The word "harvesting" arose.

20 APR 2024 · Sean BW Parker has been and around the arts his entire life. After spending 10 years in Turkey, he returned to England and opened a concert venue with a bed & breakfast planned. This was on the Southern coast of England. This venture lasted only a number of months. There was dissension within the investors. They faced regulatory, legal and neighbor problems. Did I mention the ghosts? Turns out, the place was haunted. Sean and others experienced sounds, slamming, thrown glasses, propelled wall clocks, and coordinated shutters and outdoor doors slamming on repeat. Parker is a self described skeptic and is the author of 9 books. The paranormal is not his jam. But it was his life.

16 APR 2024 · Don't fear my first words, this is Garden Views. My guest is Edo Van Belkhom has been a working writer. He's been compared to Stephen King. He won the Bram Stoker award once and was nominated another time. He's won the Canadian Aurora Award. There are others. he wrote erotica and stories for truckers supported by the trucking industry (yes, 2 different gigs). Some of his works were adapted for a television series starring Sarah Michelle Geller. He's almost been a household name more than once. Maybe he still will be. His compedium of short stories is being re-published to celebrate its 25 year anniversary. I started down the Doom road as I expected to focus on the horrors of his imagination. We touched on those of course. But the real tale was his. A writer, working and toiling, and having success in a variety of places, while just missing the big score.

From the business aspects, to SAG and the UK equivalent, to the employment status per project. But we also talk about comics, movies and pretty much everything. No, we never spoke or met before. Yes, we might be best friends now. Apologies to all, somehow the cyber gods did not allow us to use any version of the promised outro.

6 APR 2024 · If you took "True Blood", some of "American Gods", and tossed in some "Eternals", and shook them up in a snowglobe you purchased at Giza, you might get this book as the result. Yvonne Garcia Zaher wrote "The Annubis Chronicles" and Book One Origins is the first installment. There are gods, demigods, vampires, demons, werewolves (lots of werewolves), witches, shape shifters, elves, dark elves, star travellers, dragons, politics, criminals, cops, children of light, and crows. They all play parts in a story that starts with broken, dead bodies in the desert, but leads to prophecies that could end all supernaturals on Earth. Probably all magic. Maybe end humanity. Maybe end the gods themselves. It's a lot to unpack. Hear from the author.

30 MAR 2024 · They are said to have come from nowhere with a fully formed society, only to have disappeared into nowhere. They are the Atlantis of North America. The Egypt or Sumeria. They are mysterious, revered, and 100% confirmed as real. They are the Olmecs. The so called "Mother Culture" of Mezoamerica. Our friend, Robert Bitto, re-enters the Garden and separates fact from legend, what we know from what we don't, and what is with the giant head sculptures. This is no legend of the temple. But we do discuss legends and probably a temple or several.
