Summary of my book. I used a pen name for this book to protect the guilty. I did not want a troubled veteran to go after him and thus get themself in trouble. The book is called, "Blood Fake - A Stolen Valor Story". This book is about a person who used a fake diagnosis of "PTSD" in his act of military heroism. He has used this story to manipulate, deceive, and control his targets (women) over the course of nearly 35 years. He estranges them from their families and then goes to work. I want people to be horrified by this story. I have three goals: 1) to educate the general public 2) to modify or add to the current Stolen Valor Act of 2013 to include cases like my sister's, and 3) to show how my Christian faith overcame my aggression and hatred through forgiveness. The story I am telling covers approximately 4 years of his life with my sister, but he has destroyed many families prior and is in the process of destroying another.  Though I would like to see accountability in this world I do know he will be held to account in the end. This book is not an easy read, but I ask you to pick up a copy of the book to help me make my sister's life matter. Please visit Authorhouse.com and get your copy from the bookstore for Blood Fake - A Stolen Valor Story.

My sister was one such woman. We were all from the same area and my brother and I were friends with his brothers. One had since past, but we remain friends with his surviving brother. He is also estranged from his brother. My sister killed herself in October of 2022. He simply broke her. He cheated on her, stole from her and used her to raise a couple of his children. He had no parenting skills and is suspected of child sexual abuse. After my sister's death he shows up at the viewing with his two daughters and a woman sits with them the entire evening. Turns out she's the new target. Within months they purchased a home and get married. He simply replaced my sister. This woman's sister reached out to me because "she heard things". Nearly all the things I mention in my book are proven through my sister's texts, emails, and police records.

A newly revised and updated edition of the #1 hit, now with new research, heart-healthy recipes, honey bee data, and home cures!

DISCOVER HONEY’S AMAZING BEE-HEALTHY POWERS

Did you know? . . .

Eating honey, Mother Nature’s ancient medicine, can still work its healing magic and help lower the risk of disease—adding quality and years to your life—at any age!

The buzz: Consumers are seeking healthy alternatives to refined sugar due to concerns about obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, the #1 killer.

Yes! Raw, unprocessed honey is more popular than ever before and is touted a “superfood” as it replaces unhealthy table sugar and artificial sweeteners—helping to combat the skyrocketing rise in chronic ailments and life-threatening diseases.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, beekeepers experienced a surge in demand for the disease-fighting, antioxidant-rich “apocalyptic food” widely believed to boost immune health.

Increasing threats to honey bees’ survival may harm the planet’s nourishing superfoods that you love to eat—such as fruits and nuts—that the honey bee pollinates.

Honey, known as Mother Nature’s “nectar of the gods,” is an ancient remedy noted in the Bible and used for centuries to quell a cough, soothe a sore throat, energize you, and even calm frazzled nerves due to stressors such as post-COVID-19 virus variants and climate change health effects.

Enjoy gripping and adventurous survival stories about honey bees and humans as well as fascinating reasons why the popularity of honey is soaring, Manuka honey medicinal uses are surging, and herbal flavored varietals are trending. You’ll also love new heart-healthy recipes with honey twists such as Whipped Ricotta Toast with Lemon Thyme Honey, Hot Honey Glazed Turkey Loaf, and Turmeric Honey Immunity Booster, plus buzzworthy home cures thanks to honey’s gifts (including super “bee foods” like propolis and royal jelly) from the hive!

Pitch: Haunted Happy Hour – Behind the Screams with Jack Bremen

What I wish to be interviewed about: I would love to pull back the curtain on indie filmmaking and share the chaotic, thrilling journey of bringing my latest feature film, Haunted Happy Hour, to life. As a filmmaker who works both in front of and behind the camera, I can give your audience a raw, authentic look at what it truly takes to write, direct, and produce independent cinema today. We can dive into the mechanics of visual storytelling, the evolution of modern horror/thriller genres, and how to maintain creative control in a fast-paced industry.

Why your audience will appreciate these insights: BBS Radio TV listeners are creators, deep-thinkers, and entrepreneurs who value authenticity and passion. Filmmaking isn't just about cameras; it's about problem-solving, resilience, and the universal human drive to tell stories. By sharing the real-world victories and hurdles of Haunted Happy Hour, I will give your audience practical, inspiring takeaways on how to turn a creative vision into a finished reality—regardless of their budget. Plus, everyone loves a good behind-the-scenes look at how movie magic (and suspense) is made!

The unique value I bring to your show: I bring a rare, 360-degree perspective to the conversation. Because my background spans the performing arts, media production, emerging technology, and marketing, I don't just speak "Hollywood"—I speak to the hustle. I can seamlessly pivot from the artistic side of directing actors to the technical side of modern production and the business strategy of indie film distribution. I am energetic, highly adaptable, and dedicated to delivering an entertaining, high-value conversation that will keep your listeners hooked from start to finish.

Evelyn Paul Announces New Book “Mindless As F*ck,” A Radical Reframe of Modern Spirituality and Real-Life Integration

Atlanta, GA / Global — May 1, 2026 — Holistic private chef and wellness advisor Evelyn Paul announces the upcoming release of her debut book, Mindless As F*ck, a raw, unfiltered exploration of spiritual awakening, identity disruption, and the challenge of translating transcendence into everyday life.

The book challenges what Paul describes as “performative spirituality,” a growing cultural trend that often prioritizes aesthetics, language, and identity over real-world application.

“This isn’t a book about escaping life,” Paul says. “It’s about learning how to function inside it, especially when everything you thought you knew about yourself changes.”

Paul’s journey began with a spontaneous out-of-body experience, often referred to in Eastern traditions as a Kundalini awakening, which fundamentally altered her perception of reality. Following this experience, she left her business and embarked on a multi-year period of travel and study across India, Greece, Asia, and the Caribbean in search of understanding and integration.

Unlike traditional spiritual memoirs, Paul’s work focuses less on the awakening itself and more on what comes after: rebuilding identity, maintaining emotional stability, and returning to everyday responsibilities while navigating expanded awareness.

Her professional background includes training at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City, Ayurvedic studies in Kerala, yoga and meditation training in Dharamsala, and shamanic studies in Bali. She has also worked as a private chef for high-profile clients, integrating her wellness philosophy into high-pressure, real-world environments.

Over time, Paul began developing practical tools based on her lived experience, methods for grounding, emotional regulation, self-trust, and navigating internal change while maintaining external responsibility. These tools form the foundation of her book.

Mindless As F*ck also explores:

The gap between spiritual language and lived reality The limits of modern self-help culture The tension between inner transformation and external responsibility

Rather than positioning spirituality as escape or elevation, Paul reframes it as something that must survive contact with real life, stress, relationships, work, illness, and change.

“This work is not about becoming someone new,” Paul explains. “It’s about remembering what you already are and learning how to function from that place in the real world.”

The book is published under Wise Tracks Publishing and will be released on May 1, 2026. Additional media assets, interviews, and excerpts will be made available upon request.

I’d love to introduce you to Evelyn Elphia, author of the upcoming book
Mindless As F*ck: The No BS Survival Guide to Inner Peace and Outer Power (May 1), a raw, funny, and culturally grounded take on inner peace that challenges a core idea in modern wellness: What if “mindfulness” is actually working against you?  Rooted in her St. Lucian background, where humor, honesty, and calling things out is second nature, Evelyn brings a voice to the wellness space that cuts through the performance and gets to what actually works.

 

Her work blends linguistic insight, neuroscience-informed practices, and lived experience to show how the way mindfulness is commonly taught may be sending the wrong signals to the nervous system, creating more mental noise instead of less. Built from real-life application while working in high-pressure environments, managing stress as a private chef and personal transformation while traveling, the book combines practical tools with humor, cultural commentary, and a voice that feels like truth-telling, not teaching. Her core message is simple: People don’t need more practices, they need ones that actually work when life gets real. Evelyn is available for interviews and long-form conversations where depth and honesty can exist in the same space.  
Glenna Hecht

COACH

What do you do when the person you love is still here—but the way you have always connected no longer works?

In How Old Are You Today? Dementia, A Mother, A Daughter, and The Game That Transformed Their Lives, Glenna Hecht shares the reality of caring for her mother through dementia—and the moment everything changed.

After trying to fix, explain, and correct what was happening, nothing worked. Conversations broke down. Logic created distance. Connection slipped.

Then one question shifted everything:
“How old are you?”

Her mother answered, “Guess.”
And a game began.

What followed wasn’t a cure. It was something more useful: a simple, repeatable way to connect when memory and logic no longer align.

This is not a clinical approach or a caregiving manual. It’s a lived experience that became a practical tool. One that changed their relationship and continues to help others do the same.

MEDIA ANGLES

A simple question became a repeatable way to connect with someone living with dementia. Dementia isn’t something you fix. It is something you face.  Connection versus correction: why trying to fix it often makes things worse.  What works when memory and logic no longer work. The moment caregiving shifts from trying to fix to learning how to relate differently.  What caregiving really looks like behind closed doors. Why “meet them where they are” is not enough unless you know how to do it. How one relationship changed when control was replaced with curiosity.  What this experience reveals about presence, attention, and how we show up for people.
United States

Glenna Hecht did not set out to write a book about dementia. She was trying to stay connected to her mother when everything that used to work stopped working.

Conversations broke down. Logic didn’t land. Trying to help often made things worse.

Then one question changed the dynamic: “How old are you?”
Her mother answered, “Guess.”
And instead of correcting or moving on, Glenna stayed inside the answer.

That moment became a game. The game became a daily ritual. And that ritual became a way to connect when memory and logic no longer aligned.

Before this, Glenna spent decades leading HR and training inside organizations including Starbucks and Levy Restaurants at Walt Disney World and later founded her own firm, Humanistic Consulting.

Her book, How Old Are You Today? Dementia, A Mother, A Daughter, and The Game That Transformed Their Lives, reflects that experience—direct, unpolished, and grounded in what works.

She speaks on leadership, the How Old Are You Today? game, and leads an HR consulting practice informed by what that experience revealed about leadership, presence, and judgment.
