About the Work: Have you ever thought about the effect that vibrations have upon you; particularly sound and light frequencies? How about tonal intervals, both melodic and harmonic?

Enter a world of five galaxies filled with mortal and immortal beings, from present day and ancient myths, folk tales and legends.

Writers Talk Interview: Tune in on March 31, 2018 at noon MDT to hear Helen Starbuck talk about her work with Writers Talk host Jerry Fabyanic on KYGT-FM radio. About the Book: The Mad Hatter’s Son is a tale of love, friendship, betrayal, and unexpected twists and turns that leaves you unable to pull away. Annie Collins is an operating room nurse who is used to caring for others, both inside the OR and in her own personal life. So, it isn’t a surprise when she is drawn—albeit unwillingly—into the chaos that is her long-time friend Libby Crowder’s life. The friendship between Annie and Libby began deteriorating after Libby met Edward Matheisen and quickly ended after she married him. It’s been four years since Annie and Libby parted ways. But now she’s back and seeking Annie’s help. With puzzling symptoms and a plea for help, Annie can’t help but wonder: Is Libby really ill or is there more to the story than what Libby is saying? Annie’s suspicions heighten when Libby’s close friend is severely beaten and dies. Faced with Libby’s own apparent suicide, Annie is beside herself with guilt and unable to stop asking questions to uncover the truth. […]
In a conversation with Writers Talk host Jerry Fabyanic about her recent work Is Anyone Else Feeling the Same Way?, Cassy Huidobro discusses her work that delves deep for answers to spiritual questions she hungered for but simply couldn’t get because she grew up in a world in which it was taboo to talk about religion. About the Book: Growing up, Cassy hungered for answers to spiritual questions she simply couldn’t get. It was either taboo to talk about religion, or people couldn’t touch the topic without judging different beliefs. She would ask herself: Is there really one absolute religion? Do we have a path set up before we come to Earth? Should we always follow our intuition? If so, why have free will? These and other questions led her to a quest of self-discovery, purpose and belonging. Through personal stories, Cassy gets honest with readers and shares her journey of spirituality, lost love, reflection and finding peace. In this book, you’ll find solidarity in the search for finding answers, if you’ve ever felt the same way. About Cassy: Cassy Huidobro was born in Lima, Peru and raised in Northern Virginia. She’s a writer and a poet, and advocates for […]
