Cendrine MarrouatPublished 11 months ago in InterviewThis Queer Artist Demands to Be Seen and Heard
Talia Keys’ trademark fire and brimstone stage presence is an amalgam of her journey, identity, and musical influences. Growing up, she and her brother were raised by a single mother in Utah. Her dad struggled with addiction and his battles forced Talia to grow up sooner than typical kids her age. Still, she was gifted with a big imagination and whether she was pretending to be Michael Jordan or impersonating Elvis Presley, Talia could entertain herself for hours. She began piano lessons at age 9, drums at 11, guitar at 16 and mandolin at 22. Music was always very prevalent throughout her youth, beginning with The Beatles and turning to Bob Marley in middle school. Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and Talking Heads were some of the other artists that played a big role in her musical development. She even had a Kris Kross phase (and yes, she wore her clothes backwards for a time). It opened Talia up to rap and hip hop and she became a huge fan of Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees and Blackalicious.

Tai FrelighPublished 11 months ago in InterviewHis name is Yip — and it's one you won't forget
Paddy Crewe’s debut novel is set in northern Georgia and the mountains of Tennessee in the early years of the 19th century. My Name Is Yip is an adventure story, a tale of struggle against great odds, a paean to the power of friendship. Its narrator is unable to speak — and so he learns to communicate with slate and chalk. “My name is Yip Tolroy & I am a mute,” his account begins. “I have made not a sound since the day of my birth, October 2nd, 1815. I will say that my life has been something of a trial but such is God’s wish & so I must tell my story here on the page.”

Angela RosePublished about a year ago in InterviewWilliam Shaw On A Life In Crime
When I talk to crime novelist William Shaw, he is alone in his writing shack in Devon, on the English coast. It's an off-grid, wooden building close to the sea but even closer to railway tracks, which is why he bought it so cheaply 30 years ago. "It was going for virtually nothing, because Network Rail have the rights to demolish it with no notice," he explains. "That put people off!"
Sheryl GarrattPublished about a year ago in InterviewHonoring Betty White: With Love from a Fan
Hearing the sad news of Betty White's passing led to a "No," escaping my lips. It had to be a hoax. To all our dismay, it was not. My heart was saddened. I admired her work and remembered my mother, who has long since passed as well-loved her. Through my mother, I was introduced to the fantastic work of Betty White. Maybe that is why her passing touched my heart so much. I have fond memories of watching her with my mom on games shows like 1,000 Dollar Pyramid, Bob Hope Specials, reruns of the Carol Burnett Show where she guest-starred on the skit titled "The Family," playing Mama's (Viki Lawrence) uppity daughter Ellen Harper which then spun off onto its show the ever-popular "Mama's Family" in which she made a guest appearance on too.
