In February of 2023, Lloyd Devereux Richards went viral on BookTok after his daughter Marguerite posted a series of heartwarming videos that accrued over 49.2 million views. Readers fell for the serene, rural Vermont home where Richards could be found walking their dogs and feeding the neighbor’s sheep as his book, Stone Maidens, skyrocketed out of obscurity to #1 on Amazon.

National media such as the TODAY Show, NPR, Tamron Hall, Fox News, and many more covered the feel-good story of the father/daughter duo, highlighting the humble writer who always put his family first. Stone Maidens was just the beginning of Richards’ writing journey. Now, his sequel novel, Maidens of the Cave, is releasing from HarperCollins and we welcome him to the show.

In this can't-miss interview, we meet Lloyd and his daughter Marguerite, who talk about TikTok as a life-changing app, as well as the craft of writing, and helping other writers along the way.

Welcome to another chilling edition of "Alex's Apparitions" on the Mysterious Goings On podcast.

Tonight, we delve deep into the eerie annals of history with the tale of Georg Carl Tänzler, or as he later fancied himself, "Count Carl von Cosel". Born in Dresden, 1877, this radiology technologist claimed visions from an ancestor revealing his true love—a dark-haired woman. His life took a macabre turn in 1930, in Key West, when he met Elena Milagro de Hoyos, setting the stage for a tale of obsession that blurred the lines between love and madness.

Be sure to follow ⁠Mysterious Goings On⁠ and never miss an episode of Alex's Apparitions, ⁠Silver Screams⁠, and your usual guest interviews!

Get Alex's books, including Pilate's Key and Pilate's Ghost, ⁠here⁠.

Welcome to another edition of Alex's Apparitions, a special Halloween episode of Mysterious Goings On. Your host, Alex Greenwood takes you to sunny Key West and into a legendary story that is as eerie as it is fascinating—a story that intertwines family, folklore, and the inexplicable.

Be warned: there's nothing sunny about the tale of Robert Eugene Otto and his life-sized straw-filled companion, Robert the Doll.

Today, we're plunging into a gripping narrative that's a blend of horse racing lore, courtroom drama, and edge-of-your-seat intrigue. Joining us is the esteemed animal law attorney and the author behind the top-selling book Broken: The Suspicious Death of Alydar and the End of Horse Racing's Golden Age, Fred M. Kray.

He is a former trial lawyer who now specializes in animal law and won the American Bar Association’s coveted Excellence in the Advancement of Animal Law Award in 2016. Whether rescuing a stolen Great Dane with a SWAT team or freeing innocent dogs from death row, it has always been his life’s purpose to give animals a voice. He has lectured on the subject, taught at the law school level, and coauthored an article for American Jurisprudence Proof of Facts.

Kray was introduced to horse racing working at a racetrack in Nebraska while attending law school. He fell in love with a horse named Alydar in Miami, watching him run in the Flamingo Stakes and the Florida Derby. Reintroduced to Alydar’s story when he moved to Gainesville, he spent four years researching, interviewing, and writing about Alydar, which is detailed in Broken: The Suspicious Death of Alydar and the End of Horse Racing's Golden Age.

I just learned we lost Robert Hayes; my sharp-tongued friend since high school, my sharp-eyed editor since 2012, and one of the softest hearts I ever knew.

I invite you to join me for a special remembrance of Robert; it is about the first 9 minutes of this episode, then catch his interview on Mysterious Goings On from 2018, where he talks about his struggles, life behind bars, and the book he wrote to help others avoid prison.

I hope you will listen.
