Friday talks with Henya Dreshcher
In this episode of our #FridayTalks we’ve @henyad_writer
HENYA DRESCHER was born in France to Polish parents and raised in Israel. She is published in Medium and several magazines. She holds a BA in English Literature. Aside from writing, her passions include lifting weights and driving long distances. She and her husband reside in New York City.
“Stolen Truth” - Bree Michaelson wakes up one day feeling drugged and confused, to find her boyfriend, Todd Armstrong, and her infant son, Noah, missing. But why does no one believe her? Lacking witnesses to her pregnancy, a birth certificate to prove a child was born, or a marriage license to prove her invisible husband ever existed, Bree will find it impossible to get the help she so desperately needs to find her baby.
Nevertheless, despite suspicious friends, family, and authorities, Bree sets out to find Todd and Noah. Only when her sister commits her to a hospital psych ward that Bree begins to doubt her own story. In the past, she suffered from a false pregnancy. Is this an imagined recurrence? She must fight to find the truth of what has happened to her-or admit that is all in her own mind.

Friday Talks with Brett-Smith Daniels
Another episode of #FridayTalks with @brettsmithdaniels ! We had an amazing and fun conversation. The episode will be out tomorrow.
Once described by Matt Sorum of Guns n’ Roses as “the future of Rock N’ Roll”!
Singer-songwriter, and renowned guitarist Brett Smith-Daniels has shared the stage with music legends such as:
Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones
Micky Moody of Whitesnake
Randy Bachman of BTO/The Guess Who
Slight of frame and looking a bit like Harry Potter without the glasses (or scar!) — and, with his British accent, sounding even more like him — Victoria’s Brett Smith-Daniels is a man with a plan. Albeit a young man with a bold plan. A blueprint for the blues.Regarded as a virtuoso blues-rock guitarist and singer, the 23-year-old makes regular appearances at The Bard & Banker and Irish Times and pops up on just about every stage in town.
His single “blinded” is releasing on 20th of august. Make sure to pre save as it is for a worthy cause.
50% of all net profit from this song is going to support @childrenofpeace - a bipartisan humanitarian organization that shelters children on both sides of the conflict between Israel-Palestine from the ongoing violence, and encourages friendships and works to combat both xenophobia and antisemitism by funding co-ed sports, music and educational programs for children of all faiths and of none.

Friday Talks with Richard Wilmore
Richard grew up in Northern Wisconsin. He worked very hard at not being noticed in school but always wanted to be on camera. Rich wanted to be a Talk Show Host since he was12. It was first seeing Rosie O'Donnell's show in 1997 that sparked this love and he hasn't stopped since. He attended UW-Milwaukee for college, which took him 5 years to get a Theatre Degree because he was busy ....socializing. Not knowing how to become a Host after college, Rich started hosting live trivia games in bars and restaurants around Milwaukee.
Then it happened.....he was asked to host his own show on Milwaukee Public Television in 2011. That show won an award! Rich began working with the arts-in-health nonprofit, Hearts Need Art: Creative Support for Patients and Caregivers. He works with adult patients, their loved ones and medical staff to bring moments of joy, creativity and self-expression through art, music and writing programs.
