This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Marie Lu, author of RED CITY. About RED CITY: Alchemy is the hidden art of transformation. An exclusive power wielded by crime syndicates that market it to the world's elites in the form of sand, a drug that enhances those who take it into a more perfect version of themselves: more beautiful, more charismatic, simply more. Among the gleaming skyscrapers and rolling foothills of Angel City, alchemy is controlled by two rival syndicates. For years, Grand Central and Lumines have been balanced on a razor's edge between polite negotiation and outright violence. But when two childhood friends step into that delicate equation, the city—and the paths of their lives—will be irrevocably transformed. The daughter of a poor single mother, Sam would do anything to claw her way into the ranks of Grand Central in search of a better life. Plucked away from his family as a boy to become a Lumines apprentice, Ari is one of the syndicates' brightest rising stars. Once, they might have loved each other. But as the two alchemists face off across opposite sides of an ever-escalating conflict, ambition becomes power, loyalty becomes lies, and no transformation may be perfect enough for them both to survive the coming war. About Marie Lu: Marie Lu is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of more than 15 novels, including Legend, The Young Elites, Warcross, Skyhunter, and Stars And Smoke.

Being faith-filled and prayerful during this time can be difficult. Do we blame God? Do we give up? Do we lash out to others? OR do we have gratitude and stay faithful along the way. I believe that we need to stay positive and move forward with our lives and love our earth and love each other. Taking care of yourself is MORE than food, exercise, rest and vitamins...you must have faith and belief that all will be ok, as it will!!!! Stay prayerful and be praiseworthy, just like my sweet, inspiration guests, Eddie and Mary. About Eddie and Mary:Edward Grampp is a professional CG (computer graphics) artist who has worked for companies such as Disney Feature Animation, Disney Interactive Studios and Nickelodeon Animation Studios.

Mary trained for both areas of expertise at the New York Institute of Art & Design located in New York City.. She also received her Associate in Science Degree at Brigham Young University-Idaho. She is currently looking into pursuing her life-long passion for the medical field by continuing further education. In Mary’s free time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and also enjoys singing and hopes to make an album soon! They have 4 children; Eddie-11, Jacob-9, and Molly-4. Their other daughter, McKaylee, sadly passed away four years ago in an accident. She was three and a half years old, and Mary was six months pregnant with Molly (the youngest child). Eddie and Mary believe that they will see their sweet McKaylee again, and they feel her sweet presence often. Eddie and Mary have started a podcast called, ‘Praiseworthy with Mary and Eddie’ where they hope to encourage others to be more vulnerable and share their story all in hopes to help someone who may be going through a hard time.
