Charlie and Karen Hamilton (The Contest) discuss the specifics of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro and the vast support crews, her ridiculously privileged holidaying characters and where their requests are based in reality, and why everyone is obsessed with toilets. We then move on to an extensive discussion of the thriller aspect of Karen's book and whether, even though there is one killer in her book, there are in fact more.

“One person told me he got to a point where he didn't actually care whether he lived or died. He felt so ill that he had hallucinations. So it's a risk. It's a risk.” For the people who've climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, making it to the summit is more than a battle of fitness or of money. It's a challenging test of one's mental fortitude unlike no other. Throw into the mix a little deception, trickery and deceit - and that climb can become deadly. In Karen Hamilton's latest book ‘The Contest', she introduces a new layer of jeopardy into the mix. In this mountaintop locked-room thriller, two teams are pitted against each other in a race to the top. But with traps, tricks and backstabbing abound - trust is nowhere to be found. In this episode, you will learn: How to write about a place you've not visited yourself. How to deepen the mystery of your villain's actions. Why you should have faith in your editors.

Clive Corry of Action Trauma Limited, will tell us what trauma is and why it affects so many people in the world in so many different ways; often causing them to hurt themselves and others. Clive says that trauma is a disturbing, subconscious memory or series of memories which can deeply affect our mood, behaviour, health and life. It often has a ‘ripple effect' within families and can be passed down the generations. He is very clear that trauma is not an illness, but an injury which can be healed. So, what is the nature of this injury and what methods are available for healing? Traditionally in medicine, a ‘trauma' was a physical injury. Today, the dictionary also describes it as a deeply distressing or disturbing experience and omits the descriptive prefix of ‘psychological'. Clive says that the most important points to note in all of this, are that trauma is held in the subconscious and by both the mind and the body. He will give some amazing descriptions of how trauma manifests itself, taking charge of our thinking brain and preparing our entire body and mind for instant action, based upon our ancient survival instincts. He will detail the different types, causes and variations of trauma and its effects, which include anger, addictions, obesity, anxiety and depression. He avoids the use of complicated medical terms and, indeed, notes that the medical profession generally have not caught up with the new evidence and new thinking about trauma in the world today. Clive then goes on to describe how trauma may be healed and how difficult it can be to do so because trauma does not want to be revealed, in case it opens a Pandora's box of frightening memories and experiences. Resilience is an important factor but varies hugely between people depending upon their experiences and ‘nature versus nurture'. Collective trauma is a major problem in healing experiences from ‘the troubles' in Northern Ireland. Excitingly, after two years of Covid restrictions, The Trauma Summit (www.traumasummit.com) will be hosted live in ICC Belfast on June 13 & 14. Almost 2000 delegates are expected, along with up to 1000 virtual visitors. All will be able to view the talks and presentations for up to six months afterwards. Clive says that this will be the biggest conference since the very first one in 2018. 40 Speakers will be discussing the latest research findings, approaches and developments in trauma diagnosis and healing. He has a talented team, led by fellow director Karen Hamilton, who work with him to bring his vision forward.

For this week's episode of Start Somewhere, I'm so overjoyed to introduce you to my former colleague, the extraordinary Karen Hamilton. Karen is Unilever's Global Vice President of Sustainability. She works with Unilever's leading brands, such as Dove, Lifebuoy, Rexona and Sunsilk, to bring their purpose to life and embed sustainability into product innovation. Following a career in business and marketing, Karen moved to sustainability to spearhead the creation of Unilever's groundbreaking Sustainable Living Plan. It was then she established an evidence-based commercial case for the benefits of sustainability, demonstrating how it drives growth and trust while reducing risk and cost. In this episode, we hear about how Karen's Scandinavian roots influenced her early interest in sustainability, how Unilever is leading the charge in committing to business for good, and what we can all learn from being good to people and planet. The ask: Wherever you work, try to set an ambitious north star. It's what will get people out of bed in the morning. Think about how your business can embrace a more equitable and sustainable future in a way that also drives greater success. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The Hollows: By Mark Edwards | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com “An exceptional read, I was sucked in from the word go. Fresh and original but with all the hallmarks of a vintage Mark Edwards thriller—a creepy, twisty, shadowy tale that Stephen King would have been proud to have written.” —John Marrs, bestselling author of When You Disappeared and What Lies Between Us “A really creepy and clever page-turner with a great father/teenage daughter dynamic. Loved it!” —Louise Candlish, Sunday Times bestselling author of Our House “A brilliant read! So eerily atmospheric. I loved the sense of menace lurking in the woods and the rising tension and fear was truly spine-chilling. Fans of Mark Edwards are definitely in for a page-turning, wonderfully spooky read.” —Karen Hamilton, bestselling author of The Perfect Girlfriend “The Hollows is an exceptionally creepy page-turner with a brilliantly-handled parent/teenager dynamic at its heart.” —Teresa Driscoll, bestselling author of I Am Watching You “Loved this nightmare summer-camp holiday story—another pitch-perfect page-turner from Mark Edwards.” —Jane Casey, Sunday Times bestselling author “This book is perfect if you like spooky mysteries in atmospheric, isolated woods. A proper summer page-turner with a clever sting in the tail.” —Chris Ewan, bestselling author of Safe House “Atmospheric and spine-chilling—I loved the father/daughter relationship at its heart.” —Harriet Tyce, Sunday Times bestselling author “This is why I never go camping in the woods. Another terrifically creepy page-turner from a consummate storyteller.” —David Jackson, bestselling author of Cry Baby --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message

The addictive new thriller from Karen Hamilton, Sunday Times best-selling author of The Perfect Girlfriend. Charlotte and Sam were partners. In life and in crime. They never stole from anyone who couldn't afford it. Wealthy clients, luxury cruise ships. It was easy money and harmless. At least, that's what Charlotte told herself, until the world caved in on her. But now, years after she tried to put that past life behind her, it comes rushing back when her estranged ex-husband, Sam, suddenly goes missing - and someone threatens to expose what they did. Desperate to escape whoever is tormenting her, Charlotte takes a job as events planner for an engagement party onboard a superyacht in the Caribbean. For a while, her plan seems to have worked, nothing but open ocean and clear skies ahead. Until it becomes clear that she's no longer a thousand miles away from harm. Because whoever is behind it all is onboard too. And now there's nowhere left to run.

Karen Hamilton describes smart innovations on vaccine delivery. Phil Bogdonoff expects a grave lack of energy. Nadine Bloch urges us all to work harder! You can watch this series (or listen to them as audio podcasts) on our website, then discuss here: https://tosavetheworld.ca/videos/#comments.

The three panelists are all active in their faith communities and in peace activism. Sister Mary-Ellen Francoeur, Karen Hamilton, and David Millar agree that their work involve a willingness to be open in the heart and to recognize others as "created in the image of God"--though it can be hard to stay alert to this possibility in relations with others.

A brand new podcast for fans and writers of crime fiction. In our final episode of series one, we talk to Sunday Times Best Seller, Karen Hamilton on her experience of a creative writing course.

Wir beginnen mit Commissario Brunettis neunundzwanzigsten Fall „Geheime Quellen“, einem Hörbuch, das die besondere Atmosphäre von Venedig einzufangen weiß. Dann passiert ein Unglück. Ist es das oder ist es gar ein manipuliertes Unglück? Eine Frau kommt ins Spiel, die im Sterben liegt und alles nimmt seinen Lauf. Wir bleiben im Krimi Sujet mit Ingrid Nolls „In Liebe Dein Karl“. Eine Lieblingsautorin von Mieze, weil sie einfach speziell ist. Durch ihre grandiose Fantasie gelingt es ihr immer wieder mörderisches Geschehen und Witz in ihre Kurzgeschichten reinzubringen. In diesem Hörbuch kommt nun auch noch Autobiographisches aus ihrem eigenen Leben hinzu. Es wird spannend! Weiter geht es mit einem weltweiten Hype: Marie Kondo und „Magic Cleaning“. Eine Autorin, die mit ihrer Aufräummethode KonMari große Bekanntheit erlangt hat. Sie vertritt den Grundgedanken, dass die eigene Wohnung der Spiegel der Seele ist. Räumt man seine Wohnung auf, so sorgt man auch für mehr Ordnung im eigenen Leben und befreit sich von jeglichem Ballast. Und zum Schluss der Apple Tipp mit „The Perfect Girlfriend“ von Karen Hamilton. Die Autorin selbst war Flugbegleiterin und so auch die Hauptprotagonistin. Sie ist Stewardness, er ist Pilot. Er ist ihr Traummann und sie wird ihn sich zurückholen. Koste es was es wolle. Hamilton hat es hier auf die Spitze getrieben mit einem spannenden Thriller aus der Sicht einer Stalkerin.

THE BRILLIANT NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND How far would you go to fulfil a promise to your oldest friend? Nina, in the final days of her illness, asks her best friend Marie to look after her family when she's gone. And Marie does everything she can to step into Nina's shoes after her friend's tragic death. She tries to do the best by Nina, tries to be there for Nina's young children, tries to support Nina's grieving husband, tries to keep their lives on track despite their terrible loss. But when Marie discovers a dark secret that Nina had kept concealed, she is forced to confront the past, and those shared secrets come back to haunt her too. Tense, heart-breaking and utterly gripping, The Last Wife explores the real nature of love and friendship - and just how fragile every relationship can be in the face of the secrets we hide from each other.
