Welcome to Cryptic Soup, your after-dark podcast. In this week's episode, join Thena and Kylee to discuss the life and crimes of Joanna / Joanne Dennehy.

Episode 261 - "Book Review: Love and Rage with guest Jonathan Merker"In this deep and thought-provoking episode, Michelle and Scott sit down with therapist and educator Jonathan Merker to explore the powerful themes of Lama Rod Owens' book Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger. Together, they dive into how anger—often misunderstood or suppressed—can become a profound source of healing, truth, and personal liberation. Jonathan returns to the show and brings his expertise in trauma-informed care and emotional resilience to the conversation as they reflect on how to work with, not against, our rage in a world that often demands our silence.

I don't just count days passing by. I make each day count. -Leslie Lawrence October is breast cancer awareness month, so we're featuring the inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors. Early detection has been a game changer in the fight against breast cancer, and I'm pretty sure that never missing my yearly mammogram saved my life. Promise me that you'll NEVER miss your mammogram! Today's episode was recorded at Book Love in the Pine Hills before a live audience. www.book-love.com. A first-time author, Leslie Lawrence is a 7-year breast cancer survivor www.leslielawrenceauthor.com. Written as a photographic memoir, I'm A Lucky Woman is filled with wisdom and deeply personal pictures that tell the story of one woman's journey from diagnosis to survivorship. As the daughter of a woman who died of breast cancer, Leslie spent her adult life dreading every mammogram and hoping against hope that she would never hear the words “You have breast cancer.” Those four words were spoken when Leslie was 66, and her late mother, Isabel, remained her role model throughout her treatment for aggressive triple negative breast cancer. Blessed with a rock-solid marriage, a devoted son, a niece, and many friends who love her, Leslie's tribe lifted her up, making it possible for her to endure every challenge. Says Leslie: “It was a old, framed cross-stitch on my wall that kept me hopeful, it reads: “Today is the tomorrow that worries you yesterday and all is well.” If you are newly diagnosed, I'm A Lucky Woman is an easy read, filled with the kind of wisdom only a survivor can impart.

  Nik Young, LMFT, and Alyssa Najera, LCSW, sit down with Jeff Pishney, CEO and Founder of Love Stanislaus County and Love Our Cities. Jeff shares how the initial city-wide volunteer effort, Love Modesto (based in Stanislaus County, California), became the working model for helping over 100 cities create their own city-wide volunteer efforts and year-round initiatives. Tune in to hear more about how Love Stanislaus County and Love Our Cities got started, how city-wide volunteerism is building connections and community, and how to get started in your own city. For practical steps on starting or expanding your city's volunteer efforts, check out Jeff's recent book, Love Our Cities: How a City-Wide Volunteer Day Can Unite and Transform Your Community, co-authored by Eric Jung. Interview with Jeff Pishney “Jeff Pishney is the CEO and Founder of Love Stanislaus County and Love Our Cities. Officially beginning as a non-profit organization in 2014, these city-wide volunteer days and other initiatives have helped over 100 cities and have had over 239,000 volunteers since beginning in 2009. Jeff recognizes that more sustainable solutions are needed beyond volunteer days in order to see our cities thrive. His efforts have evolved to championing ongoing volunteerism, collaboration among leaders and initiating programs for Neighbors, Schools, Kids and Seniors. Jeff grew up in Iowa, went to college and graduate school in Virginia and has been in Modesto, CA since 1995. Prior to being CEO, Jeff was a pastor for almost 20 years. As a college pastor, Jeff started to get a vision for his community. This vision grew when he became the outreach pastor during which Love Modesto began. Jeff and his wife, Karen, have been married for 18 years and have three children. Besides loving his family, Jeff is involved at his children's activities, passionate about justice issues and cheering on his Iowa Hawkeye” (bio from lovestanislauscounty.org).

My interview with the distinguished poet and author Kenneth Maswabi. He and I had originally met on Zoom on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) or 7:00 PM Central Africa Time (CAT). Bio I am a 47 year old citizen of Botswana, Africa. I'm a General Practitioner /Medical Doctor by profession. My interest in Poetry is more spiritual as I find poetry as a medium that connects people at a spiritual level. I didn't study Poetry, I found myself writing poetry every time I was in a certain state of mind. It's like poems just flow through me. I don't plan or research topics or themes, it's just dependent on events that are happening in my life or the world. In 2021, I published a Poetry book called "Love, Consciousness and Humanity: The Path of Silence: The Shadowless Dreamer."

In LOVEBOAT FOREVER, we return to the same exciting, dazzling Loveboat summer program with a new character: Ever's younger sister, Pearl Wong. Just like Ever, Pearl has a lot to discover about herself during this summer, and the seventeen-year-old music prodigy had it all planned—until a fall from grace leaves her in need of new plans…and a new image. Where better to revamp her “brand” than at Chien Tan, the Taipei summer program for elite students that rocketed her older sister, Ever, on a path to romance and self-fulfilment years ago? But as the alumni know, Chien Tan is actually Loveboat—the extravagant world where prodigies party till dawn—and there's more awaiting Pearl there than she could have ever imagined, like a scandalous party in the dark, a romantic entanglement with a mysterious suitor . . . and a summer that will change her forever.

Ann reported on The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon (Anchor 2015)West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. Themost mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behindher house just months after the tragic death of her daughter.Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice,and her younger sister. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that hasweighty consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished. Inher search for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneaththe floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked into the historical mystery, shediscovers that she's not the only person looking for someone that they've lost. But she may bethe only one who can stop history from repeating itself.Creepy, goosebumpy, scary ghost stories aren't only for cool fall evenings. It turns out that themiddle of January in remote Vermont when it's buried in snow is also the perfect setting for apsychological thriller filled with ghosts.Written by Jennifer McMahon, this is two stories in one with the common factor the setting of anold farmhouse on a secluded road in the very small town of West Hall, Vermont. The storiesalternate: One takes place in January 1908, including flashbacks about 20 years earlier. Theother takes place in the present day, also in January. This thickly-wooded homestead includesan outcropping of giant boulders that looks so much like a hand, the area has always beencalled Devil's Hand. Wander too far into the woods, and you might not make it out alive.Something is going on here, and those who have seen it believe there are ghosts in this spookyforest.It's January 1908. Sara Harrison Shea and her husband Martin Shea live in the farmhouse withtheir little girl, Gertie, who is 8 years old. One day she is found dead, having fallen 50 feet downa well. Sara collapses in grief, but writes her fears, anguish, and hopes into a secret diary. Saracomes to an untimely and gruesome death, which remains the stuff of legend in West Hall ahundred years later. She hid her diary in one of the hidey-holes in the old farmhouse, and manypeople want to find it because in it she supposedly left instructions on how to raise the dead tolife.Meanwhile in the present-day, Alice Washburne lives in the same farmhouse with her twodaughters, Ruthie, 19, and Fawn, 6. Alice, who is widowed, has lived off the grid for about 20years. No computer. No cell phone. No links to anyone in the world. Even in this small town, noteveryone knows who she is. On New Year's Day, Alice disappears. More than anything, Alicedislikes the police, so Ruthie knows she shouldn't call the cops. (This is one of several plotpoints—some small, some big—that make the mystery work. If Ruthie did call the cops orsomeone didn't lock her cell phone in the car so she didn't have it when she really needed it,things would have worked out quite differently. A little cheesy, perhaps.) The two stories—pastand present—converge as Ruthie discovers dark secrets about her own past and thosesurrounding this strange house.This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever read, and while the plots from both time periodsare rather farfetched, the book is a page-turner. It will keep you up past your bedtime, and if youread it then, you may very well have nightmares.Tracey's book was A Dark and Snowy Night by Sally Goldenbaum, #5 in the Seaside KnittersMystery Series (Kensington 2022)It's holiday season in the picturesque, coastal town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts!

Hardly checks ifthey're okay and sees injuries on both children. Someone is hurting these kids.He reports the incident to Child Protective Service.That should be the end of it. After all, Hardly's not even good at looking out for himself so the last thing hewants to do is look out for anyone else. But he's haunted by the two kids, his heart breaking for them. And themore research he does the less he trusts that Child Protective Services —understaffed and overworked—willdo anything about it.That leaves...Hardly. He is probably the last person you'd ever want to count on. But those two kids havenobody else but him. Hardly has to do what's right and help them.For the first time in his life, Hardly decides to fight for something. This might be the one point in his entire life,he realizes, that is the entire point of his life. He will help those kids.At first, trying to gather evidence that will force the proper authorities to intervene, Hardly is a total disaster.Gradually, with assistance from unexpected allies, he develops investigative skills and discovers he's smarterand more capable than he ever imagined.But Hardly also discovers that the situation is more dangerous than he ever expected. The abusive father whohas been hurting these children isn't just a lawyer—he also runs a violent drug-dealing operation. The motherclaims she wants to escape with the kids—but Hardly isn't sure he can trust her.Faced with a different version of himself than he has ever known, Hardly refuses to give up. But hiscommitment to saving these kids from further harm might end up getting the kids, and Hardly himself, killed.TRIVIALast week's question was:Isaac Asminov was a prolific author but he had one serious phobia.. What was it?a. Fear of the number 13b. Fear of Heightsc. Fear of Closed spacesd. Fear of flyingThe answer is d. Fear of Flying.. Asimov was afraid of flying, doing so only twice: once in the course ofhis work at the Naval Air Experimental Station and once returning home from Oahu In 1946. Consequently, heseldom traveled great distances. This phobia influenced several of his fiction works, such as the Wendell Urthmystery stories and the Robot novels featuring Elijah Baley. In his later years, Asimov found enjoymenttraveling on cruise ships, beginning in 1972 when he viewed the Appollo 11 launch from a cruise ship. Onseveral cruises, he was part of the entertainment program, giving science-themed talks aboard ships such asthe Queen Elizabeth 2. He sailed to England in June 1974 on the SS France for a trip mostly devoted tolectures in London and Birmingham, though he also found time to visit Stonehenge.This week's question is:Mystery author Charlotte MacLeod had a family connection to which criminala.

Do you have any plans to write more books in this series?6. What advice would you give to aspiring writers?In addition to these general questions, you could also ask more specific questions about thebook, such as:• What was the inspiration for the character of Lily Moore?• How did you come up with the idea for the murder plot?• What were some of the challenges of writing a mystery with a theatrical setting?• What do you hope readers will take away from this book?I hope these questions help you have a productive and insightful conversation with VanessaRiley about her book!Offering “a vibrant picture of the roles Black and mixed‐race people played in Regency life”(Publishers Weekly), this unique historical mystery series, featuring a mixed-race heroine with anotorious past, will appeal to Bridgerton fans who want a sharper edge to their drama.Pressed into a union of convenience, Lady Abigail Worthing knew better than to expect love. Her marriage toan absent lord does at least provide some comforts, including a box at the Drury Lane theater, owned by theplaywright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Abigail has always found respite at the theater, away from the ton'sjudgmental stares and the risks of her own secret work to help the cause of abolition—and her fears thatsomeone from her past wants her permanently silenced. But on one particular June evening everythingcollides, and the performance takes an unwelcome turn . . .Onstage, a woman emits a scream of genuine terror. A man has been found dead in the prop room, stabbedthrough the heart. Abigail's neighbor, Stapleton Henderson, is also in attendance, and the two rush backstage.The magistrate, keen to avoid bringing more attention to the case and making Lady Worthing more of a target,asks Abigail not to investigate. But she cannot resist, especially when the usually curmudgeonly Hendersonoffers his assistance.Abigail soon discovers a tangled drama that rivals anything brought to the stage, involving gambling debts, abeautiful actress with a parade of suitors, and the very future of the Drury Lane theatre. For Abigail the case iscomplicated still further, for one suspect is a leading advocate for the cause dearest to her heart—theabolition of slavery within the British empire. Uncovering the truth always comes at a price. But this time, itmay be far higher than she wishes to pay.

Eleven-year-old Simon and his siblings, Talia and Rose, are staying the week at Nanaleen's century-old house. This time, though, it's not their usual summer vacation trip. In fact, everything's different. It's fall, not summer. Mom and Dad are staying behind to have a “talk.” And Nanaleen's house smells weird, plus she keeps forgetting things. And these aren't the only things getting under Simon's skin: He's the only one who knows that his name is Simon, and that he and him pronouns are starting to feel right. But he's not ready to add to the changes that are already in motion in his family.Buy The House That WhispersVisit our Bookshop or buy directly right now: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9780316277112We also talk about When the Angels Left The Old Country by Sacha Lamb.

Welcome to our Summer of Book Love series!Every Tuesday this summer we will feature new episodes of 7 Minutes in Book Heaven which has your next summer read! New episodes of This Queer Book Saved My Life! drop this September.Today we meet Lucian Childs and his new novel: Dreaming Home.What's it about? When a sister's casual act of betrayal awakens their father's demons--ones spawned by his time in Vietnamese POW camps--the effects of the ensuing violence against her brother ripple out over the course of forty years, from Lubbock, to San Francisco, to Fort Lauderdale. Swept up in this arc, the members of this family and their loved ones tell their tales. A queer coming-of-age, and coming-to-terms, and a poignant exploration of all the ways we search for home, Dreaming Home is the unforgettable story of the fragmenting of an American family.Buy Dreaming HomeVisit our Bookshop or buy directly right now: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781771965491Connect with Lucian ChildsWebsite: lucianchilds.comInstagram: @lucian_childsFacebook: Lucian-Childs-AuthorTwitter: @lucianchildsBecome an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Welcome to our Summer of Book Love series! New episodes of This Queer Book Saved My Life! drop this September.Every Tuesday this summer we will feature new episodes of 7 Minutes in Book Heaven which has your next summer read!Today we meet Dr. Gwen Bass and her new memoir: Immaculate Misconception: A Story of Biology and Belonging.What's it about? In the early 1980's, 95% of all artificial inseminations were performed for married, heterosexual couples. Among the other 5% were people like Gwen's parents– lesbians navigating a homophobic medical system ready to deny them children. They found a doctor willing to perform the procedure in secret, using sperm from an anonymous donor. She grew up straddling two worlds. In one–rainbow flags waved and love made a family. In the other– she and her family tried to fit in with everyone else. Immaculate Misconception isn't just a window into a sliver of queer history, it raises questions we all grapple with: who we are and the forces that influence us. It's a reflection on nature, nurture, identity, and belonging.After earning her BA in Psychology and Education, Gwen became a teacher and school counselor. She then pursued an M.Ed in school counseling and her doctorate in special education while training and mentoring teachers on practical, evidence-based tools to nurture kids' educational and emotional well-being.Buy Immaculate MisconceptionVisit our Bookshop or buy directly right now: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9798889269526Connect with Dr. Gwen BassWebsite: drgwenbass.comInstagram: @drgwenbassFacebook: facebook.com/drgwenbassLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-gwen-bassBecome an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!
