KATIE CROSS - BIOGRAPHY Katie Cross is ALL ABOUT writing epic magic and wild places. Creating new fantasy worlds is her jam. When she's not hiking or chasing her two littles through the Montana mountains, you can find her curled up reading a book or arguing with her husband over the best kind of sushi. Visit her at www.KatieCrossBooks.com for free short stories, extra savings on all her books (and some you can't buy on the retailers), and so much more. Mark McWaters has long been a fan of all things that go bump in the night, scratch at the door, or blow cold air on the back of your neck. From a very young age, he carried a pad and pencil around with him, composing poems to give to girls. He devoured all the Hardy Boys and Doc Savage books he could get his hands on and expanded his reading horizons from there. Robert Heinlein, Asimov, and Bradbury, whetted his appetite for Sci-Fi. Ann Rice's Interview With The Vampire blew his mind. A scene from Stephen King's Salem's Lot haunts him to this day. And Watcher by Dean Koontz made him a lifelong fan. He earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Became an award-winning advertising copywriter and creative director and earned enough Clios, Addys, and Communication Arts awards for bragging rights. As a writer, Mark discovered the Florida Writers Association, critique groups and writing competitions. He's won a steady stream of FWA Royal Palm Literary awards for his unpublished short stories and novels. The inspiration behind “Ghost Dog” came while reading entry rules for a magazine looking for unusual spins on traditional horror. Houses, people, dolls, even cars get haunted. So, he thought, why not dogs? Bentley, a West Highland White Terrier who sleeps under Mark's desk while he writes, agreed. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 43rd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. The Writers of the Future Contest judges include, Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (The Oppenheimer Alternative), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), Hugh Howey (Wool), and Katherine Kurtz (Deryni series) to name a few. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 9 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book).

Shaun Cassidy is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would Shaun be doing if not for being a Teen Idol, one-half of the Hardy Boys + a singer, actor, producer, and screenwriter? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been shucking corn for $4 an hour like Cindy Crawford, or working at McDonald's like Rachel McAdams. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.
The scavenger hunt continues in book two of the bestselling National Park Mystery Series.After camping in Rocky Mountain National Park, Jake and his friends travel to the Great Sand Dunes in southern Colorado. Exploring the heart of the dunes, they stumble upon something both unexpected and dangerous. Through more twists and turns, Jake's friendships and integrity are tested by choices that will demand smarts and courage.Illustrated by the author, this page-turning adventure is designed to capture the imagination of even the most reluctant of young readers. Parents looking for a delightful read-aloud adventure will find it hard to put down. (Word of Caution: readers frequently note that this is a “Please read just one more chapter” book).If your family loves the enchanted lands of our national parks, this series will take you to hidden places and into breathtaking landscapes. If you enjoy movies like National Treasure and Uncharted or mystery adventures like the Hardy Boys and Gary Paulsen's survival story, Hatchet, you'll love this first installment of the National Park Mystery Series.Aaron Johnson grew up on a farm in Ohio where he'd jump the fence to hike into the swamps, gullies, ravines, and gorges in a place they called The Deep Fields. He wrote his first book in second grade, and continued to write as a teenager.Then he became a high school and middle school teacher, and went on to work for twenty years in education. He's so grateful to bring his many passions together in this new life-chapter as an author: the outdoors, writing, the national parks, illustration, and his interest in fields of history, conservation, and the natural sciences. And he gets to squeeze my terrible dad- jokes into my stories.Their family lives in Colorado where Aaron spent over six months exploring and leading backpacking trips into Rocky Mountain National Park. That's why the adventure begins in RMNP, in the heart of a place that he thinks of as home.Aaron hopes your family not only enjoys these stories, but also develops a deeper affection for our national parks and the other wild places near you.Learn more about her books when you visit her website at https://nationalparkmysteryseries.comPlease share StoryJumpers with a friend if you enjoyed this episode.

We're heading to Africa! Over the years we have taken the 3 Books podcast on the road many times ... from recording in Judy Blume's bookstore in Key West to to the back of Jackie's Uber in St. Louis to Jonathan Haidt's kitchen in New York we've gone where the stories take us. And for the first time we are going to the 55-country and 1.5 billion person continent of Africa. I am so excited to share the first of three chapters of 3 Books recorded in Nairobi, Kenya. I landed there and went whizzing down busy streets with colourful stalls, wandering goats, people pulling carts full of eggs, women carrying baskets on their heads, endless whizzing bodas (motorcycles). I visited the lovely home of novelist and professor Peter Kimani — where he lives with his wife Anne and their two boys. Peter is a huge mind and talented writer whose work spans New York Times Notable novels such as 'Dance of the Jakaranda' to writing a poem for Barack Obama's presidential inauguration. Peter has studied at the University of Iowa—the Harvard of writing schools, perhaps!—and earned his doctorate at the University of Houston. He was awarded the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature, Kenya's highest literary honor, and is a professor at Aga Khan University in Nairobi. Let's sit down outside in his backyard garden, near the mango and orange trees, below the calls of the Pied Crows, and discuss normalizing abnormalities, decolonizing our minds, The Hardy Boys, writing as an extension of living, whitewashing conservation, Peter's 3 most formative books, and much, much more... Let's flip the page to Chapter 154 now...
The Hardy boys get involved in a treasure hunt.

Paranormal Heart welcomes J.D.Barker September 30th, 2025 EP:53 J.D, Barker Bio J.D. Barker (Jonathan Dylan Barker) is a New York Times and international bestselling American author whose work has been broadly described as suspense thrillers, often incorporating elements of horror, crime, mystery, science fiction, and the supernatural. Barker was born January 7, 1971 in Lombard, Illinois and spent the first fourteen years of his life in Crystal Lake, Illinois. A staunch introvert, he was rarely seen without a book in hand, devouring both the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series by the age of six before moving on to classics such as the works of Dickens and Twain. The discovery of Shelley, Stoker and Poe fueled a fire and it wasn't long before he was writing tales of his own which he shared with friends and family. These early stories centered around witches and ghosts thought to inhabit the woods surrounding their home. Barker's initial indie success drew the attention of traditional agents and publishers and in early 2016 his debut thriller, The Fourth Monkey, sold in a series of pre-empts and auctions worldwide with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt set to publish in the U.S. and HarperCollins in the UK. The book has also sold for both film and television. He has since gone on to write numerous titles which have appeared on bestseller lists around the world. He is also a frequent collaborator with James Patterson. Barker splits his time between Englewood, FL, and New Castle, NH, with his wife, Dayna, and their daughter, Ember. J.D.

I chat with editors Zack Grafman and Frank Theodat about the need for aspirational books for boys. Many recommendations from the Dads here, including classics like The Hardy Boys, Treasure Island, Jules Verne but also some new stuff (Redwall, How to Train your Dragon, even some video games). We also talk the (potential) opportunity within independent publishing to create and distribute through “underground, conspiratorial, vibes based marketing” books that counter safe, effeminate, and uninspiring mainstream offerings. ‘Based Boys Books,' as Zack puts it. Look out for the launch of 'The Boys Book of Adventure Anthology,' a new collection deliberately crafted to appeal to boys, as boys. The Anthology also happens include my next ‘Leo and Henry' Adventure.Intro/Outro: The Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone This is a public episode.

What drives your desire to be great—recognition or purpose?In this message, Andrew Mayne explores the tension between personal ambition and spiritual calling. Using the story behind the Hardy Boys and the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, Andrew draws a compelling parallel to the church: many individuals working under one name, not for personal fame, but for a greater purpose.Through personal stories and biblical reflection, this message challenges us to examine our motivations and invites us to live for the name above all names—Jesus.Key Scripture: Philippians 2:5–8"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus... he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant..."---- Gateway Baptist Church meets across six locations in South-East Queensland and online.

The summer of 2000 continues on, with Ryan and Cindy traveling to Dallas for Fully Loaded 2000 and a possible changing of the guard in the main event scene…or not. We start talking about how this is a unique card, with 3 mid-carders stepping up against established main eventers. The escalation of the Trish/Lita feud, with the Hardy Boys and T&A on the side. The return of Tazz and him facing the ultimate challenge of Al Snow. The beginning of the Triple H/Stephanie flower confusion and Kurt Angle attacking the Undertaker with a cartoonish wrench. Rikishi performing an insane splash from the top of the cage. The underwhelming Undertaker squash of Kurt Angle and a discussion on 2000 Undertaker. Two great main events, firmly establishing the Canadian Chrises as main event stars. We follow up with Raw the night after where we see the Big Show return…and turn heel within the hour.

This episode offers a SASF smorgasbord: Is Nancy Drew healthy soul food for a teenager? The guys discuss syndicate writing such as Nancy Drew, Tom Swift, and the Hardy Boys. Also on this episode: Why theater is so often gay, why Broadway is boutique, and why Shakespeare isn't a counterexample. ... with a chaser of why you should still, probably, be writing and directing plays (on your way to making a movie).
The last chapters of the book.
The Hardy boys spoil the Kidnapper's plans.
(00:00-15:09) Clearing The Deck. Jackson's questions. Can you say you "read" a book if it was an audio book? I'll take it black. Straight mud, baby. You don't have to announce it. Jackson does NOT ready Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew. Boatin' up to Quincy. Don't say loose meat.(15:17-25:47) What about the Thriller album, bro? We found the sweet spot. Audio of Panthers coach Paul Maurice on the ice after winning his second straight Stanley Cup. Gloria, Pink Pony Club, and the Six Flags song. Nice question, Uggo. Why are we being talked down to so much?(25:57-32:54) Your taste is in your patoot. We need to come with a Surgeon General's warning. MLB Trade Deadline top 30 players in a Post Devers world. No Cardinals on the list.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Today, we've got accomplished Marvel artist and character creator Tom Rasch to explore his diverse career spanning film, video games, and comics.

We originally reviewed the Burt Reynolds Classic "Stroker Ace" in Episode 178 in February of 2021. Enjoy! Movie Recap: If you loved Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, Police Academy, WKRP, Gomer Pyle: USMC, The Hardy Boys, Elvira: Mistress of the Dark, Deliverance, and Days of Thunder….this is like all of them combined, minus ….basically everything from Deliverance except Ned Beaty, and all of the really good stuff from Days of Thunder like Tom Cruise and amazing cinematography with real in car race footage at speed. This movie would be culture cancelled today. Sexual harassment is considered innocent fun, women are ogled, there's (ironically) no drug use, and the confederate flags are a plenty. But when Hal Needham called, Burt Reynolds answered...and made a box office flop that has kept us all clucking and chuckling to this day. Why? Because he was driving the FASTEST CHICKEN IN THE SOUTH. Directed by: Hal Needham Starring: Burt Reynolds Ned Beatty Jim Nabors Parker Stevenson Loni Anderson Released: 7/1/1983 Produced by: Warner Bros AND Universal Pictures ======================================== Welcome from the High Performance Expo!
