Meet Tara Lush. She was an Associated Press Crime Reporter for 30 years and now writes coffee cozy series and she just released her first paranormal fiction as an indie author.

We had a great chat about how Eat, Pray, Hex  is a "love-letter to mid-life" and how her books "at the core everybody is really kind to each other." Her philosophy is "to be sweet without being saccharine."

This mild-mannered punk rocker is a Gen Xerox at heart and confesses "the hardest part of writing  a cozy is not cussing." This episode is a clean and cozy chat and you won't want to miss the nuggets she shares. Tune in and learn more about this awesome author "pushes the edge of cozy."

Meet Horror creator and filmmaker Richard T. Wilson. We had a great chat about how filmmaking is like rock and roll and learn why he describes candy corn as the "flipping off candy." I'd say that makes him very punk rock \m/ 🤘. 

We spoke about how journaling is cathartic and how it's more than doodling. We get a little deep, but also chat about Blobfest, spiders, and the Wolfman.

Healing is Powerful. Healing is Magical. We are healing from the trauma and being terrorized in our own home.

The people below us caused us so much fear and terror. Domestic Violence doest only impact the couple involved, it impacts those around them. We had to flee for our safety.

Domestic Abuse is something I have only been involved with from a charity point of view. I donated to women's shelters, but now I understand from a very small frame the situations firsthand.  

Thank you for listening and supporting the show.
