We end 2022 with a great book from Kristin Hannah called the Winter Garden. Kristin Hannah is also the author of the The Nightingale and The Four Winds. The Winter Garden takes place during modern times with flash backs to Russia during WWII. Hannah does a superb job of bringing to life the generational affects of war and the family dysfunction that is born from lack of communication. This story is weaved between sisters and their mother and the converging of each of their lives. The grit and determination of people that lived through such horrendous times is incredible. We greatly appreciate the reachers and historians that sought out stories such as the one in this book and preserved the truth of what really happened.

I had some feedback and questions from 5 Things I do Every Morning that we published earlier this year and so I wanted to go answer and share exactly what our morning routine looks like in our current season. It really helps that Jesse and I both work together to make sure we have the time that we need to get our days started. But our best advice is to tailor your needs to your season and to just be creative about it. You may not be able to do everything in the first hour and that's okay. Take the time to figure out, reach out to people in your community and set the path that works for you. Also on today's episode, I share a book update on a book I recently finished that I had mentioned in another podcast episode. Jesse and I both share what has been saving our lives recently. We hope you enjoy this topic and as always, look forward to hearing your thoughts. In This Episode [00:34] - Welcome to another episode of The Crystal Paine Show.  [01:25] - Jesse and I got to have a date.

[09:44] - It just reminds you of how much we have to be grateful for. [10:38] - I share what has been saving my life. [12:27] - Little things sometimes, that can make a big difference. [13:50] - Sponsor Ad: Twigby [15:45] - Let's talk about what our mornings look like. [16:50] - We have had many different renditions, and just get creative every season. [18:18] - Jesse suggests habit stacking to help set up your routine. [21:46] - But what does it actually look like? [23:42] - It helps that we do this divide and conquer thing. [24:38] - Your nights can set your days up for so much success. A successful day begins the night  before. [25:20] - Jesse shares explains why I consider sleeping in until about 6:45 in the morning. [28:20] - This is an easy season for us, but you have to make it work for whatever season you are in. [29:00] - Words of encouragement and closing remarks.

content warning: suicideY'all this is easily one of my favorite books ever. I did this episode because I need everyone to read it. The story is absolutely incredible- from the fact that hearing this story the first time literally saved the author's life, to the nature of the hero's deeds that absolutely contributed to the fall of the Nazi regime. Plus, wanna know what I learned from this book, and how the lessons here can be applied to modern day? Listen up. Now there are NO MAJOR SPOILERS in this episode, which I did totally on purpose so that you can read this and have an incredible experience still.ivebeenthinkingpod.cominsta: @ivebeenthinkingpodSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/ivebeenthinkingpod)

My guest today is back for part 2 of a lesson in communication. She is Temperaments expert, and I Said This, You Heard That author, Kathleen Edelman. Her mission is to help people use words that build others up. She teaches that “The words you use are a gift that you give to other people”. That statement should make us want to think about our words more carefully! Today, Kathleen further explains the Four Temperaments and what to do when we experience miscommunication. If you missed part 1 of this interview, please check it out on episode 117.  Nation! I cannot have a conversation with Kathleen and not learn something new about the I Said This, You Heard That material. I would consider myself a diligent student of her material for the past two years, and there is always more to learn.   Learning about Temperaments is, hands down, one of the best things I have done to understand how my words sound to people as I am speaking with them. It has been a gamechanger in how I communicate with my team and my family and friends.  I hope that the next time you’re speaking to someone else, you choose words that are a gift from you to them.  Visual Reference:     Timestamps:   Introducing Kathleen [5:55]  Trace, what was your biggest takeaway from the I Said This, You Heard That Book?

It's been a big year for paid newsletters. They promise an easier way for creators to get paid directly from their content. While newsletters aren't a new thing, there are some exciting things happening in this space. And for an independent creator, figuring out how to get paid for what you already do is a no-brainer.  So, what are the pros and cons of paid newsletters? How would you go about launching one? Are there any strategies and processes to help you succeed? And, most importantly, how do you ensure that it's worthwhile for your readers?Nathan and Barrett discuss these questions and more!Main Takeaways Paid newsletters fit into a larger “media” budget for consumers. Meaning that they exist alongside Hulu, Netflix, Patreon, etc.  Getting paid to make the things you want to make is a significant benefit of creating a paid newsletter. A potential negative of having a paid newsletter is that your best stuff will likely be behind a paywall, making it hard to grow your audience. Providing ongoing value to your customers is challenging. Consider an annual rate to lock them in for a longer period of time.  Long-term planning is key to sustaining your paid newsletter and making sure that it's ready to go every week (or period) without fail.  Links Substack Red Notice: A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice by Bill Browder Creator of the Day Ali Abdaal Mark Sullivan Resource of the Day Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan Start building your audience for freeWith ConvertKit landing pages, you can build a beautiful page for your project in just a few minutes.

Welcome book lovers back to our first episode of Season 3. I was away on vacation so Carrie teamed up with former guest and Ohio friend Giselle Spurgeon, to co-host this week to interview a fellow Ohioan Melanie Moore, owner of the Cincy Book Bus. When you see an old rusty truck, the first thing that pops into your head is probably not “book store”. Melanie though had other ideas. Her dream of opening her own bookstore after retiring from 25 years of teaching was hampered somewhat by the heavy burden of all the things that go along with having a brick and mortar shop. That is, until she read a book written in 1917 called Parnassus On Wheels about a horse-drawn wagon filled with books driven around the countryside of England by a woman looking for adventure. When Melanie looked out her kitchen window and saw her husband’s old mint green VW truck, she knew the path her bookstore future would take would have fenders and chrome. Pre-Covid, book lovers could find Melanie and her Cincy Book Bus popping up all over the greater Cincinnati area including Northern Kentucky at coffee shops, festivals, and small boutiques. Now with pandemic, she has made her presence count online as she has all kinds of ways customers can buy books, many of them hard to find European editions, both with her online store as well as with a bookclub. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention that 100% of her proceeds go to buying books for low-income youth. Melanie talks to Carrie and Giselle about why she sees her bookstore on wheels as part of a much larger book community, how her love of the 1930s and 40s fueled the vintage feel of her logo and truck, and how she doubled the number of books she donates to worthwhile children’s organizations. Books Discussed in This Episode: 1 - Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley 2- All Creatures Great and Small series by James Herriott 3- Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan 4- The Invincible Summer of Juniper Jones by Daven McQueen 5- Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson 6- The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin 7- Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier 8- Books by D.E. Stevenson 9- A Month in the Country by J. L. Carr

Today's podcast review comes from this blog post, Beneath a Scarlet Sky. 

Heather B. Moore is a four-time USA Today bestseller and award-winning author of more than fifty publications. Her historical novels are set in Ancient Arabia and Mesoamerica. She’s not old and doesn’t remember the time period, so Google has become a great friend. Although she spent several years living in the Middle East, she prefers to forget the smells. Heather writes historicals and thrillers under H.B. Moore. She also writes women’s fiction, romance, and inspirational non-fiction under Heather B. Moore, including The Newport Ladies Book Club, and the Amazon bestselling Timeless Romance Anthologies. Heather’s USA Today bestselling titles include Heart of the Ocean, Mail Order Bride, Mistress Grim, and Poetic Justice. Heather also writes Young Adult speculative under pen name Jane Redd, which includes the Solstice series.  1) Do you have an ‘elevator pitch’ for your Pine Valley series (Worth the Risk and Where I Belong)? How do you describe it? The Pine Valley series is a small town romance. Romance readers love romance series but they don’t necessarily want the romance to drag on book after book. So in this, there are several characters in the same town. Each story is about a new couple. It’s loosely based on a N California community. She doesn’t mention the word CA, just once in every book—she just wanted to create a community that others could relate to. It’s a small town and has a wholesome romance feel to it. Like a Hallmark movie but hopefully less cheesy. :) 2) Tell us a little about your writing journey, and at what point did you hit USA Today? (Congrats, by the way!) She started writing when she was 30 years old, and she had a book idea — was helping her grandma with her personal history. That turned into a book and she didn’t know if it was good or not — it took her at least 3 yrs before she started to see interest from publishers. Her first publisher, Covenant, is her current one, too—she’s been with them for 14 yrs now. Covenant is more niche and they target a certain market. About 5-6 yrs ago, indie publishing was becoming very mainstream. Before that, it was what you did when nobody else wanted your book. But she had a few friends who had gone the self-pub route. She watched them, and heard that people would hit lists if they published box sets or collections. Her first time hitting the list was a box set of books by a group of authors that were already published, but they put them together as a group. They swapped newsletters, bought ads, etc. Then she hit the list three more times in different ways. She’s also in an anthology called Mail Order Bride. That had been out for at least a year, but she ran a sale and a BookBub ad, and it broke the top 50 on Amazon and was #3 on B&N. That hit the list. On her blog, she’s got more details of her writing journey and strategies. 3) Tell us a little about your backlist. What else have you written? When she first wrote for Covenant it was historical fiction. Almost all her books are religious based or based on scriptural characters. She has a book on Esther the Queen. One of her books is Daughters of Jared, about two sisters who are princesses, in ancient Mesoamerica. It’s a story of how they are opposites and they support each other. Another is Finding Sheba: a thriller, like Da Vinci Code meets Indiana Jones. There’s now 4 books in the series. She loves history and loves to combine adventure. 4) I love the fact that you write clean romance. Tell us a bit about why you chose to go that route. It’s definitely unusual! Part of the reason is because of personal beliefs. Covenant also has a specific audience, and her readership was built over the years with them. She felt like if she went outside that too far, core readership would be upset. That’s also where her comfort zone is. But not all of her books are “squeaky” clean — some are more PG13-rated. 5) Who are some of your favorite authors/books that you would consider to be your inspirations? Amy Harmon: she started with contemporary romance and women’s fiction, but she did a WWII novel that won an award. She also has a fantasy series. Beautiful prose. And Josi Kilpack writes historical women’s fiction which she loves. She also likes quirky ones, like My Plain Jane. She reads 2-3 WWII era novels per year as well: recently read Beneath a Scarlet Sky. And she recently read America’s First Daughter, as well. 6)  Are you self-published, hybrid, or traditional (and why did you choose to go that route)? She is hybrid. With Covenant, she has a book come out yearly. She also writes thrillers for Thomas and Mercer, an Amazon imprint, and self-publishes—sometimes she puts those books on Kindle Unlimited. Her marketing strategy is such that she changes that around depending on what she’s trying to do. 7) What advice might you have for other authors out there: what’s the most effective marketing strategy you’ve used to date? If you really want to self-publish, you have to treat it as a business. You’ll spend a few grand in production of the book. If she wants to write a contemporary romance series, and she wants to be successful and make money, she’ll have to invest that money — she’ll be going head to head with other successful authors. Have a professional cover, typesetting, editing, a great description and a catchy tag line. Volume also makes a difference: if you have 1-2 books come out, you’ll likely only sell 50 books per month. Once you have more books come out, that’s when you see a rise in sales. You also want to have a newsletter and market to your readers. At the beginning of all her books, she uses a “reader magnet” to capture email addresses for something that’s free. Start building and retaining your audience. 8) Anything I haven’t asked you that you want to make sure you communicate to our audience? Just says don’t be afraid to follow your dreams, but don’t compare yourself to other people either. Find her on hbmoore.com, or Facebook, or Amazon.

The Scaring and the Daring In this season of getting scared, will you dare to be different and choose a Halloween costume that might evangelize trick or treaters? Peggy lists the top five saints who lend themselves to fabulous costumes for scaring and inspiring. Author Mark Sullivan talks about his 2017 bestseller “Beneath a Scarlet Sky” the true story of one young Italian man’s incredible daring during WWII and the Catholic priests who helped him save the lives of Jews during one of history’s darkest hours. Mark Sullivan continues his conversation with Peggy about Cardinal Alfredo Schuster of Milan, Italy, whose cause for sainthood stemmed from his heroic efforts to save Italian Jews during Hitler and Mussolini’s reign of terror. What is Dia de Muertos and why has its imagery become synonymous with the celebration of Halloween in modern culture? Fr. Rafael Lueveno, professor at Chapman University, talks about this holiday’s ethnic origins and its relevance to our faith.

In this episode of The Italian American Podcast, we speak with Mark Sullivan, author of 18 novels including Amazon's most sold book, "Beneath a Scarlet Sky," which is based on true events. Sullivan talks about what made him decide to tell this wonderful story. The book takes place in Italy during World War II and tells of how an Italian man named Pino Lella saved the lives of many Jews during the war. It's a fascinating story, and we're sure you're going to love it. In the Story Segment, we speak with Jonathan Freedman about another Italian hero, professional cyclist Gino Bartali, and how he used his bike to pass messages and documents to others to also save many Jews during World War II.

We chat with Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky. He’s also written numerous other novels including a series co-written with James Patterson. Mark shares with us the incredible manner in which the story of Pino Lella came into his life. We hear how his time spent with Pino had an immediate impact on his life. We also discuss how in many ways Pino Lella was a real life Forrest Gump in that he was at or near many of the major events in the closing years of World War II in Italy. And for the first time ever on the show, I answer the Rorschach Round questions for the author. In this show more than most, we go into the book and all the events surrounding it. So spoiler alert! And like usual, there’s all that and more!
