  • Platform VS Prison - with Courtney Maum and Liselle Sambury
    Apr 11 2024

    Posting, re-tweeting, video content, live streaming, blogs and newsletters. Wait, when did we become content creators, on top of writers? Today during our Lit' It and Quit It segment, we’re going to talk about with bestselling author COURTNEY MAUM about the struggle between curating a platform and feeling imprisoned to the algorithm.

    Following that, we’ll get right into my conversation with LISELLE SAMBURY, author of TENDER BEASTS, a psychological thriller perfect for fans of The Taking of Jake Livingston and Ace of Spades.

  • Showing up for your Work - with Nicholas Selig and Angela Brown
    Mar 28 2024

    Showing up for your work can mean different things to different people - it can mean how authentically you show up in the work itself or how you prioritize your time and space to physically show up for your practice. Today during our Lit' It and Quit It segment, we’re going to talk about the latter with a good friend of mine, Nicholas Selig, poet and the Editor-in-Chief for The Miramichi Reader.

    Following that, we’ll get right into my conversation with Angela Brown, author of OLIVIA STRAUSS IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME, the story of a woman who has no choice left but to enjoy the adventure of life—and its surprises—in a funny and emotionally moving comedy of errors about the gifts of growing older.

  • In conversation with Chelene Knight
    Mar 21 2024

    Today I have a very special episode for you! We’re going to take a break from our Lit it and quit segment, so save all those great questions of yours for next week, and we'll jump right into my interview with not only an award winning, best selling and highly respected author but my own personal mentor, Chelene Knight.

    On last weeks episode, I discussed support systems with Denise Da Costa and we agreed that those systems can come from family or friends or muses, but I think if we really grind it down to a fine point, the best kind of support any writer can ask for, is for someone to believe in their work.

    And that’s what Chelene has done for me, and many many other writers over her tremendous career, as well as once again with her recent book Let It Go: Free Yourself from Old Beliefs and Find a New Path to Joy
