Mark Leslie Lefebvre is the author of more than thirty books that include the award-winning humorous urban fantasy Canadian Werewolf series— hailed by readers as “the thinking man's werewolf”—and his award-nominated ghostly explorations such as Haunted Hospitals and Tomes of Terror. He is also the editor of more than ten anthologies that include titles in the Hugo Award Nominated Pulphouse Fiction Magazine and the Aurora Award-winning Tesseracts series, which showcases the best in Canadian speculative fiction. His work has been translated into French, Italian, and German. While choosing the shorter and easier-to-spell moniker of Mark Leslie for most of his writing, Mark leverages his full name for work in inspiring, informing, and assisting other authors. Mark's first short story was published in 1992, the same year he began in the book industry. He is a tireless advocate for libraries, bookstores, and other authors and has held the roles of president of The Canadian Booksellers Association, board member for BookNet Canada, chair of the Professional Advisor Committee for Sheridan College's Honours Degree in Writing and Publishing, and Director of Self-Publishing and Author Relations for Rakuten, Kobo, Inc. where he launched Kobo Writing Life. A pioneer in digital publishing, Mark has embraced both traditional and self-publishing routes and continues to look for new ways that technology and innovation can improve the industry for all authors. He has appeared on countless podcasts, television, and radio programs and has spoken on stages across Canada and the United States as well as in England, Germany, France, and Italy. Mark's weekly podcast, Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing—launched in January 2018— takes an unflinching look at the reality of the publishing world with a balanced take on the pros and cons of various publishing routes. One of his greatest passions is helping writers navigate the bold new realms and opportunities that continue to unfold as the industry evolves. Mark Leslie Lefebvre became a Writers of the Future judge in 2024. “Fantastic fiction has long been considered the herald of possibility. If so, then writers are the pioneering champions of inspiring the world in creative and imaginative ways that can bring form and reality to that raw potential. One of the most significant things we can do as writers is to inspire others to dream well beyond the limits and constraints of our world—to imagine the infinite potency and wonders that lie just on the other side of ‘what if.' Those whose mission is to seek out and celebrate new imaginative voices, to offer them a platform to launch their words, dreams, and stories, and to provide guidance as they navigate a complex and ever-changing publishing industry are the purveyors of possibility in the finest sense. And that is what Writers of the Future has always been. I am proud and honored to join the prestigious panel of world-class writers, artists and all of the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes in continuing L. Ron Hubbard's magnificent vision of paying it forward to the creative minds of tomorrow.” —Mark Leslie Lefebvre Find out more at: markleslie.ca markleslie.ca/about/

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.Here's one for the poets!In this special episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, Rhonda Douglas hosts a poetry panel featuring four accomplished poets: Kess Mohammadi, Guy Elston, Lorne Daniel, and Melissa Powless Day. Together, they read from their latest works and share an honest conversation about building poetry collections, navigating mentorship, and growing alongside their readers.Each poet begins by reading a piece from their newest collection. Lorne Daniel shares “Crushed” from What Is Broken Binds Us (University of Calgary Press), a raw reflection on family challenges, addictions, and the small, startling moments that carry us through. Guy Elston lightens the room with humor and poignancy in “Statement from the Board of Directors,” from his debut collection The Character Actor Convention (The Porcupine's Quill, 2025). Kess Mohammadi reads a dreamlike, image-rich untitled piece from Book of Interruptions (Wolsak & Wynn, 2025), a manuscript deeply influenced by mentorship and philosophical inquiry. And Melissa Powless Day brings us “Tree Museum” from her debut full-length collection A Bow Forged from Ash (Anstruther Press, 2023), weaving Indigenous history and relationships to the land with lyrical power.From there, Rhonda invites each poet to talk about the origin story of their latest books. For some, like Lorne, the poems emerged out of lived experiences and personal struggles, gradually coalescing into a manuscript. For Guy, the breakthrough came when he shifted from confessional writing to persona poems, realizing that even when he inhabited different characters, his own voice still shone through. Kess shares how mentorship opportunities, supported by the Ontario Arts Council, provided guidance for a more intentional project. And Melissa reflects on how themes naturally braided themselves through her poetry, growing into a cohesive collection.The conversation also touches on what it feels like to publish a debut collection versus later works. Guy and Melissa speak to the excitement (and the “high”) of holding a first full-length book, while Kess and Lorne reflect on the evolving nature of readership and how the literary landscape has shifted over decades. Kess notes that book two often feels different, with less external excitement but deeper engagement from dedicated readers.Finally, the poets discuss mentorship—formal and informal. Lorne recalls receiving letters and guidance from Al Purdy, and the importance of staying connected to community. Guy admits he's still finding his way with mentorship, while Kess explains how seeking a Muslim elder for conversations on Perso-Islamic philosophy shaped Book of Interruptions. Melissa describes mentorship as something rooted in community, often happening organically through relationships, and pays tribute to her “literary auntie,” Shani Ray Rogers.Whether you're a poet just starting out, working on your first manuscript, or deep into your writing journey, this conversation will leave you inspired. Our guests remind us that poetry is as much about relationships—between writers, readers, and community—as it is about the words on the page.

As a young child, Patrick frequently saw his mother engrossed in a forest's worth of fantasy and science fiction novels. Wanting to join in the fun, he read his first ‘big-person' novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, when he was eight. Although far above his reading level, he pushed through, several hours a day, taking literally longer to reach Rivendell than Sam and Frodo. This magical experience hooked him on speculative fiction forever. In his teens, he was bit by the writing bug and later abandoned a degree in engineering to pursue a degree in English literature. He fell into teaching, first as a way to support his writing hobby/habit, then as a vocation where he was lucky enough to spend every day helping young people become better versions of themselves. Over a twenty-year teaching career, Patrick has taught phys-ed (i.e. dodgeball) to Fortnite-obsessed middle schoolers, the enigmatic complexity of Hamlet to university-bound high schoolers and everything in between. He has learned that almost every part of the curriculum has room for a little humor — sometimes a lot of humor. When he's not writing fantasy and science fiction, Patrick enjoys playing Dungeons and Dragons with his wife and two children and going on long walks in the woods with his golden retrievers, Ciri and Arwen. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 42nd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. Steven Heumann is a seasoned storyteller with over 20 years of experience crafting narratives across television, film, and publishing. As the founder of Super Heumann Creative, he leads a boutique agency dedicated to helping individuals and brands preserve their stories through ghostwritten books and documentary video. As a successful fiction author, Steven has published 10 full-length sci-fi thriller novels in the creative vein of the Twilight Zone, creating stories that can be enjoyed on multiple levels for readers who appreciate a deeper dive into character. He currently lives in Bluffdale, Utah with his wife and six children. Find out more at: www.SuperHeumann.com

I'm thrilled to share the latest episode of our podcast, featuring an incredible conversation with Anthony Quill, Managing Director of Alti Peterman Global and adjunct professor of investments at Hamlin University. Anthony's journey from a working-class background to advising ultra-high-net-worth entrepreneurial families is nothing short of inspiring. Here are some key takeaways and intriguing insights from our chat:

Mike Strickland has made a career out of writing everything from marketing copy and finance articles to technical documentation and mobile app messages—and even twenty thousand science fiction-themed trivia questions. Other jobs he's been paid to do include scuba diver, navigator, call center representative, user experience designer, and now, science fiction author. His love of words began with fantasy and sci-fi, where it has now brought him full circle. After a long hiatus from fiction, Mike started writing and publishing again in 2024. A year later, he earned a master's degree in creative writing and won the prestigious Writers of the Future Contest. The story idea for “As Long as You Both Shall Live” was born from a dream two days before the Writers of the Future contest deadline. Mike wrote most of the story on the day of the deadline itself—his most prolific day of writing yet. The inspiration that powered such output focused on this question: “If technology allowed a person's consciousness to be transferred to a virtual environment, disconnected from their physical body, what would happen if that person's body died while their consciousness was in that state?” Mike explores the ethical questions inherent in this premise through the context of a hopeful love story—as all the best stories are told. Kathleen Powell received 18 awards from Writers of the Future before claiming her place in the 2026 anthology—two of them finalist stories. Since winning Writers of the Future, she placed third in the 2025 Baen Fantasy Adventure Award contest. When not writing about changelings or happily reading folklore and fantasy from across the world, she is usually thinking about writing changelings or reading folklore (she also likes tea). The inspiration for her winning story, “Saffron and Marigolds,” came after reading “Circulate” by L. Ron Hubbard in Writers of the Future Volume 39. In that essay, Hubbard writes “And in despair, we wail that there is nothing of interest in our surroundings or in the lives we lead. We say that and we believe it…If we knew our surroundings well enough, we could put them on paper. Someone else comes around, looks us over and studies our environment for a brief period and then goes off to write a novel. Why, we moan, didn't we write that book?” Well, why not? After writing about New York and London and Iowa (they have a tulip festival!), she decided to give writing about a place she knew firsthand a shot. After all, why should faeries and dragons and grand adventures always exist only somewhere “far, far away?” So “Saffron and Marigolds” is based in the little city where she attended college, and features good friends, high stakes, and cheese, because those, after all, are the essentials in any magic story. She hopes the locals will enjoy recognizing a few familiar details, and that readers everywhere will remember impossible adventures aren't always so far away as we might think. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 42nd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. The Writers of the Future Contest judges include, Tim Powers (author of On Stranger Tides), Kevin J. Anderson and Brian Herbert (Dune prequel series), Robert J. Sawyer (The Oppenheimer Alternative), Brandon Sanderson (Mistborn series, The Stormlight Archive), Larry Niven (Ringworld), Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game), Nnedi Okorafor (Who Fears Death), Hugh Howey (Wool), and Katherine Kurtz (Deryni series) to name a few.

Old ties resurface and new magic reshapes the party's path. Quill, weary of fractured conversations, expands a simple spell into a ritual that unites every voice—earning Lenore's rare admiration. Grom uncovers a chilling truth in Duxon's oath book and bestiary, while Willa shares a poem she cannot remember writing. As the Tattooed Man withdraws with Lenore and Drevin vanishes once more, bonds are tested, shadows deepen, and preparations begin for journeys that reach beyond the Material Plane.Beddlym's Social Hour contains adult language and adult situations.

When not teaching English or writing speculative, fantasy, and science fiction, he dabbles in juggling, solving the Rubik's Cube, and learning other languages (his Spanish is coming along nicely). He has been published by British Science Fiction Association, Wilderness House Literary Review, and in Dark Speculations: Volume 1, by Little Red Publishing. "The Boy From Elsewhen '' was inspired by the current social climate across the globe. Everywhere one goes, regardless of country or nation, most people are endlessly staring at their smartphones, unable to look away, and often neglecting other humans around them for the sake of technology. As the dominant species on Earth, we are becoming too dependent on our hand devices, but are no smarter for it. In fact, I feel if the trend continues (and I see no evidence that it won't), future generations won't be able to construct a single solitary thought without AI's assistance. Let's hope that that day, at least, is in the far distant future, after me Daniel Montifar was destined to be an illustrator. Born and raised in Queens, New York, known as the "world's borough" for its rich cultural diversity, Daniel appreciated the melting pot of influences, including his Bolivian and Filipino heritage. Surrounded by art wherever he went in NYC and being raised by a Star Wars loving mom and a dad with a treasure trove of comics dating back to his high school days, his early fascination in the realm of sci-fi and fantasy fueled his passion for drawing. He became the kid who always had a sketchbook in hand, capturing scenes from his imagination wherever he went. Prior to the pandemic, while still a freshman in high school, he moved to Houston, Texas where Daniel delved deeper into the world of art. This transition was a pivotal chapter in his artistic evolution, as he honed his skills and explored new artistic horizons. His work won several competitions including the Golden Key Scholastic Art Award and the AIGA Worldstudio Award.

That is why the Lord says, “Turn to me now, while there is time. Give me your hearts. Come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Don't tear your clothing in your grief, but tear your hearts instead.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. He is eager to relent and not punish.

LAZARUS BLACK Writers of the Future Winner – Biography Lazarus Black is an American author of genre fiction living under the shadow of a Pacific Northwest volcano with three Goddesses, his wife and two daughters. “Psychic Poker” is Lazarus's first sale, but hardly his last. It juxtaposes poker, the synthesis of probability and human behavior, with psychic powers, the solution to both probability and the chaos of free will. What if every player is psychic? What if no player has an advantage? What if their lives are at stake? But the strength of the story is in the reluctant main character: Tyson Young, a middle-aged Aussie with an acute wit. Lazarus writes from life. His stories are inspired by the diverse communities he has lived in, plus friends and family across the globe. He specifically attacks stereotypes and reinvents tropes to reflect authentic experiences that are sometimes stranger than fiction. He once earned a free funeral until the mortician learned his name was Lazarus and a good laugh was had by all (bystanders included). A true lover of learning, Lazarus has traversed North America dozens of times, has been a professional artist, advertising creative, software developer, database designer, epigrapher, executive, educator, inventor, game designer, pool hustler, heathen clergyman, machinist's apprentice, glass blower, scholar, actor, many other roles, and now published author of fiction. He hopes you enjoy “Psychic Poker” and look forward to reading more from him in the future. For more about Lazarus go to www.lazarus.black ROBERT J.

Storm Humbert is a science fiction and fantasy writer from a small town called Fayette (literally a one stoplight town) in northwest Ohio near the Michigan border. He did his undergraduate studies at The Ohio State University, where he earned a degree in English literature with minors in creative writing and theater. For two years after he finished his bachelor's degree, Storm worked odd jobs ranging from newspaper editing to creating animated digital advertisements (and basically anything in between). Storm later earned an MFA from Temple University in Philadelphia, where he had the opportunity to study under Samuel R. Delany, Don Lee, and other great instructors. He has taught a variety of writing classes at Temple University and Sienna Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. He currently lives in Michigan with his wife, Casey, son, Sylas, and cats: Chicken Nugget (Nugget for short) and Honey Mustard, and is a professional legal writer, while he continues his own writing. In addition to his own writing, Storm is also the Managing Member of the Calendar of Fools small press (found here). Their first anthology, “Inner Workings” released in 2023, and their second, “Intergalactic Rejects,” which Storm edited, was released in June 2025. Both are available anywhere books are sold. Additionally, Storm was a Silver Honorable Mention in The Writers of the Future Contest in 2016 and a finalist in the same contest in 2018. In the Third Quarter of the 2019 Writers of the Future Contest, Storm won Third Place with his “Stolen Sky”. Danny Hankner began penning stories about himself and his idiot friends as a teenager. Now, masquerading as an adult, he lives in Davenport, Iowa with his wife and kids, working as a master electrician for his own company. In his spare time, Dan rides and builds mountain bike trails, scrapes infinitely spawning cat hurl off the basement floor, and runs Story Unlikely, an award-winning literary magazine where he floats around self-important titles like Benevolent Dictator and Literary Spirit Guide. His written material has been consumed by hundreds of thousands of people from all four corners of the globe.

Tired of the outdated “thirds” model in executive search? Andrew Mears was too. That's why he co-founded Lead Candidate—a niche search firm serving the pharma and bio-outsourcing sector—based on a transparent, fixed-fee subscription model that's up to 30% more cost-effective than traditional pricing. In this episode, Andrew reveals how Lead Candidate went from break-even to 133% revenue growth by rethinking everything: pricing, positioning, sales, and even internal rituals like “Tom's Day of Bad Ideas.” You'll hear how they grew entirely through referrals—no cold calls, no job scraping, no outbound—and why clients commit to 3–18 month subscription agreements that provide predictable revenue for the firm and budgeting certainty for their CFOs. If you're a recruitment firm owner frustrated with unpredictable billings, client churn, or the limitations of contingent search, this conversation will show you what's possible when you lead with values, relevance, and partnership—not pitches. Episode Highlights [3:24] Why Andrew left a COO role to start over during COVID—and how a health scare changed his outlook [12:22] The broken search pricing model—and how Lead Candidate built a better one [22:30] Defining a niche within a niche: how their positioning sets them apart [31:55] Capsule vs. Scale vs. Annual Subscription: how their pricing tiers work [43:39] Why they broke even for 2 years—then tripled revenue during a downturn [56:42] How they land clients without cold outreach [1:08:06] Tom's Day of Bad Ideas: the internal ritual that drives innovation [1:19:20] How they're using AI tools like Quill to free up human interaction Why This Subscription Model Works Instead of charging a percentage of salary in staged fees, Lead Candidate scopes each project based on hiring volume, role complexity, and delivery effort. Pricing is fixed, agreed upfront, and delivered via subscription—typically 3, 6, or 12+ months. This approach gives clients cost transparency and spending predictability—especially valuable for VC-backed, resource-constrained companies—and positions Lead Candidate as a strategic partner rather than a transactional vendor. No Cold Calls, Just Clients Lead Candidate didn't rely on cold outreach. Before launching, Andrew's team surveyed the market, co-created their offer with prospects, and built deep trust through relevance and listening. Their early clients didn't need convincing—they were already bought in. “We never sold. We just listened. The worst outcome was a great conversation.” This approach helped them create a high-conviction pipeline, long-term client relationships, and sticky recurring revenue—without chasing unqualified leads or relying on outdated biz dev tactics. A Values-First Growth Story The journey wasn't easy. For the first two years, they broke even. But Andrew and his co-founders stayed true to their niche, hired with care, and grew by reputation. By 2024, the firm had grown 133% in revenue and 250% in headcount—without compromising on culture or delivery quality. “We built the business the market told us it needed—and just stayed true to it.” About Andrew Mears Andrew is the CEO of Lead Candidate, a search firm he co-founded in 2020 to champion talent in the global life sciences sector. He began his career in HR before moving into executive recruitment, where he's spent 16+ years building national and international practices.

Greg is running the DisCap Monthly this Saturday at Porcupine Springs DGC in Petersburgh, NY and a PDGA Doubles Tournament there on Sunday. He joined to tell us all about it and give us a little of his Disc Golf story. Corey and Jasan spent the weekend battling the heat and some of the Northeast's best at the Warwick Disc Golf Championships. Alex hopped on fresh off his Summer Battle Royale elimination match against Adam Schumaker. We heard about that and Greg and Erich also had Battle Royale matches to talk about. While Randy had some Honey Do's last weekend, he buried the lede about his Stonykill Ace, thankfully Greg reminded us. Evan may or may not have played Disc Golf last weekend but we were more interested in hearing more about the new New England Team Challenge team operating out of JPark later this year. We also went over our Warwick Picks from last week, Jasan had a PDGA rules question for us to ponder and we fit in a round of Disc or No Disc.Support the showSpecial Thanks to our Patreon Supporters: Branden Cline, Tim Goyette, Peter Hodge, Ryan Nelson, Kevin T.
