In today's episode we'll discuss:Picking a family mottoOctopus biologyBlurb-Half kraken, half fae Environmental Police Agency enforcer Iolani Lionheart has everything a person could ever want—looks, money, family connections, power, more degrees and certifications than she can count…. Too bad that's all anyone ever wants her for. Io is a fling, a means to an end, an asset to be used and tossed aside. Too intimidating, too arrogant and eccentric, she's not someone you keep. But what her clingy kraken and indulgent fae natures want more than anything is a mate (or mates) to hoard.After her most recent power-hungry lover betrays her, Iolani is fed up and desperate to get away. An ocean-side investigation in Florida sounds like a great way to get her mind off her moping and get some much-needed saltwater rest and relaxation. She might even find a fun partner to help her forget the latest disaster of a relationship. But of course, nothing is that easy.The simple pollution case she's investigating turns out to be more complicated that she had hoped, one of her exes returns to haunt her, and the cute water nymph barista she's been wooing might be unable to accept Io's fluid gender and intimidating family—just like so many others before her.Would anyone blame her if Io just started eating everyone who pissed her off?The Kraken's Cult series takes place in the same universe as the Gesa's Menagerie and Gods and Demons series, but with a new cast of characters. This series takes place thirty years after the events in Gods and Demons, in a world where supes are (mostly) integrated with human society. While reading the previous series might give you a deeper experience or insight into side characters, Kraken's Cult is also able to be read as a standalone series.Author's Notes*Kraken's Cult books are longer novellas to shorter novels (40,000-50,000+) words. They may or may not include cliff-hangers. Typically, one plot thread will be resolved or “resolved for now,” while others may continue to build throughout the series. There's none of that “book that ends abruptly in the middle and I'm gonna call it a novella” stuff.*Includes mentions of past trauma, including but not limited to: implied threat of sexual abuse as a minor, bullying, violence, emotional trauma.*So much swearing. Seriously.*Explicit sex with varying levels of heat and kink possible.*Series contains M/F, F/F, M/M, MMMMFF romance.*Characters with gender fluidity, non-binary/intersex characters, gender bending/gender swap, gray ace, and any other orientation you can think of may appear in this series.*Let's face it, you're thinking about reading a book with a kraken main character. There may be tentacles put to use in ways that make some people uncomfortable. It's just to be expected.Other books mentioned in this episode:Zodiac Academy: The Awakening by Caroline Peckham and Susanne ValentiThe Warlord by Gena ShowalterKing of Coins by Amy KuivalainenFind out more about us-https://linktr.ee/BondedBooksPodcastIf you'd like to email questions, comments or book suggestions you can do so at BondedBooksPodcast@gmail.com

Chad Cordero is one of the greatest baseball players to ever wear a Cal State Fullerton uniform. For three years (01-03) he was unstoppable on the mound. He was drafted by the Expos in the 1st round (20th overall). Cordero's best season was in 2005, when he was an All-Star and won the Rolaids Relief Man Award. During the period of 2005–2007, he recorded 113 saves. He completed the 2005 season with 47 saves, leading the major leagues, and was selected to the National League pitching staff for the 2005 MLB All-Star game. Cordero (at age 25 years and 86 days) became the second youngest player in baseball history to reach 100 saves in a career. (Francisco Rodríguez is the youngest at 24 years and 246 days old. Cordero missed almost all of the 2008 season after undergoing surgery to repair a labrum tear, an injury he suffered in April.[2] On October 30, 2008 the Nationals sent him outright to AAA Syracuse, and he rejected the assignment, becoming a free agent. Among other reasons for Cordero's rejection was that he was displeased with how he found out that he would be "non-tendered" by the Nationals at the end of the season—via an impromptu comment made by Nationals' GM Jim Bowden on a radio show in July. Chad has two children: Riley and Tehya. Tehya died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 2010. He was named head coach of the Iolani softball team in Hawaii. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matt-brown57/support

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iolani/ In today's episode, we focus on fostering inclusion and bringing diversity to our world. Our guest today is ‘Iolani Bullock. ‘Iolani is a Diversity and Inclusion expert and an author of the children's picture book Lenox takes flight. She is also a trained ballet dancer.  ‘Iolani was inspired to write the book when she was traveling to Thailand with her infant son and husband. While she was at the airport, she tried to find a travel book to read to her son. The books she came across didn't have very diverse characters. They didn't have very interesting storylines or, different characters, from different backgrounds. When she couldn't find the book that she wanted to read with her son, she decided that she should create it. After her decision to write her own book, ‘Iolani started by journaling and writing new ideas on her phone since she was still on holiday in Thailand. She would look at her son for inspiration. Since the majority of the book takes place in an airport, thinking back to when she traveled for the first time as a 13-year-old, really gave her inspiration. The book took a lot of iteration, not only when she was turning her bullet points into stories but through her collaboration with her editors.  One thing that ‘Iolani focuses on in her children's book is the diversity and inclusion aspect of it. In this book, she brings together the blind, children of color, and even black Americans who were in the world war. These images help normalize different cultures and people that they will see in the society as they are growing up. Having written this book while working from home, ‘Iolani gives us tips on how to have a successful work-life balance. These tips include: Spending time outside, moving your body. You don't have to take your recurring calls inside the house, you can have that call when taking a walk. This helps you clear your mind and gives you space to be creative. Bounce your ideas off people you trust.  Speak and write your ideas when your creative juices start flowing.  In summary, Finding a community that inspires you and you can use to bounce ideas off also helps. The more you put into your creative process, the more you will get out.  You can reach out to ‘Iolani on:   Website: https://www.lenoxtakesflight.com/ (Lenox takes flight) Copyright 2022 Mark Stinson

It's hard to rank all the things I love about Russell Motter – history teacher, lover of great music, epic thespian, good cook, creative innovator, Atlanta Braves and Falcons fan, among others – but the fact he mixes a mean Sazerac, my favorite cocktail, sits at the top of the list. Russell and I taught together in the history department at ‘Iolani School from 2010 to 2014. When I say taught together, I mean it literally. We team-taught US History, merging our two classes into one very cool section that at times traveled to the outer edges of innovation in education and what history could be. (To see a very cool video about our work, click here.) But I get ahead of myself. Russell has a BA and a masters in history from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He has been teaching in the history department at ‘Iolani School for 26 years, and was its department head from 2005 – 2013. Russell and I co-founded and co-directed the Education Innovation Lab at ‘Iolani School during the 2013/2014 school year. He has been a curriculum consultant for Punahou School's PUEO program; he coordinated ‘Iolani's capstone program for two years. Currently he is the course leader for ‘Iolani's APUS history program. Russell has also taught at the college level here in Honolulu. If you ever have a chance to read Russell's resume you will see that he has a miscellaneous projects section a mile long. Highlights include working on a team that brought technology to ‘Iolani's campus in the form of a K12 iPad 1:1 program, the second school in Hawaii to do so. I also served on that team with Russell. It was a blast. More than anything, in my humble opinion, Russell's work bringing incredible guest speakers to ‘Iolani School is a highlight. Speakers include Barbara Field, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, John Hope Franklin (a personal hero of mine), Wynton Marsalis and Isabel Wilkerson, Pulitzer Prize Winning author of the incredible book, The Warmth of Other Suns. Oh, I almost forgot, Russell, originally from the Great State of Georgia, acts in local theater productions here in Honolulu, is a master mixologist and, in an earlier life, was a hotel bellman. To say he has lived a rich and intentional life is an understatement.
