1814 BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANSCONTENTS JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 9-28-2026Analyzing Security Crises Across BattlefrontsBill Roggio and Edmund Fitton-Brown discuss multiple interconnected global conflict zones. In London, five suspects were arrested following an explosive plot against a UK air base hosting American B-1 bombers, potentially linked to Iran, al-Qaeda, or ISIS. Meanwhile, Iran offered a revised diplomatic proposal after rejecting a prior memorandum of understanding, though it lacks nuclear concessions. In Yemen, Houthi forces captured the port of Mocha and advanced southward toward the Bab el-Mandeb strait. In Lebanon, Israel maintains operations north of the Litani River while the Lebanese government fails to disarm Hezbollah. Lastly, Hamas remains unyielding regarding disarmament in Gaza. (1)Evaluating US China Diplomacy StrategySteve Yates evaluates the recent summit between President Trump and Xi Jinping, noting grand pomp but little substantive policy movement on Taiwan. A critical fourteen billion dollar arms sales package to Taiwan remains in stasis, which Yates warns increases regional security risks if delayed further. Commenting on Ambassador David Perdue's remark about selling arms to China, Yates interprets it as sarcastic banter rather than actual policy. Furthermore, Yates highlights statements from the US Pacific commander emphasizing America's military capability to inflict severe devastation in a conflict. Ultimately, Yates advocates delivering Taiwan's defense package promptly. (2)Critiquing US China Trade PoliciesAlan Tonelson expresses strong disappointment regarding recent US-China trade negotiations, which produced minor tariff concessions on labor-intensive goods that primarily relieve China's domestic unemployment crisis. Tonelson criticizes the Trump administration for failing to reinstate major tariffs counteracting China's industrial overcapacity and market dumping after earlier court rulings. He highlights how China uses its control over rare earth exports as strategic leverage, offering vague promises to restore export levels. Additionally, Tonelson notes that negotiations completely failed to tackle China's pervasive non-tariff trade barriers, warning that weak American leadership threatens long-term economic decoupling efforts. (3)Hamas Governance Stalls Reconstruction PlansSamuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio: Ben-Ur details how the Board of Peace unveiled a two point five billion dollar reconstruction plan for Gaza, which remains completely stalled because it requires Hamas to disarm and relinquish power. Hamas exhibits no intention to surrender its arms. Internal Hamas elections for its Gaza political chief resulted in a stalemate between factions backed by Doha-based leaders Khaled Mashal and Khalil al-Hayya. Meanwhile, the Board of Peace has completely excluded UNRWA from reconstruction efforts. Though massive humanitarian aid prevents famine, roughly two million Gazans endure harsh tent conditions while Hamas continues seizing aid for profit. (4Examining Hezbollah Deterrence and RegenerationDavid Daoud and Bill Roggio: Daoud examines how Hezbollah uses unclaimed FPV drone strikes in southern Lebanonto test Israeli and American resolve while maintaining media narratives of victory. Daoud criticizes the Lebanesegovernment for demanding full Israeli withdrawal before addressing Hezbollah's disarmament, repeating post-2006 failures. Furthermore, Lebanese Armed Forces deployments in pilot zones lack any mandate to confront Hezbollah, seizing minor ammunition rather than heavy weaponry. Under Naim Qassem's quiet leadership, Hezbollah relies on unsanctioned crowdfunding entities like Watawanu to fund social services and maintains weapons smuggling via Syriato sustain its long-term regeneration. (5)Houthi Offensives Escalating Across YemenBridget Toomey discusses the intensifying Houthi military offensives across Yemen, specifically targeting the strategic Taiz governorate. After seizing coastal territory down to the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Houthi forces are pushing into mountainous highlands to encircle Taiz city and cut off key supply roads. Toomey explains that Houthi advances are enabled by deep divisions among eight anti-Houthi coalition factions, Houthi control of national telecommunications infrastructure, and extensive Iranian operational support. By moving resources onto coastal islands and isolating government forces, the Houthis ultimately aim to encircle Aden and solidify single-party rule over all of Yemen. (6)Assessing Syria Governance Under SharaAhmad Sharawi analyzes Syria's political transformation under Ahmed al-Sharaa following the collapse of the Assadregime. Sharawi highlights controversial army appointments, including Omar Jeffi—a Turkish citizen and former HTSmember—to lead the Damascus division. During a Western media interview, al-Sharaa evaded explicitly renouncing his past oath of allegiance to al-Qaeda, deflecting questions as past history rather than demonstrating genuine ideological reform. Sharawi notes that Turkey uses Syria to project regional power into Lebanon and Iraq while securing lucrative reconstruction contracts, though al-Sharaa's attempt to balance relations among Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Israel will inevitably trigger regional friction. (7)Analyzing Strategic Waterways Regional ConflictsEdmund Fitton-Brown examines maritime choke points in the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, highlighting how Iranian proxies strategically target Saudi oil transit routes. Fitton-Brown urges skepticism regarding Iran's temporary proposal to reopen Hormuz, warning against accepting deals that ignore Iran's nuclear program. He notes that the Saudi-Turkey-Pakistan defense pact lacks practical military enforcement in Yemen. Furthermore, deep personal friction between leaders in Saudi Arabia and the UAE led to Emirati troop withdrawals, weakening anti-Houthi forces as Houthis advance toward Taiz, Marib, and Aden. Fitton-Brown calls for a unified US strategy addressing Iran and Yemen together. (8)Unpacking Iran Global Operations StrategyJanatyn Sayeh exposes Tehran's global coercion strategy, including the crowdsourced intelligence platform Alaj used to target dissidents and Western interests. Commenting on arrests near a UK airbase hosting American forces, Sayeh explains how Iran contracts organized crime gangs, Hell's Angels, and ideological operatives for transnational plots while routinely denying state involvement. Domestically, the IRGC is increasingly militarizing society—training civilians, women, and youth—in preparation for enduring conflict. Meanwhile, a rebranded Baloch insurgency demonstrates heightened military and intelligence capabilities against IRGC commanders. Sayeh concludes that former Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi represents the most viable opposition leadership option. (9)Countering Chinese Influence In MicronesiaCleo Paskal details the geopolitical contest between the US and China in the Federated States of Micronesia, focusing on Yap state. A Chinese state-owned enterprise completed rebuilding an Imperial Japanese airfield on Woleai island and is expanding infrastructure across Yap. Despite US plans for two billion dollars in dual-use port and airport investments, mismanaged local engagement led INDOPACOM commander Admiral Paparo to warn of seeking alternative sites. Paskal criticizes Washington for relying on flawed advisors and artificial intelligence unsuited for non-digital Pacific societies. Consequently, China continues making strategic inroads by proposing alternative airline routes to exploit local dissatisfaction. (10)Analyzing South American Political ShiftsErnesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa analyze critical political dynamics in Brazil and Venezuela. In Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez faces immense pressure to schedule elections due to severe economic collapse, public protests, and left-wing accusations of treason following Nicolás Maduro's arrest. Meanwhile, opposition figure María Corina Machadoremains blocked from returning home. In Brazil, Araújo argues that President Lula da Silva's UN speech failed domestically because Lula ignored economic mismanagement and rampant drug cartel growth. Araújo highlights Flavio Bolsonaro's rising momentum in Brazil's election, framing it as a pivotal anti-system contest against entrenched institutional corruption. (11)

In this REWIND episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Peter Morris @petermorrisarchitects@kcawlondon Peter Morris is primarily an architect, who has been running his own practice for over a decade. But his other creative work – as an artist, illustrator, model-maker and designer of products and interiors – has always sat alongside his architectural work, and he loves to bring the colour, quirkiness and joy of his artworks to his buildings wherever possible. The sculpture joining KCAW ART TRAIL this summer is a Wendy House version of a house that Peter is about to start building for his family, in North London, called The Cloud House – and the story of how this lifelong dream came into being has deep roots in the K&C borough. Commenting on the theme of this year's Kensington + Chelsea Art Week, Peter said: “Kensington & Chelsea changed me, and this artwork reflects and celebrates that change.” For more information on the Kensington Chelsea Art Week & Trail go to https://www.kcaw.co.ukTo Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsFor full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.co.ukEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.comSocial Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.

Are you waiting for a sign from Spirit before making a decision or taking action? If you keep asking for confirmation, looking for spiritual signs, or wondering whether you are making the right choice, the real issue may be less about guidance and more about trusting yourself. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores the relationship between spiritual guidance, intuition, faith, free will, and decision-making. She explains how signs from Spirit can offer confirmation, clarity, and a broader perspective, but they are not meant to make your choices for you. You'll also hear why being spiritually connected does not automatically mean you are living what you know, how childhood patterns can still influence highly intuitive people, and why faith is not the same as waiting passively for divine timing. Spiritual growth is meant to help you live your human life, not put it on pause. If you have been overthinking a decision, waiting for the Universe to give you permission, or questioning whether you can trust your intuition, this episode will help you look at guidance differently. You can receive support from Spirit, make a choice, take action, and trust that the next step will become clearer as you move forward. Sometimes the sign does not come before the action. Sometimes taking action is what allows the next answer to appear. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes special returning Guest and Dear Friend Dr. Yana Greenberg Date: September 15th, 2026 EP: 771 DISCUSSION: - Tonight's guest is Dr. Yana Greenberg, a clinician and multidisciplinary scholar whose private practice, with its large and varied client base, supplied the ground on which her new book stands. The SOUL Code: 72 Mirrors of Self pairs the 72 angels of the Shem HaMephorash, a lineage preserved by the French Kabbalistic school, with the 72 demons of the old Goetic grimoires, and reads each pair as an exact description of how a human strength turns against itself. The premise is simple to state and demanding to live with. Each of us carries a gift that formed early in life, and each gift casts a shadow made of whatever we repressed to keep that gift intact. The angel names the gift. The demon names the shadow, and it does so with a precision that the grimoire writers never intended as psychology, yet the descriptions hold, sign for sign, when placed beside what walks into a consulting room. Dr. Greenberg treats these traditional attributes as maps of arrested repetition, the loops we return to because some part of us stopped growing at the moment of a wound. More than 360 such patterns appear in the book, each named and each traced to its developmental root. The birth date and time yield a reader's personal angels, and with them the personal demons, so the book reads differently for each person who opens it. At its center sits a four part method the reader repeats until the pattern loosens its grip, See, Own, Unmask, Live. Nothing in it requires belief. The angels and demons work as mirrors, and a mirror asks only that we look.

Zak Mir talks to Mark Segal, CEO of Gaming Realms (AIM: GMR), the developer and licensor of mobile-focused gaming content, after the announcement of its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2026.The company reported strong growth in the core content licensing business; revenue up 12% and Adjusted EBITDA margins expanding. UK revenues returned to growth despite a near doubling of Remote Gaming Duty. Core content licensing revenue increased 23% in the two months post-period compared to the same period in 2025. UK revenues return to growth despite near doubling of Remote Gaming Duty Core content licensing revenue increased 23% in the two months post-period compared to the same period in 2025 Gaming Realms plc reported interim results for the six months to June 30, 2026, showing a 12% increase in content licensing revenue to £13.0m, contributing to total revenue of £15.5m, a slight decrease from £16.0m in the prior period, largely due to a significant drop in brand licensing revenue.Adjusted EBITDA, excluding brand licensing, grew 16% to £5.9m, with margins expanding to 40%, indicating strong operational leverage in the core business.The company launched content in four new regulated markets and saw UK revenues return to growth, up 3%, despite increased gaming duty. Net cash stood at £13.5m after returning £6.0m to shareholders via share buybacks.Commenting on the first half performance, Mark Segal, Chief Executive Officer, said:"The first half results reflect the continued execution of our strategy and the early benefits of the increased investment we made in content and platform capability in the second half of 2025. Core content licensing grew 12% driven by new market launches, 22 new operator partners and an expanding portfolio of Slingo and Lucky Lunar titles."Our UK business demonstrated real resilience, growing revenues despite the near-doubling of Remote Gaming Duty. We are now live in 34 regulated markets following our post-period launches in Alberta, Canada and Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, and we expect that investment to convert into an increased games release volume in the second half."The Board is confident in the Group's outlook for the future, and for the remainder of the year."

How do you find inner peace when the world around you feels uncertain? Inner peace doesn't mean ignoring what's happening, shutting down your emotions, or walking through life in a constant state of calm. It means learning how to recognize what you're feeling, regulate your response, and return to yourself when stress, fear, or uncertainty pulls you off center. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores why inner peace is not who you are, it's what you practice. She shares how faith, journaling, breathwork, movement, and simple pattern interrupts can help you move from automatic reactivity to conscious response. You'll also learn why your emotions are valuable information, how to stop emotionally living inside a future that hasn't happened yet, and how to train your nervous system to recover more quickly when life feels overwhelming. You'll leave with a simple seven-day inner peace practice designed to help you build greater emotional regulation, clearer internal signals, and more confidence in your ability to handle whatever comes next. Reflection questions include: Where are you reacting to something that hasn't happened yet? How does your body tell you that you're losing your inner peace? And what practice can you consistently use to help you return to yourself? You don't have to wait for the world to become peaceful before you begin practicing inner peace. Thanks for listening.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes special Guest Jason Thornton Date: September 9th, 2026 EP: 768 DISCUSSION: I am very pleased to welcome Jason Thornton as he discusses his book “ Why Me? Life, Trauma and Alien Encounters”. This is no ordinary survivor's tale. It's a saga of interstellar origins and earthly trials. After decades of defying fate, through childhood trauma, brushes with death, and defiance behind prison wall, Jason faced something no human training could prepare him for: an encounter with beings not of this world. The Pleiadians came...and sixty Star Seeds followed. Now, with the chaos behind him and the cosmos etched into his story, Jason reveals a journey that is both brutal and transcendent, yet continues to evolve in ways that he never thought possible for himself! Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you All!!! About Jason: Jason Thornton was born in Burnley, Lancashire in 1971 (UK), and has spent nearly five decades rooted in the same family home that shaped him. A proud Aquarius standing 6ft tall, he's the youngest of three siblings, with deep ties to his devoted mother, Sandra. Life hasn't always followed a smooth arc, and his journey has been coloured by both absence and resilience. Driven by the need to shed the weight of personal truths, Jason penned his story not just as catharsis—but as a beacon for others to speak, write, and heal. His words are not just a release, but an offering. The Book: WHY ME ? Life, Trauma And Alien Encounters - Born beneath cold hospital lights in 1971, Jason Thornton was never meant to walk a quiet road. His life unfolded like a prophecy of resilience—where monsters masqueraded as men, prisons became crucibles, and truth came not from scripture, but from the stars. This is no ordinary survivor's tale. It's a saga of interstellar origins and earthly trials. After decades of defying fate—through childhood trauma, brushes with death, and defiance behind prison walls—Jason faced something no human training could prepare him for: an encounter with beings not of this world. The Pleiadians came… and sixty Star Seeds followed. Now, with the chaos behind him and the cosmos etched into his story, Jason reveals a journey that is both brutal and transcendent. If you believe in fate, in fire-forged strength, or in destinies shaped among the stars—this is your invitation.

This later led to a request that would change everything for him.

His books have been taking vampire fans on a journey of their own, leaving a trail of rave reviews and one award thus far, and it's only the beginning.

Are you afraid of making the wrong decision? Sometimes the hardest part of making a choice isn't the decision itself. It's the uncertainty that comes with not knowing how things will turn out. We can get stuck looking for the perfect answer, asking other people what they think, waiting for a sign, or hoping something outside of us will simply take control. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores what happens when fear, control, regret, and self-trust all collide in the decision-making process. You'll learn why choosing one path can feel like losing another, why the road you didn't take can look better simply because you never had to live it, and why self-trust isn't about always making the "right" choice. This conversation also looks at the role of faith and free will. A higher power can guide and support you without making your decisions for you. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is allow yourself to sit in the gap, stay with the uncertainty, and trust that you can handle whatever information comes next. You don't have to know the whole outcome. You only need enough trust in yourself to choose your next step. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member. Rating, Commenting and reviewing the podcast helps us to reach a greater number of lives. Stay in touch with us between episodes and join us in the This Life or Something Better Facebook Group. There, we'll share bonus episodes, run challenges and provide you with some additional inspiration as you reach for your Something Better.

For so many people, a single body comment has stayed with them for years. Someone remarks on what's on your plate, or how you look compared to last time they saw you, and you stand there without knowing what to say. Commenting on bodies got normalized somewhere along the way, and most of us were never given the language to push back on it. But what if you already have the right to end that conversation, and the only missing piece is knowing what to say? In this episode, we talk about what happens when people comment on your body, your food, or your weight, and what you can actually say back. Between the three of us we have lived this from opposite sides. Comments about being too thin, comments about gaining weight, comments in a larger body, comments filtered through cultural norms where remarking on appearance is the first thing out of someone's mouth. What we bring to this conversation is a range of responses that fit different relationships, different rooms, and different levels of energy on any given day. In this episode, you will discover: The reason a comment about your body says almost nothing about your body What most people never realize they are doing when diet culture teaches them that commenting is helpful The one question to ask yourself before you decide whether to respond at all Why unsolicited advice about your health so often arrives dressed as concern What setting boundaries actually sounds like with the family member you cannot avoid What to say when someone celebrates their own weight loss Why food comments at a party are rarely about the food What body shaming looks like when it comes wrapped in a compliment The part of body autonomy that requires no explanation from you to anyone Why food freedom includes eating without explaining your choices Protecting your body image does not require a confrontation, and this episode shows exactly what it does require.

I'm Feeling Tired and Overwhelmed. How Do I Stay Connected to My Business? How to stay connected to business... even when you're feeling overwhelmed.

So often when things happen in our personal lives, the business can take a hit as well. So if you're feeling drained by something right now — health, family, the uncertainty in the world, your body going through changes — this episode is for you. Instead of asking "How do I get motivated again??", ask yourself this instead: "What is one small way I can show up for myself to stay connected in business today?"

Unlimited energy. Unwavering devotion. But they're not. Every business has seasons. Growth, creativity, consolidation, and seasons where life simply needs more of your attention elsewhere. You don't have to fight the season. It's okay to navigate through it, accepting it for what it is. What You'll Discover in Episode 374: "I'm Feeling Tired and Overwhelmed. How Can I Stay Connected to Business?"

What happens when the life you've known no longer fits? Retirement, divorce, empty nesting, the loss of a parent, the end of caregiving, or another major life transition can leave you wondering, "What comes next?" And sometimes the hardest part isn't the change itself. It's the empty space that comes after it. In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla talks about what it really means to live your life by design. Not by following another set of rules or creating the perfect five-year plan, but by questioning the old programming that shaped your choices and creating room to discover what you want now. You'll explore how life transitions can become an opportunity to stop living on autopilot, reconnect with yourself, and focus less on goals and more on the experiences you want to have in this next season of life. If you're starting over after divorce, adjusting to retirement, navigating an empty nest, moving through grief, or simply feeling stuck in a life that no longer feels like yours, this episode offers a different way forward: create space, stay curious, and begin making conscious choices that reflect who you are today. Your something better doesn't have to be fully figured out. It can begin with one question: What do I want to experience next? Thanks for listening.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes Kevin Dermot O'Doherty for an Outer Realm Replay/Revisit Date: August 4th, 2026 Episode: 753 Discussion: Kevin will be talking about his latest book "Encounters on The Edge of The Etheric" Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Rumble: TheOuterRealm X - MicheleDerocher Website: www.theouterrealmradio.com Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Kevin: Kevin was the church president of Waterloo Spiritualist Church, Liverpool, UK, for many years but is no longer attached to any religion or organisation. He is also a multi-award-winning filmmaker with many hours of production and broadcast credits to his name, including managing a TV studio for the Uk's ITV network. He was a regular on Liverpool's City Talk FM as an esoteric pundit and guest with Lady Snake on the Psychic Surgery lunchtime phone-in. Kevin is currently engaged in searching out the Faery Folk following his life-changing encounter with them in September 2023 when he returned to his ancestral home on Valentia Island, County Kerry, Ireland, follwing te death of his father. Dissatisfied with his current publisher, Kevin has set up his own imprint called Valentia Press, name after the Irish island from which his family hail. He holds two black belts with the World Ju-Jitsu Federation. About The Book: -These are Kevin's personal, previously unpublished files and records that he has kept over the years. These are cases where the unseen world has visited upon our realm, and Kevin has been instrumental in resolving a dark situation by bringing The Light. He now feels led by that same Light to share these things with you to provide a wider understanding that all is not what it seems to the empire of the human being. He hopes this little collection of cases provides you with entertainment, information, and a deeper thinking into the nature of our earthly realm, who or what controls it and why. These accounts represent a personal selection and are not of the usual kind written by mediums and clairvoyants who would have you believe in a perfect layer cake of earth, astral and spirit. You will discover, as he has, that there is much more in between the strata and, indeed, beneath. Some of these cases involve high strangenessand weirdness and challenge your everyday understanding of things.

Have you made it through something difficult but still feel like part of you is living inside the experience? In this episode of This Life or Something Better, Priscilla explores the difference between surviving a painful chapter and truly becoming resilient through it. Resilience is not only about getting through hardship. It is about adapting, changing your relationship with the story, and choosing how you want to live afterward. Priscilla shares how her father's passing became the beginning of her spiritual path and explains how repeating a painful story can keep your mind, body, and energy connected to the past. Using her 4A Process - Awareness, Acceptance, Awaken, and Action - she offers a practical way to move from survival mode into greater strength, purpose, and possibility. Your story is part of you, but it does not have to be the place where you remain. Thanks for listening. If you find this episode helpful, please share it with a friend or family member.

This is one of the most difficult passages of Scripture. The first hearers were confused and many stopped following. We will tackle the teaching about eating His Flesh and drinking His blood head-on in this message. Flesh & Blood Todd Jaussen Download Sermons Archive RSS John 20:30-31 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. 1 John 4:2-3 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.2 John 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Hebrews 10:19-20 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, Commenting on vs. 56 …“The eating and the drinking has to do with shared life, mutual indwelling. In the physical realm one of the most powerful examples of shared life is eating and drinking- the laying down of life by a plant of animal and the interpenetration of life as molecules are transferred, thereby nourishing life. So once again Jesus' mystifying words are referring to something that could not be understood until after His death, resurrection and ascension and the coming of the Spirit. His death will be the ultimate laying down of life; His resurrection, ascension and sending of the Spirit bring onto the human scene the new possibility of actually sharing in the life of God (John 17:21-23) as He, the incarnate one, has shared in our life.” Rodney Whitacre, The Book of John. “The "eating and drinking," without which there is no life in us, means that reception of Christ's sacrifice which takes place when a man believes on Christ crucified for salvation. It is an inward and spiritual act of the heart, and has nothing to do with the body. Whenever a man, feeling his own guilt and sinfulness, lays hold on Christ, and trusts in the atonement made for him by Christ's death, at once he "eats the flesh of the Son of man, and drinks His blood." His soul feeds on Christ's sacrifice, by faith, just as his body would feed on bread. Believing, he is said to "eat." Believing, he is said to "drink." And the special thing that he eats, and drinks, and gets benefit from, is the atonement made for his sins by Christ's death for him on Calvary.” J C Ryle Sermon Discussion Questions:What is a metaphor and how is Jesus' teaching here "metaphorical"? What does He NOT mean by this use of language (hint: literalistic, cabalistic, ritualistic)? What DOES He mean: (hint: what is He saying about the atonement, believing, union)? Have you believed upon Jesus in a way that can only be described as eating and drinking?

A comment exchange on FB led to today's question. Commenting on a cover of an issue of Ancient Warfare Magazine, Michael asked, "I still don't know what evidence there is for the striped headwear. Is it a trope?" Jeffrey replied, "Now I am curious too. Maybe a topic for Ancient Warfare Answers Podcast to answer:" Ask, and you shall receive. Murray explores.

We need to talk about the comments. The comments about weight loss, weight gain, "you look so good," "have you lost weight," the ones that feel like compliments but land somewhere else entirely. In this episode of UNSUBSCRIBE™, Ginny shares a memory that resurfaced recently and unpacks why body commentary, even the "nice" kind, keeps us tethered to an outdated value system, especially in the middle of the GLP-1 cultural moment. With insight drawn from a close family member's work as a dietitian specializing in eating disorder recovery, Ginny walks through how to apply the UNSUBSCRIBE™ Filter to body talk: what to MUTE, what to BLOCK, and most importantly, what to SWAP it for instead. If you've ever commented on someone's body (or even your own) and wondered if you should have, this episode is for you.

In an effort to enlarge on books that have been influential to me, I thought that I would just walk through the video of the walk-through of Paul Washer's library and enlarge on his comments to just add additional information. Some background information, and a couple of comments from Charles Spurgeon's Commenting and Commentaries.

How can horror writing help readers — and writers — work through psychological trauma? Why does cross-genre fiction take longer to find an audience, but pay off in the long run?

Transcript of the interview with P.D. Alleva Jo: P.D. Alleva is the award-winning author of horror, sci-fi, thrillers, and fantasy books. He's also a psychotherapist. So welcome, Paul. PD: Thank you very much. Thank you for having me. This is a great opportunity. I love doing interviews, and I love talking to great people. Jo: Oh, good. Well, first up— Tell us a bit more about you and how you got into writing and being an indie author. PD: So I've been writing since I was a kid, at least second grade and more than likely even before that. I've always had that creative itch. Getting into indie author publishing, I published my first book in 2011. At the time I was also operating my own business, which took up about 24 hours of my time every single day. Then I kind of got through that and sold that in 2016, and I'm like, you know what? The time has come. I'd always written books, poetry, short stories, but never really did anything with them because I just didn't have the time. So in 2017, that's when I really came out and said, all right, the time is now. Indie publishing was doing great. The one good thing I do love about Amazon is they allowed us to come out there and start showing our craft to people. So in 2017, I just started—let's do this. Let's write full time. Let's put books out there. Let's be creative. Let's really get those juices flowing. Plus, I was getting a little bit old, and I was like, now is definitely the time to do this. Since then I've been publishing consistently, and most of my books are horror books, but I dabble. I have a sci-fi series, and I'm starting to get into psychological thrillers too. I've got a new psychological thriller that'll be published in early 2027 called Girl on a Mission. For the most part, I'm definitely into the horror genre—books, short stories, all that good fun stuff. Jo: Right, so a couple of follow-ups. You said you're a bit old. Can you give us what decade you're in at least? PD: Well, I'm 51, so born in 1971. Jo: Oh, there you go. Same age as me. PD: All right, good. See that? So we're going head-to-head there. Jo: I don't think that's old at all. Also, you mentioned you sold your business in 2016. So what was your business before? Because I think business experience is so important. PD: Agreed 100%. So I'm a psychotherapist, and I had owned a treatment centre for mental health and addiction. That was started in 2011, and in 2016 is when it sold. Since then, my wife and I started a private practice. So I still, even to this day—well, about a year and a half ago is when I stopped. I specialise in trauma, PTSD, and addiction. Trauma mostly. Most of my caseload has always been trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, war-type trauma. I was doing that mostly individually since 2016 in private practice, and I'll still go into treatment centres and see patients there too, specifically for trauma. About a year and a half ago is when I started wanting to do writing 100% full time. I thought about becoming a professor, maybe going to college, but then I wasn't sure if I wanted to get into that full time, as far as a caseload and school and everything like that. So I decided to just do group therapy, group facilitation, and I've been doing that consistently since then. It may be 15 hours a week. I do love to give back, and to me, it's more what I teach. I specialise in neuro-linguistic programming, bilateral stimulation or EMDR, hypnotherapy, science of mind concepts, psychopharmacology, biological bases of behaviour—which is pretty much how your brain works—ancient wisdom, quantum physics. I do this in a drug addiction treatment centre mostly, also mental health. And of course, just living an addictive lifestyle is traumatic, too, in and of itself. So pretty much I'm teaching them. Behaviour modification is a big part of what I'm teaching during that time. You'll see that, too, if you read my books. There's two things you can figure out from my books. You can figure out how to murder people and get away with it, and two, you can figure out how to overcome trauma as well. The whole “murder people and get away with it” comes from my upbringing. I have a very sorted past, let's put it that way. My upbringing was very different than what most people grow up in. Jo: Oh, can you give us any more than that? Now everyone's like, “Oh.” PD: “What's going on with this guy, right?” So I grew up, let's say, quote unquote, “in an Italian New York family.” Jo: Okay. All right. PD: That might give people ideas, right? Jo: That's going to give people a lot of ideas. PD: If you've ever seen the movie Goodfellas, I kind of grew up in that atmosphere, and with even some of those people too. My family had connections to those people in that movie, which I find very funny. If you watch that movie with me, you get a very different perspective on what's going on in the movie. Jo: Wow. So you're an interesting guy with an interesting background, with a very interesting backstory job as well. Some people are like, “Well, of course he's writing horror because horror is just awful and full of slasher gore and all that.” I often have to say to people who don't read horror, “Look, it's not like that.” Maybe some of it is, sure. But most of it isn't. Could you talk about how reading and writing horror can also be psychologically healthy? How do these worlds intertwine for you? PD: Well, sure. It 100% can be healthy. Especially over the last few years, there's a trend going on out there right now where people are taking their trauma and putting it into a creative process through poems, short stories, and even novels. They're taking their trauma and giving it a face, like a monster, where people are overcoming that monster within the creative process. I always say that horror is the genre that puts on display, better than any other genre out there, the human condition. Why is that? When people are in a terrifying situation, you really see who they are. You get to the heart of the matter of who that person is by putting them in these horrific but undefinable situations where it's like, what are they going to come out as? That real true personality needs to come out, and that courage comes out. That's huge in horror, and I think horror gets such a bad name. Now, I know there's the extreme horror and the splatterpunk, and that has its kind of role too in what I'm saying, but that's where horror is getting its bad reputation out there with the over-the-top type of gore. For the most part, that's a small part of the horror genre. It's a subgenre for a reason. It has its readership, and that's fine. Nothing wrong with it. I read it all the time. I find a lot of joy in it, a lot of excitement. However, for the most part, any horror novel that is not completely with the gore and stuff like splatterpunk can be seen as a psychological thriller, and a lot of psychological thrillers can be seen as a horror novel. Look at books like The Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon. That's horrific as well, but if you read the novel, it's in there. It just gets that bad rap right now, and it's not all gore. Most horror novels that I read today are psychological horror. It's tame on the gore, and the psychological aspect is there. I always see that psychological aspect—it's like psychological trauma. Most people, even in my industry, when people are out there and you mention trauma, PTSD, they're thinking about sexual abuse, physical abuse, or war-type trauma. The silent psychological one—I once wrote an article called “Emotional Trauma: The Silent Psychological Killer.” The one that's out there is the psychological trauma, the emotional trauma that is widespread. Most people go through that, and it could even be from parent to child, and most people don't understand that that's a traumatic experience. It's like a distortion of reality that you're experiencing that then creates a belief system in your brain, and you're constantly acting out that belief system. That's where the psychological component of horror really comes out. People breaking through that psychological belief system that was created through a traumatic experience by reaching courage and coming out through a horrific situation. Jo: Yes, it really annoys me, because with romance, of course people understand that romance is a huge genre. Something like a small town sweet romance is a world away from the bully romantasy, dark, or mafia. Mafia romance is a really big thing with very dark themes. I'm like, well, how can you understand that romance is a huge genre with all these different subgenres, and not think that horror or thriller or fantasy or sci-fi all have so many different subgenres within them? I personally read a lot of supernatural horror, but rarely the slasher gore kind of stuff. So I'm really glad you said that, and hopefully more people will open up a bit more. I did also want to ask you about what you write. You write all these different things. You write standalone—I mean, often horror is standalone—but you also have some series. How do you balance it? What are the benefits of cross-genre writing, but also the challenges of it? PD: Okay. So obviously I love cross-genre writing. To me, I use fantasy to explain the supernatural elements. I blend mostly a tad of fantasy to help explain the supernatural components in my supernatural novels. When I write sci-fi, specifically sci-fi, that has the fantasy element in it too, but there's also a tad of horror in there as well. It's just who I am. When I grew up, I had a lot of different influences. I had Star Wars on one side, and then I'm watching B-rated '80s slasher films on the other side. Those two mixes just kind of followed me throughout my life, and that's why I like putting them into my novels. As I tell my patients, don't limit yourself. Never limit yourself. If you're just limiting yourself to one genre, you're missing out on so much more that's out there. So I love the blend of mixing genres. It just gets my goat each and every time. It is a challenge though. I remember when I first started getting into indie publishing, I was never big into Facebook and social media up until I started becoming an indie author. Before that, with my type of upbringing, you don't advertise yourself. You don't advertise where you're going. That's a big no-no. So I always had this aversion to social media. I'll tell you a funny story. It was the late 2000s, probably 2006. I was a full-time single father at that time, and I was living in Florida. My family—brothers and sisters-in-law—were living in New York, and my sister-in-law said, “Get a Facebook account so we can see pictures of the kids.” I said, “Oh.” I didn't want to do it, but I said, “Okay,” so I did it. And I'm thinking, looking at this Facebook thing, “How do I put pictures on here?” So I figured out how to put pictures in folders. Then I phone called her, and I'm like, “Okay, so they're on there.” And they're like, “Well, where are they?” I'm like, “I put them in these folders. You can go and look at them.” She's like, “No, you've got to post them.” That to me was like, “I'm not posting pictures of my kids.” That was a big no-no. It didn't click. When I got on there finally in 2016, 2017, I'm like, “Okay, so I need to figure out social media. As an indie author, I need to be on there, so I need to get through this aversion and get on there.” I started noticing how people are so particular with their genres. If they're reading a romance, it had to be very specific with that exact type of romance, and if you deviated from it, they're not going to like it. So that was the challenge. I was like, “All right, number one, I'm not going to dilute myself” and say, “All right, take things out of my writing or out of my novel just so I could cater to a certain type of audience.” I'm like, “I'm not going to do that.” I know with me, myself, as a reader, I'll read everything. I don't limit myself to a specific genre. I'll read psychological thrillers. I'll read romance. I've been doing that all my life. So I'm like, if there's a person like me out there—and look at this, I just met like four other people who also read cross genres—then I know that there's at least another 30,000 people, and I know that at least then there's 300,000, then there's three million people out there. So just write the books that you're writing and find your audience. Now, that takes longer. So you've got to chip away. Chip away. You're going to find readers here and there, and then that reader kind of tells a few people about you, and then you've got a few more readers. Then you keep going, and you go on these Facebook groups, and you do a whole bunch of different things, and then you gather a few more readers. Then they're telling some friends, and then you've got more. The process takes a lot longer, yes, 100% agreed, but I would say be true to yourself and you can never go wrong. Jo: Yes, I agree. I write cross-genre as well, and I've browsed your collection. Golem was the one I was like, “Ooh, yes, I like that one.” I haven't read it yet, it's on my list. I think when you're cross-genre, my people come to my store as well, and it's like, “Okay, I'm interested in lots of things, but this is the one by this author that I'm interested in.” Whereas with other authors who only write one type of thing, then I might not like any of their stuff. So I think there are definitely pros and cons and different ways into our world. I also wanted to ask you about the differences in business. Obviously you ran this treatment centre and there were physical humans on all sides, and now you've got a business as an author. So what have you learned in business from what you used to do and what you do now? PD: Okay. You're right. The treatment centre industry is very different from what I'm doing now, but it's still people. Treat those people right, have integrity. If you say you're going to do something, follow through with it. My word is my bond type of thing. That definitely has fed into the writing and publishing industry that I'm in now in a huge way. Just connecting with people is, to me, the biggest part of it. I mean, treatment centres, you've got to connect with people. When I would market the treatment centre, where would I go? I would go to hospitals, residential facilities, detoxes, and talk to them about my programme and why they should be referring clients there. It's the same thing here. Why should you be reading my books? You get there through interviews like what I'm doing here with you. Other podcasts. You get there by doing Facebook Lives, TikTok. I haven't started TikTok Lives yet, but I actually love that platform. I'm falling in love with it. IG Lives, anything like that where you're talking to people and you're making a connection with those people. Through that, I've gathered so many different types of readers who are like, “Yes, I'll give this book a shot.” And then they read it and they're like, “Hey, this is really good, and I'm going to read another book.” With my books, I have very different books. Golem is my psychological horror novel. It's my slow-burn psychological horror novel, heavily inspired by Frankenstein and the Pygmalion myth. It's my first true horror book that I published. Then there's Jigglyspot and the Zero Intellect, which is inspired by B-rated '80s horror movies and the old grindhouse movies of the '70s, and it's mind manipulation. It's just wild and bizarre. And then The Sleepy Hollow Incident is my Gothic tale—it's like a dark romance mixed in with Gothic horror. So I always try to put something for everyone that's out there. To me, when I'm writing, it's got to be about depth, psychological depth. I always refer to my books to be like peeling layers off a Texas-sized onion. The more you read, the more in-depth you get into not only the characters, but the story. It's just something that comes out of me. It's part of me. That's the way I always have to do it. I always have to put that depth in there. To me, that's good storytelling. When I grew up, I read a lot of classic literature. Yes, Edgar Allan Poe, but also Dante's Inferno, Milton's Paradise Lost, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the Brontë sisters. Keep going. Ray Bradbury, Ayn Rand, Daphne du Maurier, Shirley Jackson. Those to me are my books that I absolutely love. So there's a sweet science in today's fast-paced, social media type of world in marrying the depth of the old classic literature and the entertainment value that is required today for being an author. There's that sweet science behind it, and I love just hitting that nail on the head every time. Jo: So did you ever pitch traditional publishing, or have you thought about going that way? Because I also find that a lot of horror actually sits very close to literary. Like, I read a lot more literary horror than I do in some of the other genres. PD: Correct. So in the beginning, yes. Not in a long time. I maybe went to a couple of indie publishers, but as far as traditional, the Big Five publishers, I have an aversion to them for a big reason. I know people who have worked in that industry that have told me some pretty bad horror stories about those places. So I haven't sent anything to that type of place in a very, very long time. Maybe close to 20 years. Indie publishers, the small presses, yes, here and there, but even then, I'm always moving at a fast pace. So if I've got a book and I'm sending it out as a query letter, by the time that query letter is even read, I'm almost done publishing. I love that aspect of it. The control of my story, where I know where this character's going. And listen, I've got my beta readers, I've got my ARC readers. They're there to tell me, “Hey, maybe you should change this or change that.” Whether I take that advice or not, of course my editor too, is really up to me. I always put out the book that I know is the one I want to read. And to me, I haven't gone wrong in doing so. I know with traditional publishing, you sometimes get too many thoughts in the pot there. Let's put it that way. Jo: Okay, so coming back to being indie then. You mentioned Amazon earlier, but you have a store where you sell direct. Many authors are doing this now, but it can be a challenge. So what have you found are the pros and cons of your direct store? What's working? Any lessons there? PD: Okay. So I use a place called Big Cartel. They're the platform where the books are on. They're hosting my website, PDAlleva.com. The big challenge was actually just starting it. It was so overwhelming. How do I put this on there? At the time, I've got all these books, so how do I present them? I'm even going to be doing another revamp with it too, because I want better pictures—taking pictures of the books, stuff like that, instead of just having the covers on there. I also have a lot of shirts that I'm selling. So I think the biggest challenge is just getting on there and starting it. Then of course, you've got to learn a whole new platform, and the mechanics, and how people are going to be downloading, and how that's done on an e-book versus a print version of the book. So it's a huge learning curve that you've really got to put your focus on and give it time. What most people like in indie publishing is signed copies. It's a huge part of indie publishing, selling those signed copies. People love a signed copy, and that's primarily what my website is for. You can order signed copies from me. I also use a place called IngramSpark, and they're more like a distributor. They're used by everyone. They've been around for a very long time. Traditional publishing uses them too, and they're just distributing your novel. I'd say about a year ago, maybe two years ago, they started where you can sell your books on discount through them as well. So I have that on my website too, where you're just clicking on the book and you're pretty much going directly to their site and you're buying paperbacks and hardbacks at a discount. That's going well too. For the most part, people are definitely coming to my site because they want the signed copies. A good thing with indie publishing is limited editions, first print copies, special editions. That type of stuff really just takes off. People love to see that, especially in the indie community. You can sell them too. I go to a few different book conventions during the year, and the limited editions are there. Like I said, people love the signed copies. They love being a part of that and getting that signed copy. They treasure it, just like I treasure my books too. I'm not referring to my books that I've written, but books that I have as well. I love my e-reader, don't get me wrong, but I still prefer the physical copy—the paperback, and even more so than the paperback, the hardback. So people love those signed copies, and that's why I created the website, to sell on there for them. Jo: Yes, I mean, we're getting to a point now though where I think some people are questioning the pros and cons of it. For example, you doing the signed copies—I don't do that from my Shopify store because I don't want to hold stock and I don't want to deal with postage. So I only do it when I do a Kickstarter. I've just finished one recently, Bones of the Deep, and I'm going up to the printer, and I'm going to sign a couple of hundred copies and then they do the postage. That's the only way I'm willing to do it because of the pain of getting books to your house, signing them, getting them in the post. So how do you manage that practically? PD: Okay, so the inventory's there. I don't go and sign everything right away. I just keep the inventory. Once somebody buys the book, then I'll pull out the book, log it and all that good fun stuff, sign it, and then ship it out immediately. Here in my country, we get discounts at the United States Post Office because they're books. So they pass that shipping cost over to the reader too, so it's a little bit cheaper for shipping. I'll just take books once or twice a week over to the United States Postal Service and ship those books out. I don't sign them until I actually get that order. Jo: How many do you have in your house? It's the holding stock of all the backlist that is the problem. PD: Ooh, gotcha. All right. That's why I have a two-car garage. But here's the thing, I won't order 500 at a time. I'll order 20 at a time. Jo: Okay. Right. PD: When I see that inventory's getting low, I'll order another 20 at a time. Jo: And you get those from IngramSpark? PD: Correct. When the new one comes out, maybe at that time I'm just selling those, bringing those to conventions that I go to. Or maybe doing a sale on those books at that time to get rid of the inventory so it's not sitting around anymore. Jo: I think that's so important. Then like you mentioned, you do T-shirts or shirts. That is also really hard because of sizing. So is that all print on demand? PD: Yes. So I don't really hold the stock on the shirts. When I get an order, whatever the size is at that time, I go directly to the place and order it. I use a place called Sublimation Station that's here in Orlando. They do great all-over print T-shirts. They're fantastic. I just did one for The Sleepy Hollow Incident. So The Sleepy Hollow Incident is one long story, and it's broken up into four books. Each book has its own. The covers are fantastic. I use a lady named Cherie Foxley. She's a phenomenal cover designer. So the shirts are, like, book one is on the front of one shirt with book two on the back, and then the second shirt is book three on the cover and book four on the back. However, I can customise those. I just did a giveaway in my Facebook group and I let people know I could customise them, and she wanted book one and book four, so I just got that and sent it out to her. Now, if people go ahead and order that on the website, I can just order it right away from them, boom, and that place will get it shipped right then and there. Jo: Right, so they do the shipping. These are all sort of practical things that people need to answer because I feel like sometimes it's like, “Oh, yes, having a direct store is great,” but there's actually quite a lot of work that goes into it, isn't there? PD: There is. There's a lot of work. You're pretty much opening almost like your own brick-and-mortar store at that point. You just don't have walk-in traffic coming in—your traffic is all coming online. So there is a lot to it, but it's worth it. If you're a self-published author or even a small indie press, it's good to have. Because like I said, people love the signed copies. Jo: When you say it's worth it, is it worth it financially or just because you like to serve the customers in that way? PD: Both. Jo: Right. So it is financially worth it for you? PD: Yes. Jo: I was talking to a friend of mine and saying, are you valuing your time in terms of things like taking the books to the post office and stuff like that? Do you find it eats into your writing at all, or do you just manage it all separately? PD: No, I manage it separately. So I'm an early morning riser. I get up at 3:00 in the morning, and that's when I write my books or do editing or brainstorming. I'm about to write a new novella now called The Adam and Eve Story, which is actually based on a little-known CIA shelved book from the 1990s called The Adam and Eve Story as well. So I've been brainstorming that, and I was doing that this morning. I get up at 3:00 a.m. and I do my writing, and by the time the kids are up and by the time the wife is up, it's like 8:00 a.m. is rolling around and I'm pretty much done at that point. Then I have my days. Tuesday I'm completely working from home and I do my thing in the morning, and then the rest of the day is marketing, fulfilling orders, stuff like that. On the days when I'm going to do group facilitation, I'll of course still get up at 3:00 o'clock in the morning, and then I'll plan out the day. I've got an hour between this group and I can go ahead and do that, and I'm already there so it's not a problem. The post office is right around the corner. You kind of figure out all the logistics for yourself. There are some days, like on Monday, I don't facilitate groups until the afternoon, so I've got the whole morning to work on marketing and do other things, and fulfilment. Then of course Saturday's a big day for that too. Jo: Oh, that's good. I feel like people always need to know how to balance their time, but it sounds like you manage, because at 3:00 a.m., as you say, there's not much else to do other than write. You mentioned marketing, and you have a Substack, pdsalternativefiction.substack.com. Talk about that and serialising fiction and how Substack works. Because I feel like a load of people are jumping in but might not necessarily know how it works, especially for fiction. PD: Correct. It is becoming quite popular out there. I think the one before that was Patreon, and Patreon is pretty big for that too, kind of the same thing. I wanted to start something and just get the work out there. I was very interested when Amazon came out a few years ago with what was called Vella. They kind of started that. I was like, “This is kind of cool.” Couple chapters at a time. I'm writing the books anyway, so why don't we kick this off and see how it goes—a type of experiment. I had a lot of fun doing it. I started on October 4th, 2024. I've done four novels so far. One is still going, which is Volume 3 of my Dark Veil serie— that's a sci-fi series. I wrote three other novels. The Hypnotist, which is a thriller, heavy on the sci-fi and a tad of horror in there too. And then I wrote Girl on a Mission, which is my psychological thriller, and then Cat Fight, which is a horror novel—all within that time. I think I finished all three of those novels in January, and then the first week of February they were all pretty much done. Now what I'm doing is, I went paid recently on the Substack. It's like everything else that's out there—chip away, chip away. I fell into that hole where they say, “Hey, we can promote you and get people to sign up for your newsletter.” And I'll be honest with you, don't do it. It's not worth it. You spend money, and what happens is they're what I refer to as dead leads. They don't click. You wind up shuffling them off after three to six months, because they're just not clicking. Everybody gets a star rating, so you know—are they clicking, are they staying on, are they not? So I got rid of pretty much all of those people, and I'll never do that again. It's got to be done organically. That's why when you read my books, especially the new books, towards the end it'll say, “Sign up for my newsletter.” I do more with that newsletter too. If you're on the free tier, every month I do a monthly newsletter, which is just me talking about updates, things going on in the publishing industry, things going on with me. My daughter puts together a weekly Horror and Sci-Fi Chronicles newsletter, which gives what's going on in new releases in the industry—sci-fi, horror, books, movies, television. She does deep dives into industry tropes, historical tidbits, and a weekly quiz. I also do a monthly Terrors and Tales newsletter. I started this last year, and it was a quarterly newsletter. It's other authors who are new, upcoming, never been published before, looking to get published. It's a chance for them to be on the newsletter where they have a flash fiction story or poem or even a short story that I publish for them. It's called the Terrors and Tales newsletter. What happened is I would put out calls for submissions. And a place called Duotrope—I don't even know who these people are, but all of a sudden I got an email from them stating, “Hey, we found that you're looking for submissions, and we posted your link. We hope you don't mind.” I'm like, “No, of course I don't mind.” I got so many submissions from that one link. I'm like, “Okay.” Do I really want to deny people? I'm not like that. I want to help promote other authors. I know what it's like when you're new and upcoming, no matter what age you are, to say, “Hey, here's a platform for you to see your stuff in print.” Obviously, I read through them just to make sure they're up to a certain standard, but for the most part, if you submit, you're getting in there. With Duotrope, I'm like, I have enough here to put out one a month. So in May 2026, the first one goes out, and then I'll have one each month until December, and then who knows? In 2027 I might go back to quarterly. I might get enough submissions to just keep it going once a month. So that's the Terrors and Tales newsletter, and it usually comes out towards the end of the month—the last two weeks. I have nothing to do with it in terms of content. None of my stories are on there. None of my poems are on there. None of my flash fiction. It's all other authors, just for them to see their name in print, see their work in print, share it with their friends, and put something on their resume, and to encourage people to keep reading and keep the craft going. Jo: When you say in print, you don't mean in physical print? PD: Oh, I mean in the newsletter. I'm sorry. Jo: I think that's important, or you're going to get a lot more submissions, and you will need to do publishing contracts and all that kind of thing. I think that's the difficult thing with a Substack newsletter approach—it's difficult to know where to categorise it. Is it marketing? Is it publishing? It's all of these things, I suppose. A bit like this podcast, it's all kinds of things. In terms of Substack actually making money on its own or leading to book sales that make money, do you think it does serve that purpose? PD: I think I've gotten more book sales through it, and also ARC readers who are enjoying the books and giving reviews. As far as the paid tiers, that's kind of a little bit slow, and that's where I'm saying chip away at it. Keep it up there. Keep it going. Over time, you're going to build that type of audience where it's going to be like, “Hey, this is financially feasible for me to continue to do this.” That's the response that I'm getting out there. Jo: Yes. Before, you mentioned you were doing Facebook Lives and you're looking at TikTok, but— Is anything else working for you in book marketing? If people have a few books and they're like, “What is working for book marketing right now?”—what do you recommend? PD: Okay. For me, the thing that has made the most sense is making sure the reader knows the book is out there through some sort of social media. I've had really good success on TikTok since the beginning of this year especially. I started it about a year ago, year and a half ago, but then my father got sick and passed away, and it was a new venture and I put it off to the side. I really got the flavour going at the beginning of this year. February, March of this year. It seems to be going really well, and I've noticed an uptick in sales from just getting the videos out there and getting it in front of people's eyes. There's an event I'm going to in August called ShiverCon, which is a pretty big event. After that event, I'm going to look to see what type of inventory I have left over from the event, and I'm going to start doing TikTok Lives. I'm very comfortable being on camera. So I'm like, “Yeah, that seems like a good way to go.” I know there's a few other horror authors who are doing it and having good success with TikTok Lives as well. A guy named Jason Davis is doing really well with TikTok Lives, and a few other authors too. I'm like, “Yes, I could definitely do that.” I want to get up to a certain number of people, and I want these events. I'm going to one in July, and then ShiverCon in August. Once those are done, I'm going to have more time to do the TikTok Lives. As far as Facebook is concerned, what I've had really great success with on Facebook is being in the groups and meeting other authors. That's not always about my book per se, but whatever books I'm reading, I'm posting my reviews about those books in those groups and meeting readers. Then obviously, they always say the three-to-one rule. Post about three different books and then post about your own book, whether you're doing a sale or a new release or a re-release or whatever. I've found success through that just by interacting with readers. When they post a book, I'll comment, “Hey, I've read that book,” or, “Hey, that book looks really cool. I like the review.” Commenting on it so you start these relationships with people who are out there in these Facebook groups. I've recently started my own Facebook reader group. I kind of go with the same thing. Last night, we did a live reading for another author. I like other authors to be on there. I always like to think, what does the reader need? What do I want to see as a reader? I would love to hear live readings from authors. So I kind of learn about them, learn about the book, and get a live reading. To me, that's a good way to go. So I started that recently, and it seems to be going well. I've got a new folk horror coming out soon, and I put out a call for ARC readers and got a fantastic response from that. That kind of drives the sales anyway, because when you get those reviews, then people see it gives credibility to the book, and then other people see it, and then they're buying it too. So that comes from the groups. There's so many wheels to spin in this industry as an indie author when you're doing this, especially when you're doing 99% of it on your own. You've got to get out there. No one's going to know your book exists if you don't get out there and tell somebody about it. Jo: Brilliant. Well, tell us— Where can people find you and your books online? PD: All right. Perfect. So obviously I'm on Amazon like everyone. Most of my books are worldwide, so you'll find them in Barnes & Noble as well. And of course, if you want the signed copies or discount print books, I always lead people straight to my website, PDAlleva.com. Then, of course, if you go to my Substack, you'll get all the updates, and you'll get all the links to purchase or find out where they are on Amazon and Barnes & Noble and things like that too. Jo: Brilliant. Well, thanks so much for your time, Paul. That was great. PD: Thank you very much for having me. It was great chatting with you.
