Tino is also a Podcaster with his own award nominated show on iTunes. We have conducted an interview with him. In your opinion, how different is acting in UK versus acting in Hollywood? Well, I've been acting far more years in the UK than I did in Hollywood so I can't really compare fairly but I would say in Hollywood actors are far more market-savvy and the Industry is mainly interested in making movies that will be profitable whereas in the UK there is a much more diverse acceptance of the Independent film scene and taking risks with projects with a,shall we say, more controversial or sensitive nature that the studios are not prepared to take. Do you prefer some roles over the others? Which are your favourite roles? Of course, but generally if I read a script which has something different to say and resonates with me t...

I'm one of those people that likes strategically plan for all my day's events. 5:30 am I'm up, after that I get into Shelter4Art orders.

A Movie Studio executive that has read the Movie Script version of Book One has suggested a PG rating. Which are the issues that your books deal with? The books deal with Racism, Homophobia and Religious Entitlement. They teach children that these concepts are dated and we need to move on with tolerance and acceptance. What is the most...

Tonight our guest is JR Wirth . He is an author from Southern California, currently living in San Bernardino. We have conducted with him an interview about his books. Do you consider it your strengths to combine ordinary people with extraordinary circumstances, to create characters that will jump off the page? I do consider it a strength, but it’s the reading audience that will ultimately make the final judgement. As I write them, I spend a lot of time inside the heads of the characters—some more than others. I see them in the scene, or in a moment, and I see those around the character, and then it takes on a life of its own.

She is the creator of the magazine column Rated PG! and have published her articles in a variety of websites both in Hong Kong and abroad. We have conducted an interview with Orla on her ebook for new dads - Daddy 101 . How did you become a parenting advisor? Before I became a parent, I was already treating individuals for physical complaints using Scenar Therapy, and facilitating regular meditation groups so it felt natural to focus exclusively on parenting once I had found my own parenting balance. Becoming a parent was an eye-opening experience for me, to say the least, and it quickly became apparent that parents don’t get the support they need to get them through the huge changes and challenges that come up for them when they cross the bridge to Parenthood. All energy goes into taking care of baby l...

Tonight our guest is Amiya Powell , a native New Yorker, the author of The Rabbit Hole: An Erotic Tale . Amiya is fascinated by the subject of human duality, and all things occult, bizarre and fringe, crafting dark stories with twisted plots and flawed heroes. She longs to make your heart race and your palms sweat and your stomach flutter. She wants you to jump, eyes closed and arms outstretched into the Great Unknown, and perhaps meet her there for coffee. We have conducted an interview with her. Is this your first full length novel? No. A few years ago there was a little gem called Redneck Jesus, about a group of Scientists who use a DNA scraping from the Shroud of Turin to clone Jesus Christ. Instead of the peaceful Messiah from the bible, they get a foul-mouthed hothead, who loves fighting, motorcycles, cheap booze and cheaper women. I thought it was hilarious and ahead of its time, but no one would touch it with a ten foot pole. It was controversial, to say the least. ...

What is so good in your stories that you received 5 stars recognition on Amazon's readers? The family aspect of the stories and the adventures which the characters experience during the tales stand out in my mind. These stories have survived nearly 150 years of my family history and so I beleive people are intrigued by these early American Settlers and as such develop lasting bonds with these characters. That said I feel people overall just enjoy the fact that the Donbridge Series is fresh and new and not a mainstream story collection. Who should read these books in your series 'Donbridge...

We have conducted an interview with her. What are the challenges of writing children's illustrated books? Writing children’s illustrated books requires text that suggests a picture to the artist. The artist’s picture then must illuminate the child’s curiosity to read further, finally, to complete the book.  Illustrated books are a challenge even if you are not an illustrator.

What is unique that you have discovered when you were writing "The Aquitaine Reluctant Reader Series"? This series is a “picture book” for young adults, who for a multitude of reasons, do not like to read. They...

Hawk’s Ascension is the second in my Hawk’s Legacy series. It is the continuation of Nathaniel Hawk’s life journey. He has bested his enemies and is now able to focus on his wife and his career.

As a business consultant, other than a law degree, what other qualifications does Troy D. Renkemeyer posses? I’m also a CPA, but the most important thing about me is a decade of helping businesses with tax, income and overall business strategy. Every growing business needs a good consultant. Especially when financial decisions are to be made. What are your key strengths and what are you most successful at? My greatest strength is my ability to boil complex tax and legal issues down to very simple and easy to understand terms.
