It's time to Rant & Ramble with @lina and @ar! . . . Happy Wednesday folks, it's Release Day at The A.R.T. Podcast—Episode #2 of Season 23' is available now on all podcasting platforms as well as YouTube! . From Lina's Amazon Author Bio: “Growing up on the east coast in small-town New Jersey, Lina spent her early days playing pretend and making up stories for her friends and family. Little did they know, that pastime would soon turn into a lifelong passion for storytelling in all of its forms. While she's a family therapist by profession, she's a writer at heart. When she's not scribbling ideas about fictional worlds into the margins of her notebooks, Lina spends her time reading anything she can get her hands on, driving her fiancé crazy with her wild daydreams, and snuggling her adorable pups.”  . Lina and I had a great time discussing romance genres, how much smug is too much (or not enough), and Celtic myths. .

For the first time on the podcast—but hopefully not the last—we talk to the two amazing women behind the hit podcast: “Robin and Joa Save The World, One Book At A Time”, Robin and Joa. This week we have ROBIN CASTLE, live and in the flesh! Robin is a ball of good vibes and amazing energy, a couple seconds within the recording and I was already sporting a Grinch-esque ear to ear smile. She describes herself as “Agatha Christie…if she were 227 years old, on social media, and lived in Ireland”, and I honestly have to agree. Like Joa, running/hosting a hilarious book-centered podcast isn't all she has going for, she's an active author as well. Her book, RELATED BY MURDER is out now (pick up your copy @ Amazon, or follow the links below). As she describes it: “This is a different kind of mystery. Sure, there's a murder (sorry Chester). There's also an exploration of the real impact of domestic violence and poverty. Yet, the story leaves the reader filled with hope. RELATED BY MURDER takes the reader on a journey. Not your everyday mystery, but a tremendously good read anyway. Available at Amazon, Indigo, Barnes and Noble, and all the regular places.

He's a NanoWriMo winner, a filmmaker, and half of the Bradley Lejeune coauthor team, who released their Sci Fi epic “The McMurdo Rift” earlier this year. Here's the blurb from “The McMurdo Rift”: “One ex-wife. A missing husband. A mysterious alien race. Earth created a grand and far-spanning empire. It rebelled. What should have been an easy victory became swift defeat when the alien Koru allied themselves with the breakaway colonies and an attack on Earth by a powerful ship almost brought the homeworld to utter ruin. On that day, Mark Franklin saved the world, but at a terrible cost. That was ten years ago and now he lives a peaceful life running the bar on an aging starliner in the back of beyond. But his peace is about to be shattered. Can he help his ex-wife find her missing husband, and what are the mysterious Koru after in the heart of The McMurdo Rift??” Maybe it's because we both wear glasses, maybe it's because he's from the UK, but I vibed with Martin from the start of the recording. He's witty, smart, and very down to earth which is an award-winning combination if you ask me. Just about every idea he told me about during the recording made my jaw hit the floor. I say this often, but that doesn't make it any less true, make sure to follow the Bradley Lejeune Amazon Author page and TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS. If you do, diamond rings, sports cars, and lots of money will come into life today. If you don't, I'll take what you love!!! (Not really, but do it—please

STAY TUNED TILL THE END FOR AN EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK AT HER SOON TO BE RELEASED SEQUEL TO "ABYSS OF THE FALLEN"! This week's episode has been long overdue, and it's not because it's being released half a day late (not the only reason anyway). Diana Estell finally joins us on the podcast to talk about her love/struggles of being an author, the writer's imposter syndrome that follows it, and being a "Goth Mom". Like most of us, Diana draws inspiration for her books from the experiences she's been through in her life--the only difference being that there are not many people who can say they've lived/are living a life to the degree Diana does. She's an extreme cycling junkie, an avid traveler of the world, an obsessive fan of Rock & Roll/Punk music, and has a self-proclaimed "deep love of words". She has not been afraid to take life by the horns, and it shows in her craft. Her carefree imagination, mixed with the realities of life she's faced throughout her life, create a dynamite combination of creativity and wit. Her first published novel, ABYSS OF THE FALLEN, is available now through Amazon and through her website/social media pages (all links found in video banner & below). Please take a minute to follow her, buy her book, and show her some love because she truly deserves it.

Our guest, Matthew Romeo, is a Science Fiction and Fantasy author with a knack for swordplay. His first trilogy, The Maven Knight, is a fantasy set in a post-apocalyptic world where nanite storms cover the lands and heroes must rise to conquer a rising evil. He is also the author of The Outrider Saga and co-author of the Seawyth Chronicles, so if you haven't added any of his works into your TBR, you should be! Maybe it was the Star Wars references, maybe it was how we had a huge nerd-bond--who knows--but whatever the reason, this conversation was a genuine blast to have. Matthew's wit and imagination have allowed him to create some truly jaw-dropping sequences within his stories, I felt like I had front-row seats to a movie premiere as he described some of them throughout the chat.

This week we welcome a spirtual powerhouse of an author and inspirational orator, Amukelani Makhuvela! She is the creative mind behind "Basket of Grief", a gripping tale that follows the lives of different indivuals which come together to forge a story that teaches us how to heal in the face of misery. Her works have been sold and featured in South African libraries since she was old enough to pick up a pen, so it was an absolute honor to speak with her. Amukelani (outside of having an awesome accent--seriously, it makes everything she says that much more profound) is a government worker in South Africa when she's not crafting stories. She holds a degree in social science, obtained at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). Born in Mbokota village, in the Limpopo Province, she later reloacted to Gauteng Province, where she now lives with her family in the city of Tshwane. She describes herself as "a slave to the curiosities of her state of mind, which makes her love for writing grow each day." Her love of Fantasy & Thrillers have molded her into quite an imagnitive storyteller, but the way she blends together South African lore and takes inspiration from real-life events is what makes her writing stand out--it's no wonder she was an Honoree for the 2021 African Authors Award!

He is the author and creative mind behind the Ms. Infinity series, which just recently nabbed #51 in Amazon's Bestsellers list for Superhero Fiction audiobooks--such an achievement! Andrew's work is breathing fresh air in this superhero genre that has swept across all platforms of entertainment for the past 20 years, and he doesn't plan on stopping! What I admire the most about Andrew is his ability to keep marketing his books and finding new ways to bring more eyes to previous works while maintaining a great work ethic with new projects. He's just recently revamped the covers of the first three installments of the Ms. Infinity Saga (they look incredible by the way, definitely check them out) and he's hard at work with finalizing the audiobook versions of his other two books! "Ms. Infinity: Earth's Greatest Hero" is the first book in the series with "Where Infinity Begins" and "Infinite Moon" respectfully making up the 2nd and 3rd legs of the saga. The series follows the life of Bonnie Boring and her alter-ego--Ms. Infinity. Andrew's wit and positivity radiate through his characters/world to create a work that feels real and tangible even though its subject matter revolves around larger than earth threats, superpowers, and nefarious villains. For more of his work, find him on social media (all links below) and make sure to reach out/support him, for all the hard work this man has put into these books an "atta-boy" is the least we can do.

We're starting the New Year off write (see what I did there?) with some tips, and tricks to survive being an Indie Author. Fan-favorite, Brittany Leonard, is back and is ready to fill you in on everything she's been busy with since we last had her on. The graphic novel she's working on and hoping to release by 2022, “Element”, revolves around this idea of Eco-consciousness and bends it around a fantasy world where each elemental plane (alternate dimensions where respective elements rule) is facing a crisis with pollution! Such a fun and unique idea, plus the passion she shows when she talks about it always puts a huge smile of my face. Her debut is a kid's book called “The Life of a Shadow” that not only teaches children how to deal with issues we all face today but also flexes their artistic muscles by featuring an arts & craft section at the end of the book where you can create your own “shadow” at home! Not only is she creative, Brittany is a person with a purpose. As an anti-pollution advocate, she uses her stories to only entertain but to remind people the dangers of not being Eco-conscious and show us what could happen if we don't smarten up as a whole.

This week we welcome another fresh face to the A.R.T. family, Nate McWilliams! Mr. McWilliams is the "Baldy" in "Baldy and The Fatman Productions" and they've recently produced (as well as directed, wrote, AND acted in) their first film together. They've even had the pleasure of screening their film at a local theater to friends/family and ended up selling the place out! Senor Baldy here, and his partner in crime, Fatman, are a talented pair to look out for. I feel like my jaw was dropped for 80% of this conversation, the work Nate has done to make his vision a reality is nothing short of awe-inspiring. As any fan of the podcast/channel can tell you, I'm a huge film buff, and as any film buff can tell you, we all aspire to make a film one day. Nate took that pipe dream and manifested it into a film he can be proud of, and it's quite funny too! For more of Nate, check out his social media links below and show him some love - he definetly deserves some! Don't forget, his film "Thief Among Us" is out NOW and available on YouTube for anyone to watch for the low-low price of FREE FIFTY! Do me a favor and check it out, it's well worth the watch.

This week we talk to the co-author duo - JT Blakely - author of NRDS (National Recently Deceased Services) about writing a Kindle Vella Serial, the future of writing stories, and how to effectively write comedy! When JT takes off his long trench coat and sunglasses (revealing that he is in fact two grown men with one on the other's shoulders), I have a great conversation with the men behind the man - Jeff Elkins & JP Rindfleisch! These two are truly hilarious, beside the invaluable views they have on proper writing techniques, this conversation was genuinely a blast to record. Witty, silly, everything you could want in a writer pair if you ask me. As a co-author unit they fill in the gaps the other lacks like a perfect ying and yang, but don't be fooled, indivudally these two are powerhouses in their own right. For more of these two, visit their Amazon Kindle Vella author page and/or visit their social media feed for the latest to come from this dynamic duo.
