    MARK FARRINGTON - "Loss of Life" Debut Novel - Published by Legacy Book Press - Episode 294

    This week on the Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast is a fascinating book by a fascinating author and college educator. The book is a debut novel for our guest author Mark Farrington and is now available wherever books are sold including Amazon. Entitled "Loss of Life" this is a fascinating read for everybody. The book is published by Legacy Book Press. In a Virginia hospital, forty-one-year-old Matthew Winton awakens from a car accident with no memory of his life after the age of thirteen.Over time, he learns that he is a college professor who lives alone and has no family. He is also a writer, and he turns first to his writing, hoping it will show him his past. But he has written primarily fiction, and he struggles to separate the blurred lines between fiction and fact. He is helped by a policewoman who investigated his accident, and a relationship develops. Then he comes upon something he'd written shortly before the crash. This writing disturbs him greatly and leads to a series of events that end with him traveling to Massachusetts, where he spent the first thirty years of his life, in search of ghosts from his past. Throughout, he's been troubled by questions raised by the car accident. What was he doing out on a deserted country road at two o'clock on a Sunday morning? He had no luggage in the car, nor anything that might have given a clue to his intentions. Even the policewoman who investigated seems to have questions about whether the crash was really an accident. As Matthew learns more about his past, he fears that his search might end back on that deserted country road at two a.m."A compelling drama that explores the impacts of trauma in insightful and poignant ways ... At times funny, at other times devastating, Loss of Life explores the trauma of facing your past with great humility and humanity." ~ JESSICA STILLING, author of Betwixt and Between and The Beekeeper's Daughter"A novel of pain and loss, of forgiveness, but also of love found and love remembered ... the story of a man learning to release the unreasonable blame of self he's carried for decades ... you are not likely to forget him." ~ DAVID GIANNINI, author of Stones Are the First to Rise Contact: www.MarkFarrington.net

    GLENN E. WICHINSKY - "Things Left Unsaid: My Dad, the Mob, and Growing Up in the Nevada Gaming Industry" - Author, Gaming & Business Attorney , College Teacher - Episode 291

    This week on Rick Flynn Presents worldwide podcast: Episode 291 In this true story, an unexpected revelation upends a son’s understanding of everything he thought he knew about his father—setting him on a journey of discovery as he attempts to piece together the truth.After Glenn Wichinsky’s parents divorced, his mother took him and his siblings away from their father’s questionable life choices. Glenn grew up in a sheltered South Florida neighborhood, dreaming of becoming a meteorologist. It wasn’t until he was thirteen, on a visit to Las Vegas to see the father he barely knew, that Glenn’s eyes opened to a wider world. A far cry from his life in Florida, the trips he made to the Sands Hotel and Casino over the years to see his father felt like living in a movie. Michael “Mickey” Wichinsky, a respected and noted pioneer in the slot machine and gaming industry, led a life of intrigue—where showgirls, glitz, and glamour sparkled around every corner and backroom deals with mobsters were simply part of doing business.It was only after his father’s death that Glenn discovered how deep the ties had been between Mickey and the Mob, forcing him to reconcile his father’s early life and work in Las Vegas with his understanding of the kind and generous man he knew. Told with honesty, heart, and deep self-reflection, Things Left Unsaid is both a personal odyssey and a fascinating dive into the history of the Nevada gaming industry by a man trying to reframe the story of his father’s past—and his own.

    EILEEN ISOLA - "Necessary Turbulence: Fifty Years, One Unbreakable Sisterhood Forged in the Crucible of the Air Force Academy" Actual True Story (Lead Editor) - Episode 290

    Another 100% True Story in the Rick Flynn Presents "Ongoing Strong Women" series of our amazing podcast heard worldwide, as are the actual jet airplanes flown by our decorated international combat pilot guest on this week's show, EILEEN ISOLA, who is the lead editor of this amazing book available wherever books are sold. For fifty years, an extraordinary story has been hiding in plain sight. Necessary Turbulence is a collective narrative of women who came of age inside systems that were not built for them and learned, in real time, how to live, lead, and redefine themselves anyway. In 1976, 157 young women marched beneath the words "Bring Me Men" at the top of a ramp leading into a world that had never imagined them. They, and the more than 12,000 who followed, faced a contentious culture, inadequate facilities, and a system designed to break them. Told they were destroying standards and would never graduate, more than 7,000 women proved them wrong. Drawn from 108 voices across five decades, this narrative traces what it meant to begin without a roadmap: to enter environments where expectations were unclear, belonging was not guaranteed, and the cost of getting it wrong was high. It chronicles women learning to navigate pressure, claim authority, and build lives of consequence. This landmark work captures their arc from uncertainty to self-trust, from isolation to connection, and from endurance to choice. These are not distant or exceptional experiences. They are recognizable: moments of doubt, recalibration, courage, and growth that shape who they became. Across careers and decades, these women carried forward what they forged into their work, relationships, and lives. This is a story about how identity is built under pressure. About what it takes to belong when belonging isn't offered. About the quiet, cumulative ways women reshape the spaces they move through-and themselves in the process. Necessary Turbulence recounts what this sisterhood learned to hold-and what they made possible for all women because of their shared beginning in the crucible of the Air Force Academy. www.NecessaryTurbulence.com
