Saving Your Soil

Listen to "Saving The Soil" on Spreaker. The next time you feel like challenging your level of ability place a writing instrument in your hand and let it sit there without writing anything. The exercise teaches your imagination how to become aware of the energy as it builds inside your perception of reality. I'm constantly told by writers and authors how they have to be in the mood to put stuff down. Creative energy isn't a mood. It's what we do everyday in every place of business. We collaborate with other creative minds. Because of this Coronavirus shutdown that source of release has taken a hit by what it feels is you ignoring it.. Kind of a weird thought right? How can you ignore creative energy? For some, that level of expectation has been completely run into the ground because not only are you playing the part of a parent but you're the teacher, the business planner and promoter and the motivational speaker to everything and everyone around you except with you. Hold that writing instrument. Don't use it. Just hold it above a very clean sheet of paper. Begin the process of learning how to recognize how creativity moves through you. After fifteen minutes drop the pen and walk away. Watch your mood suddenly change. Every creative endorphin that thought it was going to come to life on that sheet of paper is reacting. This is what it's like to ignore your creative self. Awareness is your greatest tool right now. It is the key that unlocks the availability of stability and everything that questions it. Swoosh right over your head! Awareness is the key that unlocks the availability of stability and everything that questions it. As we continue to evolve with these unexpected changes of structure you can't leave your creative self behind. Trusting the thinking patterns and knowing if something is out of tune or not in rhythm. On this podcast I introduce you to new ways to recognize new patters. Habit starters. Out of place thinking and something that comes to you as being someone you don't know. Be honest with me. Do you know yourself? You know your habits and escapes. Do you know yourself? Without writing I'd be without balance. It doesn't have to be pretty. Only trusted. If you think getting to know your family and friends during this social distancing has been a tough walk to take. Hold that writing instrument over a sheet of clean paper for fifteen minutes and get to know how you become you. Energy that can't be ignored. Save your soil.

Don Winslow

Listen to "Don Winslow Releases The Book Broken" on Spreaker. In six intense, haunting short novels, Don Winslow returns to the themes that are the hallmarks of his acclaimed body of work—crime, corruption, vengeance, justice, loss, betrayal, guilt, and redemption—to explore the savagery and nobility that drive and define the human condition. “Broken”: In the volume’s title story, police dispatcher Eva McNabb takes the call of a police officer’s brutal murder by a vicious drug gang. It’s her own kid, Danny. Then Eva makes her own call. Summoning her elder son, Jimmy, also a cop, Eva commands: Avenge your brother. I want you to kill them all. “Crime 101”: A string of high-level jewel heists up and down the Pacific Coast Highway has gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls ‘Crime 101.’ Police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels. But Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man. Now the lone wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score and Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101. “The San Diego Zoo”: Young police officer Chris Shea is called to investigate a runaway chimp – armed with a revolver. Winslow tips his hat to Elmore Leonard in this story of serious detective work leavened with wit and humor as Chris has to solve a mystery, redeem his reputation, and get the girl. “Sunset”: When surfing legend and chronic criminal Terry Maddux jumps bail for a felony possession charge, equally legendary bail bondsman Duke Kasmajian decides that to catch a surfer, you hire a surfer – private investigator Boone Daniels, who has to find his hero before it’s too late. “Paradise”: While on vacation in Hawaii, best friends and hydro-cannabis entrepreneurs Ben, Chon, and O decide to expand their distribution territory from the mainland to the islands, arousing the hostility of a local crime syndicate and turning paradise into a battleground. “The Last Ride”: To former soldier and cowboy-turned Border Patrol agent Cal Strickland, the illegals who try to jump his stretch of the Texas-Mexico border are a nameless, faceless group who need to be sent back to their side of the line. That is until he sees the little girl in a cage. And Cal knows the time has come to make a stand and help her escape. In BROKEN, Winslow creates a world of high-level thieves and low-life crooks, obsessed cops and jaded private detectives, dope dealers and government agents, bounty hunters and fugitives. Diverse and richly drawn, these characters—some familiar, others new—are lost souls driving without headlights on the dark highway of modern America. Set in New Orleans and Hawaii, Southern California and south Texas, each story in this collection is distinctively Winslow, shaped by his trademark blend of insight, humanity, humor, drama, and consummate literary craftsmanship. A powerful, gripping collection of tales that will become classics of crime fiction, BROKEN is Don Winslow at his nerve-shattering, heartbreaking best.
