Lisa Michaud, an American expat now living in France, is enjoying the sweet spot where music and writing intersect. She has published her second novel, Somewhere in Hollywood, a semi-autobiographical story of a young woman navigating life and love in Los Angeles. Like her protagonist, Lisa marches to the tunes of many drummers, guitarists and singers with an eclectic taste in music and an insightful writing style. Music may well be in her genes as evidenced by a quirky 1968 album featuring her entire family and pianist Chick Corea before he became one of the most celebrated jazz musicians of o…

As a 6-year-old boy, Matt Campbell had a stuttering problem. His mom thought that the local community theater might give him more confidence. It did, and after just a few years his stutter was gone. He'd come out of his shell and he was acting in one local play after another. By age 14, he'd acted in 33 shows. Today, at age 30, Matt is a full-time actor who has appeared in many commercials, TV shows, movies and music videos. His dream was to create a movie based on a wild weekend he had in Las Vegas with several of his friends. He wrote a screenplay which he adapted to a novel, Sinis…

Jeffrey Ashkin's first novel, The Second Life of Jonathan Sendel, begins with a bewildered man who discovers he is a clone and is charged with finding the killer of his original self. As he and his assigned police officer dig into the case, he comes to a disturbing realization--the real Jonathan Sendel was not a solid citizen. The story begs the question, are we happy with the person we project to the world, or do we wish we could have a do-over? My conversation with Jeffrey who, in addition to being an author, actor and film maker also teaches public school, explores the inspiration of …

The Dinicola family of Scotch Plains, New Jersey is used to having lots of dogs around. They provide a foster home for dogs awaiting adoption, a specialized commitment that requires patience and a love of animals. One particular dog was a hard sell because of his skittish personality.

Their story is immortalized in the children's book Jordan and the Fosters, written and published by dad Joe Dinicola and illustrated with the help of AI.
