Meredith Lyons-Martial Arts Expert Discusses her Debut Novel “Ghost Tamer”

In spite of doing each of these things twice, she couldn’t stay warm and relocated to Nashville.

Sam Evans—Shares Her Discovery of Joy Through Unexpected Sorrow

Samantha Evans is the author of award-winning Love Letters to Miscarried Moms. Catch her Facebook Live devos at www.facebook.com/groups/1838920949768815/.

Since the original publication date of Love Letters in 2011, Clint and Sam Evans’ family has grown, totaling three heaven-born babies and three beautiful, earth-born daughters.

In 2017, Evans co-authored three versions of Adventure Devos with professional writer, photographer, certified white-water rafter and hang-from-mountain-upside-downer, Eric Sprinkle. Sam’s “Ad Dev” contributions, detailing vivid descriptions of leeches, the polar plunge, skydiving and chasing a wolf through the woods, focused more on what not to do in the wilderness.

In 2018, Evans won back-to-back “Writer of the Month” awards through Good Catch Publishing. Her freelance work through GCP consisted of extensively interviewing people about their God stories and then writing the story teller’s story for him or her in first person.

In June of 2019, Evans husband Clint joined their heaven-borns after a 20-month long battle with cancer.

As with Love Letters, Evans continues to convey the truth with humor, transparency and love in the midst of her grief and loss, conveying the most important message of all: you are worthy, so, so worthy of God’s love.

Gary Stuart–Discusses His Journey From Law to Author

Gary Stuart–Discusses His Journey From Law to Author


He earned degrees in business and law at the University of Arizona, and practiced law in Phoenix Arizona with Jennings, Strouss & Salmon from 1967 to 1998. Gary started his own solo practice in 1999 and now a part-time lawyer with a focus on ethics and professional discipline.


He teaches creative writing and ethics to law students at Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.


The Miranda book was about true confessions given by guilty defendants who confessed without knowing they had a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Innocent Until Interrogated is about false confessions given by defendants who did not believe they had any choice suffering tag-team custodial interrogation for days on end by corrupt cops. Those two books led to my writing the true story of one of Arizona’s most important wrongful conviction cases—Anatomy of A Confession. It is the true story of a woman convicted of killing her son based on a confession she never gave.

 

His western novels are driven by the main characteristic of the genre—the American West during the waning years of the nineteenth century. They are told by fictional characters on the frontier, cowboys, western women, sheriffs and outlaws. Horses are lead characters in every book.


His mystery/psychological novels evolve around unstable or delusional mental and emotional conditions. Some of my characters suffer from dissociative identify disorders. Others chase and sometimes find retribution, revenge, and release.


His blogs focus on the ethics of writing—thus combining both of my occupational hazards. The 200+ blogs on his blogsite are shallow dives into writing while maintaining ethical integrity. Gary’s subject list is seemingly endless—norms, imperatives, etiquette, fraudulent publication, plagiarism, duplicate publication, authorship, conflict of interest, pandemics, politics, and other regressions.

Dr. Randy Overbeck–Discusses His Latest Novels & What's New In The Publishing World

Dr. Randy Overbeck–Discusses His Latest Novels & What's New In The Publishing World

Before becoming a best-selling author, Dr. Randy Overbeck served a children for nearly four decades as a teacher, college professor and school leader, a career he cherished. This extensive and in-depth experience has infused his writing with a rare authenticity about the world of education, even as the protagonists of his tales tackle daunting, out-sized challenges.

In his career, Dr. Overbeck has held a wide range of positions and has brought this knowledge and insight to the characters he has created. For example, he began his educational career as an English teacher and student newspaper adviser, much the same as Dee Dee Sterber, the heroine of Leave No Child Behind. (Leave No Child Behind, a thriller about the takeover of a small town school  by a terrorist cell and the teacher who confronts the intruders in her own hallways, was published in 2011).

Then, like Ken Parks, the assistant superintendent and protagonist in Cruel Lessons, Overbeck has also served in the role of school investigator, interrogating students and teachers in order to uncover the truth behind a crime at school. (Cruel Lessons, an atmospheric, amateur sleuth mystery about the death of four elementary students from a rogue hallucinogenic drug and the drive to uncover the murderer and drug dealer, is his newest work, released fall, of 2023).  His doctoral studies instilled in Dr. Overbeck an enhanced skill set for research and analysis that inspired him to imbue the character of Darrell Henshaw, a history teacher and amateur researcher of the Haunted Shores Mysteries with similar abilities. This award-winning series includes Blood on the Chesapeake (2019), Crimson at Cape May (2020) and Scarlet at Crystal River (2021). A fourth installment is scheduled for release in 2024.

She attended Niagara College and graduated at the top of her class from Community and Justice Services after completing her placement at a recovery house for alcohol and drug addictions. Post-graduation, she worked at a Native Friendship Centre for two and a half years while pursuing a university education in psychology. Randi-Lee continued working in social services for another four years as an employment counselor until she left to pursue her other passions.

In 2017 Randi published her first book about mental health awareness (Thoughts of a Wanderer) and knew this was what she was meant to do. While publishing her second book (A Mother’s Truth), she was diagnosed with cancer. Taking a break from writing and focusing on recovery.

Since then, she has expanded her writing with other nonfiction books, children’s books, social stories, draw-your-own-story series, scary stories, and more.

Another of Randi-Lee’s passions is kickboxing, which she did for over 10 years. She was a Canadian National Champion in kickboxing in 2015, competed at the World’s Kickboxing tournament later that year, and 2016 competed at the Pan-Am Games, where she received silver in her division. In 2020 she was chosen as one of the coaches for the Ontario Winter Games, where she inspired and coached young athletes. Unfortunately, a chronic illness has put a pause on kickboxing.

While she isn’t working, she is spending time with her family. Randi speaks honestly and openly about her struggles with her own mental health and as a parent – wanting to ensure that no one feels alone.

James Dickson—discusses his debut book A Thousand Little Moments: Grace-Shaped Parenting


James Dickson is a loving father, husband, pastor, teacher, and author.

He comes from a background of banking and real estate, but has poured his life into ministry. It is evident in his book that he believes what he lives.

His book A Thousand Little Moments: Grace-Shaped Parenting, tells us the following:

Parenting is a long-term journey, but most of us are simply trying to make it through each day. Often, we look for quick-fix techniques, but the Bible offers something better. It points us to the Savior who graciously claims His own. Jesus is the Savior who had a long-term vision for His disciples that led Him to patiently engage with, delight in, shape, and pray for them. More than training tips, parents need to see Jesus and a new way to think about parenting in Him. A Thousand Little Moments will free us from the urgency of the moment by offering a long-term, grace-shaped philosophy of parenting.

Glenda Benevides-Author & Grammy considered Artist Talks "Courage" to Live Your Dreams



Check out this book overview from Glenda’s book Courage!

If you are alive and breathing, you are growing no matter what you believe or what is happening.
“Who am I?”
Ask yourself this ever-evolving, truth-seeking question every day and ponder it with curiosity. Embracing yourself as you are is a key factor in being able to move anything forward in this world as an empowered manifestation of the honest YOU.
Take the time to step back and reevaluate your life. This action will support your efforts to embrace your own thoughts, inspirations, and honest desires and sort out the inner monologue that is working against you. Look at your own truth and intentionally let go of others’ opinions.
The walls of fear take the wind out of the sails of courage. Own what are truly your feelings. Speak up and speak out with passion and fervor, and love who you are.

Dr. Lyn Squire

Dr. Lyn Squire

Another episode of the Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem Laced with Morality Podcast is coming with Lyn Squire🎙️

Lyn was born in Cardiff, South Wales. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Wales, his master’s at the London School of Economics and his doctorate at Cambridge University. Lyn is now an American citizen living in Virginia.

From Development Specialist…

During a twenty-five year career at the World Bank, Lyn Squire published over thirty articles and several books within his area of expertise. Illustrative titles are: International Development: Is It Possible? (joint with Nobel Laureate J.E. Stiglitz, Foreign Policy), and Fighting Poverty (American Economic Review). He was also lead author for World Development Report, 1990, which introduced the metric – a dollar a day – still used today to measure poverty worldwide.

Lyn also served as editor of the Middle East Development Journal for over a decade, and was the founding president of the Global Development Network, an organization dedicated to supporting promising scholars from the developing world.

…To Mystery Writer

Lyn has always been an avid reader of whodunits and has reviewed scores of mysteries for the City Book Review (Sacramento, CA), but it was the thrill of solving Charles Dickens’s unfinished ‘Mystery of Edwin Drood’ that convinced him to put aside his development pen and turn to fiction. Finding a solution to the mystery has attracted massive interest since the author’s death in 1870. A 1998 bibliography lists over 2,000 entries, with continuations ranging from the obvious (a Sherlock Holmes pastiche) to the absurd (The Mysterious Mystery of Rude Dedwin???). Lyn’s version of what happened to Edwin is revealed in his first novel, Immortalised to Death. The adventures of his protagonist, Dunston Burnett, a non-conventional amateur detective, continue in Fatally Inferior and The Séance of Murder, the second and thirdstories in The Dunston Burnett Trilogy.

Lyn’s wife once remarked that his books on development were among the most boring she’d ever read. He’s hoping his mysteries fare a little better.

Audrey Gale—Corporate Banker Turned Author Sums Up Her Career as a Thriller Writer


Audrey Gale long dreamed of being a writer, but never anticipated the circuitous road she’d take to get there. After twenty-plus years in the banking industry, she grew tired of corporate gamesmanship and pursued her master’s in fiction writing at the University of Southern California.

Her first novel, a legal thriller entitled The Sausage Maker’s Daughters, was published under the name A.G.S. Johnson. The novel explores one woman’s struggle to find her place amidst the upheaval of the radical 1960s.

Her second, The Human Trial, is the first book in a medical-thriller trilogy inspired by Gale’s own experiences with the gap between traditional medicine and approaches based on the findings of the great physicists of the 20th Century, like Einstein and Bohr. Both The Sausage Maker’s Daughters and The Human Trial incorporate Gale’s fascination with historical and scientific research, and always with women finding their places.

Gale lives in Los Angeles with her husband and dogs where she is found hiking the Santa Monica Mountains every chance she gets.

When she's not reading and writing horror, Francesca visits haunted places and records their histories.

Francesca is a former journalist, a published author and a graduate from University of California at Berkeley.

Francesca is also a psychic medium (https://franciesoito.com/) and detective and uses her knowledge of the other world to aid in her storytelling. She has a black belt in Taekwondo, drives a '53 Chevy truck and drums until her hands bleed.

Taryn Souders—Award-Winning YA Author Shares Her Story

Taryn Souders—Award-Winning YA Author Shares Her Story


Taryn Souders was born in Dallas, Texas and lived all over before settling down in Florida with her husband, David, and their three kids.

She never started out planning to be a writer—she was a middle school math teacher for a couple years. But, being a voracious reader as a kid it gave her a love for words (and working with middle-schoolers gave her a sense of humor). It seemed like a good idea to combine the two (words and humor) and voila, a book was born.

Sally Apokedak of the Apokedak Literary Agency represents her, and she couldn’t ask for a more hardworking, insightful, integrity-filled agent. She has been blessed in her friendship with her and hope there are many more years (and books) to come.
