SHOW NOTES: In this special launch-day episode of Your Book Is In There, host Inger E. Johnson pauses to reflect on the journey from "Can I really do this?" to "Look what I did."

Yesterday marked the official release of her debut novel, Veiled Halos: A Saga of Betrayal and Redemption, and today she's taking a moment to look back at everything it took to get here — the countless rounds of edits, navigating the publishing world's terminology and platforms, debating ISBN strategy with a 20-year industry veteran (and being right), building a website from scratch, and launching this very podcast after a $60,000 marketing proposal sent her in an unexpected direction.

Drawing on the Japanese art of Kyudo, Inger explores how hitting the target is only part of the journey — the archer's growth matters just as much. Whether you're drafting your first chapter or staring down a messy second draft, this episode is your reminder that the distance between doubt and accomplishment is often shorter than it feels.

Talking Points:

• The official launch of Veiled Halos: A Saga of Betrayal and Redemption

• Reflecting on the journey from writing the first drafts to becoming a published author

• The many rounds of editing and learning to trust the finished story

• Navigating the publishing process and learning about ISBNs, distribution, pricing, and metadata

• Gaining confidence in making publishing decisions

• Building connections with other authors and advance readers

• Creating an author website and learning new skills along the way

• The challenges of marketing a book and how Your Book Is In There became part of that journey

• The Kyudo philosophy and the idea that the journey matters as much as reaching the target

• Taking time to recognize and celebrate how far you've come

• Encouragement for aspiring authors who are still asking, "Can I really do this?"

Wet Bulb Globe Temperature... What and Why Season 7 Episode 1

Host: Chris Doelle Co-Host: Brian Polk (COO Texas High School Coaches Association) Guest: Ray Zepeda - UIL Athletic Director Dr. Keeli Hanzelka - Dell Children's Hospital

EPISODE SUMMARY: The UIL's WBGT mandate is now in effect for the 2026-27 school year after two years as a recommendation. Ray Zepeda and Dr. Keeli Hanzelka break down what wet bulb globe temperature actually measures, why it matters more than air temperature alone, and how Texas coaches can use it as a practical tool rather than viewing it as another restriction. Texas is roughly the 23rd state to mandate WBGT protocols.

Key Takeaways: • What WBGT actually is: Three temperatures in one measurement (air temp at 10%, natural wet bulb at 70%, black globe) that accounts for humidity, wind, and direct sunlight to predict heat stress on the body. • Military origins: Developed in the 1950s for military training, where it significantly reduced heat illness and death among cadets. • Why mandate over recommendation: Schools following the voluntary guidelines felt penalized by inconsistent adoption. UIL consulted with Georgia, Florida, and other state associations before moving to a requirement. • Practices vs. competitions: The mandate applies to practices, not contests, because the data shows almost every serious heat incident in Texas over 20 years occurred during practice. • Competitive equity and facilities: Indoor facilities do create advantages, but student safety outranks competitive equity. UIL heard from stakeholders that some communities wouldn't invest in heat mitigation until a mandate forced the issue. • Coaching adjustments: Top programs are adapting creatively with earlier/later practice times, position-specific conditioning, and alternative practice locations (one team used a covered rodeo arena).

Key quotes • "It's hotter today than it was back then. That's just a verifiable fact. We are more educated than we were at that time. It would be really silly if we aren't using everything that has been learned in order to keep kids safe and maximize their performance." : Ray Zepeda • "A dry tank overheats faster. Studies show that kids drink 50% more fluids if those fluids are cool as opposed to room temperature or warm." : Dr. Keeli Hanzelka
