Innovator, scholar, critically acclaimed author: all words that can be used to describe the mysterious and enigmatic Dr. Jason Carson. Developing a fascination with the human anatomy at an early age, Dr. Carson spent his formative years learning everything he could about the inner-workings of flesh before finally discovering his true calling in life: the systematic dissection of the human mind. After obtaining his PhD in human psychology, Dr. Carson traveled the United States, meeting as many new and interesting people as he could. Whether it was on the airplane, in a seedy back alley, or even in the stall of a restroom, Dr. Carson made sure to leave his distinctive mark on everyone he came across, peeling away their problems one by one until there was nothing left to hurt them. Now back in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Carson continues his noble pursuits to this day, running his own mental health treatment center, the Hands Off Clinic, as well as touring and giving lectures about his greatest work to date, the universally lauded Separating You: A Self-Help Book for the Lost, Lonely, and Psychotically Obsessed.

Amazon's #1 best-selling author and host of Writing Wrongs Radio, William Myers Jr. welcomes award-winning author Hilary Davidson to the studio to discuss her latest book DON'T LOOK DOWN.

About Hilary: Hilary’s debut novel won the 2011 Anthony Award for Best First Novel, and the Crimespree Award for Best First Novel. It also launched the Lily Moore series that continued with The Next One to Fall and Evil in All Its Disguises. Hilary’s first standalone thriller, Blood Always Tells.. Her last novel is One Small Sacrifice, the bestselling first book in the Shadows of New York series, and DON'T LOOK DOWN has just released.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Jo Greaver is a model of success. Young and ambitious, she’s built a thriving beauty business from nothing. But she has secrets she’ll do anything to keep buried. When her blackmailer offers to meet, Jo expects to pay him off—but gets a bullet instead. Bleeding and in shock, Jo flees with no one to turn to.

When NYPD detective Sheryn Sterling and her partner, Rafael Mendoza, find Andray Baxter murdered in his own home—shot through the heart—everything points to Jo as the killer. Her blood is at the scene, and so are disturbing photos of her taken as a young teen. But Sheryn has doubts. Was the kindhearted Andray really a criminal? Why did he repeatedly report finding spyware in his apartment? Was there something shady about Jo’s sister dying a year earlier?

Something’s not right, and it’s up to Sheryn to piece together the sinister puzzle, no matter the cost.

The auction of Shady Pines, a creepy reportedly haunted old motel on the outskirts of town, causes an influx of real estate investors from near and far—some nice, some nasty, and all with plans for the property. As the tempers begin to flare, Lilly and her good friend, Bree Milford who owns the local B&B, visit Shady Pines to check out the potential new competition. But instead of answers, they discover the lifeless body of one of the most vocal (and irritating) investors. The police move in record time to point fingers, which leaves Lilly, Bree, and a former foe all in the middle of a dark and stormy recipe for danger. Can Lilly catch a killer, or will this haunted hotel claim another victim?

Start by Believing reveals the win-at-all-costs culture in elite athletics and higher education that enabled a quarter century of heinous crimes. For decades, osteopathic physician Larry Nassar was the go-to doctor for America's Olympians. Within this high-pressure world of competitive gymnastics, Nassar sexually assaulted and exploited hundreds of young girls under the guise of medical treatment.

In Start by Believing, John Barr and Dan Murphy investigate the largest sex abuse scandal to impact the sporting world. Through never-before-released interviews and documents they deconstruct the epic institutional failures and individuals who enabled him. When warnings were raised, self-serving leaders chose to protect their organization over the well-being of young people. Barr and Murphy tell the stories of those who fought back against the dysfunction within their sport to claim a far-from-inevitable victory and helped fuel the #MeToo revolution.

Our Lives with Shannon Fisher explores personal, political, and societal perspectives of the American experience. The show delves deeply into the worlds of writers, artists, celebrities, and community leaders and offers listeners food for thought on ways to better themselves and the world around them.
