Podcasts about Red House

Every writer has imagined it: the book deal comes through, and suddenly a publishing house swoops in with a marketing team, a book tour, and a private jet waiting on the tarmac. (Okay, maybe not the jet.) But when the launch date arrives and the phone doesn't ring, a lot of authors are left wondering what went wrong.In this episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi Lipp tackles one of the hardest — and most freeing — truths in publishing: your publisher is not your marketing department. Kathi talks with author and publisher Susy Flory, who now sits on both sides of the table, about what a publisher actually does, what belongs to the author, and why understanding the difference is the key to a launch that doesn't leave you crushed.Why This Conversation Matters for WritersIf you've ever felt abandoned after your launch week, confused about why your book isn't on a featured table at the bookstore, or overwhelmed by the idea that marketing is now your job on top of everything else in your life — this episode is for you. Kathi and Susy talk honestly about disappointment, unrealistic expectations, and the very real ways authors can connect with readers without a five-figure marketing budget.In This Episode, Listeners Will Learn:The actual job description of a publisher — produce the book, make it available, distribute it — and where that job endsThe difference between publicity (free, pitched, story-driven) and marketing (paid, transactional) — and why confusing the two sets writers up for disappointmentWhy publishers and agents are so focused on the size of your audience, and what that means for writers building a platform from scratchWhat "author-owned marketing" looks like in real life, and how to start it long before your book releasesWhy public speaking and teaching may still be the most effective connection tool an introverted writer hasHow to identify your unique advantages — the readers you can reach that your publisher never couldWhat can go wrong even with a great publisher, and how to hold your expectations with open handsThe question to ask before pitching yourself to another creator's audience (hint: it's not "here's what I want to talk about")Why setting aside your own marketing money matters — and what to ask your publisher before you sign the contractThe Heart of ItAs Kathi puts it, this isn't about being cynical — it's about being protected. There's a world of difference between being perpetually disappointed and being genuinely empowered. Your publisher loves your book. They chose it. But they don't know your people. You do.Susy reminds listeners that readers don't buy books from HarperCollins. They buy from you — the writer they know, trust, and want to hear from. And that relationship isn't a burden to dread. It's the whole point.Listen to this episode for a clear-eyed, encouraging look at what's actually yours to carry as an author — and how to carry it well.

Do you ever buy something at the store only to come home and realize you already had three of them tucked away somewhere? You're not alone—and you're definitely not bad with money. You're just a busy human being navigating real life. In this episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi and Roger Lipp dive into one of the most powerful Low Buy July strategies: shopping your own house. When they first moved into the Red House, they discovered that almost everything they needed was already there. The problem? As life took over, finding those items became harder and harder. What Listeners Will Discover This episode tackles the real reasons we end up with duplicates—forgetting what we have, impulse sales purchases, and the sneaky habit of "saving things for good." Kathi walks through practical ways to gather, sort, and actually use the personal care products, clothes, and kitchen items that are already taking up space in your home. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Establish a home base for backstock: Know exactly where your backup dental floss, lip balm, and other essentials live so you never panic-buy again The "Where would you look for it?" quiz: A simple question that helps everyone in your household find what they need without one person carrying all the mental load Stop saving things for good: That fancy lotion, special perfume, or beautiful shirt? The older it gets, the less good it becomes. You're worth using it today Light triage your products: Check expiration dates, toss what's truly expired, and corral the rest where you can actually see what you have Have a plan for consumables: Especially for items with short shelf lives, being intentional about how you'll use them prevents waste and saves money The Heart of Low Buy July Low Buy July isn't about deprivation—it's about discovery. It's about finding out what you already own and giving yourself permission to actually enjoy it. As Kathi reminds listeners, "The good stuff was given to us or bought for us to enjoy, not to guard." Whether you're dealing with a drawer full of half-used shampoos or a closet of clothes you're saving for someday, this episode offers the gentle push you need to shop your own house first—and maybe skip the store altogether this month.

You have a book on your hard drive. Maybe it's been there for months. Maybe years. You're passionate about it, you believe in the story, and yet somehow it just won't get finished. Sound familiar? In this episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi sits down with prolific author and ghostwriter Julie Lyles Carr to unpack why finishing feels so impossibly hard—even when we desperately want to cross that finish line. With nearly 30 ghostwriting titles under her belt alongside her own published works, Julie noticed something fascinating about her own writing habits: the projects with external deadlines always got done, while her passion projects languished on the "island of lost stories." What You'll Learn in This Episode Why self-imposed deadlines fail (and what research reveals about the psychology behind it) The three types of deadline structures—and which one sets you up for failure How "time blindness" sabotages your writing goals without you even realizing it Why having a single final deadline is the least effective approach for completing your book The power of external accountability and paced interim deadlines Key Takeaways The deadline difference is real: Research from 2002 (Ariely and Wertenbroch) found that students with professor-imposed interim deadlines significantly outperformed those who set their own deadlines or had only one final deadline. One big deadline = big failure rate: A 2024 study by Heinemann and Bisson confirmed that single final deadlines have the highest failure rate. If you're saying "I want the book done by Christmas" without breaking it into smaller milestones, you're using the least effective model. External eyes matter: There's something powerful about having someone else see whether you've lived up to your goals. It's not about shame—it's about accountability that moves you forward. Compare your ideal progress against your actual calendar: Be realistic about what's happening in your life. Front-load your work instead of hoping to catch up at the end. If you're ready to stop making excuses and start making progress, this episode offers both the science and the encouragement you need to finally get your project across the finish line.

Do you feel like your writing dreams are always stuck on "someday"? You're not alone. Many writers struggle to move from dreaming about their book to actually making progress—especially when life is full of other responsibilities. In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, Kathi Lipp sits down with Tenneil Register to pull back the curtain on the quarterly planning process used inside the Red House Writers Collective. This isn't about fancy calendars or color-coded spreadsheets. It's about a simple, practical framework that helps writers finally get traction. The Create, Serve, Build Framework Kathi introduces the three-part framework that structures each quarter in the Collective: Create: Focus on your bigger projects—your book, a speech, a paid membership. This is where the 30-Day 10K challenge lives, encouraging writers to produce 10,000 words on their work in progress. Serve: How are you nurturing your audience right now? This could be social media, newsletters, or podcasting—anything that builds connection before your book launches. Build: Growing your business and platform. This might mean attending a conference, developing a coaching practice, or pitching to media outlets. Why Quarters Work for Writers Writing is a long game—books take years. But a quarter is the perfect unit of time to make real, measurable progress. Tenneil shares how quarterly thinking transformed her approach: "What I was missing was traction. I wasn't missing topics. I wasn't even missing a platform. I was missing traction." Making Goals Practical, Not Just Pretty The episode offers honest advice about avoiding common traps—planning too small or waiting for the perfect cabin-in-the-woods writing retreat. Instead, Kathi encourages listeners to break big goals into daily doable steps. Even 333 words a day adds up to 10,000 words in a month. Key Takeaways Start with just one goal for each month: Create, Serve, Build Break those goals into smaller, daily steps You don't need fancy systems—Post-it notes work just fine A realistic goal is one you can pitch in 30 seconds or less Progress beats perfection every time Whether you're just starting your writing journey or you've been at it for years, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how to move from dreaming to doing. Listen now and start planning your next quarter with purpose.

Every writer or creative entrepreneur has faced it: that gut-punch moment when the numbers take a nosedive. Whether it's email subscribers disappearing, podcast downloads plummeting, or engagement grinding to a halt, the temptation to panic—or quit altogether—is real. In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, Kathi Lipp and her husband Roger Lipp tackle the uncomfortable topic of what to do when the metrics aren't going your way. Drawing from their own hard-won experiences (including losing two-thirds of their email list overnight and watching podcast numbers crater due to algorithm changes), they offer practical wisdom for writers who feel like the ground is shifting beneath them. What Listeners Will Discover This conversation is packed with insights for anyone feeling the pressure of stalled growth or declining numbers: How to reframe a crisis as a season of evaluation—not a reason to shut everything down The danger of over-correcting and how panic decisions can erode audience trust What NOT to change: your core message, your audience, and your values What you CAN tweak: delivery methods, content format, and how you engage your community How to gather feedback wisely—without crowdsourcing or letting outlier criticism define you Key Takeaways Panic shows up in your work. When you're in crisis mode, you may find yourself copying others, working harder with fewer results, or promoting things that don't align with who you are. Recognizing these signs is the first step to course-correcting. Faithfulness beats frantic growth. The goal isn't growth at any cost—it's building something sustainable that you can live with. That means holding fast to your message while being light on your feet about how you deliver it. Feedback informs direction; it doesn't define identity. Not all feedback carries equal weight. Seek out trusted voices, filter the outliers, and remember that you are not the feedback you receive. Whether you're navigating a platform setback or simply feeling the weight of slow growth, this episode offers the encouragement and practical framework to keep moving forward—anchored, not anxious.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!Before it became a sprawling 12,000-square-foot estate, the Cheney Mansion in Jerseyville, Illinois, began as the humble Red House in 1827. Built as the area's first frame house, it stood with just two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. Yet even in its early days, the property became more than just a family home. It served as a stagecoach stop for weary travelers, a lively tavern, a doctor's office, and even a bank. Most remarkably, its cistern is believed to have hidden enslaved people seeking freedom along the Underground Railroad—adding a powerful layer of human history to its walls.Over the decades, the Red House grew into the Cheney Mansion, a place of grandeur and prominence in Jerseyville. Thanks to the tireless efforts of local volunteers, it remains in remarkable condition today. But some believe that its well-preserved beauty is only part of the story. Many say the spirits of former residents and visitors never left. Among them is P.D. Cheney himself, whose presence is often felt within the mansion's historic halls. Reports of unexplained sounds, mysterious figures, and an undeniable energy have convinced many that the mansion is still very much alive with ghostly activity.From stagecoach guests who never checked out to long-past owners still keeping watch, the Cheney Mansion is a site where history and the paranormal intertwine.Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with Roger Scheffel to explore the incredible history and chilling hauntings of this Illinois landmark.#HauntedHouse #HauntedIllinois #TheGraveTalks #GhostStories #HauntedHistory #HauntedMansion #UndergroundRailroad #HistoricHauntings #HauntedPlaces #UnexplainedPhenomenaLove real ghost stories?

Hallo Freunde freue mich sehr euch heute eine neue Episode meiner ÉCHOS NOCTURNES Mix Serie präsentieren zu können. Diesmal mit Costanza aka KOUNI 蔻妮 aus Florenz, Italien. Viel Spaß Kurt Kjergaard Hello friends, I am very happy to present a new episode of my ÉCHOS NOCTURNES mix series to you today. This time featuring Costanza, aka KOUNI 蔻妮, from Florence, Italy. Enjoy! Kurt Kjergaard LINK Soundcloud https://soundcloud.com/comonnie INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/kouni.ofc/ BIO Costanza, known artistically as Kouni, whose Chinese name is "Cardamon Girl," began her DJ career performing across Tuscany and eventually expanding to other Italian locations and Beijing. Born in Pistoia, she moved to Thailand at the age of 17, later to Milan to earn a degree in Architecture, to London to study Chinese, and finally to China to pursue her intercultural exploration through studies and work. Throughout her journey, she has nurtured her passion for electronic music by attending events to draw inspiration, blending sounds influenced by diverse ethnicities. Upon returning to Italy in 2020, she resumed studying the transverse flute and sang ethnic music with the Agorà Choir in Pistoia. Her love for Asia, where she lived for several years, and the garage and acid sounds she discovered in London, have shaped her eclectic style, connecting house, speed garage, and acid techno. Kouni has played in major events with the Florence-based Artax collective, opening for guests like Stephan Krus, Sumia, Lee Ann Roberts, Sara Mozzillo, and SPFDJ, experimenting with raw techno. She has performed in several prominent Florentine clubs such as Tenax Club, bringing northern European house sounds, as well as at Babylon Club, XO Club, Fiorino sull'Arno, Play Techno in Pontedera, and clubs in Sardinia and Lake Garda. Her journey took her to Beijing's Red House and Platea, where she delivered an eclectic musical style as a cultural link between the countries she loves. For Kouni, a lover of arts, culture, and beauty, electronic music transcends linguistic barriers, uniting people. Her dream is to connect music and green spaces, a vision she brings to life daily as a garden architect. Now resident at Tropical Animals events.

Have you ever dreamed of seeing yourself on local TV promoting your book or message—but had no idea where to start? You're not alone. Many writers feel overwhelmed by the idea of pitching media, building relationships with producers, and finding that newsworthy angle that gets them booked. In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, Kathi Lipp sits down with Tenneil Register, a writer and entrepreneur who has been appearing on local TV for nearly 20 years. Tenneil shares her practical, relationship-centered approach to building community partnerships that have put her in front of new audiences again and again—without ever feeling salesy or pushy. What You'll Learn in This Episode How to find the newsworthy angle in what you're promoting The key to crafting a pitch that makes a producer's job easier Why serving the audience (not selling your book) is the secret to getting asked back How to build and maintain a media contact database What "aftercare" looks like to strengthen your media relationships The power of leave-behind gifts and personal touches Key Takeaways Lead with service, not self-promotion. The most successful media appearances happen when you focus on solving a problem for the audience rather than promoting yourself. When you serve the producer's goals and their viewers' needs, you become someone they want to book again. Be supremely askbackable. Show up prepared, don't overstep boundaries, deliver everything a producer needs, and make their job as easy as possible. That's how you get invited back. Your pitch should read like a news headline. Producers don't have time to read three-page emails. Be clear, succinct, and include the "why now" that connects your topic to their audience's current needs. Relationships matter more than one-time appearances. Treat producers and hosts like the humans they are. Remember details about their lives, follow up with gratitude, and promote their show on your own platforms. Whether you're a first-time author or a seasoned speaker looking to expand your reach, this episode will give you the confidence and clarity to start building your own community partnerships.

If you're planning to pitch a book this year, you might be surprised to learn that the strategies that worked just a few years ago may not cut it anymore. The publishing landscape has shifted dramatically, and understanding these changes could make all the difference in whether your book finds its audience. What You'll Learn in This Episode In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, host Kathi Lipp sits down with literary agent Barb Roose from Books and Such Literary Agency to unpack the critical shifts in book pitching for 2026. Whether you're preparing for conference season or crafting your first query letter, this conversation will help you approach publishers and agents with confidence. The AI Factor in Publishing Barb explains why literary agents can often tell when a query has been AI-generated—and why that matters. She shares practical wisdom about using AI as a tool without letting it undermine your unique voice and intellectual property. The key takeaway? Publishers want books that come from the DNA of humans, especially in faith-based publishing where trust is paramount. Understanding Discoverability in 2026 With 85% of books sold on Amazon and millions of titles competing for attention, how do readers find your book? Barb breaks down the concept of "niche felt need"—the specific problem readers are trying to solve or the exact type of story they're searching for. She offers a practical framework for researching your category and understanding what makes bestselling books in your space successful. The Rule of Three Barb shares her "rule of three" strategy for social media research: find three authors slightly ahead of you in your lane, study their social media comments, and identify what their readers are connecting with. This isn't about copying—it's about understanding what resonates and bringing your unique experience to meet that need. Key Takeaways Good books will always find readers, but you must help readers find your book Your story and experience are what set you apart—don't outsource your thinking to AI Do your Amazon research before pitching to understand what's already in your category Niche down: "Moms who are stressed" is too broad; "moms of small children with control issues" is discoverable Study the comments on successful authors' social media to understand what readers connect with If you're serious about getting your book into the hands of readers who need it, this episode will help you refine your approach and pitch with confidence in 2026.

Have you ever felt stuck trying to narrow down your target reader? What if your book naturally speaks to two very different audiences? In this episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi Lipp sits down with bestselling author and acquisitions editor Jennifer Dukes Lee to explore what happens when you break the "one ideal reader" rule. Jennifer opens up about the challenge she faced while writing her latest book, How to Love Your Morning. On one hand, she was writing to productivity-loving morning people who wanted to level up their routines. On the other, she was reaching out to those who dread mornings and have convinced themselves they could never change. How do you write—and market—a book that speaks to both? What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Jennifer chose to acknowledge both audiences on the very first page of her book How to identify when your book genuinely serves two different reader groups The three-pronged social media strategy Jennifer uses to reach both audiences What a "negative carousel" is and how it connects with reluctant readers Why neutral content (like famous people's morning routines) attracts everyone How this strategy can apply to other book topics beyond morning routines Key Takeaways for Writers Jennifer's approach challenges the conventional wisdom that every book must have one narrowly defined reader. While she still narrowed her audience to women, she discovered that by being transparent about who she was writing to—and creating targeted marketing for each group—she could serve both audiences well. For writers struggling with the "who is this for?" question, this episode offers permission to think creatively about your audience while still being strategic in your marketing approach. Whether you're in the book proposal stage or knee-deep in promotion, Jennifer's insights will help you think differently about reaching the readers who need your message most.

Do you find yourself staring at a blank page when it's time to write your newsletter? You know you should be connecting with your readers regularly, but between writing your book, managing social media, and all of life's other responsibilities, the newsletter keeps slipping through the cracks.In this practical episode, Kathi and Roger Lipp dive into three specific ways AI can remove the friction from your newsletter workflow—without sacrificing your authentic voice or creative control.What You'll Discover in This EpisodeWhether you're sending newsletters weekly or struggling to get one out quarterly, this episode addresses the real barriers that keep writers from connecting with their audience consistently.Finding Your Newsletter ThemesLearn how to feed AI your existing content—podcast transcripts, blog posts, speaking notes—and let it identify themes you may have missed. This approach helps you create cohesive newsletters that point readers to your deeper content while saving hours of brainstorming time.Formatting Help That Actually WorksIf drag-and-drop newsletter builders pull you out of your creative flow, discover how to ask AI to generate HTML that you can drop directly into your email platform. Roger shares specific tips for working with Claude and why it follows formatting instructions better than other AI tools.Copy Editing With PurposeGo beyond grammar and spelling checks. Learn how to use AI to ensure your copy reaches your target audience by providing your reader avatar and asking for specific feedback—while keeping yourself in the driver's seat of your message.Key TakeawaysAI should be your assistant, not your replacement—your readers signed up for YOUR voiceA paid Claude subscription ($17/month) is worth the investment for newsletter formattingAlways test links and verify dates before sending—AI makes assumptions and wants to be "helpful"Ask AI to highlight suggested changes rather than making them automaticallyAn AI-assisted response is better than no response at all when connecting with your audienceThis episode is perfect for writers who value their newsletter readers but struggle to maintain consistency. Kathi and Roger share the exact workflow they use for both their weekly Clutter Free newsletter and bi-monthly Writing at the Red House newsletter.Want to go deeper? The Writing at the Red House Collective will be teaching these AI newsletter techniques step-by-step next month.

Chris Lawrence marks the show's 32nd anniversary and welcomes Brent Null of Null Custom Calls from Red House in Putnam County for a full hour focused on spring gobbler season. Null shares how a late-in-life passion for turkey hunting — rekindled by taking his grandson out — led him to start crafting his own calls just over a year ago, beginning with a wingbone call made from a bird he harvested. Lawrence and Null work through an array of pot calls in the studio, covering materials including frosted glass, ceramic, slate, copper, titanium, and stoned aluminum, discussing how each affects pitch, rasp, and performance in wet conditions. Null also explains his unconventional use of AI to analyze his calls against real turkey vocalizations, and demonstrates a bamboo tube call and bamboo trumpet he built himself. The two close with turkey hunting strategy, scouting tips for Putnam County, and Null's goal of getting his 13-year-old grandson his first gobbler behind one of his handmade calls.

Today we will visit the Indiana State Capitol BuildingThe current Indiana capitol building that graces downtown Indianapolis is the fifth capitol to house the legislature in the state. The act authorizing the construction of the building to replace the previous capitol passed the Indiana legislature on March 4, 1877.The first capitol building, called the Red House, met in Vincennes until the capital moved to Corydon. The legislature used the Corydon building until it moved to Indianapolis in 1825. Legislature used the Marion County Courthouse as the third capital until workers completed construction of the fourth capitol building in 1835. The legislature met in this building until it became unsafe in 1877 and the legislature moved to a state office building constructed in 1865. The legislature met in this office building from 1877 until the workers completed the current capital in 1888.From the Book East Central Indiana Day Trips The Author's WebsiteThe Author on LocalsThe Author on FacebookThe Author on TwitterThe Author on RumbleThe Author on YouTubeThe Author's Amazon Page

In this episode, Northern Ireland dairyman David Irwin, owner of Redhouse Holsteins, explains how he builds functional, profitable Holsteins through balanced genetics, strong cow families, and strategic use of Select Sires' NxGEN® program.

Have you ever poured your heart into a book idea, only to wonder if anyone will actually want to read it? What if there was a way to know—before you write a single chapter—that your message will resonate with readers? In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, Kathi Lipp and Cheri Gregory reveal the approach that separates successful authors from those whose books gather dust: writing your book before you write your book. For writers who feel overwhelmed by the prospect of investing months (or years) into a manuscript without knowing if it will connect, this conversation offers a liberating path forward. Instead of hiding your ideas until they're "perfect," Kathi and Cheri share eight practical ways to test, refine, and develop your message while simultaneously building the audience who's waiting for it. What You'll Discover in This Episode Why keeping your book idea "under wraps" until release is one of the biggest mistakes new authors make How podcasting activates different parts of your brain and surfaces ideas that would never emerge through writing alone The power of being a guest on other podcasts to flex your message for different audiences Why social media feedback—even when it takes your idea in unexpected directions—is invaluable for your writing process How to develop a signature framework that gives your ideas memorable shape The freedom that comes from calling your workshop a "pilot" or "beta" program Why you're not responsible for your readers' transformation—just for providing the tools The mindset shift from "what I want to say" to "what they desperately need to know" Key Takeaways for Writers Start serving now. Publishers, agents, and your future readers don't want you waiting for a book deal to share your message. The book becomes a synthesis of what you've already been teaching—not the starting point. Use different platforms to access different parts of your brain. Speaking and writing engage different cognitive processes. What emerges in conversation may never appear when you're sitting alone trying to craft perfect sentences. Fall in love with your people. The process of testing your message transforms you from someone who has something to say into someone who desperately wants to serve. That shift shows up in every word you write. Whether you're just beginning to dream about your first book or you're refining ideas for your next project, this episode offers a roadmap for developing content that truly connects—long before you type "Chapter One."

Do you ever stare at a blank screen, knowing you have something to say but feeling paralyzed by the pressure to be brilliant? What if you could create meaningful, compelling content in just five minutes—without spiraling into overthinking?In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, Kathi Lipp and storytelling expert Tenneil Register unpack a simple four-part framework that will transform how you approach micro content. Whether you're crafting Instagram reels, blog introductions, newsletter copy, or social media posts, this formula gives you the container you need to share your message with clarity and confidence.What You'll Discover in This EpisodeThe Magnet: How to create an irresistible hook that stops the scroll—using contradiction, observation, tension, or a direct promiseThe Moment: Why a snapshot beats backstory every time, and how to capture your reader's attention in three to five sentencesThe Meaning: The bridge that connects your story to a deeper truth your audience needs to hearThe Move: Five types of content direction—reflective, practical, reframing, invitation, and permission—that transform passive readers into engaged followersWhy This Matters for Your Writing JourneyHere's the truth Kathi shares: You only get one or two big, dramatic stories every decade. The rest of your content—the posts, reels, and emails that build your platform—comes from small, honest moments you're already living. You don't need to be brilliant. You just need to be clear.Tenneil offers a powerful reminder: if you're living, breathing, and moving through life, you already have these moments. From shower curtain rings getting tangled to sitting at your kitchen table with a half-written outline, your ordinary life is full of extraordinary teaching opportunities.Key TakeawaysClarity trumps brilliance—your audience needs to understand you, not be impressed by youIf your hook could belong to anyone, it belongs to no one—make it uniquely yoursThe "move" is what transforms a nice story into content that changes livesYou don't need all four elements at once—capture the moment now, and let the meaning emergeYour big messages are built from small, honest moments

Have you ever felt like you need to start from scratch every time you begin a new writing project? What if the material you've already created—your blog posts, speaking notes, Instagram reels, and journal entries—is actually the foundation for your next book? In this episode of the Writing at the Red House podcast, Kathi Lipp sits down with Becky Keife, author of the brand new book A Verse a Day for the Anxious Soul, to discuss how writers can strategically repurpose their existing content without feeling like they're cutting corners. What You'll Discover in This Episode If you've been building your platform by writing articles, creating social media content, or speaking on your topic, you've been unknowingly stockpiling ingredients for your book. Becky shares how God showed her that the years of content she'd created around anxiety weren't just a safety net—they were her launch pad. Key Insights for Writers Your backlog is a gift, not a shortcut. Instead of viewing repurposed content as lazy writing, recognize it as stewarding what God has already given you. Social proof matters. That Instagram reel that performed well? That conference talk that resonated? Those are signals pointing you toward content that connects with your audience. Research your own words first. Before diving into other experts' books, mine your own articles, journals, speaking notes, and social media posts. Repetition serves your reader. The same story told multiple times can bring fresh insight, deeper connection, and spiritual transformation. Old stories gain new insights. Your perspective evolves, and the Holy Spirit makes new connections over time. Practical Steps to Mine Your Archive Becky offers actionable advice for gathering your existing content: compile everything in one place, block out time to review your own social media, reread old journals, and capture significant paragraphs that apply to your current project. Whether you use Scrivener, Word docs, or simple folders, having your research organized in one space helps your brain stay focused. A Word of Encouragement If you're feeling anxious about writing your book (even if it's not about anxiety!), this conversation will remind you that God has been preparing you all along. The content you've created, the stories you've told, and the insights you've gathered are not random—they're the ingredients for something beautiful.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Mary Morris about her latest novel, The Red House.A lost button at an airport. A plaque on a modest olive tree. A red monolith on a hill that once held people in limbo. My conversation with Mary Morris reveals how these small, stubborn details evolved into The Red House, a propulsive and intimate novel about a daughter following her missing mother's trail across Italy and through the overlooked corners of World War II history.Mary shares how speaking Italian—and loving languages—let her move beyond postcards and step inside local memory, building the kind of empathy that makes fiction feel true. The heart of this episode beats with maternal absence and creative courage. Mary reflects on the teacher who named her a writer, the dream that pushed her to New York, and the decision to return to the sheer pleasure of story over market expectations. We chat about the joy of reading books translated into English, reading for texture, and why art—visual, poetic, and narrative—can hold what direct speech cannot. If you're drawn to literary fiction, historical mystery, Italian settings, WWII history in southern Italy, and novels that braid love, loss, and identity, you'll feel at home here.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves books, and leave a quick review—your notes help more curious readers find us.Mary MorrisSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

Today’s topic is an abandoned mansion, but it was once a gorgeous and luxurious home designed for a prominent citizen of northern Italy.

In this episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi Lipp sits down with author (and soon-to-be Dr.) Susy Flory to unpack how a quiet, three-word Facebook post—“Jesus was non-violent”—became a 30-day conversation and, ultimately, a coauthored book with pastor Scott Johanningsmeier, published by Kregel. If you're a writer who wants to test ideas without adding to the online noise, this story offers a practical, hope-filled roadmap. Listeners will hear how Susy used micro-posts to invite gentle dialogue, watched for authentic reader engagement, and let the idea simmer before shaping it into a proposal—despite industry hurdles like not being a megachurch pastor and pitching a compilation. You'll learn how to create safer spaces for thoughtful discussion, discern when an idea has legs, and embrace unexpected partners and publishers who truly “get” your project. If you've ever wondered whether that one post might be the seed of your next book, this episode will help you listen to your readers—and to the Spirit—as you write.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Before it became a sprawling 12,000-square-foot estate, the Cheney Mansion in Jerseyville, Illinois, began as the humble Red House in 1827. Built as the area's first frame house, it stood with just two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. Yet even in its early days, the property became more than just a family home. It served as a stagecoach stop for weary travelers, a lively tavern, a doctor's office, and even a bank. Most remarkably, its cistern is believed to have hidden enslaved people seeking freedom along the Underground Railroad—adding a powerful layer of human history to its walls. Over the decades, the Red House grew into the Cheney Mansion, a place of grandeur and prominence in Jerseyville. Thanks to the tireless efforts of local volunteers, it remains in remarkable condition today. But some believe that its well-preserved beauty is only part of the story. Many say the spirits of former residents and visitors never left. Among them is P.D. Cheney himself, whose presence is often felt within the mansion's historic halls. Reports of unexplained sounds, mysterious figures, and an undeniable energy have convinced many that the mansion is still very much alive with ghostly activity. From stagecoach guests who never checked out to long-past owners still keeping watch, the Cheney Mansion is a site where history and the paranormal intertwine. This is Part Two of our conversation. Today on The Grave Talks, we sit down with Roger Scheffel to explore the incredible history and chilling hauntings of this Illinois landmark. #HauntedHouse #HauntedIllinois #TheGraveTalks #GhostStories #HauntedHistory #HauntedMansion #UndergroundRailroad #HistoricHauntings #HauntedPlaces #UnexplainedPhenomena Love real ghost stories?

You're not alone! Kathi, Tenneil, and Roger share their real boundaries (and breakthroughs), including:  - Where to draw the ethical line with AI - Practical examples of how (and how NOT) to use AI in outlining, editing, blog writing, devotional content, and sales copy - Why your originality is irreplaceable—and how to tell when AI helps or hinders - How writers can use AI to handle “the drudgery” while preserving the sacred heart of their message   If you're a Christian writer or creative wondering where AI fits (and where it doesn't), don't miss this honest, grace-filled chat.

In this eye-opening episode of Writing at the Red House, Kathi Lipp and branding expert Tenneil Register return to tackle one of the most misunderstood aspects of author branding: color. If you've ever struggled to pick a color palette that feels like "you," or worried that your colors might actually be confusing your readers, you're not alone.   Kathi shares her own branding mishaps (including a memorable tea-party disaster), and Tenneil breaks down what color psychology really means for writers who want their brand to feel authentic, inviting, and memorable. You'll get actionable advice on: - How to identify colors that match the true feeling of your message and audience needs  - Why trendy palettes might be sabotaging your brand—and what to do instead - How to avoid classic color combo fails (hint: not every red and gold pairing is inspired!) - Which tools—like Canva and Lightroom—can make branding easier, even if you're a design novice - Where to find inspiration and ready-to-use resources to simplify the design process  Plus, you'll hear real talk about balancing cozy vibes, bold statements, and faith-driven messages, all through the power of color.

The third and final livestream of the book tour celebrating the publication of Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s Hosted by Red Power Hour co-host Melanie Yazzie at the Inspired Moments Event Center Farmington, New Mexico. Watch the video edition on The Red Nation Podcast YouTube channel Press Release: "From the late summer of 1972 to the late summer of 1974, John Redhouse and many other Navajo and Indian rights activists threw all they had into mass movement organizing and direct action. And they were pretty good at it too in terms of effectiveness and impact. Written in the first-person and above all, with a collective spirit of generosity and witness, John Redhouse describes the hot temper of the times in the racist and exploitative border towns in the Four Corners area of the Southwest region. As John Redhouse says, “Without the People, you have nothing. But back then, we had a lot of people WITH us.” Yes, the Power of the People, the collective human spirit of the emerging local and regional Indian civil movement, thousands of us marching in the streets of Gallup and Farmington in northwestern New Mexico with our demands. A bold citizen's arrest at city hall, a downtown street riot, burning images of enemy leaders in effigy. And more marches, demonstrations, and direct actions. Above all, though, there was that Spirit—that unbroken, unconquerable spirit—that moved us, that drove us, that led us. And that was just in the border towns. In that turbulent decade, there was also the rapidly rising and spreading with-the-people, on-the-land resistance struggles in the coal, uranium, and oil and gas fields, and in disputed territories in the San Juan and Black Mesa basins that were targeted for ethnic cleansing and mineral extraction. Bordertown Clashes, Resource Wars, Contested Territories: The Four Corners in the Turbulent 1970s brings readers to the enduring issues of the day, traced over half a century ago, where John Redhouse and many more were in the middle of a revolution that unfolds to this day."

BRING IRISH & CELTIC MUSIC TO THE WORLD FOR 20 YEARS On July 28, 2005, I released the very first episode of the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. This was not my first podcast. There were four others that I released first. All of them are still available to this day. Though one podfaded. When I started, I was publishing the Celtic Music Magazine every week. I started podcasting to promote Celtic bands, but mostly I wanted to promote my own band, Brobdingnagian Bards. It was a new and exciting way to get my music heard. But something happened along the way. It became less and less about my band and more about how I could help bands be heard. And it worked. In fact, I featured a total of 79 Celtic bands in the months that followed in 2005. That includes Brobdingnagian Bards and my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers project. Here are some of the bands who were featured. 1: Susan Hamlin, Three Quarter Ale, Dust Rhinos, Cluan, Fathom, The BorderCollies, Tara's Fire, Paul McKenna, Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats, Brobdingnagian Bards 2: StoneRing, The Slip, Hugh Morrison, Caladh, MacTalla Mor, Lenahan, The Bloody Irish Boys, Vicki Swan & Jonny Dyer, Celtic Stone 3: The Barley Boys, Contea, Queen's Gambit, Highland Fling, Michael Murphy and the River Shannon Band, Amadan, Raymond McCullough, Bow Triplets, The Rogues 4: The Irish Experience, Cairde na Gael, The Black Irish, Avalon Rising, Heather Gilmer and Jeff Moore, Sarah Dinan, Bedlam Bards, Emerald Rose, Kristen Roger, Heather Dale, Serious Kitchen, Empty Hats 5: Rise, Ed Miller, Tullamore, Paisley Close, Cantiga, Thomas "Doc" Grauzer, Cady Finlayson, Rimbo, Don Grieve, Black 47 6: Moch Pryderi, Enter the Haggis, The Patched Hats, Seelie Court, Eric Benson with The Boatrights, Ali Benson, 3 Pints Gone, Sligo Rags, Angel's Share 7: The Tea Merchants, Keltic Kaleidoscope, Brothers 3, EJ Jones, Shays Rebellion, Marc Gunn 8: Niamh Parsons, Flook, Willie McCulloch, Gan Fidil, Pol Mac Adaim, The Elders 9: Tears for Beers, Clandestine, Stonering, Athas, Carl Peterson You can see the full list on the website. Many of these artists are no longer performing. What's more interesting is that about a quarter of these artists are still making new music to this day. Today, I will highlight some of the amazing Celtic bands that are still performing after 15 - 20 years. I started my list with three perennial favorites of mine who've been on the show for a long time and are still performing: Poitin, Ed Miller, and The Gothard Sisters. Admittedly, The Gothard Sisters were a late addition to the show, coming on in 2010. But of all the bands, they are to me a shining beacon of this podcast. Because you can see them grow and develop as musicians and songwriters over the course of this show. So I had to include them. THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!
