    EPISODE 678 - Robert Howell - Canadian Author of the Gothic Horror, Blood Castle, the sequel to Blood Mansion

    Robert Howell has a range of skills and experiences, having studied Business Administration in college while taking courses in literature, poetry, cartography, and supernatural studies.

    ​After completing college, he joined the military to satisfy his urge to travel across Canada and various parts of Europe. Following his military service, he spent 40 years in real estate, starting as an agent and later working in acquisitions for an investment company, focusing on locations such as Florida and Texas.

    Despite having a successful career in real estate, his true passion was writing. To develop a profound set of writing skills, he took a writing course through the Long Ridge Writers Group, affiliated with the University of Connecticut.

    ​After completing his writing course, he did different types of writing, newsletters, articles, web content, and short stories, and found love in writing fictional novels. He has written the successful Charm series, a great urban fantasy teen trilogy. With Blood Mansion, he has turned his imagination to adult gothic horror.

    ​Born in Montreal, Quebec, he has raised four children as a single dad and has two grandchildren.

  • E533 - Corinna Dunn - Note To Self - Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath

    E533 - Corinna Dunn - Note To Self - Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath

    Episode 533 - Corinna Dunn - Note To Self - Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath

    Author Corinna Dunn joins host Dave on Living The Next Chapter to share her powerful memoir, Note to Self: Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath. Living in Virginia with her husband and four teenagers, Corinna also hosts the Melanin Wellness Podcast, a platform dedicated to Black women's wellness that resonates across diverse audiences. She opens up about transforming personal pain into purpose through writing, treating her book like a pregnancy, complete with the doubts of the first trimester, the creative flow of the second, and the daunting final push toward publication.


    Corinna describes the emotional challenge of discussing her trauma-filled story with her protective sons and husband, who remain unable to read the book despite purchasing it and her accompanying journal prompting cards as a show of support. Her youngest daughter, however, found it beautiful and affirming of her mother's strength. Reflecting on her unhealed family members, Corinna emphasizes understanding their perspectives without excusing the past, recognizing how unprocessed trauma often cycles through generations. Pre-healing, she lived in constant anger, frying bacon or folding laundry with simmering rage, until therapy unlocked grief and growth.


    Her husband witnessed her evolution from an angry protector, shaped by childhood neglect, to a blossoming, inspiring force. As a mother determined to overcompensate for her own lacks, Corinna raised children who instinctively ask, "What would Mom think?" before acting, a testament to her nurturing success. Therapy prevented her from becoming overprotective, especially with her two autistic children, teaching her to let them navigate the world while fostering decision-making skills through pros-and-cons discussions.


    The book serves as a conversational guide for healing, blending journaling, meditation, yoga, prayer, therapy, and hobbies to dismantle shame. Corinna urges survivors to show themselves compassion, unpack events with professional help to uncover protected memories, and reject blame, especially from family insiders who perpetrated or enabled harm. Feedback has been empowering, with readers appreciating the path to thriving she illuminates.


    Key Takeaway: You hold the strength to heal from trauma and claim the rich life you deserve. Start with one step, like journaling or therapy, knowing a vibrant future awaits on the other side.

  • E489 - Author Darlene Campos Shares the Amazing Story of Holocaust Survivor Pete Philipps

    E489 - Author Darlene Campos Shares the Amazing Story of Holocaust Survivor Pete Philipps

    EPISODE 489 - Author Darlene Campos Shares the Amazing Story of Holocaust Survivor Pete Philipps

    Hello! Hola! I'm Darlene P. Campos, an Ecuadorian-American author who is also a proud Houstonian.

    I earned my BA in English-Creative Writing with a Medicine and Society Studies minor from the University of Houston (Go Coogs!) and my MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Texas at El Paso (Go Miners!).

    I am the author of the young adult novels Behind Mount Rushmore, Summer Camp is Cancelled, and Heaven Isn't Me, traditionally published by Vital Narrative Press.

    Pete Philipps' Interview
    Pete grew up in Essen, a major industrial city on Germany’s Ruhr River. His father worked as a cattle hide dealer for an international trading company in nearby Mühlheim. His mother was a designer for a fashionable women’s dress shop. Pete, his younger twin brothers, and parents lived together in an apartment.

    1933–39: Pete had barely passed his first birthday when the Nazis came to power. His father realized the danger that now faced Jews in Germany, and the family left for Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1936. Pete attended Jewish school there, but the times were unsettling. In fall 1938, the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia, was incorporated into the Nazi Reich, and the following March, German troops marched into Prague. Shortly thereafter, Pete’s family left for Italy, where they settled in the Genoa suburbs. There, they were attacked by local antisemitic fascists. Soon after Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Philippses immigrated to Ecuador.

    1940–45: In Quito, the Philippses joined the growing colony of refugees from Germany. Pete attended a private boys’ school. His father set up business making margarine, while his mother did clothing alterations and knitting. In May 1941, just six months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippses arrived in the United States. Pete’s father returned to his former company.

    After the war, Pete learned that his paternal grandmother, who had fled earlier to the Netherlands, had been deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. He completed his education and, after a tour of military duty in Germany, became a journalist for the New York Times.
