An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Jacob Hunt, on air from February 8th

Welcome to shift, by otherpoet. A book for the lost, the broken, the unknown, the outcast, the dreamer, and the doubter. At its core, shift is about a person’s healing journey. And that is the most beautiful thing about this story: anyone can find themselves in it. We have all been hurt, we’ve all had to heal, and none of us have any idea what we’re doing. No matter where you are in your story, the highest peaks or the lowest valleys, you can be at home in the pages of shift.

Shift is a unique collection of poems told like an epic. Each poem lends itself to the others, and though perspectives shift throughout the book, the pages tell a connecting story.

The poems of shift are not titled, each poem floats to its own rhythm on a single page resulting in a flowing, congruent story – otherpoet hopes that you will find your own meaning in each poem, your own cadence, and your own pace.

The book was illustrated by the incredible artist Jericó Delayah and is full of vibrant, impactful illustrations, bringing shift to life.

The last page of shift reads, “you are loved,” and that is the most important message. In the end, the story is just that, a story. But it is one full of truths, simple and complex, so it is only fitting that it concludes with one of the most important truths of all: you are loved.
Jacob Hunt, also known as, “otherpoet” is a poet based in Brooklyn, NY. His poetry seeks to break the boundaries of poetry and provide a place for every person to exist and breathe. He hopes that when you read his work, you feel a little less alone. This is his first book of poetry, published on December 13, 2021.

“That’s always been my favorite kind of art: the kind which lends itself to exploration. The Rocketman’s experience, printed like space matter floating in the negative white of these pages, is something like an invitation, and I was surprised – on many an occasion – to find myself inside his suit.” – Levi the Poet on shift

AK22-05 Laurel Anne Hill. A Plague of Flies.

January 31, 2022January 31, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Laurel Anne Hill, on air from February 1st

YA author Laurel Anne Hill. She will discuss her latest novel, Plague of Flies, which takes readers back in time to 1846 and the western section of Mexican Alta California, on a mystical fantasy adventure. Laurel Anne will talk about why it’s important for young adult readers (teens, aged 14 and up) to read fiction. She can also discuss how research into her Mexican heritage revealed a dark secret about her ancestors — those who were threatened to let go of their land, to make way for a new railroad.

Laurel Anne Hill recently released her third novel, Plague of Flies: Revolt of the Spirits, 1846. The YA historical fantasy tells the story of a 16-year-old Mexican girl, Catalina, and her fight for her country after American invaders declare war on Mexico.

Circumstances compel Catalina to protect all those she holds dear when American invaders, called the Bear Flaggers, declare that Mexican California belongs to the United States. Faced with the imprisonment and murders of her friends, Catalina relies on guidance from people and places more powerful than herself. Catalina risks her reputation, future with the man she loves, and, ultimately, her soul to prevent the calamity she fears.

Author Laurel Anne Hill is also known for her award-winning novel, The Engine Woman’s Light. Hill has received over thirteen awards and honors including a Kirkus Star and the Kirkus Top 100 Indie Books recognition.

Laurel says about her newest book, “My Mexican great-grandmother, as a teen in US California during the 1860s, recruited Mexican ex-patriots to return to their country of birth and rid Mexico of French soldiers. Her dedication, and that of my great-great-grandmother and many others, helped restore the Mexican Republic. How could this bit of family history not inspire me to create a character such as Catalina? A brave young woman in the 1840s who learns to believe the unbelievable and accomplish what only she is meant to do?”

About the author:

Laurel Anne Hill is an author and former underground storage tank operator. She grew up in San Francisco with more dreams of an adventure than good sense or money. Her close brushes with death, love of family, respect for honor, and belief in a higher power continue to influence her writing and her life.

Laurel has authored over 30 published short stories and two award-winning YA novels, including The Engine Woman’s Light, the gripping spirits-meet-steampunk, coming-of-age heroic journey of a young Latina in an alternate 19th Century California. The Engine Woman’s Light has won a total of 13 honors and awards, including a Kirkus Star. Sand Hill Review Press released Laurel’s latest YA novel, Plague of Flies: Revolt of the Spirits, 1846 on October 16th 2021.

AK22-02 Charlie Sheldon, Strong Hearts Ancient Wisdom pt2

January 10, 2022January 9, 2022Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

An Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Charles Sheldon, on air from January 8th

Charlie will be talking about the themes in his tales concerning the power and truth of the ancient legend, as well as our notion that people from long long ago somehow had less wisdom or insight than we do today – there seems to be a widely held view that humans before writing were somehow less sophisticated than we are. Really? We dive into his 3 books and what the common thread is in all of them.

I have always been a writer, always a hiker, trained as a wildlife biologist, living in the Pacific Northwest, a husband, father, grandfather, and friend. In my work life, I was a graduate student teacher, a commercial fisherman, a house painter, a fisheries consultant, a treasure hunter, then a planner, a construction manager, a project manager, even an executive for various seaports – for 28 years. During my years working for seaports, I was involved with several difficult environmental cleanups, including Superfund sites, and for many years I worked with local tribes negotiating fishing agreements between their salmon fishermen and harbor operations in Seattle. After I retired from port work at age 65 in 2012 I went back to sea as a merchant sailor, container ships and military reserve vessels, as a watchstander and able-bodied seaman, for four years, then quit for good to write these books about Olympic National Park, the Gulf of Alaska, a certain ornery young girl, and ancient history – I call it the Strong Heart Series.

Before writing my latest series of books I did years of research into human origins, archeology, geology, ice ages, and climate change to develop the foundation for my Strong Heart series of books, which ask the question: could the ancient legends of most First peoples of North America that they have always been here – always – be true? Along the way I have learned much about what we know, and how much more we do not know, plus a healthy dose of aversion to zealotry and people who are absolutely convinced they know what is best for the rest of us.

Charlie went to Yale University and UMass, where he received a Masters’s Degree in Wildlife Biology/Resource Management. He worked in the fishing industry for 15 years as a deckhand, mate, skipper, and consultant, then relocated to the Pacific Northwest in 1990 to be near Olympic National Park. He worked at seaports for nearly 30 years as a planner, project manager, and executive. When he retired from seaports in 2012 he returned to sea as a merchant sailor for four years, working on the various container and military vessels as Able Bodied Seaman and Bosun. He retired in 2016 to work full time at his writing. Nowadays he hikes in the Olympic National Park whenever he can, cooks for his wife, pesters his grandchildren and continues to scribble tales.
