's shoulders), I have a great conversation with the men behind the man - Jeff Elkins & JP Rindfleisch! These two are truly hilarious, beside the invaluable views they have on proper writing techniques, this conversation was genuinely a blast to record. Witty, silly, everything you could want in a writer pair if you ask me. As a co-author unit they fill in the gaps the other lacks like a perfect ying and yang, but don't be fooled, indivudally these two are powerhouses in their own right.

For more of these two, visit their Amazon Kindle Vella author page and/or visit their social media feed for the latest to come from this dynamic duo. Make sure to also check out their podcast, it's a great listen!
