Ashley Hawthorne reveals her journey from writing fan fiction during COVID lockdowns to becoming a published author of contemporary romantic suspense novels. She discusses how finding an online writing community transformed her passion into a sustainable career.• Found a supportive Discord server with experienced authors who guided her publishing journey• Writes contemporary romantic suspense where "romance drives the plot and the mystery adds to the stakes"• Published with a small press that handles covers and editing while giving her creative input• Uses the mantra "firm in goals, flexible in methods" to balance writing with homeschooling• Recommends finding beta readers who give honest but kind feedbackAuthor Bio-Ashley Hawthorne writes contemporary romantic suspense. A soft-hearted idealist, she writes stories that take her character to dark places, but always with an eye on what love means to us, how far we'll go to get it, and what we're willing to give up to keep it. She lives in Texas with her husband, their two teenagers, and far too many rescue pets.Book Blurb-Every old house has its secrets...When Grayson Barlow's grandfather dies under mysterious circumstances, he's forced to move back to his hometown of Widow's Point. After twelve years of running from his past, he's in no hurry to return to Barlow House or to confront the memories it holds, but he knows he now has to take care of the elderly grandmother he'd left behind.His childhood home is exactly the way he remembered it, except his grandfather is gone and the house has gained a feisty new dog and a beautiful new caretaker, both of whom seem determined to protect the only family member he has left, even if that means driving him out before he has time to unpack his bags.He wants nothing more than to leave, but he can't bring himself to break his grandmother's heart again. Staying means making peace, at least on the surface, with Becka Simmons, the enticing hellion who's determined to make his life miserable. Becka is as grumpy as her pint-sized guard dog, but as he begins to understand her, he has two impossible revelations. The first is that he's in love with her. The second is that she may have killed his grandfather.

As a writer and developmental editor, I specialize in helping busy writers bring their publishing dreams to life without the overwhelm.

The story of Jacob is sprinkled throughout the book of Genesis....he is born in Genesis 25 and dies in Genesis 49 and is buried in Genesis 50. His fingerprints consume almost half of the book of Genesis. So I thought it would be a great challenge to explore the God of Jacob. What do we learn about God in His encounters with Jacob over the course of his life? What is it about God that Jacob learned....very slowly...but sustained him throughout life? And even more importantly, what did he learn that can sustain us throughout our lives? We serve the same God 3,800 years later – and if we call upon the God of Jacob, what would that mean for us? Because – we serve the same God!

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Stanley McChrystal is a retired four-star general. Stan is the former commander of the nation's premier military counter-terrorism force, Joint Special Operations Command (also known as JSOC). His command included more than 150,000 troops from 45 allied countries. Since he retired from the Army, Stan has written multiple best-selling books including, Team of Teams, and most recently, On Character. The most crucial discipline is to think for yourself. To a sad degree, we're lazy. People comment on things they haven't watched or read, but have seen comments by others who align with their political party. They aren't thinking for themselves (this is why it's almost impossible to align completely with one political party for me). If you find yourself saying “I just do” or “that's what I heard,” that's not thinking. Being Obsessed – “I am convinced that few truly great achievements are reached by individuals with an impressive work-life balance, and the price of greatness, in a word, is great. In the end, I'm an advocate for obsession." The Ranger Effect – The value of unwavering standards.Created near the end of Vietnam when the Army had lowered its standards. They created 2 units of Rangers to raise the standard. It permeated the entire Army. How does a leader do this in Corporate America? Clearly establish expectations. You cannot have a “say-do” gap. The leader must demonstrate the values on a constant basis. BE what you want. Discipline to hold people accountable. “My major takeaway at almost 70 years old is conclusive. I wish I'd thought more, been more contemplative about my convictions, and been more deliberate about the person I sought to be.” Stan's mom — she died on New Year's Day 1971 at age 45. Stan was 16. Had 6 kids. Mary Bright McChrystal. Writes about her in the civil rights chapter. “I accept no belief or claim to truth automatically or unconditionally.” White Water Rafting – When the subject of America's involvement in Afghanistan arises, Stan is frequently asked, what he might do differently if given the chance to do it all over again. Answer: “Go white water rafting.” In Patient Pursuit of Greatness – In the spring of 2012, Stan was teaching a leadership class at Yale. That's when he met their football coach, Tony Reno: “Not many things materially affect my trajectory. But this time was different. What was different? Coach Reno.” Choosing to Lead – Leadership is not a title or position. It's a choice. “Embrace the suck” – “Why suck a little, when you can suck a lot?” Eat one meal a day. It's built on being undisciplined with food. If you only eat dinner, you can eat a lot for that one meal. Self-Discipline - Most important attribute for a leader. Wife Annie - Dependent on her. Kind, thoughtful, caring. Life/Career Advice: Have the discipline to decide want you want to be. Be intentional. LISTEN: Don't just talk. Be respectful. Don't be afraid to fail. Try it, get back up. Try again.

Microsoft's CEO acknowledged the significant role of AI in code generation, with estimates suggesting it writes a notable percentage of the company's code. Meta made its powerful Llama 3 language models broadly accessible via APIs and integrated them into its new AI assistant, positioning it to compete with established players. However, the sources also highlight ethical challenges, detailing an unauthorized AI experiment on Reddit users that raised serious concerns about consent and manipulation, leading to legal action and internal investigations. Furthermore, the text mentions OpenAI rolling back a GPT-4o update due to user complaints about its personality and introduces smaller, more efficient models like GPT-4o mini. Finally, AI's application in other fields is noted with AI analysis uncovering potential genetic links to Alzheimer's and a strengthened partnership between Waymo and Toyota for autonomous vehicles.

Award-winning author, founder, and editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Review of Books, Tom Lutz, took a timeout to talk with me about his early years as a literary ne'er-do-well, what it's like to hang out with your heroes, and why you can assume every writer is faking it just a little bit. "Writing has never felt like a chore to me. It always feels like the space of freedom, and that I'm stealing the time from my job to do something I love." – Tom Lutz In addition to editing the Los Angeles Review of Books, "... a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and disseminating ... engaging writing on every aspect of literature, culture, and the arts," Tom also founded The LARB Radio Hour, The LARB Quarterly Journal, The LARB/USC Publishing Workshop, and LARB Books. He's a Distinguished Professor of Creative Writing at UC Riverside, and the author of multiple bestselling and award-winning nonfiction titles – translated into dozens of languages – including Doing Nothing (American Book Award winner), Crying, and American Nervousness, 1903 (both New York Times Notables). His fiction debut is, “A literary thriller that wanders the globe,” novel Born Slippy is described as part "... literary thriller, noir and political satire ... a darkly comic and honest meditation on modern life under global capitalism.” Bestselling novelist James Ellroy said of the book, "Lutz has the seven deadly sins nailed and rethought for our 2020 world. You've got to dig this book!" Tom's writing has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New Republic, Chicago Tribune, ZYZZYVA, and many other newspapers and literary venues, as well as in dozens of books and academic journals.

#1 New York Times bestselling author, Susannah Cahalan, spoke to me about her writing process, witch candles, and stepping into the shoes of psychedelic pioneer Rosemary Woodruff Leary in her new biography THE ACID QUEEN. Susannah Cahalan is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, journalist, and public speaker. Her first book, Brain on Fire, has sold over a million copies and has been translated into more than twenty languages. Her second book, The Great Pretender, was shortlisted for the Royal Society's 2020 Science Book Prize. Her latest biography The Acid Queen: The Psychedelic Life and Counterculture Rebellion of Rosemary Woodruff Leary, “...chronicles the life of Rosemary Woodruff Leary (1935–2002), a prominent figure in the 1960s psychedelic movement and Timothy Leary's wife from 1967 through 1976.” Kirkus gave THE ACID QUEEN a glowing review, calling it a “well-wrought narrative that brings deserved attention to a lost figure in the counterculture,” and Publishers Weekly called it a “... stranger than fiction story [that offers] a vivid portrait of how flower power cracked up in the '70s.” Susannah Cahalan has been profiled in the New York Times, featured as an answer on Jeopardy!: delivered a TEDx Talk, and appeared as a guest on The Today Show, PBS, BBC's Inside Science, and Fresh Air, among many others.

Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or just astrology-curious, this episode is packed with cosmic truths, spiritual wisdom, and many laugh-out-loud moments. Tune in to unlock the secrets of the stars — and perhaps, uncover deeper truths about yourself. In this electrifying episode of the HEAL with Kelly Podcast, I sit with astrologer, psychotherapist, and spiritual guide to the stars, Debra Silverman, as she takes us on a cosmic deep-dive into the power of astrology, the four elements, and the massive planetary shifts of 2025 and beyond. With her signature humor, raw honesty, and no-nonsense wisdom, Debra unpacks how understanding your astrological blueprint can be the key to self-acceptance, healing, deeper connections, and living in alignment with your true purpose. We also discuss her latest book, I Don't Believe in Astrology: A Therapist's Guide to the Life-Changing Wisdom of the Stars, where Debra breaks down the profound impact astrology can have on personal growth, relationships, and navigating life's challenges — even for the skeptics. With a blend of practical insights and real-life stories, Debra dives into it all — from the radical shifts sparked by Pluto's move into Aquarius (think AI, ETs, and a rapidly evolving world!) to the four elements — earth, fire, air, and water — and their deep connection to astrology, shaping our personalities, strengths, challenges, and even relationship dynamics. She also explores the mysteries of compatibility, revealing why opposites attract, why “like signs” thrive, and how astrology can offer clarity in love and partnerships. If you've ever wondered why you are the way you are, why you have insane chemistry with the wrong person, or how to harness your cosmic blueprint for a more fulfilling life, this episode will change the way you see yourself, your relationships, and the universe.

Retired Intelligence Detective Gary Jenkins brings you the best in mob history with his unique perception of the mafia. In this Gangland Wire Crime Stories episode, Gary Jenkins interviews Anthony Arillotta, author of South End Syndicate: How I Took Over the Genovese Springfield Crew. Arillotta shares his firsthand experiences within organized crime in Springfield, Massachusetts, offering a raw and authentic account of his rise through the ranks. Arillotta discusses the historical roots of the Springfield mob, tracing its ties to the Genovese family in New York. He provides insights into the city's Italian American community, the evolution of ethnic gangs, and how he was drawn into the criminal underworld despite his family's legitimate business background. From his early years in gambling and marijuana distribution to his close association with made member Al Bruno, Arillotta details the inner workings of the mob, including the delicate balance between financial success and violence. He sheds light on the mafia's induction ceremony, the betrayals, and the power struggles he faced. He discusses notorious figures like Freddie and Ty Geas and the murder of Whitey Bulger. Beyond the crime, Arillotta reflects on his post-mafia life, his current business ventures—including a wine brand called Pazzo—and his efforts in youth mentorship to steer others away from the path he once followed. Tune in for a gripping conversation that uncovers the realities of life inside the Genovese Springfield crew, the dangers of organized crime, and one man's journey from the underworld to redemption.

Good to be back here in the studio of Gangland Wire. I am here with Anthony Arillotta. [0:07] As you guys, if you are on Facebook at all or on YouTube, you may know this name. He has been quite prolific, and he's got a great book out there, and he's got a hell of a story to tell. And he's a really – I just told Anthony, I said, you know, you're a great interview because you know your stuff. And, Anthony, you really do. Welcome, Anthony. Oh, thank you, Gary. Thank you for having me. Looking forward to this. Now, the book is South End Syndicate, How I Took Over the Genovese Springfield Crew. [0:37] And so, you know, I want to read just a little bit about one thing. I'm really impressed with this particular promos for your book, little blurbs that you get other authors to write in your book. T.J. English, who is New York Times bestselling author of The Westies and several others. And I just interviewed him recently, a prince of a fella. And this guy's word means something to me. And T.J. Writes, the last days of the Roman Empire if you were populated by snitches, gamblers, mobsters, lowlifes, and homicidal maniacs. In other words, this book is entertaining as hell, chronicling one small parochial, though notorious, faction of the American mafia in Springfield, Massachusetts. Ariadna tells the story of the whole damn thing. South End Syndicate is a worthy addition to any organized crime bookshelf. So Anthony, that's, that's quite a compliment from a guy like TJ English. Wouldn't you agree? Oh, I agree. Definitely.

Sabaq means lesson. Like ink etched into memory, sabaq symbolizes the turning point between who we were and who we are becoming. It is the quiet reckoning after chaos, the clarity that follows confusion, and the inner voice that whispers truth when the noise fades. Sabaq doesn't shout—it stays, lingers, and shapes us. Wherever sabaq settles, perspective blooms, and from reflection, new directions emerge.

Acclaimed debut novelist and award-winning poet Jeanette Horn spoke to me about writing experimental poetry, getting a fateful call from the Iowa Writer's Workshop, and the magical realism in her debut novel PLAY, WITH KNIVES. Jeanette Horn is an Iowa Writers' Workshop MFA program graduate and was a Maytag Fellow. Her debut novel, Play, With Knives, is described as the story of “A struggling theater troupe [that] tours the Midwest by surreal train—where aspects of their plays come to life and wreak havoc—in this inventive literary novel.” Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love, said of the book, "Play, With Knives is a work of wondrous imagination—a dream from which I did not want to awaken." Jeanette also earned a BA in English from the University of Texas, where she won several Adele Steiner Burleson Awards for poetry and essay writing. Her work has appeared in MARGIE, Poetry International, Stand, Washington Square, and other journals.
