Karin Slaughter

Listen to "Karin Slaughter The Good Daughter" on Spreaker. In 2015, New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling author, Karin Slaughter dazzled readers with her explosive and chilling standalone thriller, Pretty Girls. Last summer, Slaughter fans rejoiced with publication of The Kept Woman, a twisty police procedural featuring Georgia detective, Will Trent, which marked the highly-anticipated return to her popular series. In THE GOOD DAUGHTER (On Sale: August 8, 2017), twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead, their father—Pikeville’s notorious defense attorney—devastated, and their family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night. Now Charlie has followed in her father's footsteps to become a lawyer herself—the ideal good daughter. But when violence comes to Pikeville again with a violent tragedy that leaves the whole town traumatized, Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it's a case that unleashes the terrible memories she's spent so long trying to suppress. Because the surprising truth about the crime which destroyed her family nearly thirty years ago won't stay buried forever. Packed with Slaughter’s trademark intensity, emotional depth, shocking twists and turns, and masterfully created characters, THE GOOD DAUGHTER is fiction at its best. This novel is the perfect example of why thrillers are so exhilarating and why publicizing them is so exciting.

Ralph Holguin

Listen to "Ralph Holguin From RMD Garage On Velocity" on Spreaker. As a high school dropout who grew up in a disadvantaged neighborhood, Ralph Holguin was unlikely to succeed, let alone own his own company and become a millionaire. However, he overcame the odds, creating RMD Garage, one of the nation's hottest automotive restoration shops, and starring in the all-new Velocity TV series RMD Garage. In 1991, Ralph launched a small local car wash at the age of 19, and with just $600 to his name, he set upon his dream to become a success in the auto industry. After many years of hard work and hustle, he introduced RMD Garage in Southern California, a wildly popular restoration shop that restores and customizes classic cars into show-stopping, remarkable vehicles that have caught the attention of car aficionados across the country. In the first episode of RMD Garage, we'll see Ralph's outstanding creations come to life, including a 1958 Chevy Apache Dream Catcher, a 1962 Bel Air Bubbletop, and a 1957 Lincoln Continental. On July 31, Ralph can share the amazing inspirational story behind his success and his advice for other young entrepreneurs, as well as the new show RMD Garage and some of his favorite creations. 

Sean McFate

Listen to "Sean McFate Deep Black" on Spreaker. Writing withNew York Timesbestselling author Bret Witter, SEAN MCFATE burst into the military action thriller genre with his highly-praised debut "Shadow War" which theProvidence Journalcalled “A tour de force.”              Leaning on his experiences working in the private military industry, the U.S. Army and Amnesty International, McFate returns to the world of military contractor Tom Locke in DEEP BACK (Morrow, on sale 8/8/2017)).               After a mission goes horribly wrong in the Ukraine, Locke is on the run from his former employer Apollo Outcomes, a private military corporation led by the treacherous Brad Winters. Locke and his team travel to Iraq, where they find work rescuing refugees trapped behind ISIS lines, often paid next to nothing.             Meanwhile, in Paris a motorcade is ambushed by masked men, who corner a Saudi prince and steal a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. A thousand miles away in Istanbul, the prince's brother receives a mysterious phone call, and moments later, he narrowly escapes a black ops ambush after a dash through the grand bazaar.             In Iraq, a stranger approaches Locke and offers him good money to track down the young prince, whom they fear has joined ISIS. What Locke doesn't know is that multiple sides of a clandestine war are scrambling to find the prince; that he may be holding the key to a new world order; and that his father may or may not be using him to topple the Saudi government. As Locke pushes deeper into ISIS territory, he must navigate both the on-the-ground battle lines and the larger Deep State war he has stumbled into yet again.

Best Behavior

Listen to "Alex From Best Behavior" on Spreaker. Compared to other rock bands, a crowd notorious for its outsize egos, Best Behavior's sense of brotherhood might seem too good to be true. Hailing from Brooklyn, songwriter and guitarist Alex Gruenburg, Jon Mann (guitar) Dan Jacobson (bass), and Chris Jimenez (drums), crash together with the kind of swagger that would be hard to fabricate. Alex is an eclectic, taking cues from the classics of surf rock, hip hop, and Britpop. Taken all together, their music chronicles something like a New Yorker's fantasy about L.A - catchy dance-meets-garage-pop melodies reminiscent of cinematic palm trees and sunsets. #nofilter, but everyone knows the view’s a little too pretty to be real. Absorbed in their early morning reverie, the band is always evolving. Best Behavior’s debut album, Good Luck Bad Karma, is the soundtrack to the kind of Friday night that starts with a shot of whiskey (no chaser) and ends with slices at dawn. Not an unremarkable evening by any means, but with their latest string of singles, they're headed somewhere new. It’s still a party, but it’s moved outdoors, with flashes of synth, neon lights, and spiked lemonade. It's Phil Spector for the digital age: the wall of strings has been replaced by a barrage of beats, bells, and xylophones. With Best Behavior, life imitates art. The party they sing about is the party they seem to ignite. A little something for the strange children of the world. With each wave of sound, you find yourself spirited away. The scene disappears, and you feel as though you have your thumb on the pulse of the night. You’re caught and conquered on a sticky ballroom floor. And still, all the way home, you'll blink out the hypnotic rhythm of rock ‘n’ roll, readying yourself for where their party will take you next.

You Can't Predict Storms

Listen to "You Can't Predict Storms" on Spreaker. Being a daily writer I've taken the words dropped on a sheet of paper seriously. In the beginning I didn't realize the depth of the inner soul until what has been written stepped free of the outside shell and began to prepare the steps taken for the potential of a fast moving storm. I can't stand it when people say they feel a bad mood coming on. Just have it. So we can all get over it. Mood swings and mindsets are put into play as reasons to pay closer attention to where you stand. Utilize the presence of the changes and grow into that new pair of success stories. If more creative people spoke openly after the entire process more people would participate with the workload. But that's not what we do. We'd rather brag about the victory believing the legacy of who we are and why will hold up longer than a rock. I don't write to remember. I write to teach. What lessons are you missing? You've been here before. This isn't about reincarnation. This is about those circles you keep creating. Move beyond the moment and make waves that put you in charge of success not a boss that refuses to lend a helping hand.
