Hey Well Read Baddies! We're back with chapters 33–36 of Happy Land by Dolen Perkins-Valdez — and trust us, the stakes are sky-high. In this episode, four generations land under one roof, “land vs. family” collisions take center stage, and Wade's rushed trial delivers a gut-punch verdict that threatens the Kingdom itself. We break down the courtroom power plays, the consequences of that fateful deed, and how generational guilt ripples through Nikki's present. Plus, in our coffee break, we share our latest reads — Lana dives into Make a Scene by Mimi Grace, while Sam revisits Deja Brew by Celestine Martin. We also chat about our realistic fall TBR goals and what's coming next in our Substack roundup. Content warning: racial violence, wrongful conviction, family conflict. Reading along or just here for the convo, grab your copy of Happy Land and tune in — things are getting real in the Kingdom. P.S.

Carole O'Neill's guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Art Bell, author of the book What She's Hiding. Art Bell is a former television executive. As president of Court TV, he oversaw daily live courtroom coverage and the production of hundreds of hours of original true-crime television series, documentaries, and movies. His memoir, Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor, was a finalist in the 2020 Best Book Awards in both the memoir and business categories. Art has had short stories, nonfiction, and satire published in several journals, including Lowestoft Chronicle, Aethlon: The Journal of Sports Literature, The Ocotillo Review, Fiction Southeast, Castabout Arts and Literature, High Shelf Press, and Writers Read. What She's Hiding: A thriller, published in March 2025 by Ulysses Press, is his first novel.   Art lives with his wife, Carrie, in Park City, Utah. He regained his sense of humor in March 2008.   In her book review, Carole stated this novel could almost live in the Romantic Suspense genre. While we learn early on that New York lawyer, Henry Gladstone has been fooled by his ex-wife, Leslie, it isn't very long before we discover he would give anything to renew their relationship.   Set mainly in Manhattan, the drama eventually details calls from a Russian mobster to frighten both Henry and his former wife with threats of kidnapping, blackmail and even death. Her lies continue to be questioned until Henry is beaten and found by a private investigator hired by his best friend.   Art Bell's well-crafted story, What She's Hiding, allows us to see how a man can continue to believe in a woman, even after being robbed of his savings, when love is blind. Leslie was very good at deception. So, was her story really true, or was she trying to set herself up for a life of riches.   This is a fast read and one you should put on your TBR list.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Art Bell Website: https://www.artbellwriter.com/ IG: @artbellauthor FB: @artbellauthor LinkedIn: @Art Bell   Purchase What She's Hiding on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4g5Pvqt Ebook: https://amzn.to/45OuJIB   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

In this episode I am diving into a fun micro trope of romance and talking about some of my favorite romance books with pen pals – books where the characters write back and forth to each other in letters or emails or possibly on an app and it's this correspondence that really propels the story or at least forms this initial connection between characters – possibly before they even meet.I recently read a book with this micro trope and LOVED it, so it got me thinking about what other books about pen pals have I read and loved or are there more that I haven't but can put on my TBR list. If you love this micro trope of pen pal romance books as much as I do then you're going to love this episode. BOOKS MENTIONED: Pen Pal by J.T. Geissinger: https://amzn.to/4pHD7RQBranded by Saffron A.

All government shutdowns do end at some point, no matter how dark and gloomy things may feel, and all businesses are charged with navigating both today's environment and positioning for tomorrow's opportunity set.But the shutdown is where we had to start this episode featuring John Caucis and James Wichert, public sector analysts at the market intelligence firm Technology Business Research. John and James overview how TBR is monitoring the situation and how federal contractors may have had some early practice amid the Department of Government Efficiency's pushes for cuts.The conversation with our Ross Wilkers then turns forward to a preview of the new 2026 federal fiscal year that may be starting out without funding for agencies, but will still have plenty of priorities to follow once they open for business.Some of those priorities featured in the discussion: IT modernization, drives for efficiencies, where the dollars are flowing in civilian and defense programs, more outcome-based contracting and the search for one integrator to overhaul the U.S.' air traffic control system.

From thrillers like The Housemaid and Verity to highly anticipated blockbusters like Project Hail Mary and the next Hunger Games, we're breaking down which stories we think will smash on screen and which ones might flop.

The 2000s gave us some of the biggest names and boldest ideas in science fiction—space operas that redefined the genre, cyberpunk evolutions, and near-future thrillers that feel eerily relevant today. But here's the twist: not every great book of the decade made it onto the Hugo, Nebula, or Locus ballots.In this episode, Jim continues the series by uncovering the real gems of the 2000s—one Best and one Runner-Up from each year—that critics and fans adored but the awards somehow overlooked. From planetary epics to biotech thrillers, from mind-bending hard SF to character-driven adventures, these are the novels that deserved far more recognition than they received.Which of these overlooked masterpieces have you read? Which ones will be jumping onto your TBR after this episode?
