Because I Write Everyday

Becoming a daily writer in 1994 didn't seem like a chore. It was more like learning how to stop being a pack rat. I horded everything. From pictures to doodles to artful expression cut from magazines. I was my goal to develop a relationship with that personality with so many identities on the inside. 21 years later. I think its time to help you begin a path of incredible discovery.

Killer Beaz's Writing Instrument

I believe the greatest writing teachers on the planet are those that use writing as a tool. One day Texting and Face Booking might be an Olympic sport. But in 2015. Lost is the art of word dumps and doodle droppings that happen to take the shape of paragraphs and sentences.

Unscrambling Scrambled Eggs

I'm shocked that it's been nearly four months since I've shared a few paragraphs from my new book Scrambled Eggs. A lot has happened over the past few months. The author has stepped away and the editor has taken over. Oh Oh... lets hear his side of the process of writing.

Todd Moss The Golden Hour

Todd Moss, who was the chief U.S. diplomat for West Africa (overseeing 16 countries) under President George W. Bush, draws on his deep knowledge and his real-life experience confronting an actual coup in Africa when, in August 2008, he was dispatched by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Mauritania to negotiate with General Aziz just days after he overthrew a democratically-elected president. Now, Moss incorporates his extensive foreign policy experience into his new book, THE GOLDEN HOUR. It’s a political theory where there are vital hundred hours following a political coup d’état when there is still a chance that diplomacy, backchannels or military action might reverse a deadly chain of events. Already garnering remarkable praise, Todd Moss has both the perfect background and the natural storytelling skills to pull readers in from the first page, taking them deep inside the clandestine world of 21st century American national security, and the layers of mostly anonymous Washington staffers who actually operate the levers of national power.

Beverly Delich

Because radio disc jockeys hit the internet for the quick bits about artists. Listeners have never been able to get a full grip on who Michael Buble' is. Until now. From the I Heart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with the woman that brought Michael to fame. Beverly Delich. Michael Bublé just kicked off his Summer 2014. How long a road was it to this status and who believed in him back in 1993 when he was an 18-year old performing at a Local Youth Talent Show in Vancouver? The answer is Beverly Delich - entrepreneur, talent agent extraordinaire, president of Silver Lining Management and author of just released, Come Fly With Me…Michael Bublé’s Rise to Stardom (A Memoir), published by Douglas & McIntyre. Come Fly With Me reveals Delich’s true behind-the-scenes story of the raw beginnings of Bublé’s struggles and the stepping-stones that led to his ascent to the top. “From the very beginning, deep inside his heart and soul, Michael wanted the brass ring and nothing less”, says Delich. “Even facing adversity, his desire for a major label and a major management company were the objectives.”

Author Bill Janovitz Rocks Off

December 3-4, 1969. Keith and Mick stood at the same microphone at Muscle Shoals, lights dimmed, splitting a fifth of bourbon, and simultaneously sang the melodies and harmonies on the three songs that they had recorded over three days: “Brown Sugar,” “You Got to Move,” and “Wild Horses.” That’s your rock ‘n’ roll fantasy right there, pal. A six-piece band working in a tiny converted coffin factory across from an Alabama graveyard, on an eight-track recorder, with no computer editing or Autotune, recorded three songs, representing 30 percent of one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll records of all time. So tells Bill Janovitz of the making of the inimitable triple-platinum album, Sticky Fingers, which hit number one in the US and the UK in 1971, skyrocketing the band to superstardom. To Bill, all artists reveal themselves through their work and the Rolling Stones are no different: Each song exposes a little more of their soul. In Rocks Off, Janovitz reveals the forces at work behind the band's music by deconstructing their most representative tunes from their incredible fifty years of record making. Written by a Stones fanatic, this is a song-by-song chronicle that maps the landmarks of the band's career while expanding on their recording and personal history. Much like friends pouring over old records or having a barroom argument over the merits of certain songs, the book presents the musical leaps taken by Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, and the rest of the band and discusses how the lyrical content both reflected and influenced popular culture. The song choices are chronological and subjective; many of them are the classic hits; however, the book digs deeper into beloved album tracks and songs with unique stories behind them. Rocks Off is the ultimate listening guide and thinking man's companion that will spur you to dust off those old albums and listen in with a newfound perspective on one of the most famous and acclaimed rock 'n' roll bands of all time. ABOUT BILL JANOVITZ is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter in the band Buffalo Tom. He has also released four solo albums. He wrote Exile on Main Street about the iconic Stones album in the critically acclaimed 33 1/3 series. He has written extensively for the All Music Guide online site and has also contributed to Boston Magazine, the Boston Phoenix, and Post Road magazine. He lives in Massachusetts with his family.

Harvey Burgess Kiss Her Goodbye

If you love Perry Mason smarts combined with Matlock's finesse with a touch of Angela Lansbury. You need to hook up wtih Kiss Her Goodbye. From the I Heart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Harvey Burgess Remember Magnum P.I.? Spenser? Maybe Humphrey Bogart’s Sam Spade? Those time-honored private eyes that you’d love to hang out with, have a beer, talk about life, hear about their cases? Houston Cash is that kind of guy. An unassuming ex-cop with a laid-back manner, some interesting connections and a penchant for taking on cases that 1) piss off the local cop brass (he has a bone to pick with at least one of them) and 2) always lead to some kind of explosive situation that requires wit, skill and sheer bravery to overcome. In “Kiss Her Goodbye,” Houston takes on a case that starts out as what appears to be the simple stalking of a high-profile banker’s trophy wife but soon seems to have its own mob connection, then it suddenly plunges into a life-or-death kidnapping that takes off across the country, has a mysterious, diabolical villain and ultimately comes to an explosive climax on the cliffs of Malibu, California. You find pretty quickly that nothing is as it seems. Think ‘Body Heat’ with a slightly southern accent. Along the way you get to know Houston and delve into some pretty interesting characters that create twists and turns you’ll never figure out until the last page. And this is just his first case, so buckle up and enjoy the ride. Like Yogi Berra says, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” and the adventures of Houston Cash are only just beginning!
