MrBeast and James Patterson took a familiar Beast Games-style experience and carried it into a completely different format. The result was The Most Dangerous Games, which debuted at No. 3 on The New York Times hardcover-fiction list.What interests me isn't the size of MrBeast's audience. It's how recognizable the experience still feels when it moves from YouTube into a book, a contest and a larger launch campaign.In this episode, I talk about:Why your strongest ideas don't have to stay in one formatHow to make a new offer still feel recognizably like your brandWhy giving people a smaller experience can help them understand the bigger offerHow founder-led brands can carry the same experience across different levels of the customer journeyThe question to ask when identifying what makes your approach distinctYou don't need MrBeast-level reach to use this idea. Start with the frameworks, experiences and perspectives people already associate with your work, then look for ways they could travel into something new. Plan your holiday marketingGrab the free 2026 Mindful Marketer's Holiday Handbook for help planning your Black Friday offer and holiday marketing: https://onlinedrea.com/holiday/Registration is also open for Plan Your Black Friday Campaign With Me.

AVA GLASS Learn more about Ava Glass at https://www.avaglass.uk Ava Glass is the UK's biggest selling female spy writer with over 2million copies sold, who writes about the world of female spies from firsthand experience and has been dubbed the “female heir to James Bond” by James Patterson and “the new Queen of spy fiction” by The Guardian. Having worked in British intelligence for just shy of a decade, Ava Glass uses her novels to reveal the hidden world of female espionage in compelling and realistic spy writing that shatters the James Bond stereotype. Ava Glass's fourth novel The Hiding Season is published by Penguin Cornerstone in paperback on 13th August and explores the damage that spies do to those who accidentally cross their path, something Ava has experienced herself. In a completely fresh direction for Ava Glass, The Hiding Season is set in America's wild west state of Montana following an ordinary American woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators – the perfect read for fans of hit shows The Night Manger and Yellowstone. Her many years working with MI6, MI5 and the FIB, mean that Ava Glass (not her real name) has signed the official secrets act, has been befriended, vetted and duped by spies, seen everything from the real Bond Girls – Britain's brigade of female spies; participated in terrorist simulations on British soil - where the British Government blow up more buildings than a Mission Impossible film so spies can practice for the real thing; and has some brilliant stories to share from the secret spy nod, secret spy doors, to why not to tussle with a spy in public. Prior to working with MI5 and MI6, Glass had a previous career as a crime reporter in the USA covering murders & kidnappings alongside the FBI and has written for the New York Times and Reuters. Ava also frequently appears on BBC Radio 4 and Sky News covering the latest spy stories. Current Release THE HIDING SEASON PENGUIN | 13 AUGUST 2026 Trust no one. Move fast. From the UK Queen of spy fiction, comes a brilliant new spy novel set in the heart of America. Exploring the damage that spies can do to those who become entangled with them, The Hiding Season follows an ordinary woman running for her life after she witnesses the murder of one of America's most powerful senators. Escaping from a broken marriage, Maya Landry moves to Bozeman, Montana, the gateway to the Rocky Mountains. Working at an exclusive private ski-resort in the off season, Maya's new life of quiet reflection in the mountains is going exactly as she'd hoped . . . until she stumbles across a dead body. With no phone signal, she races down the mountain to get help. But when she returns with the police, the body is gone and no-one believes her. Later that night Maya is told by FBI agent Riley Maguire that if she doesn't leave the state tonight, she'll be dead by morning. Forced to change her identity, leave everything behind and move across the country, Maya trusts Riley to keep her safe. But, when her hiding place is compromised, should she trust him? And are the feelings she's having towards him too good to be true? From a ski lodge in the Rocky Mountains to the Dirty Sixth in Austin, and from an anonymous safehouse in Texas to the headquarters of the FBI in Chicago, this is a page-turning, pulse-pounding thriller that explores the collateral damage of an FBI operation gone wrong.

AUG. 25, 2026Always do the honorable thing."We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable. 2Co 8:21 NLTIn an extensive opinion survey called The Day America Told the Truth, James Patterson and Peter Kim reported these startling findings.Only 13 percent of those interviewed believed that all Ten Commandments are still binding and relevant today. Ninety-one percent admitted that they lied regularly, both at home and at work. Most workers admitted to goofing off an average of seven hours a week.About half of the workforce admitted they regularly called in sick, even when they felt well. When they were asked what they would be willing to do for ten million dollars, 25 percent said they would abandon their families, 23 percent said they'd be willing to work as a prostitute for a week, and 7 percent said they'd be willing to murder a stranger!And should you conclude that those surveyed are the unsaved and the unchurched, Doug Sherman and William Hendricks surveyed Christians and found that they were almost as likely as unbelievers to do these things too.They admitted to stealing in the workplace, falsifying their tax returns, and selectively obeying the laws. Paul wrote to the Corinthians: 'We are careful to be honorable before the Lord, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable." Then he wrote to the Christians in Rome: "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you" (Ro 12:2 NLT).

James Patterson's new book, The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy, offers a detailed and emotionally charged narrative of the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The book reconstructs the victims' final hours and the immediate aftermath of the killings, weaving together personal details about their lives, relationships, and the horror of what took place inside their off-campus home. Patterson brings readers inside the crime scene, the families' heartbreak, and the small-town panic that erupted as police struggled to explain the brutality of what had occurred.The second half of the book zeroes in on Bryan Kohberger, the man who ultimately pleaded guilty to the murders. Patterson paints a chilling profile of a socially alienated criminology student who studied the psychology of killers and believed he could execute the perfect crime. The narrative follows how Kohberger's mistakes—especially leaving behind a knife sheath—led to a meticulous investigation that unraveled his plan. Combining investigative detail with fast-paced storytelling, the book challenges readers to weigh the evidence for themselves, positioning them as the jury in a case that still echoes with unanswered questions and shattered lives.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New book on University of Idaho murders sheds light on Bryan Kohberger's potential motive - ABC News

What happens when a group of working authors sits down after a rough month and tells the truth about publishing? You get this episode of Write Wrong Repeat. In this conversation, JP Rindfleisch IX, Holly Lyne, Jeff Elkins, Tom Holbrook, and Crys Cain check in on their writing lives, business experiments, marketing wins, publishing frustrations, and the strange emotional math of trying to build an author career in public. August was not an easy month. The group talks honestly about grief, health scares, family chaos, ADHD, burnout, stalled goals, tight finances, pre-order jail, and the pressure to keep producing when life refuses to cooperate. But this is not just a "publishing is hard" episode. It is also full of practical author-business conversation. The group gets into translations, BookFunnel, mailing lists, Facebook ads, TikTok, direct sales, Kindle Unlimited, pen names, book events, reader connection, writing to market, paranormal detective fiction, cozy mystery, sports romance, and what happens when your book accidentally shares a title with James Patterson. They also wrestle with a bigger question: What is still giving you hope about publishing? The answers are messy, funny, honest, and surprisingly encouraging. The group talks about how old strategies do not necessarily die just because new tools arrive, why reader connection still matters, how community can keep authors moving, and why there are still more paths than ever for writers who are willing to experiment, simplify, adjust, and keep going. This episode is for authors who are juggling too many projects, wondering what marketing tools are worth their time, trying to decide between KU and direct sales, struggling to write through a hard season, or asking whether publishing is still a place where real writers can build something meaningful. Listen in for a candid, funny, behind-the-scenes look at the author life as it actually happens. Imperfect progress, weird experiments, failed plans, small wins, big pivots, and enough hope to keep writing.

Patrick Deneen's 2018 book, Why Liberalism Failed, was by the standards of most academic works of political philosophy, wildly successful.  It struck a chord with some of the broader Right and gave a voice to a growing movement skeptical of the promises of classical liberalism and looking for an alternative.  This burgeoning New Right, however, is anything but new.  The kind of postliberalism often advocated by the New Right has been attempted in nations across Europe and South America.  And each time it has been tried, it has failed.   Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is James Patterson and Thomas Howes to talk about their new book, Why Postliberalism Failed.  The trio unpackage the wild, conspiratorial, and gruesome history of postliberal regimes of the past and explore what it might tell us about how similar efforts might play out today.   About James Patterson James M.

Paranormal Heart welcomes J.D.Barker Date: July 21st, 2026 EP:95 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.United Public Radio & UFO Paranormal Radio www.uprntalkradio.com
