YouTube video description What if no one is coming to save you—and that is actually the good news? In this episode of Books That Make You, award-winning author and entrepreneur Debbie Bishop joins us to talk about PILLYWIGGIN: AWAKENING, a sweeping fantasy adventure filled with fey worlds, hidden realms, imprisoned boys, dragon danger, martial arts, strategy, friendship, and the powerful idea of becoming your own hero. Debbie shares how the story explores resilience, reinvention, and the strength that comes from rising through difficult circumstances rather than waiting for rescue. She discusses the layered world of PILLYWIGGIN: AWAKENING, where characters build bonds, train themselves, challenge stereotypes, and discover courage in unexpected places. The conversation also moves beyond fantasy into Debbie's own creative life, including her work in Hollywood, her experience reinventing herself after personal and professional setbacks, and her views on creativity, metaphysics, AI, and the future of storytelling. She opens up about learning to stop diminishing herself, step into her own voice, and finally promote the work she has spent years creating. This conversation is for fantasy readers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever felt called to break out of their shell and trust their own power. #DebbieBishop #PILLYWIGGINAWAKENING #FantasyBooks #BooksThatMakeYou #EpicFantasy #AuthorInterview #CreativeWriting #AIAndStorytelling #WomenAuthors | — | ||||||

| 6/18/25 | ![]() S:7 E:11 | Love, Loss & Space Terror, The Dead Don't Rest in Space, Requiem with John Palisano | What happens when love, loss, and music collide in deep space? In this episode, Bram Stoker Award-winner and former Horror Writers Association president John Palisano joins us to talk about his latest book, Requiem. Set aboard a massive mortuary spacecraft called Eden, the novel blends gothic romance, cosmic horror, and speculative science fiction into one unforgettable journey. Eden isn't just a final resting place—it's a monument to memory, haunted by the preserved dead and a creeping entity named Animus. As musician Tessa tries to compose a new Requiem, she unwittingly opens a doorway for something dark and hungry. What follows is a chilling descent into hallucination, grief, and moral questions about memory, identity, and technology. John reveals the inspiration behind Eden, the emotional weight of grief, and how love—both lost and remembered—fuels the characters and narrative. He also teases real music he composed for the novel and the real science behind some of its more terrifying concepts. This isn't just another haunted spaceship story—Requiem explores the kind of horror that lingers, that haunts your thoughts long after the final page. | — | ||||||

Juliet Clark, founder of Author Traffic School and Superbrand Publishing, shares her personal journey from publishing her own novels like Pitch Slapped and Dead by Dawn, to helping other authors find their footing in the often murky world of platform building. In this candid and practical conversation, Juliet breaks down why writing the book is just the beginning.

We also get into her philosophy on gratitude and manifestation, how she sees author success as a long-term journey, and why becoming a successful author also means embracing entrepreneurship. Whether you're about to publish your first book or looking to scale your author brand, Juliet's insights are both inspiring and actionable. #AuthorMarketing #SelfPublishing #JulietClark #BookPromotion #IndieAuthors #PlatformBuilding #SuperbrandPublishing #AuthorTrafficSchool | — | ||||||

From the forests of Montana to ancient stone circles in Ireland, Laura's personal stories and teachings invite us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our inner voice. She shares the truth behind our creative blocks and the myth that we're "not creative"—stories we've absorbed over time but don't have to believe. We also explore why wonder matters, not just for personal fulfillment but for building empathy and a more compassionate society. Laura opens up about her own challenges, including divorce and life transitions, and how they shaped her understanding of inner kindness, creativity, and self-expression. Whether you're juggling work, parenting, or just trying to get through the day, The Wild Why offers a compassionate call to stop in the moment, take a breath, and ask "what if?" again. #TheWildWhy #LauraMunson #BooksThatMakeYou #SelfHelp #Creativity #WritingLife #Wonder | — | ||||||
| 5/22/25 | ![]() S:7 E:8 | Kelly O'Hearn on Channeling the Arcanum Series Through Tarot & Past Lives | Author Kelly O'Hearn joins the show to explore her captivating Arcanum series—a saga that intertwines time, love, and soul contracts across lifetimes. With In the Temple Shadows and Whispers In The Forest, the first two books of the six-part series, Kelly invites readers into a richly woven tale inspired by her own past life regressions and channeled entirely through the language of tarot. In this episode, Kelly breaks down how tarot goes beyond fortune-telling and becomes a powerful tool for self-discovery. She shares how the Arcanum series grew from visions of her former lives, where she played the roles of muse and mistress to powerful men—and how those soul contracts echo through time to shape the heroine's modern-day life in New York City. We also dive into the deeper themes of the series: the seductive pull of power, the quest for freedom, the emotional impact of soulmates, and the transformation women experience in midlife.

| 3/11/25 | ![]() S:7 S:01 Unpacking Race in Education with Dr. Laura C. Chávez-Moreno | How do schools shape our understanding of race—intentionally or not? Dr. Laura C. Chávez-Moreno joins us to discuss her groundbreaking book How Schools Make Race, which examines the ways educational systems reinforce racial identities and hierarchies. Through her research in a bilingual education program, Dr. Chávez-Moreno uncovers how schools, often unknowingly, contribute to the racialization of students. From curriculum choices to classroom dynamics, tracking, and resource allocation, these factors all play a role in shaping racial categories. She explores how bilingual education is both an attempt to counteract historical discrimination and a system operating within existing racial structures, creating tensions and contradictions. The conversation also touches on how educators can approach race in the classroom, the importance of evolving racial education, and how students themselves can advocate for change. If you're a teacher, parent, school leader, or simply someone interested in how race and education intersect, this is a must-watch conversation. | — | ||||||
