For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure of interviewing Justin Lee Anderson! Justin was a professional writer and editor for 15 years before his debut novel, Carpet Diem, was published, going on to win the 2018 Audie award for Humor. His second novel, The Lost War, won the 2020 SPFBO award, leading to a four-book deal with Orbit for The Eidyn Saga. I really enjoyed his book The Lost War and it was one of my 3 favorite fantasy reads of 2024. Two short animations Justin scripted and produced were shortlisted for Scottish Creative awards, and he also writes TV and film scripts with his wife, Juliet. Their children's audio story, The Great Bumpkin King, was produced by BBC Scotland in 2019. Justin and Juliet live with their family in East Lothian, near Justin's hometown of Edinburgh.

In this episode, I had the honor of speaking with Dave Roberts, a man whose journey through profound loss has reshaped his entire perspective on life, grief, and spirituality. Dave lost his daughter, Jeannine, at just 18 years old to cancer, and his path toward healing has been filled with deep reflection, transformative experiences, and a unique understanding of continued bonds with those who have passed. His story is one of resilience and reconnection, as he shares how he found a way to maintain his relationship with his daughter beyond the physical world.Dave's journey led him to explore the intersection of psychology and spirituality, which became a cornerstone of his healing. He co-authored a book, When the Psychology Professor Met the Minister, delving into the power of belief, critical thinking, and how we can integrate different perspectives without abandoning our core values​. He speaks about the powerful role of synchronicities, dream visits, and numerology in his ongoing relationship with Janine. His experiences remind us that love and connection don't have to end with physical death.Throughout our conversation, Dave shared wisdom gained from his own grief journey, his work as a psychology professor, and the many students and people he has guided through loss. We also talked about the importance of honoring our emotions, embracing continued bonds, and challenging rigid thinking around death. Dave's insights offer a new way to look at loss—not as an end, but as a transformation of the relationship itself.

For this episode of Season 4, I had the pleasure of interviewing science fiction author Keith McWalter. We had a terrific chat about his newest novel Lifers. This was such a cool premise for me and I had to interview him to see where his ideas originated and where they were going to end up. Here is the blurb: In the year 2050, the man known as Zinn is on the run from the consequences of his greatest creation: an artificial genome that wildly increases the human lifespan. His “Methuselah gene” has gone viral, and he's being hunted by Adele, a semi-retired CIA biowarfare specialist who hopes to find a way to reverse the genome's effects before it's too late. As the longevity plague spreads, populations explode, economies are upended, and intergenerational resentments boil over. Adele searches for a cure while her former lover, Dan Altman, and his wife, Marion, wealthy political operatives both, become leaders of a movement of hundred-plus-year-old “lifers” and fight to create a sanctuary for the ultra-aged in the wilds of Colorado. Meanwhile, the Altmans' son, Nolan, thinks he has the answer to the longevity crisis: a suicide pill that kills after one year, a death wish algorithm that will influence the super-aged to take it, and his beautiful daughter, Claire, who is a spokesperson for the growing anti-lifer backlash and the head of the federal government's new Department for Longevity Management.

Julio Vincent Gambuto. Julio is a dynamic voice in the self-help space and the author of the insightful book, "Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!: How to Take Back Our Time, Attention, and Purpose in a World Designed to Bury Us in Bullshit". Published by Avid Reader Press / Simon & Schuster on August 8, 2023, this 336-page hardcover (ISBN-10: 1668009544, ISBN-13: 978-1668009543) is a transformative guide blending the practical advice of "Atomic Habits" with the humor of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck." In "Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!," Julio explores the profound societal shifts prompted by the pandemic, revealing how the forced pause allowed people to reassess their lives, prioritize genuine happiness, and resist the relentless demands of modern life. His work encourages readers to break free from automated behaviors, values, and relationships that hinder true fulfillment. Julio's background as a moviemaker and writer for esteemed platforms such as The New Yorker and Nickelodeon, along with his academic credentials from Harvard University and the USC School of Cinematic Arts, brings a rich depth to his insights. His viral essay series "Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting" resonated globally, and his debut book promises to spark equally impactful conversations. We believe that an interview with Julio would be a fascinating addition to your coverage and provide your audience with valuable insights into his creative process and transformative ideas. What inspired you to write "Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!" and how did the pandemic influence your perspective? Can you elaborate on the concept of "the ultimate gaslighting" and how it relates to your book? How do you see automated behaviors and societal pressures impacting individual happiness? What are some practical steps readers can take to "unsubscribe" from the aspects of life that no longer serve them? How did your background in filmmaking and writing shape the narrative style of your book? What do you hope readers take away from "Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!" in terms of personal and societal change? Can you share any personal experiences that illustrate the transformative power of "unsubscribing"? How do you balance humor with serious topics in your writing? What challenges did you face while writing this book, and how did you overcome them? What's next for you? Are there any upcoming projects or new books in the works? Here are some Key Takeaways from "Please Unsubscribe, Thanks!": The pandemic provided a unique opportunity for people to reassess their lives and prioritize genuine happiness. Modern life's relentless demands often lead to exhaustion and dissatisfaction. By "unsubscribing" from automated behaviors and societal pressures, individuals can regain control over their time and purpose. Practical advice on eliminating habits, relationships, and values that do not contribute to personal joy. Encouragement to resist the push to "return to normal" and instead create a life aligned with true desires and values. Thank you for considering an interview with Julio Vincent Gambuto. We believe his insights will resonate deeply with your audience and provide a refreshing perspective on navigating modern life's complexities.

In this week's episode, we explore some essential strategies for boosting your visibility as an author, focusing on the role of author websites, SEO, and a range of marketing techniques. Our guest, Jennifer Vance, marketing director of Books Forward, shares her expertise on how authors can make the most of their online presence. While many authors understand the need for a website, not all are using them to effectively drive traffic, attract new readers, and increase overall visibility. Even a well-designed site can be limited if it's not easily discoverable. Jennifer breaks down SEO (Search Engine Optimization), a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of online marketing, explaining how even a basic understanding can mean the difference between a thriving website and one that fades into obscurity. But she also stresses that having a strong website is just one piece of the puzzle. Diversifying your marketing approach—whether through social media, collaborations, or targeted ads—is key to building your author brand and ensuring long-term success.   Jenn Vance https://booksforward.com/   Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book?  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/   All episode details and links:  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast
