Author Robert Monroe knows well of the world he has written about. Though he was not in a rock band, he knows the entertainment world well. Monroe worked as a casting director and talent executive for a dozen years, including projects with the Walt Disney Company and the United Paramount Network.

RJ Stewart is an author and television writer who has worked in Hollywood for 22 years, working on Xena: Warrior Princess. He has been lauded by stars like Lucy Lawless for his writing Xena as a flawed person who struggled, but always made the right choices. RJ has also collaborated with Kevin Costner, James Garner, Charlie Sheen and Pierce Brosnan. He is promoting his new book, Crazy Hawk, set 100 years into the future. “After two decades writing in Hollywood, I took two decades off,” says Stewart. “But even as the world has changed over time, the qualities and virtues that inspire us, particularly resiliency, have not changed and I think my novel reflects that spirit.” Crazy Hawk is about a resilient and fierce woman, Deirdre, seeking to save her kidnapped sister while seeking revenge amidst a global landscape in ruin.

Born to American parents in Beirut, Lebanon, Patrick Adams’ love of travel may have begun on his first flight when he was just four days old. Patrick spent his early years in such exotic locations as Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Las Palmas, Canary Islands. Not surprisingly, he graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in Travel and Tourism. Patrick’s debut children’s book, a travel adventure titled Lisa Goes to England, was released in May 2015. England was just the first locale of many travel adventures in what would become the Amazing Lisa series, inspired by Patrick’s own children. With tales set in France, Australia, India, Japan, Brazil, and Italy, each story features exploration, mischief, and magic in some of the world’s most enchanting places. A second series called Rhythm’s World debuted in February 2017 and is built around Patrick’s daughter, Rhythm. A subsequent “series within a series” called Rhythm’s World Tour encompasses three books about North America, Europe, and Asia. Rhythm Meets Lyric, released in 2021, celebrates Rhythm’s new sister, Lyric. Among the awards Patrick Adams has received for his children’s books are the Readers Favorite Award Book Excellence Award, Hot Diggity Award, Maincrest Media Award, and Independent Press Award. In 2021, Patrick Adams’ debut children’s album, the Hot Diggity Award-winning Amazing World, was released, and he also launched his NAPPA Award-winning Kindie Rock Stars podcast, which celebrates other children’s musicians. Seven more releases followed, including The Friends EP, a single, “Meet Us in Brazil,” and the albums Travel Time with Patrick, Kindies Do the ‘80s Volumes One through Four, and Adventure Time with Patrick (2023 NAPPA Award).

Mark Farner--Captain of Grand Funk Railroad!! 32:13

As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n’ roll icon. “Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new nine-song album from the legendary guitarist and singer/ songwriter. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer To My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970. This is a classic! Listen to this! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.…
