As a writer, your primary job is to communicate. Most of us feel very comfortable communicating our ideas, stories, and other content in a variety of forms. If you write for clients, you probably feel right at home when you write in their style or voice. For some reason, though, many writers struggle when it comes to communicating about themselves! It's critical that we feel confident and assertive when it comes to talking about our work, our services, our value, and how we can help and serve others with our writing. That's why I'm excited to bring you this conversation with Lindsey Hughes. Known as the Pitchmaster, Lindsey loves helping people discover their superpower, create compelling content, and feel excited about pitching and networking. She teaches how to pitch like a boss, network like a VIP, and write like an Oscar winner. In her wide-ranging career as a Hollywood development executive, Lindsey has worked in everything from feature films, television movies, and TV series, to animation and live action. She began her career reading scripts for Robert Zemeckis and Kathryn Bigelow, worked under Michael Eisner at Walt Disney Feature Animation, and developed projects for John H. Williams, producer of the billion-dollar Shrek franchise. You can connect with Lindsey at her site, https://thepitchmaster.com, where you can also subscribe to her weekly newsletter for actionable creativity and career tips. In this conversation, Lindsey and I talk about ways we can improve our author bio, our branding, and various other means we use to communicate to people how we can serve them. This episode is going to be super valuable to every writer who wants to create more value for their ideas and services—that includes you as well! Lindsey is full of energy and insights, and you'll come away with lots of great ideas to boost your business profile. * * * Today's episode is sponsored by Karen Hunsanger, an incredible editor known as “The Word Wizard.” I've worked with Karen many times, and she is your secret weapon for crafting the highest-quality book possible.

Welcome to our 120th episode. Our guest is erotic author Eric Parker. Erik and I had a great conversation that ranged from writing erotic stories to getting into the lifestyle. I hope to bring Eric back, possibly with his wife, to chat more. For now, enjoy the episode. Author Bio, in his words: I guess you could say I am just a normal, regular everyday guy. A baseball lover, a business owner, and just another guy walking around with extremely dirty thoughts running through his mind throughout the day. Most people just let these thoughts go in and out of their head. Me? I document and build on them. I have been writing erotic short stories for a few years now. It has actually become therapeutic to me, allowing me to decompress at times when feeling stressed out. After getting some really great feedback on some of them, I decided to make them available to the public for people to enjoy. After reading a lot of erotic short stories over the years, I found many of them just did not capture the erotic intensity that they could have. So, I began writing my own. I believe a really good erotic story not only focuses on the sexual tension of the characters, but the situation between them. The short stories that I write are all inspired by real people that exist in my life, and new ones that I meet everyday. I observe things about these people and situations in their lives, such as a problem in their relationship, or their sexy appearance, and create extremely dirty, sexual fantasies about them. - Eric Parker Links: Social Media Facebook, Eric Parker: https://www.facebook.com/EricParkerErotica Facebook, Book: https://www.facebook.com/ADirtyDozen Facebook, A Story: https://www.facebook.com/PaybackEroticBook Twitter: https://twitter.com/EroticaEric LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-parker-erotica/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericparkererotica/ Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/author/ericparkererotica Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T6LFSGF Story: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08VD2H5SM Story: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TMZN51W Story: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TVSDTC5 Story: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08THPGVSX --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kyle-canon/message

Happy New Year! We are back kicking off 2023 with a three part series on Alien Isolation by Keith R.A. DeCandido. The game that it is based on, also called Alien Isolation is by far one our favorite games of all time. It's set a decade or so after the disappearance of The Nostromo, the ship featured in the original Alien film. The main character is the 20-something daughter of Ellen Ripley, named Amanda, who is on her way to Sevastopol Station which claims they have received the Nostromo flight recorder, and possibly information on her mother's whereabouts. And that's when things go horribly wrong. So listen in as we read, recap, and review Alien Isolation to kick off 2023! It's going to be a great year, and we thank you for joining us.

Author bio links can either help or hurt your SEO. Author bio links are helpful if the site is large enough and generates enough traffic. Leaving a comment on Joe-Bob's Baloney Blog is probably not so much. Google's new Penguin protocol examines sites based on keywords.  You should have a good mix of high-end content, keywords, and links out and back. If you want people to be more interested in the author than the article, limit the links in the text. There is no black-or-white "best" answer to whether you should allow guest bloggers on your site.  Author bio links can be very effective, but require some knowledge of how SEO works on your part. A good author with a basic understanding of both SEO and guest blogging netiquette can be an immense ally.

Health, Wealth, Love, Beauty and Harmony by Karen GravitDo you desire better health, wealth, love, beauty, harmony than this world can give and achieve it in an empowered way that does not cause more problems and ill-health like the usual method? Shown how these five areas relate to five simple exercises in order to greatly strengthen instead of deprive each other and create youthful whole well-being, I sense that this will shorten the difficult times for those who are suffering and even boost satisfactory lives to higher attainment. Being completely receptive and sensitive to real inner help just like in my youth, I experienced an amazing comeback to youthful health in 6 months after many years of long suffering once I began the Five Tibetan Rites exercises as I am also experiencing an increase in the other areas as well. What is essentially needed for a productive, satisfying life and the best way to attain it without wasting precious time and energy is found through inner guidance as the body's energy centers are activated by the life energy flow of the exercises. Awakened to clear, thoughtful awareness that opens up potential rewards, this orderly method will make the steep, uphill climb more like a walk in the park.Author Bio:  Born in October 1961, Illinois,  grew up in Land of Lincoln, Sangamon County, loved playing outside and exploring the woods,  later living on twenty acres out in the countryside taking care of huge lawn and oak trees on property. Moved to California after high school to be with love interest that didn't work out. Served three years in the Air National Guard and was honorably discharged. Attended college part time and graduated with honors from El Camino College with AS in Fire Science.  Worked with Torrance Fire Department for a year as an auxiliary firefighter and worked at several other jobs over the course of forty years while in California. Married and had two wonderful daughters, and divorced after 15 years. Finally moving to Arizona, giving up the dream of finding happiness there after suffering one loss after another. By allowing the energy found through the Tibetan Rites to guide the way, a more enjoyable life has emerged. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1955691398/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_FVE509DY705JTT58Q31Mwww.infusedmedia.cohttp://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/kgravitinf.mp3   http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/kgravitinf.mp3

In today's episode Marsha had the pleasure to speak with board certified Heart Surgeon owner of Ovadia Heart health and Author Dr. Philip Ovadia.  Dr. Ovadia experienced his own health journey of being overweight which led him to a massive shift. He was able to lose over 100 pounds and five years later has still managed to keep the weight off.  Everything we have learned about our health in the medical profession from traditional medicine has been wrong. Dr. Ovadia is changing the narrative of how we approach health through the metabolic health. It is our goal as medical professionals and health practitioners that we get the word out on how we view health and the truth about food as it relates to your health. Look out Dr. Ovadia's book Stay off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon's Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight, Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day. Available November 11th 2021.   Author Bio  Dr. Philip Ovadia is a board-certified Cardiac Surgeon and founder of Ovadia Heart Health. His  mission is to optimize the public's metabolic health and help people stay off his operating  table. As a heart surgeon who used to be morbidly obese, Dr. Ovadia has seen firsthand the  failures of mainstream diets and medicine. He realized that what helped him lose over 100  pounds was the same solution that could have prevented most of the thousands of open heart  surgeries he has performed—metabolic health.  In Stay off My Operating Table: A Heart Surgeon's Metabolic Health Guide to Lose Weight,  Prevent Disease, and Feel Your Best Every Day, Dr. Ovadia shares the complete metabolic  health system to prevent disease.  Dr. Ovadia grew up in New York and graduated from the accelerated Pre-Med/Med program at  the Pennsylvania State University and Jefferson Medical College. This was followed by a  residency in General Surgery at the University of Medicine and Dentistry at New Jersey and a  Fellowship in Cardiothoracic Surgery at Tufts – New England Medical School.  Learn more about Dr. Ovadia at www.OvadiaHeartHealth.com.

During his session, his massage therapist finds lots of little scabs on his body—yikes! Good news: this is not nearly so scary as it seems. The hygienic practices we already use provide us with good protection from MRSA colonization, but that needs to happen on purpose, and not by accident. Also, you might want to keep some gloves and masks around.   Sponsors:        Anatomy Trains: www.anatomytrains.com       Books of Discovery: https://booksofdiscovery.com       Author Bio:        Ruth Werner is a former massage therapist, a writer, and an NCBTMB-approved continuing education provider.

A client has Marfan syndrome—what does it mean for him? And what does it mean for massage? Listen in as we review what autosomal dominant means, and we enjoy some new vocabulary: dolichostenomelia (abnormally long, thin limbs) and arachnodactyly (spider-digits). We also learn about the potentially life-threatening complications of this genetic disorder.   Sponsors:       Anatomy Trains: www.anatomytrains.com     Books of Discovery: https://booksofdiscovery.com      Author Bio:       Ruth Werner is a former massage therapist, a writer, and an NCBTMB-approved continuing education provider.

A client didn’t share an important piece of information—and the therapist didn’t ask. The result: a serious situation that massage could have made much worse. In this episode, we talk about a surprising relationship between bariatric surgery and liver failure—and about the need to ask open-ended, inviting questions that will help us get a clear and full understanding of our clients’ health challenges.   Sponsors:     Anatomy Trains: https://www.anatomytrains.com    Books of Discovery: https://booksofdiscovery.com    Coaching the Body: https://joinnow.live/s/kJeIiz?v1=ABMP-digital-mag-mar2021    Author Bio:     Ruth Werner is a former massage therapist, a writer, and an NCBTMB-approved continuing education provider.

In episode 21, we sit down for a discussion with Nathan Maki, author of several works of historical fiction, including The War Within Series and his newest release, The Keeper's Crown. We discuss his writing process, Bible quizzing, the new book, and the orphanage that his parents operate in the Congo. Be sure to check out his new book; you won't be disappointed!You can find Bro. Maki's books here:Amazon: https://goo.gl/vvGo5YBarnes & Noble: https://goo.gl/z9KsCKAuthor's Website: www.nathandmaki.comAbout the new book:A Roman soldier in exile, a rebel Jewess, and an Apostle in chains…can faith, hope, and love unite them?Some early reviewers had this to say:“Unequivocally five stars all the way!”“Fans of Francine Rivers’ Mark of the Lion trilogy will enjoy Nathan Maki’s immersive The Keeper’s Crown.”“This novel unfolds like a movie and draws you into the sights, sounds and smells of first century Palestine leaving the reader with the ‘you were there’ experience.”“Impeccably researched, this tale is difficult to put down and is sure to be a favorite of fans of Roman era historical fiction and the story of early Christianity.”“A great read from beginning to end.”In The Keeper’s Crown, readers will see Paul’s life and ministry in an immediate and accessible way, through the eyes of the young soldier who kept him under guard in Rome. The book follows Paul from his arrest in the Temple in Jerusalem, through his trials, transportation to Rome, shipwreck on Malta, imprisonment, appearance before Nero, and his eventual martyrdom. Along the way we meet such familiar figures as the governors Felix and Festus, King Agrippa, Timothy, Onesimus, Epaphroditus, Demas, and Emperor Nero. Readers will see the gospel of repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost played out before them, backed by Paul’s own words from his Epistles. Paul’s courage and determination and the overarching theme of “What is Godly Success?” will challenge believers to dare greatly and obey God’s will no matter the cost. All of this presented in an engaging, action-packed book that gets the message across without being “preachy.” Order yours today!Paul turned the world upside down. Nero set it on fire.Caught between them, can Quintus and Jael survive long enough to find the Truth?From the Back Cover:~Quintus~As a boy, he dared to fight Nero. Worse, he won. Stripped of his family, the love of his life, and his self-respect, he sets out on a quest to win a victor's crown, rescue his parents, and restore his family's honor. But his path to glory in the restless province of Judaea is threatened by the corrupt governor Felix, the murderous priest Melechi, and most of all by the rabble-rousing Paul of Tarsus. When Quintus finds himself in Rome chained to Paul all hope of a crown seems lost, but Paul's example makes him question the true meaning of success. And why does Jael, the mysterious young Jewess who once saved his life, now respond with barely restrained flashes of hate? ~Jael~The Romans took her father and her brother from her. Now Jael vows to fight for her father's faith, fulfill her brother's oath, and avenge their deaths. But the further she travels with Paul and Quintus the more she feels torn. Can she follow her heart and still keep her vow? ~Paul~ He turned the world upside down. Paul never expected to end his ministry in chains, but even still, he is determined to carry the gospel to Rome and the Emperor Nero himself. But what if those who need the gospel most are those closest to him? As the Great Fire strikes Rome, fanning Nero's persecution of the Christians to a white-hot fury, murderous secrets, impossible choices, and steadfast faith will lead to tragedy and triumph.Excerpt from the BookThe prisoner looked over his bare shoulder at Quintus. “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?” His voice was steady and calm, as if he were asking a newcomer to a bathhouse about the weather outside.A Roman! Quintus froze. If this man’s claim was true, by law they should not even have fettered him. They certainly could not scourge him. “Hold,” he told the inquisitor. “Don’t touch him until I return.”Quintus sprinted the stairs three at a time. He found Lysias nursing a cup of wine and staring blank-faced at the milling crowd in the Temple courts below. Lysias turned and cocked an eyebrow. “Has he broken already? I had him made of sterner stuff.” “Watch what you’re doing with this one,” Quintus said. “This man is a Roman.” The tribune set down his cup so abruptly its contents sloshed over his hand. He didn’t seem to notice. “Take me there.” When they reached the dungeon, the prisoner was still bound as Quintus had left him. His arched back and lean, outstretched arms reminded Quintus of a juniper clinging to a wind-lashed crag. If he felt discomfort from the strained position he gave no sign of it.Lysias paced around to face him. The man’s eyes were closed, and his lips moved without a sound. “Tell me,” the tribune demanded, “are you a Roman?”The bound man looked up and met the tribune’s eyes with a frank gaze. “I am.” “Hmm.” Lysias ran a knuckle back and forth across his lips as he slowly shook his head. “With a great price I obtained this citizenship.” “But I was born free.” The prisoner’s eyes gleamed an inner light. “My name is Paul.”Author Bio and Fun FactsNathan Maki lives in Prescott, Ontario, Canada with his wife Rachel and son Alexander. He has turned his degrees in Journalism and History into a writing career, and along with The Keeper’s Crown he is author of the best-selling War Within series, also set in Ancient Rome. Nathan’s passion is bringing the ancient world to life in a way that will challenge modern-day believers to fight the good fight of faith.Like most true Canadians Nathan has a fake tooth thanks to hockey (and his high-sticking brother!)In 2016 Nathan and his wife Rachel celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary with a trip to Rome (Which Nathan calls “My Happy Place.”)Nathan, Rachel, and their son Alexander have two pugs, Pandy and Portia, whose idea of a good life is waking up, eating, napping, eating, napping, potty, and bed. A recent addition is Oliver, the Boston Terror…er…Terrior. Nathan spent 13 years in a program called Bible Quizzing and memorized over 6000 scriptures. His team took 2nd place in North America one year.Nathan graduated  from Carleton University with highest honors in Journalism and History only to become a landscaper, author, and pastor. Go figure! :)Nathan has ridden horses in Texas and Arizona, studied fencing and saber dueling, and considers skiing, skating, and tobogganing a great way to spend his free time in the winter. (When he’s not reading or writing historical fiction.)

He didn’t seem to notice. “Take me there.” When they reached the dungeon, the prisoner was still bound as Quintus had left him. His arched back and lean, outstretched arms reminded Quintus of a juniper clinging to a wind-lashed crag. If he felt discomfort from the strained position he gave no sign of it.Lysias paced around to face him. The man’s eyes were closed, and his lips moved without a sound. “Tell me,” the tribune demanded, “are you a Roman?”The bound man looked up and met the tribune’s eyes with a frank gaze. “I am.” “Hmm.” Lysias ran a knuckle back and forth across his lips as he slowly shook his head. “With a great price I obtained this citizenship.” “But I was born free.” The prisoner’s eyes gleamed an inner light. “My name is Paul.”Author Bio and Fun FactsNathan Maki lives in Prescott, Ontario, Canada with his wife Rachel and son Alexander.

(James) In this episode we’re going to talk about creating a crazy cool bio.

This episode originally aired on March 21, 2016. https://13thhr.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=post&jetpack-copy=3878 Today, I've very pleased to welcome dark fantasy author Joshua Robertson to the show.  It was a fun conversation and a chance to talk about all kinds of things related to fantasy, writing, and the like. Turns out that we had very similar journeys in writing - he created a fantasy world as a kid (1999) and then re-edited the manuscript for a long time until recently publishing the stories he'd worked on since adolescence.  In fact, his first novel released publicly, Melkorka, he re-wrote 7 times!  Holy persistence, Batman! He also discusses some of his most recent works, including Dyndaer, which was just released. If you're curious about some of the short stories that we read and discussed on the podcast, here are titles and links: A Midwinter Sellsword - an ongoing short story series based on a table top game world. Grimsdalr - a retelling of the Beowulf myth Anaerfell - the short story that introduces readers to the Thrice Nine Legends series - Josh recommends that new readers to his works start here. Josh's ongoing story on Wattpad, The Eadfel: Game of Houses, is available here. The story that I'm trying to turn into a novel, the modern retelling of the sleeping beauty fairy tale, is on Wattpad here. If you're an author or considering becoming one, Josh discusses a lot great information I wish I'd known years ago!  To use a handy but one of those annoyingly overused catchphrases of internet marketing, he brings a lot of high value content to the conversation (as well as to the podcast)!  Pay particular attention to his discussion on the importance of listening to your critics, making personal relationships with people on social media, starting the process of building your audience early (before publication - if you recall nothing else, remember this!!), the importance of a mailing list, and what he found most helpful as a young writer. And ... if you're an author and are interested in publishing a short story through Josh's publishing company, Crimson Edge, check out this anthology entitled "Maidens and Magic" - still taking submissions until 6/1/16.  Check it out! Author Bio (links to Goodreads) Joshua currently lives in Alaska with his wife and children. In 1999, he began crafting the world for Thrice Nine Legends, including Melkorka and Anaerfell. He is also the author of the A Midwinter Sellsword and Gladiators and Thieves in the Hawkhurst Saga. His short story,Grimsdalr, is inspired by the tale of Beowulf.

Amazon giveaway for the children's book, Your Star Will Glow Forever, is open until 3/22/16!  Stop by to see if you can score a free copy.  Mailing list subscribers find out about future giveaways and days when books go free early!
