Patrick MacPhee is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest earning him a trip to Hollywood for a week-long master-class workshop, an awards event and his winning story will be published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41. As a young child, Patrick frequently saw his mother engrossed in a forest's worth of fantasy and science fiction novels. Wanting to join in the fun, he read his first ‘big-person' novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, when he was eight.Although far above his reading level, he pushed through, several hours a day, taking literally longer to reach Rivendell than Sam and Frodo. This magical experience hooked him on speculative fiction forever. In his teens, he was bit by the writing bug and later abandoned a degree in engineering to pursue a degree in English literature. He fell into teaching, first as a way to support his writing hobby/habit, then as a vocation where he was lucky enough to spend every day helping young people become better versions of themselves.Over a twenty-year teaching career, Patrick has taught phys-ed (i.e. dodgeball) to Fortnite-obsessed middle schoolers, the enigmatic complexity of Hamlet to university-bound high schoolers and everything in between. He has learned that almost every part of the curriculum has room for a little humor — sometimes a lot of humor. When he's not writing fantasy and science fiction, Patrick enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons with his wife and two children and going on long walks in the woods with his golden retrievers, Ciri and Arwen.http://patrickmacphee.comhttps://writersofthefuture.com/

Belinda Betker (aka Dyke Van Dick) is a prairie-born poet living in Saskatoon with her Australian wife and their rescue dog, a springer-spaniel/terrier cross. The first edition of this poetry collection was a 2020 finalist for two Saskatchewan Book Awards.Belinda's poetry and award-winning haiku are also published on-line and in various anthologies, literary journals, and chapbooks.Belinda is a founding member of two long-running Saskatoon writing groups, Sisters' Ink and The Obsessors. She was also a founding and longtime board member of the Saskatoon Writers'Collective.In Phases, Belinda Betker deftly captures what it is like for those who don't fit within rigid notions of what it means to be a “boy” or a “girl”. Capturing different phases in a life, with power and nuance she takes readers on a luminous journey of a young girl's coming-of-age, her burgeoning sexuality (and the confusion and disorientation therein), the pitfalls of an unhappy marriage, the triumphant release of coming out, and the liberating power of drag.In these poems, readers will find a celestial and transcendent re-discovering of the self, an unraveling of society's expectations of gender roles, love, and desire and how these falsehoods threaten to eclipse our truth. Phases slides through time, summoning profound memories of the loss of childhood innocence through each gendered ritual, yet the resilient heart of a tomboy who stands up to bullies and can “tie a tie better than anyone” is too powerful to suppress. Betker then takes us into adulthood-an experience cut sharp by the “dark side of the moon” with a health crisis and surgery-and the victorious recovery and unearthing of buried desire and resplendent sensuality. Phases is mercurial and unpredictable, a celebration of the non-conformist in each of us.http://belindabetker.comThe Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

The anticipated sequel to Richard Sparks book, “New Rock, New Role,” has just been released.   “New Rock, New Realm,” is a captivating tale that will enthrall lovers of epic fantasy. Told with his customary wit, Richard Sparks' skillful storytelling weaves a tapestry of adventure, mystery, suspense and emotional depth—with plenty of comic moments spicing up events as they progress.   Memorable characters, imaginative settings and challenging quests all combine to make the New Rock series an unforgettable addition to the genre.

Setting sail full of good intentions, they are soon embroiled in the eternal struggle between the forces of good and the forces of evil. The heart stopping action is interspersed with humor making it a ridiculously fun and addictive read. The idea for the books stemmed from Richard's love of gaming – something he's turned to in his later years.  Born in England, and a graduate of Oxford University, Richard started out as a writer of stage plays, comedy revues and TV, for such shows as Not the Nine O'clock News. Rowan Atkinson performed his Schoolmaster sketch in John Cleese's The Secret Policemen's Ball, and he has a host of other TV credits.

The next twenty years were spent shuttling between England and East Africa—attending Christian church wearing a St. Christopher's Cross one minute, to wearing a green armband at Muslim religious classes in Africa the next.These days, Emil and his wife (originally from the Philippines) live in Calgary, Canada. They have two sons.HEART OF NEW YORK: Stories of loss, redemption and family.The adventure continues... In his second novel—another collection of beautifully written and illustrated stories—Emil takes us through perilous, sometimes humorous, and always fascinating tales of a past and present that seamlessly intertwine to create a personal narrative that will resonate with every reader. ..“The snow-flaked, fog-bound skyline of Manhattan loomed out at him as though through a powerful magnifying glass. His family had been promised a suite from which they could "experience the breathtaking vista of magnificent skyscrapers while sipping champagne from your balcony.” No skyline could be perceived.The giant buildings stood so terrifyingly close that they obliterated any sense of perspective. Through the swirling maelstrom, row upon row of offices soared to dizzying heights, bringing on such claustrophobia that he had to turn his back to retain his balance...”  http://emilrem.ca  The Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

George Almond, the grandson of a Wyoming horse rancher, enjoys revisiting great adventures. Born in London and educated in France and Oxford University he has ridden horseback 1500 miles across Europe, worked for Calgary Stampede's Champion Chuck Wagon driver, sailed two oceans with the world's most experienced square-rig sea captain, taken the Flying Scotsman steam train from Boston to Houston where he was hired by Neiman Marcus. These days Almond makes his home in Europe, working on other books, including one about Jack Rackham and his two lady pirates who formerly sailed the Caribbean, preying upon merchant vessels.   EVEN HIGHER THAN EVEREST is a vastly entertaining, fact-based, yet dramatized story of a London cockney heiress who, in the 1930s, sent a small fleet of double winger biplanes on a daring and remarkably dangerous mission to fly over Mt. Everest and film the world's highest and most famous mountain peak.  Author George Almond met the Himalayan heroes (Sherpa Tenzing and Lord Hunt), who explained how the first aerial photographs, taken in 1933, assisted their heroic ascent of Everest in 1953. Captivated by this dazzling and little known tale, the book - Even Higher than Everest - is a dramatized recount of the tenacity of the heiress Lucy Houston and her team of prestigious aviators whose five aircraft flew to the world's highest mountains. A short 1930s film from footage of Houston's flight, titled Wings Over Everest, won an Oscar in 1936 from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.      EVEN HIGHER THAN EVEREST Publisher: Paragon Publishing, October  26, 2018 Number of pages: 274 pages, soft cover and e-book Available for purchase at Amazon.com at  https://www.amazon.com/Even-Higher-Than-Everest-Dramatised/dp/1782226249      The Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

Wayde B. Byard served for more than twenty years as the public information officer for Loudoun County Public Schools. In a previous professional life as an award-winning journalist with the Winchester Star, he reported on crime, government (sometimes government-related crime), and sports.Seemingly overnight, parents across the country joined with activist groups and political figures at all levels to engage in heated—sometimes violent—fights over issues such as COVID mandates, retrofitting bathrooms to accommodate changing gender representation, and the teaching of American history through the lens of race. At the epicenter of this outrage machine was Loudoun County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and the wealthiest county in the nation.Accused, along with the superintendent, by an ambitious, conservative governor and attorney general of covering up the crime, Byard—who most students knew from his popular announcements of snow days—was ultimately acquitted of a perjury charge but left with a troubling awareness that what happened to him could happen to anyone. In The Battle for Loudoun County, Byard sets the record straight and provides a rare window into the dangers of America's “bathroom wars” and the culture of outrage that, if left unchecked, will tear our country apart.  http://waydebyard.com   The Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

Karl Riemensperger is a proud U.S. Marine veteran, has been married to his wife Karen since 2009. They share a deep love for Labrador Retrievers, often opening their home to dogs in need of a temporary haven. Their adventures with their beloved dog Gunner, who formed a special bond with their young son Kaiden, inspired Karl to write his first children's storybook, “Gunner Gets Lucky”, because children taught early that adopting older dogs from shelters and rescues groups is often far more rewarding and joyful than buying a new puppy… not always, but the homeless dog population is a crisis worth solving.Gunner is a 10-year-old Black Labrador Retriever who came to their family as a foster via Florida All-Retriever Rescue (FARR) in 2019. Gunner successfully made their foster house his "furever" home and he has been a part of their family ever since! He loves to play fetch and swim (like it's nobody's business), understands a LOT of human words, tucks his boy into bed every night, and is always up for a car ride, but his favorite rides include grabbing a "pup-cup" at Twistee Treat!Gunner is a loyal and playful 4 year-old Black Labrador mix that finds himself feeling unlucky having been separated from his original family. Follow Gunner's journey as he temporarily spends time on a farm and ultimately finds a new home; Gunner might become luckier than he ever imagined with adventures and dreams along the way! Too many dogs are abused, stranded, or owner surrendered and never make it to foster or “furever” homes. For this reason, a portion of the proceeds of this book will benefit Florida All-Retriever Rescue (FARR) – facilitator of Gunner's authentic route and journey to his “furever” home!Gunner Goes website is http://gunnergoesseries.comThe Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.

Through its evocative lyrics, the song highlights various forms of suffering and injustice that people often overlook or ignore. The song's verses paint vivid pictures of different individuals in distress, such as a lonely woman, a hungry child, a broken soldier, a homeless man, a missing father, a sister gone, a jailed brother, and a dying person.

True to its original author's voice and experience, ‘Girls in a World at War' resists contemporary cliches about the Greatest Generation to expose the good and the bad, the nobility and the meanness, of people thrown together with the fate of the globe at stake.” ~Todd DePastino is the author of Bill Mauldin: A Life Up Front and Executive Director of Veterans Breakfast Club.  http://kirkhousepublishers.comThe Douglas Coleman Show VE (Video Edition) offers video promotional packages for authors.Please see our website for complete details.  http://douglascolemanshow.com  Please help us to continue to bring you quality content by showing your support for our show.  https://fundrazr.com/e2CLX2?ref=ab_eCTqb8_ab_31eRtAh53pq31eRtAh53pq
