Randi-Lee Bowslaugh-Discusses Her Passion for Writing, Mental Health, Parenting, & Kickboxing

Randi-Lee Bowslaugh-Discusses Her Passion for Writing, Mental Health, Parenting, & Kickboxing

Randi was born and raised in Ontario, Canada, and from a young age, she had a passion for helping others. She attended Niagara College and graduated at the top of her class from Community and Justice Services after completing her placement at a recovery house for alcohol and drug addictions. Post-graduation, she worked at a Native Friendship Centre for two and a half years while pursuing a university education in psychology. Randi-Lee continued working in social services for another four years as an employment counselor until she left to pursue her other passions.

In 2017 Randi published her first book about mental health awareness (Thoughts of a Wanderer) and knew this was what she was meant to do. While publishing her second book (A Mother’s Truth), she was diagnosed with cancer. Taking a break from writing and focusing on recovery.

Since then, she has expanded her writing with other nonfiction books, children’s books, social stories, draw-your-own-story series, scary stories, and more.

Another of Randi-Lee’s passions is kickboxing, which she did for over 10 years. She was a Canadian National Champion in kickboxing in 2015, competed at the World’s Kickboxing tournament later that year, and 2016 competed at the Pan-Am Games, where she received silver in her division. In 2020 she was chosen as one of the coaches for the Ontario Winter Games, where she inspired and coached young athletes. Unfortunately, a chronic illness has put a pause on kickboxing.

While she isn’t working, she is spending time with her family. Randi speaks honestly and openly about her struggles with her own mental health and as a parent – wanting to ensure that no one feels alone.

James Dickson—discusses his debut book A Thousand Little Moments: Grace-Shaped Parenting

James Dickson—discusses his debut book A Thousand Little Moments: Grace-Shaped Parenting


James Dickson is a loving father, husband, pastor, teacher, and author.

He comes from a background of banking and real estate, but has poured his life into ministry. It is evident in his book that he believes what he lives.

His book A Thousand Little Moments: Grace-Shaped Parenting, tells us the following:

Parenting is a long-term journey, but most of us are simply trying to make it through each day. Often, we look for quick-fix techniques, but the Bible offers something better. It points us to the Savior who graciously claims His own. Jesus is the Savior who had a long-term vision for His disciples that led Him to patiently engage with, delight in, shape, and pray for them. More than training tips, parents need to see Jesus and a new way to think about parenting in Him. A Thousand Little Moments will free us from the urgency of the moment by offering a long-term, grace-shaped philosophy of parenting.

Glenda Benevides-Author & Grammy considered Artist Talks "Courage" to Live Your Dreams



Check out this book overview from Glenda’s book Courage!

If you are alive and breathing, you are growing no matter what you believe or what is happening.
“Who am I?”
Ask yourself this ever-evolving, truth-seeking question every day and ponder it with curiosity. Embracing yourself as you are is a key factor in being able to move anything forward in this world as an empowered manifestation of the honest YOU.
Take the time to step back and reevaluate your life. This action will support your efforts to embrace your own thoughts, inspirations, and honest desires and sort out the inner monologue that is working against you. Look at your own truth and intentionally let go of others’ opinions.
The walls of fear take the wind out of the sails of courage. Own what are truly your feelings. Speak up and speak out with passion and fervor, and love who you are.

Dr. Lyn Squire

Dr. Lyn Squire

Another episode of the Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem Laced with Morality Podcast is coming with Lyn Squire🎙️

Lyn was born in Cardiff, South Wales. He earned his bachelor’s degree at the University of Wales, his master’s at the London School of Economics and his doctorate at Cambridge University. Lyn is now an American citizen living in Virginia.

From Development Specialist…

During a twenty-five year career at the World Bank, Lyn Squire published over thirty articles and several books within his area of expertise. Illustrative titles are: International Development: Is It Possible? (joint with Nobel Laureate J.E. Stiglitz, Foreign Policy), and Fighting Poverty (American Economic Review). He was also lead author for World Development Report, 1990, which introduced the metric – a dollar a day – still used today to measure poverty worldwide.

Lyn also served as editor of the Middle East Development Journal for over a decade, and was the founding president of the Global Development Network, an organization dedicated to supporting promising scholars from the developing world.

…To Mystery Writer

Lyn has always been an avid reader of whodunits and has reviewed scores of mysteries for the City Book Review (Sacramento, CA), but it was the thrill of solving Charles Dickens’s unfinished ‘Mystery of Edwin Drood’ that convinced him to put aside his development pen and turn to fiction. Finding a solution to the mystery has attracted massive interest since the author’s death in 1870. A 1998 bibliography lists over 2,000 entries, with continuations ranging from the obvious (a Sherlock Holmes pastiche) to the absurd (The Mysterious Mystery of Rude Dedwin???). Lyn’s version of what happened to Edwin is revealed in his first novel, Immortalised to Death. The adventures of his protagonist, Dunston Burnett, a non-conventional amateur detective, continue in Fatally Inferior and The Séance of Murder, the second and thirdstories in The Dunston Burnett Trilogy.

Lyn’s wife once remarked that his books on development were among the most boring she’d ever read. He’s hoping his mysteries fare a little better.

Audrey Gale—Corporate Banker Turned Author Sums Up Her Career as a Thriller Writer

Audrey Gale—Corporate Banker Turned Author Sums Up Her Career as a Thriller Writer


Audrey Gale long dreamed of being a writer, but never anticipated the circuitous road she’d take to get there. After twenty-plus years in the banking industry, she grew tired of corporate gamesmanship and pursued her master’s in fiction writing at the University of Southern California.

Her first novel, a legal thriller entitled The Sausage Maker’s Daughters, was published under the name A.G.S. Johnson. The novel explores one woman’s struggle to find her place amidst the upheaval of the radical 1960s.

Her second, The Human Trial, is the first book in a medical-thriller trilogy inspired by Gale’s own experiences with the gap between traditional medicine and approaches based on the findings of the great physicists of the 20th Century, like Einstein and Bohr. Both The Sausage Maker’s Daughters and The Human Trial incorporate Gale’s fascination with historical and scientific research, and always with women finding their places.

Gale lives in Los Angeles with her husband and dogs where she is found hiking the Santa Monica Mountains every chance she gets.

Taryn Souders—Award-Winning YA Author Shares Her Story

Taryn Souders—Award-Winning YA Author Shares Her Story


Taryn Souders was born in Dallas, Texas and lived all over before settling down in Florida with her husband, David, and their three kids.

She never started out planning to be a writer—she was a middle school math teacher for a couple years. But, being a voracious reader as a kid it gave her a love for words (and working with middle-schoolers gave her a sense of humor). It seemed like a good idea to combine the two (words and humor) and voila, a book was born.

Sally Apokedak of the Apokedak Literary Agency represents her, and she couldn’t ask for a more hardworking, insightful, integrity-filled agent. She has been blessed in her friendship with her and hope there are many more years (and books) to come.

Edward M. Lerner— techno thriller, futuristic author, shares details about his award winning career

Edward M. Lerner— techno thriller, futuristic author, shares details about his award winning career

A physicist and computer engineer, Edward M. Lerner toiled in the vineyards of high tech for thirty years, as everything from engineer to senior vice president. Then, suitably intoxicated, he began writing full time. His novels range from near-future technothrillers, like Small Miracles and Energized, to futuristic mysteries, like The Company Man, to such traditional SF-adventure fare as Dark Secret, Deja Doomed, and his InterstellarNet series. Collaborating with Larry Niven, Lerner also wrote the space-opera epic Fleet of Worlds series. But Ed doesn't limit himself to novels. His writings on science and technology centerpiece Frontiers of Space, Time, and Thought: Essays and Stories on The Big Questions. In Trope-ing the Light Fantastic, he examines the science *behind* the fiction. Finally, much of Ed's short fiction has been collected in Creative Destruction, Countdown to Armageddon / A Stranger in Paradise, Muses & Musings, and -- most recently -- in The Sherlock Chronicles & The Paradise Quartet. Lerner's 2015 novel, InterstellarNet: Enigma, won the inaugural Canopus Award for interstellar-themed fiction. His writing has also been nominated for Hugo, Locus, and Prometheus awards.

Novelist, Travel Expert, TV Writer & the creator of “Tubewalking”—Myron Edwards Shares His Journey

Novelist, Travel Expert, TV Writer & the creator of “Tubewalking”—Myron Edwards Shares His Journey


Born in 1952 in Orsett, Essex in England, the youngest son to Welsh parents Iris and Bill Edwards. Upon leaving school, he went into the travel industry, where he travelled the world, working in travel agencies, tour operators and airlines for some 30 years. In 1976 Myron began freelance writing for BBC, radio and television, his credits include the Two Ronnies, Week Endings, and the News Huddlines. In 1980, he joined JWT advertising, as a copywriter writing his first TV commercial for dog food inside 10 days.

His love for the creative never left him and in 1987 he created Tubewalking, a new map concept, to help people get around London easier on foot, which still operates today. In 1990 he married Niki, whose family background is Greek Cypriot.

On a family trip to Cyprus, visiting Aphrodite’s Rock for the first time, the beginnings of his passion to write the story of Mistress of the Rock came into fruition. Moving his family in 2005 to Cyprus to live, gave him the opportunity to write, as during this time he worked on campaigns for TV and Radio in an advertising agency in Limassol.

The first manuscript of the book was completed in 2007, released by a local publisher it had a limited audience, but was well received by those who had read it.

Doug Lawrence— Expert Mentor, Trainer & Author Discusses Mental Health

Doug Lawrence— Expert Mentor, Trainer & Author Discusses Mental Health


Doug Lawrence is an International Certified Mentor and holds two Mentor Certifications; Certificate of Competence – Mentor and the Certificate of Competence – Journey Mentor from the International Mentoring Community. Doug is the only one to hold the Certificate of Competence – Journey Mentor in the world today.

Doug served in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for 25 years retiring in February of 1999 at the rank of Staff Sargent.

Doug has been involved in the certification of mentors since 2009 when he first partnered with an organization to provide mentor certification based on knowledge. Doug has now partnered with an expert in certification to provide a certification for mentors based on competence.

Doug’s Practice of Mentoring continues to grow and has resulted in: 1) his teaching of others how to effectively mentor, 2) the mentoring of others internationally, 3) and being recognized as a thought leader in the mentoring space.

He has been working with researchers to examine the role of mentoring as a support for those struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). His experience in law enforcement coupled with working with people as a mentor who are suffering from PTSD has afforded him a unique view of mentoring and PTSD. His personal story is one that is compelling and it fuels his passion about wanting to help others.

Doug is a firm believer that mentoring begins with a person’s personal growth thereby helping to remove any obstacles or barriers to their professional growth and career development. As Doug has found, some of those barriers can be mental health and mental well-being challenges.

“You are Not Alone” came from the all to often stigma of people being afraid to ask for help, afraid to step out of the closet and say, “I need help”. Afraid to extend a hand to say, “it’s okay I will go with you on this journey.”

“You are Not Alone” came from cry for help and increased anxiety and depression from having to wait far to long for treatment and to begin a healing journey.

This book provides a solution to that problem.

Author, Editor, & Book Coach Dana Pittman is a USA Today Bestselling Writer— Find out Why

Dana is a teller of tales, a spinner of words, slowly exploring the truth between the lines. She's a story structure geek fascinated by love in life and on the page (or device, depending on how you love to read).

She has forty novels (and counting) published under two pen names in several genres--contemporary romance, romantic suspense, political thriller, and paranormal romance. Dana has plotted and edited hundreds of novels by Amazon Top 100, USA Today, and New York Times bestselling authors. And she's always looking for ways to grow as a writer so that she can evolve as an editor.

Off the page, she's married to her high-school sweetheart for over twenty years. Together they live in Houston with three adult children and one diva dog--who doesn't know she's a dog . If you made it this far, She's saved a gem for you. She's truly proud to say ... she's a holding place for your novel until you successfully type The End. She's firm but compassionate. She'll hold you accountable for your goals and will be your biggest cheerleader. Because she believes your story matters.

Deadly Combination of Chemist turned Suspense Author—Deborah Sprinkle

Deadly Combination of Chemist turned Suspense Author—Deborah Sprinkle


Debbie Sprinkle is an ordinary woman who serves an extraordinary God. She grew up in St. Louis where she met and married her husband and attended college. She became a chemist and worked in research for a number of years.

Debbie’s writing didn’t actually start until much later when she and her husband moved to Memphis and she had retired from teaching chemistry. Then Debbie began leading Bible studies at her church. The quality of her weekly emails led to an invitation to join the Women’s Speaking and Writing Team, and to attend the 2009 "She Speaks" conference. At that conference, Debbie and Kendra Armstrong became friends and out of that friendship, their first book, "Common Sense and an Uncommon God" was born. It was later renamed to "Exploring the Faith of America’s Presidents."

Debbie's second book is entitled "Deadly Guardian." She is currently working on several other stories--all mysteries or suspense--her favorite kind.

Heart to Heart Conversation With Christian Romance Author by Night and Pharmacist by Day—Marie Hobbs

Heart to Heart Conversation With Christian Romance Author by Night and Pharmacist by Day—Marie Hobbs

As a person who fell in love with books before she could read and created stories before she could write, Marie Hobbs is an avid reader. As a woman who is a hopeful romantic, she has read a lot of romance novels. As a Christian, she searched for stories with the same values as mine. As she grew older (and wiser), it became more difficult to find characters she could relate to and books that she could enjoy from cover to cover. She wanted to see herself, her friends, and her family reflected in the books she was reading. People of color who are thriving in their careers, growing in God, and approaching life with humor and grace – as the main characters. Since she couldn’t find enough of the books she wanted to read, she started writing them. Blending real-life experiences, storylines conceived over the years, and creative license, the Unexpected Love Series was born – later-in-life inspirational romances with people of color as the main characters. The first two books in the series - Love Next Door (novella) and Better Than Good (novel) - were released in January 2023 and are available on Amazon.  Make sure to check out this guest & connect on Instagram with author @mariehobbs You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Google Podcast, or visit my website www.drkatherinehayes.com💗 • • • #authors #podcast #interview #apple #spotify #google #authorsofinstagram #books #read #reader #writerscommunity #listen #writer #write #mayhem #authorlife #author #bookstagram #blog #book #booklover #authorssupportingauthors #writersofinstagram #writers #readersofinstagram #readersofig #readersgonnaread #mystery #diversebooksmatter
