E199 - Cynthia Newberry Martin - Using a Blog and a Book Tour to Support Your Books and The Importance of a Great Book Cover
Book Bio
Cynthia Newberry Martin’s (she/her/hers) first novel, Tidal Flats, won the Gold Medal in Literary Fiction at the 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards and the 14th Annual National Indie Excellence Award for Fiction. Her website features the How We Spend Our Days series, over a decade of essays by writers on their lives. She grew up in Atlanta and now lives in Columbus, Georgia, with her husband, and in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in a little house by the water. Her third novel, The Art of Her Life, will be published in June of 2023.
MORE ABOUT ME
I write novels about relationships, about how characters navigate between separateness and togetherness. About how they balance the need for both time to themselves and time together. About what compromise does to a person’s sense of self.
My early stories, essays, and reviews appeared in Hunger Mountain, Brevity, Gargoyle, Contrary Magazine, Clapboard House, Storyglossia, and Numéro Cinq. For a number of years, which I think of as my crazy years, I served as the Review Editor for Contrary Magazine AND the Writing Life Editor for Hunger Mountain AND I was in graduate school AND in a writing group.
In 2012 I graduated from Vermont College of Fine Arts with an MFA in Creative Writing. Later that year, I was awarded a residency at Ragdale, where I stayed in the Playroom and threw pages from the tower down the stairs… In 2013, because Pam Houston and Karen Nelson needed a third body, I became a founding board member of the literary nonprofit Writing by Writers. The workshops are set in gorgeous places with excellent faculty, and you will find me there selling faculty books.

E198 - Kelly Glenn - What a Woman - My Story for God's Glory Jul 07, 2023

Show notes

E198 - Kelly Glenn - What a Woman - My Story for God's Glory
Book: What A Woman: My Story for God’s Glory
You do not have to be fixed to be faithful or perfect to be perfected.

Resting on a bed swing on a large wrap-around porch with a ceiling fan and a cold glass of lemonade is a welcome reprieve on a hot summer day. This has never been Kelley Glenn's desire. It is tantamount to a movie fantasy and requires too much daydreaming in a world where she fends off physical abuse and sexual assault. Mars and Pluto are probably closer than the faraway places she hides to stay out of harm's way. Kelley escapes to these mental hideaways while the ones who are supposed to love and protect her, violate her. With a hole in her soul, she jumps out of the childhood frying pan, right into the fire when she marries a charmer.

Many wonder why abused intimate partners do not leave or report the abuse. In her memoir, What a Woman: My Story for God's Glory, Ms. Glenn invites readers to be a fly on the wall and witness what abused partners face. Kelley's journey to believe there is a realm of possibility greater than the only ones she has had since birth takes courage. There are times when she is too broken to see past the moment, or look in a mirror and see anything good. Her gaze changes direction as she looks to the one in whom she has confidence.

E197 - Jillian Abby - Author of Perfectly Queer - Holding The Door and Space For Others, How To Be A Better Human
Returning to the podcast, Jillian Abby is here to talk about the launch of her new book - Perfectly Queer.
This is a story for--
Anyone who is hiding a piece of themselves and wants to know if it’s safe to be revealed.
The parent who must choose between their own happiness and the stability of their family, wondering if prioritizing themselves is selfish.
The person potentially facing a major life upheaval filled with unknowns in the future who is seeking reassurance that everything will work out just fine.
Those who are starting or are in the middle of their journey and need hope and inspiration.
Those who have been through it, to stand proudly affirmed on the other side.
Jillian Abby has mastered reinvention throughout her life to create the most whole and satisfying journey. She left the comfort of her hometown of Buffalo, NY, to study abroad in Cochabamba, Bolivia, at age 15. As an adult, her resume includes Certified Public Accountant, Licensed Massage Therapist, craft beer bar owner, creative copywriter, homeschooling parent, and black belt martial artist.
Her most recent role as a newly out lesbian and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community was by far her riskiest and most rewarding change. She serves as a committee member for Tampa’s first inclusive homeschool prom (@tbhive) and is a member of Tampa’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Babe Crafted. She supports others through her blog site QueerAbby.com and via TikTok at @AskQueerAbby.
Jillian lives in Tampa Bay with her partner, Jen, their wildly wacky children, Sophie and Ollie, and a rescue cat named Poe.

Show notes

E196 - Alan Black - From Song Writer to Author, Start With a Blank Canvas and Share The Story You Create
Our Guest:
Alan was raised and grew up in the United Methodist Church. While I do proudly embrace my background and personal history within the United Methodist Church, I do feel that ultimately what is important is not the denomination that you are a part of. What matters most is the relationship that you have with the Lord. Part and parcel to any relationship is the level of commitment that one makes to it. With any and all relationships they are going to take time to grow.
Through the years, if I were to describe my relationship with the Lord using one word it would be “transformation.” Continuing to grow daily in my walk with the Lord, and as well continue to display the fruits of his Spirit daily is for me what my life is all about.

EPISODE 195 - James MacDonald Author of First Time Dad and Host of Dad Mind Matters - Parenting, Marriage & Mental Health For Men
About James Macdonald
I am James Macdonald and 5 years ago, I was stressed and overwhelmed at my role as a husband and (exhausted) father of 3, not really knowing how to be the best man I could be.
Many years, pitfalls and enough flat whites to sink a battleship later, I’m a lot happier and confident and on a mission to help other dads be the best family man they can be without losing their minds.
First Time Dad is for the new(ish) dads who feel totally overwhelmed at their new responsibility and feel like their mental health is on a slow and silent decline.
Book: First Time Dad: The 42-Week Guide For Men To Help Your Partner Have A Calm & Confident Pregnancy
If you want to effectively support your partner during pregnancy, and strengthen your relationship and mental health, keep reading...
If you're going to be a dad, congratulations, that's awesome!
That said, if you worry about this life-changing experience negatively affecting your mental health, you'd be right to. Recent statistics show that up to 50% of all new dads experience depression if their partner gets postnatal depression.
Are you concerned your little blessing might drive a baby-shaped wedge between you? Then your spidey senses are on the money because studies show that dads are three times more likely to die after a relationship breakdown than women.
Are you anxious that the general stress of family life might damage your mental health? This is a justified concern as suicide is the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. If any of these concerns resonate with you, don't worry; you're in safe, albeit slightly weathered, hands. James Macdonald is a happy and mostly calm dad of three.
In First Time Dad you’ll learn:
Week-to-week explanations of what’s happening for your baby and inside your partner
How to be a big help, not a major hindrance, during the delivery
How to help your partner get physically fit and ready for birth
What to expect at your 12 and 20-week scans
How to keep her & your sense of humor during those high-pressure moments
How to mentally prepare for the birth if you're squeamish
What to do when you need reassurance but don't want to burden her
Advice on having sex and maintaining intimacy throughout pregnancy
How to keep calm when all hell is breaking loose
What a birth plan is and how to prepare one
What nesting is and how to use it to your advantage
What you can do to develop, strengthen and prepare your mental health for the big day and beyond it
What you need to do & say to ensure everyone’s mental health remains intact
Road-tested survival tips for dads to ensure you don't continue to put your foot in it
If you're ready to start the journey from knee-trembling novice to a contender for dad of the year and maybe prove your mother-in-law massively wrong

Welcome to the urban fantasy and science fiction world of author Jane Frkovich
Goddess of Rain, Part 1 in the Lost Gods Series - Available Now!
Since Zoe leaving high school, Zoe’s life has been going nowhere. She spends her days working at the grocery store, being friend-zoned by her fellow grocery worker Brandon Chan, and obsessively crushing on handsome and rich Colton Chase, who sometimes visits the store.
One day in line for frozen yogurt, she bumps into Colton Chase and she is thrilled to find out he knows her name. Then, she goes to the park and finds her long dead mom alive and well. It turns out her mom didn’t die but was travelling the universe with the Greek god Zeus. If her mom’s boyfriend is Zeus, then who is her mom? Zoe’s not sure if her mom was kidnapped or if she abandoned her. Her mom has returned to whisk Zoe away in Zeus’s space ship because the earth is falling apart and will soon be uninhabitable. Suddenly, Zoe is plunged into the world of lost gods.
Underworld Rising
When Zoe stood on the edge of a volcano and chose between two loves, one a god and one a man, she may have sealed the fate of the earth. And the earth is in trouble.
The Lost Gods Series continues with Underworld Rising. Earth’s climate is under attack because of Hephaestus’ curse. On top of that, the world is on the verge of war with the Underworld because the goddess Hera has stirred up the ancient hatred between Cyclopes and humans. Hera will stop at nothing, even the destruction of the earth’s people, to destroy Zoe, the daughter of the woman who stole Zeus’s heart. It may all come down to the choices Zoe makes with her own heart. She has an important destiny and it will determine the fate of the world.
