    ALISTAIR CROSS Alistair Cross' debut novel, The Crimson Corset, a vampiric tale of terror and seduction, was an immediate bestseller earning praise from veteran vampire-lit author, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, and New York Times bestseller, Jay Bonansinga, author of The Walking Dead series. In 2012, Alistair joined forces with international bestseller, Tamara Thorne, and as Thorne & Cross, they write – among other things – the successful Gothic series, The Ravencrest Saga. Their debut collaboration, The Cliffhouse Haunting, was a bestseller. They are currently at work on their next solo novels and a new collaborative project. In 2014, Alistair and Tamara began the radio show, Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE!, which has featured such guests as Anne Rice of The Vampire Chronicles, Charlaine Harris of the Southern Vampire Mysteries and basis of the HBO series True Blood, Jeff Lindsay, author of the Dexter novels, Jay Bonansinga of The Walking Dead series, Laurell K. Hamilton of the Anita Blake novels, Peter Atkins, screenwriter of HELLRAISER 2, 3, and 4, worldwide bestseller V.C. Andrews, and New York Times best sellers Preston & Child, Christopher Rice, and Christopher Moore. TAMARA THORNE   Tamara Thorne's first novel was published in 1991. Since then she has written many more, including international bestsellers Haunted, Bad Things, Moonfall, and The Sorority. Tamara's interest in writing is lifelong, as is her fascination with the paranormal, occult, mythology and folklore. She's been an avid ghost story collector and writer all her life. Tamara's novels range from straight-out ghost stories to tales of witchcraft, conspiracies, UFOs, elemental forces, and vampires. No matter what topic she chooses, chances are you'll find a ghost or two lurking in the background. Today, she and her frequent collaborator, Alistair Cross, share their worlds and continue to write about ghosts and other mysterious forces. Whether collaborating or writing solo, there is no shortage of humor, sex, blood, and spookiness. Tamara also conducts real-life investigations of anomalous phenomena and has seen a number of odd things over the last twenty years. As an open-minded skeptic, she's spoken to many paranormal groups and has appeared on the television show, Ghost Adventures. Most recently, she and Alistair Cross went on a five-day investigation to an allegedly haunted cabin in California's Gold Country - an adventure that inspired The Cliffhouse Haunting. She has also been featured on many radio programs and in various newspapers on the topics of haunted places and local lore. A journalist by training, she occasionally writes about ghosts and hauntings for a syndicate of southern California newspapers, but her first love is, and has always been, telling ghost stories to make people scream. . . and laugh. Tamara and Alistair co-host Thorne & Cross: Haunted Nights LIVE! every Thursday night on Blog Talk Radio. You can also visit Tamara on Twitter, Facebook, or at her blog.

When is the right time to develop a new pitch?  For Jay Bonansinga, author of “The Walking Dead” books, film director and HCEAInnovate Session Speaker, it starts immediately with the idea.  In his 90 minute session, Jay immersed attendees in the creative process that started with picking an idea and then developing the plan to sell it to the audience.  So much goes on when developing ideas that will win over the audience and Jay shares secrets in this episode that will help you with your next pitch. In this episode you will learn key elements to include in your next presentation.  Whether you need to win over stakeholders, gain leadership support or win an RFP the ingredients for creating a pitch are the same. 6 Steps to Creating a Pitch Know your audience. Before you even come up with an idea-decide why your audience needs the solution you are going to pitch. Collaborate with others.  The best pitch happens when there is a creative brainstorming process where you share ideas and develop a strategy. Develop a clear marketing plan. When delivering your idea, it is important that you include all of the elements and keep it simple so the audience Tell a compelling story. In the pitch “competition” between the two groups at HCEAInnovate, one of the elements that helped the teams was communicating the solution via a story. Anticipate questions during and after the pitch. When developing the overall strategy, include possible objections, or barriers to the solution and be ready to offer alternative ideas. Ask for the Order. During a pitch, it is easy to get caught up in the details and omit the most important last step-asking the audience to choose your solution. This happened to both teams at HCEAInnovate in part because of the time limit and it was a helpful lesson to learn for all in the audience. In addition to discussing the pitch, Jay shares so many great insights on how he got started as a writer, the creative process, and more.  Be sure to listen to the end for insider information on where you can meet Jay at upcoming events.  If you missed Part 1 of this series, listen to Episode 60 for what it was like to participate in the pitch experience. Would you like help winning leadership buy-in for your trade show program?  Reach out to me, I would love to help! A Big Thank You to Jay Bonansinga for hosting the interview in his office!   Resources:  Jay Bonansinga    Series about how to do The Pitch on AMC Credits: Thanks as always to Christy Haussler at Team Podcast for editing this episode.

This week Eric, Lon and Amy welcome Sylvia Shults to the program. Sylvia Shults has been a paranormal investigator for several years. She began her career as a ghost hunter as a result of doing the research for her nonfiction book Ghosts of the Illinois River (Quixote Press, 2010). Her fascination with ghosts dates back to her childhood, as she is an avid reader who was raised on Grimm's Fairy Tales. A few years ago, Shults was inspired to write a collection of people's supernatural experiences at the Peoria State Hospital in Bartonville, Illinois. This project quickly swelled into Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the Peoria State Hospital. The book incorporates the history of the asylum as well as the many ghost stories that have arisen out of the asylum's abandonment. In an effort to separate fact from fiction, Shults thoroughly explores the true history of the hospital. “It's fascinating,” she says. “The Peoria State Hospital was a place of great advances in mental health care. Was there agony there? I don't doubt it. Mental illness is an agonizing thing. So is alcoholism. So is TB. But that's not nearly the whole story of this remarkable institution. There was also incredible tenderness and caring. Dr. George Zeller was responsible for unprecedented reforms in the field of mental health care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have been able to write a book that not only tells some really unnerving ghost tales, but also the true stories of Dr. Zeller and his dedicated staff.” Fractured Spirits: Hauntings at the Peoria State Hospital is a result of years of research. Shults spoke to dozens of people who have had paranormal experiences at the abandoned asylum. She has also done many investigations of her own. The book, and Shults' research, was featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters (“Prescription for Fear”, which aired January 30, 2013). Shults lives in Illinois with her husband. She works at the Fondulac District Library, mostly in order to feed her book addiction. She also serves as the Publicity Director for Dark Continents Publishing. In addition to nonfiction, she also writes romance and horror. She is the first to admit that there is a fine line between the two. "Sylvia Shults's FRACTURED SPIRITS is a fascinating, touching, creepy, riveting read -- a sort of Central Illinois Ghost Adventures -- set in the defunct chambers of the Peoria State Hospital. Shults is a natural story-teller, and she gets at something deeper and more poignant here than mere phantoms..." - Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling co-author of THE WALKING DEAD: THE ROAD TO WOODBURY www.sylviashults.com and www.darkcontinents.com Visit www.facebook.com/FracturedSpirits for an interactive experience.
