Based in Nashville, TN, Thomas “TK” Kelly has worked in the print industry for over ten years, gaining experience in design, marketing, and business. As Owner/Operator at Creative Soulz Printing, he specializes in custom printing and branding small businesses. Thomas’s passion for print and design can be traced back to his church roots, where he spent significant time working on various programs for Youth Day, Church Anniversaries, and the College Ministry. He would also often create party invitations, flyers, obituaries, and other projects for himself or friends and family. While designing a youth program for his church in summer 2019, Thomas was looking for someone who could print the programs for a reasonable cost. That’s when the Lord gave Thomas a vision to go into business where he could design and print himself. It was at that point Thomas went to buy his first printer and Creative Soulz Printing was born. As a creative director, he specializes in creativity, individuality, and wanting his clients to stand above the rest.

"I've been into music all my life and have an ear for new raw talent. After attending The Art Institute back in 1995 in Atlanta Georgia for Music Entertainment Management, I learned hands-on-training in audio engineering, broadcasting, and video production to name a few. Back then there was no internet so we took to the streets for promotion or went to radio stations as well. However, after almost 25 years in this business, I have witnessed this industry transition into new technology that makes it easier to produce & promote music." - Larry Luve

Our Season premiere starts with an amazing author, Wayne D. McFarland.  He has written a couple of books one of which will help other authors navigate publishing.  

“You’re An Author? Don’t Get Hustled” tells you how to publish your book without getting hurt, hammered, or fleeced. This book will be invaluable if you've ever wondered about avoiding mistakes writers make, how to publish a book, how to write a book, how to market a book, how to write a bestseller, how to make money writing or if you need an Indie Author guide.

If you are looking for a great read with lots of humorous and real stories 'Tales From the Day' is a great choice with A collection of 19 humorous, moving, and often heart-pounding stories.

Yeah, this is a memoir of sorts, if shark fishing in one’s underwear, roping a bear, getting drunk with your Grandfather, or losing ten grand at the Hollywood Sign is a memoir. The Day Johnny Cash Hit On My Wife is on the roster as well, for the only name drop in all the stories. There’s also a thing about getting shot in Arkansas and a road trip with a monkey. I can’t deny these were life-shaping events, but truth be told they all happened under the heading of “oops.”
