By: Quinn Delaney John “JR” Robinson, often regarded as one of the most recorded drummers in history, has spent over five decades shaping the soundscape of modern music. With his autobiography, King of the Groove, Robinson offers an intimate look into his journey from a small-town boy in Iowa to a globally recognized rhythm icon. The book is not just a chronicle of his musical milestones but also a reflection on the mentors, philosophies, and the persistent drive that have shaped his career. Foundations of Rhythm: Mentors Who Molded the Maestro Robinson’s rhythmic journey has been strongly influenced by his parents. His father, John Herbert Robinson, instilled in him the values of perseverance and self-reliance, often reminding him, “Don’t wait for someone else to make your path easier. Work for what you want and show up ready.” This foundational ethos was further enhanced when Robinson encountered Ed Soph at a
By: Eric Lorne Ben “Doc” Askins doesn’t just write books—he shakes them up. Anti-Hero’s Journey: The Zero With a Thousand Faces is a 150-page psychedelic simulator wrapped in satire, stitched with existential dread, and seasoned with absurdity. Yet, for all its chaos, it reads with a surprising coherence—a philosophical joyride that is as sharp as it is hilarious. A former combat medic and clinician, Askins is direct about who he is, what he’s seen, and what this book is meant to accomplish. It’s not designed to simply entertain or inspire. It’s here to challenge you. Walking the Tightrope Between Absurdity and Awakening Askins acknowledges there wasn’t a clear effort to balance profundity with humor. For him, they aren’t opposites; they are two sides of the same coin. “Every single thing you think is so profound right now will likely seem completely absurd to you someday… if you’re fortunate,” he reflects.
By: Alva Ree Iryna arrived in America with a suitcase, a child, and a heart full of fear—and she turned that fear into fuel. Today, Iryna Kovalova is a transformational coach, breathwork guide, and motivational force for women going through life’s hardest transitions. In this candid and inspiring interview, Iryna shares her journey from uncertainty to empowerment—and why she’s stepping onto the Ms World America stage to prove that it’s never too late to rise. Q: Iryna, tell us about that first moment of change—when everything familiar disappeared. Iryna Kovalova: I still remember the smell of the airport—coffee foam, strangers’ perfume… and freedom. But not the kind of freedom that’s light and joyful. It was the kind that shakes you to your core. When I landed in the U.S., I didn’t know what would happen next. I just knew one thing: there was no going back. And that’s terrifying. People

By: Carmen Ellis When history forgets, Harrison Klein remembers—and in Badass Bitches of History: 31 Unconventional, Strong, Defiant Women Who Changed The World, he makes sure the world does too. This audacious, unapologetic book—set for release in April 2025—is both a searing retort to patriarchal storytelling and a rallying call for anyone seeking courage, clarity, and rebellion in the face of systemic limitation.

These are not tales of passive inspiration but of bold action. From Cleopatra’s diplomatic genius to revolutionaries erased by colonial history, this is a book that doesn’t just add women to the historical record—it flips the record entirely. Reclaiming a Weaponized Word The provocative title, Badass Bitches of History, is no accident. For Klein, the word “bitch”

This daily ritual, brought to Miami by Cuban exiles after the 1959 revolution, became a way to preserve cultural heritage and foster community in a new land.

By: Erica McCartney In an age of constant noise and urgency, Róisín Sorahan’s Time and the Tree offers a refreshing shift—a quiet, stirring experience, drawing readers into an ancient forest. This genre-defying novel unfolds in a surreal woodland where time bends, seasons transform, and characters grapple with the invisible forces that shape their lives. It serves as a meditation on presence, choice, and the stories we carry—and encourages us to slow down enough to hear our own voices. At its heart is a conversation between a boy and a wise old Tree. The Tree, rooted yet ever-reaching, offers stillness that gently contrasts with the chaos of the world around them. As the seasons turn, a cast of unexpected visitors—a warrior, a stranger, a child clutching secrets—pass through the forest on their own quiet journeys. Each is faced with questions of compassion, regret, fear, and hope, all while navigating a world
By: Natalie Blake In a culture often focused on external achievements and quick fixes, Christina Nylese’s Self-Love, Self-Healing: Using the Mind and Body to Get Unstuck, Heal Old Wounds, and Live Abundantly arrives as a deeply meaningful and heartfelt roadmap for anyone seeking to reclaim their life from pain, addiction, or self-doubt. Released in April 2025, the book offers a perspective that goes beyond typical self-help manuals, blending personal memoir, spiritual insight, and practical guidance into an integrative approach to healing. A Journey Begun in Unexpected Places Christina’s path to healing was not always quick or straightforward. From addiction and perfectionism to codependency, her story reflects the gradual erosion of identity that many may experience before reaching a turning point. “Rock bottom wasn’t one dramatic moment,” she explains. “It was a slow erosion of my identity until I had to choose: survive or self-destruct.” Her last drink came not from
Growing up between two or more worlds is rarely easy, especially in the contemporary milieu, when polarization and the ever-present need to pick a side remain at an all-time high. For immigrants and Diasporans, this false dichotomy fallacy is even more pronounced: the socio-cultural divide between where they’re coming from, and where they are presently can feel like a chasm; a liminal space lined with identity crisis, code-switching, economic struggle, feelings of otherness, and a quiet, often repressed self-doubt and inadequacy. But what if that very tension held the key to success? What if, like Ryan Holiday asserts, ‘the obstacle is indeed the way?’ And, rather than adversarial relations to this phenomenon that leaves us exhausted, confused, and burnt out, what if we developed better and healthier strategies that transform this unnecessary strain into allyship, better living, more robust mental and physical health, less overall stress, and palpably improved well-being?
By: Sophie Winters Writing Young Adult (YA) fiction requires a particular skill set, distinct from that of adult thrillers or other genres. As Lee Matthew Goldberg notes, writing for teens involves a unique set of responsibilities and considerations that are important for connecting with the target audience. In his latest work, Miles in Time, Goldberg takes on the challenge of crafting a compelling YA time-travel mystery that blends adventure with deeper emotional and personal growth. His approach to writing a YA novel is grounded in a thoughtful understanding of the genre and the age group he aims to reach. The Importance of Audience One of the first things Goldberg emphasizes when it comes to writing YA is the importance of understanding the audience. While adults do enjoy YA fiction, the primary readers are teens—impressionable, curious, and still in the process of discovering themselves. This reality influences every aspect of the
