Sometimes the fates align — you read a fabulous book and get the chance to chat with the even more fabulous author behind it. Case in point: A Killer Wedding and Joan O'Leary.A perfect fall murder mystery set in an Irish castle — think glitz, glam, and a dead body. The fact that this is Joan's debut completely blew me away. She's right up there with Lucy, Ruth, and Lisa — a modern, chic Nancy Drew you'd want to grab a cocktail with and chat about books, beauty, and all things mystery.We celebrated her debut, talked about her writing journey, life working for Jimmy Fallon, and our shared binge-worthy shows. This was truly one of my favorite conversations with a debut author — the vibes were vibing, and Joan was an absolute delight.Did someone say besties?

Now Pike is back with his new boyfriend Devon to look after Tippy while her mum is on a Christmas cruise.Tippy can't get enough of her uncle's old Nancy Drew books. She wants to be Nancy and is desperate to solve a real mystery. So, when her teacher's body is found beside Riverstone's only traffic light, it looks like Tippy's moment has arrived. She and her minders form The Nancys, a secret detective club.But what starts as a bonding and sightseeing adventure quickly morphs into something far more dangerous. A wrongful arrest, a close call with the murderer, and an intervention from Tippy's mum all conspire against The Nancys. But regardless of their own safety, and despite the constant distraction of questionable fashion choices in the town that style forgot, The Nancys know only they can stop the killer from striking again. Whatever the cost…RWR MCDONALD (Rob) is an award-winning Kiwi author, living in Melbourne, Australia with his two daughters and one HarryCat.

What happens when you actually follow your gut and reach out to people doing the work? This week, Kelly finds out this week, sitting down with two thoughtful, genuinely kind humans who are quietly reshaping how we talk about the UFO phenomenon. Roz and Dan discuss why women in these spaces still get push back for, well, existing, how representation matters when we're trying to understand something bigger than ourselves, the surprising overlap between consciousness, spirituality, and close encounters, why indigenous voices are being drowned out by military ones, meditation as a gateway to mediumship, Marian apparitions and what they might actually mean, the miracle of Fatima, why horror movies prove women always have the answers, and a deeply personal encounter story that Dan carries with him.   Also: Tom DeLonge's new book, the Nag Hammadi texts, meditation headbands that measure brain waves, the divine feminine energy showing up everywhere lately, Nancy Drew, and why listening to what makes you uncomfortable might be the key to understanding everything.   WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN http://tobehumanshow.com  -Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-it-means-to-be-human/id1838722392 -YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tobehumanshow -Instagram: @tobehumanshow_ Dan Zetterström -Instagram: @thezignal -X/Twitter: @TheZignal Roz Mugford -Instagram: @rozwelll_   Patreon ⇒     http://patreon.com/frightday      TikTok ⇒     http://tiktok.com/frightdaypodcast     Spotify ⇒  https://open.spotify.com/show/14ioP0z...

Monica Padman (cohost of the Armchair Expert Podcast) always wondered why her favorite podcasters, Elizabeth Laime and Andy Rosen, abruptly ended their show years ago. When she finally got the chance to ask them in person, she assumed they'd say the usual - they got burnt out or busy with other things, but the truth was a story so shocking and creepy that she knew they had to make a show about it. What she couldn't have expected is that in listening to their true life cautionary tale, she'd take on the role of a real-life Nancy Drew helping them unravel a mystery they thought was long behind them.

In today's episode we sit down with author Nicole Beatty to explore Forge, a romantasy where magic is an artifact, councils hoard medallions, and a revenge-driven heroine steps into an open challenge that could reshape a corrupt system.BOOK BLURB: In Rae Airynn's world, magic is reserved only for those strong enough to earn it, or powerful enough to wield it unchallenged for generations, the most lethal Medallions firmly in the grasp of Hierathynn's most elite.For centuries, the Council has only included the descendants of five unstoppable families, until a member dies with no heir to claim his Medallion, and his seat of power.Forced into action, the Council hosts an Open Challenge, and Rae finds herself with a renewed hope that she may finally get the vengeance she's been dreaming of for over a decade—but she'll soon come to find that the threats she'll face in the arena aren't nearly as deadly as the ones lurking within the walls of the Council Grounds.The Challenge will threaten Rae's life, but the choices she'll have to make will threaten the very morals she clings to so desperately. How much of herself is she willing to sacrifice just to exact her revenge—assuming she even makes it out alive.AUTHOR BIOBorn and raised in Ontario, Canada, Nicole has been an avid reader and writer since childhood. The second she got her hands on her first Nancy Drew mysteries, she's been hooked on books. She currently writes in the Romantasy genre, but also loves to read anything Fantasy, Romantasy, or Thriller.Her main goal as an Author is to provide stories that can help readers escape reality for a few hours. But in between the tension-filled slow burn moments, adrenaline-packed action scenes, and giggling/feet-kicking-inducing banter, readers will walk with her characters as they process tough topics like grief or trauma, and ultimately find strength in themselves as well as each other.LINKSBOOK LINKWEBSITE LINKINSTAGRAMTHREADSTIKTOKAbout Victoria:Hey there, I'm Victoria!

That little girl in the hayloft always wanted to be a writer. I'm the poster child for following your dreams in midlife because I didn't write my first book until I was 55. -Hank Phillippi Ryan Imagine a 43-year career as an investigative reporter with 37 EMMYs and 14 Edward R. Murrow awards. Now imagine a brilliant midlife move, where all that experience manifests itself into writing mystery novels that are nail-biting thrillers. Welcome to the incredible story of Hank Phillippi Ryan. This queen of invention sat down in my living room with a cup of tea and the willingness to share a story filled with life lessons in bravery, curiosity, imagination, and just plain smarts. The author of 16 books, her latest is called All This Could Be Yours. The story follows Tessa Calloway, a debut author on a book tour, with a stalker who threatens everything she holds dear. Raised in rural Indiana, Hank (real name: Harriet Ann) admits she was a nerdy kid who wanted nothing more than to read her Nancy Drew books up in the hayloft. A Shakespeare major at Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio, her career has taken her from politics to writing for Rolling Stone Magazine to radio and television, where her news director at WHDH in Boston tapped her as the station's investigative reporter. “I'm not the funny one, says Hank. I hate to be lied to, and I love discovering the truth. Every one of those 37 EMMY awards represents a secret somebody didn't want me to tell.” In this interview, she shares wisdom from her mother, and plenty of her own, including: “Worry is glue under your feet” and “success to me is one good idea a day.” For 27 minutes on the joy of reinvention, just hit that download button. #reinvention #mystery #author #television #investigativereporter

Paranormal Heart welcomes J.D.Barker September 30th, 2025 EP:53 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. J.D.

The Girl from Devil's Lake: A Brady Novel of Suspense (Joanna Brady Mysteries) by J. A Jance https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Devils-Lake-Gripping-Mysteries/dp/0063252635 Arizona County Sheriff Joanna Brady solves her biggest case yet, from a body in the desert to crimes spanning decades and countries, in the thrilling latest installment in the New York Times bestselling suspense series. Sheriff Joanna Brady is looking forward to the holidays with her busy family, and to celebrating her daughter Jenny's graduation from the police academy. But the family is interrupted when a body is discovered beneath a flooded bridge in the Arizona desert, and Joanna is called onto the case. A young boy was murdered, and the details of the crime scene tell Joanna two things: This was not the killer's first murder. And it's only a matter of time before he kills again. As Joanna digs deeper into the case, she begins to understand this murder is just one piece of a much, much bigger puzzle. She uncovers unlikely connections between cases of mysterious deaths and missing persons, having long since gone cold, that extend far beyond the confines of her small town and include the discovery of a body near Devil's Lake, North Dakota. To get justice for the victims and to save the town of Bisbee from a predator, Joanna must chase down every dangerous lead. Meanwhile, as a dogged journalist is circling the case and privileged information is leaked, Joanna can't be sure who to trust. Could a prolific killer be hiding in plain sight? And how far will that person go to keep his many crimes hidden? About the author J.A. Jance is the New York Times best selling author of 46 contemporary mysteries in four different series.

McDonald's Travis Magee series, it was only natural that when she tried her hand at writing her first book, it would be a mystery as well. J. A. Jance went on to become the New York Times bestselling author of the J. P. Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, three interrelated thrillers featuring the Walker family, and Edge of Evil. Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona. Jance is an avid crusader for many causes, including the American Cancer Society, Gilda's Club, the Humane Society, the YMCA, and the Girl Scouts. A lover of animals, she has a rescued Dachshund named Bella.

On this week's episode, I answer allll the questions you sent in: about my Nancy Drew likes, dislikes, my rabbit Reese, books I would love to have in my collection and so much more!

About Amy:Although I'm best known as a yoga therapist for my books and teachings on Yoga and mental health, Yoga for Depression (Harmony Books), Yoga Skills for Therapists (W.W. Norton), and my new card deck Yoga for Your Mood (Sounds True), my passion, ever since I picked up a pencil in the second grade, was to write a book with a character like Nancy Drew who could transport me to a world beyond my suburban bedroom. I grew up in Pittsburgh before it was green and beautiful. Like the darkened riverfront lit by the coal fires of J & L Steel, my world view was bleak. I read to find a brighter place in other worlds, and I wanted to write books that could meet that bleakness and transcend it. In pursuit of that desire, I returned to school, earning the Master of Fine Arts in literary fiction from Bennington College Writing Seminars in 2000.My short fiction and poetry appeared in numerous literary journals. I received the Allen Tate Memorial Award for the Short Story and was a finalist for the William Faulkner Award for the Novel and for the Heekin Group Foundation Fellowship for the novel-in-progress. I also received Second Place, in the Writer's Digest Writing Competition for Literary Fiction.I began my love affair with yoga in the late 1980's, after a successful career in television broadcasting that garnered the documentaries I wrote and produced national and regional awards but did not alleviate my chronic depression. When I started practicing yoga daily, with supervision, I was able to titrate off medication and find joy in the world once again. As my practice deepened, I wrote for magazines like Yoga Journal and Yoga International and wrote the first feature article about yoga and depression called “Yoga the Natural Prozac”, which appeared on the cover of Yoga Journal in 1999. My own recovery led me to research and write books on yoga and mental health, and I became passionate about sharing what had helped me heal with others who suffered.In 2004, I founded the LifeForce Yoga® Healing Institute, which continues to train yoga teachers and health care providers in yoga practices appropriate in clinical and yoga therapy settings. I'm happy that the evidence-based yoga protocol for managing mood I developed is in use in health care settings throughout the world. This protocol is featured on audio-visual products, including the LifeForce Yoga series, an award-winning library of evidence-based yoga and meditation CDs and DVDs for mood management.I love yoga and continue to teach workshops and trainings, but a book by my dear yogi brother and friend Stephen Cope called The Great Work of Your Life, set me on a course to reclaim my dharma. I returned to writing fiction in 2016, and though I have written several other novels, TEMPLE DANCER is the first to be published.Amy's WebsiteSupport the show

One in four women will be the victim of rape or attempted rape in their lifetime and of those rapes, at least 25 percent of the perpetrators will use drugs to assist their sexual assault. Commonly known as roofies, this collection of drugs can take effect in as little as 10 to 15 minutes, not giving us ladies very much time to Nancy Drew the reason why the room is spinning that stranger is now ushering us out to an Uber we don't remember ordering.  Enter Joy Hoover, creator of Esōes Cosmetics (prounced S.O.S., for obvious reasons). Her ingenious Bluetooth-connected lipgloss is not only an actual cosmetic, but also a livesaving device that can test your drink to see if it's been spiked, but also send an emergency message to anyone in your contacs or call emergency services with a simple click.  Yes, we wish we had a product that stopped men from raping rather than a product that stopped women from getting raped but we this is the reality we're currently in.

Do you think you know what they did last summer? Think again! Our 2025 Summer/Fall Donation Drive kicks off today with our review of I Know What You Did Last Summer, the 1997 slasher that made hook hands cool again. But before the gore, there was... guilt? In this bonus episode, Arnie digs into the 1973 young-adult novel by Lois Duncan. But slasher fans be warned: there's no fisherman, no slickers, and definitely no body count. Just a group of teens, a hit-and-run, and a slow-burning mystery that's more Nancy Drew than Ghostface.  Find out what changed, what got lost in translation, and why Duncan was not thrilled with the adaptation, in this bonus book review podcast.
