Ever thought about going to Book Con? Book Con is back after a 5 year hiatus and what better way to come out of our podcast hiatus than with an episode all about this large scale event.I was fortunate enough to get a press badge to cover the weekend, although I was only able to go to Day 1 because of a prior commitment. This episode covers the good, the bad, and the ugly from the longest lines imaginable to panels of your favorite authors, to being pushed and shoved on line for a free book. I break it down.I included the video even though I recorded it without makeup or a filter and HATE the way I look, so enjoy that. I even included some day of videos and pictures, which are available on Spotify and youtube.Host:Instagram: @MentorsontheMic @MichelleSimoneMillerTwitter: @MentorsontheMic @MichelleSimoneMFacebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mentorsonthemicWebsite: www.michellesimonemiller.com andwww.mentorsonthemic.comYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/user/24mmichelleIf you like this episode, check out:Becoming… International Bestselling Author Jenny Hale (Hallmark's ‘Coming Home for Christmas' and ‘Christmas Wishes and Mistletoe Kisses')Oscar Predictions with Michelle Miller, actress & podcaster on Working Girl Talk podcast

Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, Jena Brown, and Kevin Tumlinson as they discuss the week's entertainment news, including stories about printing cost changes, the vicious cycle of book publishing, and BookCon's return. Then, stick around for a chat with Peter Brown!Peter Brown has always loved telling stories. Growing up in New Jersey, he told stories by drawing whimsical characters and scenes from his imagination. As a teenager, he fell in love with writing and began telling his tales with words. While studying illustration at Art Center College of Design, Peter's love of both words and pictures led him to take several courses on children's books, and before long he knew he'd found his calling. After graduating from Art Center Peter moved to New York City to be closer to the publishing industry. He was working on animated TV shows when he signed a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book, Flight of the Dodo. Peter quickly signed up his second and third books, and his career as an author and illustrator of children's books was under way. Since then Peter has written and illustrated many books for children and earned numerous honors, including a Caldecott Honor, a Horn Book Award, two E.B. White Awards, two E.B. White Honors, a Children's Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, a Golden Kite Award, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award and multiple New York Times bestsellers. Peter lives in Maine with his wife, Susan, and their dog, Pam.

Send us a textToday we're chatting about Romantasy Bookcon, Los Angeles, 2025! This amazing convention put on by Fabled Fantasy Events was Liz and Ashley's first, but it surely will not be our last! We talk about our overall faves and fails of Bookcon (our faves being mostly the amazing community) and consequently, what our top five tips for attending your first book convention are plus 5 rookie mistakes to avoid. In short: get there early, map out a plan and get to know the layout, bring snacks and come prepared to trade treasures! We also want to emphasize how important and impactful the author panels were, by posing many of the questions to each other that we were lucky enough to see some of our favorite authors answering. Why do we appreciate a strong FMC? Who were the female characters in popular media who we looked up to? And what are the qualities in our favorite MMCs that make them special? Among several others. And don't worry, we have a rapid-fire Romantasy Bookcon smash or pass to wrap it all up.Check out these author interviews? ⬇️We interviewed Callie Hart all about her NYT Bestseller Quicksilver!

New behind the scenes information and receipts regarding cast opinions on shooting the film, Colleen Hoover's BookCon event, dueling film edits and audience viewer scores, as well as a looming Contract of Engagement that may have never been signed by Blake Lively, all continue to fill in the gaps of a dysfunctional reality far more fascinating than any authored work.

Vann LinkedIn: Danielle Vann X (Twitter): Danielle A. Vann Instagram: Get Your Life Together, Girl Facebook: Danielle A. Vann YouTube: Get Your Life Together, Girl TikTok: Get Your Life Together, Girl About our Guest: Danielle A. Vann has always had a passion, scratch that, thirst for understanding people's life stories and how those experiences are used as a benefit or detriment. Yet, it wasn't until 2016 that she turned inward and realized her own story needed to be examined and healed after a series of major life shifts, specifically the death of two parents and nearly losing her middle daughter to kidney failure within the span of forty-five days. Some call those shifts “the dark night of the soul,” as they do feel as if there is no light left in the world. However, Danielle calls them “the light of the soul” because often, it isn't until those challenging moments that the fullest expression of the person, the soul, shines! When Danielle set out to heal and fully thrive in the light of her soul, she longed for resources and support that felt intimately connected to her spirituality, mental, emotional, and physical well-being and path. Yet, no matter what she tried, outside of meditation, she continually felt disappointed by what she found. Finally, taking her healing into her own hands, she found her true calling. Now, as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, renowned Life Coach to women, Master-Level Advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, 100-hour Meditation Instructor through the IMMA, HeartMath Trauma-Sensitive Certified Practitioner, MSBR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) instructor, Sound Healing Therapist, Reiki Practitioner, Master-Level Emotional Intelligence Therapist, Emotional Freedom Tapping Practitioner, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) therapist, Positive Psychology practitioner, and trained in Energy Healing Medicine, Subconscious release, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Neuroscience, PTSD and Anxiety, Danielle has created the ultimate blueprint for getting your life together, healing, creating self-love and inner peace. This blueprint combines psychology, mind and spiritual healing, somatics, neuroscience, mindfulness, purpose work, and the development of emotional intelligence. It's a total mind, body, and soul awakening through the principles of Eastern and Western beliefs and practices. This blueprint has served thousands of women as it has been uniquely tailored to their individual journeys. Danielle's mission is to help women across the globe, whether it's through teaching, speaking, her widely popular Instagram page @getyourlifetogethergirl, her in-person/online courses, 1:1 session, or on The Get Your Life Together, Girl Podcast, where you can find meditations, mindset resets, tools and practices, and fascinating conversations with other female therapist and coaches. Vann is also a nineteen-time intentional award-winning author. Prior to working in mental health and healing, she spent years as a scriptwriter, reporter, and evening/morning news anchor. Danielle earned an Oklahoma Broadcast Education Associate award, an Associated Press Award, and an Emmy nomination. Her love of storytelling led her into writing. While Vann started her publishing career as a children's picture book author, she has expanded her genres to include Young Adult and Self-Help, which are her true passions. Her internationally award-winning Young Adult five-part series, The Whizbang Machine. Vann has received nineteen international and national awards and was named to the prestigious Texas Library Association's Texas Bluebonnet longlist. She is also an inductee of the Texas Authors Institute of History, the only museum dedicated to preserving authors' works and those who support writing and reading in Texas. In addition, Vann has penned two personal development/women's motivational books entitled: Get Your Life Together, Girl & You Are Not Broken & Your Life Does Not Suck, which are forthcoming. Danielle is also the author of Gracie Lou & the Bad Dream Eater and The Very Tall Tale of Ranger, the Great Pyrenees & His Adorable Friend, Miss Keys. In addition, she co-authored the inspirational/self-help nonfiction book Building Faith Through a Carpenter's Hand with The Learning Channel (TLC) and A&E's celebrity carpenter Brandon Russell. Her daily writings are featured on the wildly popular Instagram page @getyourlifetogethergirl. Danielle has been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, iHeartRadio, USA Network Radio, Sirius Radio, and nationally syndicated radio and podcasts around the United States and Canada. Her work has been featured in Foreword Magazine, Publisher's Weekly, Story Monster Ink, Mansfield Magazine, Mansfield Now, and at numerous book festivals, including the Bologna Italy Book Festival, the Book Expo of America, and BookCon.
