On today’s show, I’m talking to Erinn Keala author of

I Promise to be better.

A traveler, nutrition, and fitness coach, marketer, travel blogger as well a being an author, we talk about how she found time to write her book.

I Promise to Be Better is based on true events. A story that takes a dark turn, and not for the faint-hearted.

Reviewers have called her book a visceral, powerful, deeply meaningful, touching portrait of toxic love.

This is the author of I Promise to be Better Erinn Keala.

On today’s show, I had the pleasure of speaking to Shreya Gupta, senior book cover designer at Macmillan.

We talked about her background, her move from India to the United States, and how she managed to land a job at one of the 5 big publishing houses.

Her talent and passion for illustration and cover design were obvious, which is why, along with working for Macmillan, she’s worked for Google, Penguin Random House, Fast Company, and Vox, among many others.

As authors, we know our cover designs are our strongest marketing tool, and when we talked about how she designs them, I had a real aha moment.

This is Award-Winning illustrator and Cover Designer Shreya Gupta.

It's not very often that I get an opportunity to speak to a non-fiction author, but when I had the chance to talk to D M Batten, I jumped at the chance

Her autobiography is particularly significant as it explores open-mindedness, and non-traditional love, and caters to various niches such as coming-of-age, LGBTQIA+, twin flames, spiritualists, and those who dedicate themselves to serving God, regardless of their background or the trials they encounter in life.

As a college Professor and a PhD Candidate, Dolores has triumphed over seemingly insurmountable obstacles and been blessed with the ability to empathize with people from all walks of life, embracing diversity. "I have learned how to apply my knowledge by experiencing life firsthand, rather than merely preaching about it. With a personal objective to align my perspective with a higher power, I am confident that this book accomplishes that goal, gradually guiding readers through the many challenges life presents and offering insights on viewing them through the lens of unconditional love."

This is the wonderful D. M. Battern

On today's show, I had the pleasure of speaking to young adult Sci-Fi author Tommy-Lee Sexton.

A Pastor with a fascination for superheroes and Science fiction one of the things I asked him about was if there wasn’t a conflict between his beliefs and writing Sci-Fi, he gave a great answer and talked about the message in his fantastic books.

On today’s podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking to Alan Shivers author of YA slasher horror.

Having read some of Europea Halls trilogy, his books certainly live up to his name. If you’re a fan of 90’s slasher movies then you’ll love his books.

This is the chilling, and not so chilling, Alan Shivers.

On today's show, I’m talking to Dan Hoskins author of The Council of Athyzia, Book 1 of the Athyziad series.

The maps and illustrations in the book are fantastic, and as Dan says he probably spends too much time thinking about maps of places that don’t exist. But they certainly add to his stories.
