Today's NPC Prompts were:Western Setting, Kobold, Gladiator, Courtesan, True Neutral, Creative, Perfectionist, Collects BugsThere isn't much to do in town during the long months of winter, except for the Gladiator Games. Spritzy has been built for this role, as the lean and wiry Kobold of Madame Rose's Pleasure House. They've been known to rock the world of many a weary customer who simply wanted to be tossed around. Now they get to do so and keep their clothes on. If you can best them in 3 rounds of brawling, they will gift you with a prize. Don't be surprised if it is a new pet. Scorpions are their favorite critter to collect and raise. Want to make a suggestion?

Today's NPC Prompts were:Comedy Theme, Halfling, Toymaker, Performer, Chaotic Neutral, Luck, Smol and Strong, Only Trusts Tall FolksThe North Pole is a charming town, full of wonder and  folks who work hard to make toys for the children of the world. And while Candice is a competent toymaker, she has an idea to bring cheer in a different way. There is a new carol that Candice is writing, but her job in the workshop is taking all of her energy away from her creative pursuits. Since Mr. and Mrs. Claus seem to be the only ones concerned with the work/ life balance of the halflings and elves in their employ, Candice doesn't much care for anyone who is under 5 feet tall, figuring that the height gives them a better perspective than her co-workers. Want to make a suggestion?

The locals give the entrance of Canbree's Salon a wide birth. It's said that the owner was an infamous murderer. If only they knew the truth of the matter. Dulcinea Canbree is still willing to tell the tale, after all, she still inhabits her salon. It was her life's work after her father disowned her for a young love that didn't last.

Today's NPC Prompts were:Historical Setting, Rat-like, Doctor, Outlaw, Chaotic Good, Intelligence, Distracted, AgelessThe balance of scientific curiosity and morality is a delicate one. Most physicians will take choose science for the "greater good", but Doc Wyrmstitch asked, good for whom. Donning his rat-like masks in the plague ridden alleys, the destitute know that "The Rat Doctor" is there to help, not to scrounge around for test subjects. Though his thoughts process faster than his namesake can scurry, he greets each patient with gentle kindness, respect, and compassion. His outspoken advocacy for the human rights of the poor and the sanctity of the deceased have sent him out of society in disgrace. As a result, he takes whatever supplies he can find, and damn the wanted posters that call for his arrest or death. It has been 80 years, and yet, somehow, The Rat Doctor continues to help those in need Want to make a suggestion?

Today's NPC Prompts were:Cyberpunk, Faun, Chaotic Evil, Brewer, Awesome Style, Menacing Aura, Trading Background, SleepwalkerPan is an intimidating cyborg. A tragic accident took their legs and left them severely scarred, so they decided to use their savings from their trading experience to get more effective, faun-like prosthetic legs, giving them a more other-worldly aesthetic. Their hobby of brewing took off with the locals and Pan took the name Barleymedes as a marketing stunt. However, when they sleep, the cerebral network that allows Pan to use their integrated prosthetics takes over, continuing to bottle their brews... and perhaps adding a little something extra... like nano bots. Perhaps that explains the cult like following of their brew. Want to make a suggestion?

Today's NPC Prompts were:Barista, Lawful Good, Performer Background, Good at Chess, Charming, No Sense of Time.Inspired by a poem by "The Bathtub Mermaid" - If you happen to be at the cafe just before close, you will likely catch Celina Softshoe, dancing around the machines, making them gleam effortlessly as she sets the shop up for the next day. She is more willing to talk about the people that she sees each day than herself, but that attentiveness is part of her charm. If you want to get any information from her, ask her to a game of chess. Just don't plan to be anywhere for a few hours. It's very easy to lose track of time with her. Want to make a suggestion?

Today's NPC Prompts were:Horror Campaign, Dragonborn, Fibermancer, Chaotic Good, Funny, Slovenly, No Sense of SmellKardash "Hooks" Hookclaw sets up in any corner that will have them. A tavern or fighting hall is preferred. They have a raucous laugh and a twinkle of mischief in their eyes as manage to keep spirits high around them with a well said joke, or a light hearted prank. They will always make a crocheted present for the target of the joke. Though their clothing is always a bit shabby and stained, they never let it get to them. Sadly, they also have no sense of smell and often have to be told when it is time for them to bathe.⁠⁠Want to make a suggestion?

A powerful 10-point strategy gives you a clear, actionable plan to market your books. Four manageable strategic phases build on each other.1. Build the Foundation: The Stuff You Own and ControlFirst things first, the foundation: Building the stuff that you own and control. This is your content engine that's going to establish you as an authority in your space for the long haul. So what's the key here? It's how these three steps work together like a well-oiled machine.Your weekly podcast is the heart of your content engine. It's where you have your deepest conversations.Then, pull out shareable video clips from that podcast.And finally, pick one social media channel and focus on sharing those clips to pull people back to your main content.It's a smart interconnected system. This is where the magic is.For your podcast, feature people you want to honor. It's not just about getting interviews. It's about building genuine relationships.Your videos should be short and sweet but packed with value. Post them everywhere: YouTube, Rumble, Vimeo, and all your social networks.For social media, don't try to be everywhere at once. Pick one network like Instagram or TikTok and get really, really good at it.Your own content engine should now be humming along,2. The Expansion: Tap into Other People's AudiencesIt's time for phase two, the expansion. You've got your own valuable stuff now, so the strategy shifts a little bit.Start tapping into other people's audiences. It's all about leveraging platforms that other people have already built. How? Be a guest on other podcasts. Use tools like ListenNotes.com and Matchmaker.fm to locate the most targeted podcasts to reach your audience.You should also speak at events, both online and in person. Note: While online speaking is great, there is absolutely nothing that beats a live in-person speech for making a real connection.This plan also has a cool two-sided strategy for summits. You can host your own, or you can be a guest at someone else's, or both! If you host your own summit, you're in the driver's seat. You control the whole conversation and you build your brand as a leader.But being a guest, that's a fantastic shortcut to a built-in audience without all the logistical headaches. Which one's right for you? That depends on where you're at right now.3. The Email Connection: Own Your RelationshipsWe've covered building your platform and borrowing other people's, but this step is about owning the relationship with your biggest fans. It's about creating a direct line to them that no algorithm or social media platform can ever mess with.Social media is rented land. Your website could get buried by Google. But your email list is your direct, unfiltered line to the people who want to hear from you. It is the most valuable and bulletproof asset you can build as an author.How to use this direct line is simple: Send one email, every single week, no matter what. Send out emails that are short, packed with value, content rich, and inspirational. You're not just trying to sell them something, you're serving them consistently.4. The Amplifier: Pitch to the Major LeaguesThe final and most ambitious phase of this book marketing plan is the amplifier. Once you've got your foundation built, your expansion strategy working, and you have a direct connection to your tribe, you are ready to pitch to the major leagues.Take your message and scale it up, big time. Getting attention from major media isn't about getting lucky with one great pitch. It's about engaging in a persistent professional effort. And. as this timeline shows, the plan is to send a new idea, a new proposal, to your target outlets at least every two weeks.This steady drumbeat shows the media that you are serious, creative, and not going away. The rules for this final phase are all about focus and relevance. Pick one national TV show and one major magazine to start with.But here's the kicker. Your ideas have to be newsworthy. Connect what your book is about to what people are already talking about right now. Link your expertise to current events. That is what makes a producer's ears perk up.ConclusionThis table sums it up perfectly. You've got 10 individual tactics, but they all funnel into these four core strategies.You build your foundation with your content. You get expansion by leveraging other platforms. You forge a critical connection with your weekly email. And, finally, you become the amplifier by pitching the major media. It's a complete, integrated book marketing system where every part supports the others.This 10-point book marketing plan is so much more than a to-do list. It's an author marketing blueprint for building a career. Looking at this book marketing system, the question you should be asking yourself isn't, how can I possibly do all of this at once? It's much simpler than that.The real question is, what is the very first brick you're going to lay for your author platform starting today?Book Marketing Success is a reader-supported publication.

Send Robert a Text! Nearly a decade before the murder that would shock Bakersfield, Dennis Weis had been convicted in Illinois for a brutal sexual assault against an ex-girlfriend who tried to leave him. By the mid-1980s, he'd quietly resettled in Bakersfield, where his charm and attention drew in a young mother named Cindy Carr — a woman trying to rebuild her life after a broken marriage. What began as companionship soon spiraled into control, jealousy, and, finally, deadly rage. Click Here to purchase the 2025 Halloween Tour: https://2025halloween.supercast.com/***SUBSCRIBE HERE*** For only $4 per month, you can Subscribe to Notorious Bakersfield to get access to the entire back catalog of episodes.

In dating, rejection is part of the process, but when ‘no' isn't acknowledged, it can lead to heartbreak, harm, and even tragedy. In this solo episode, Matchmaker Maria addresses two recent cases in New Jersey that underscore the real-world consequences of ignoring boundaries and consent. She outlines the stories of Maria Notis, Isabella Salas, Dr. Lauren Semanchik, and Tyler Webb to highlight patterns of stalking, harassment, and institutional inaction. The episode examines how systems and communities fail to respond when warnings are raised. Maria shares practical steps individuals and policymakers can take to improve safety and accountability. This episode calls for greater awareness, stronger protections, and meaningful policy change. Letter to State Representatives: Dear [Representative's Name], I am writing to you as a constituent who is deeply concerned about the safety of women and families in our community. Recent tragedies in New Jersey, including the murders of Maria Notis, Isabella Salas, Dr. Lauren Semanchik, and Tyler Webb, highlight the urgent need for stronger protections against stalking, harassment, and domestic violence. I am asking you to prioritize funding for domestic violence shelters, victim advocacy services, and mental health programs. I am asking you to ensure that reports of harassment and stalking are taken seriously and acted upon immediately. No family should have to bury their child or loved one because boundaries were ignored, reports were dismissed, or resources were underfunded. Please take action now to protect your constituents. Sincerely, [Your Name]   _________________________________________________________________________________ Be sure to use the promo code: roundtable50 to join Maria's community or submit your own dating question!
