    Garden of Thought E.303 Dragonriders & Brax
    Jul 6 2025
    Arthur Slade was raised in the Cypress Hills of southwest Saskatchewan (on a ranch). He wasn’t
    raised by wolves. It was elves. And one grumpy dwarf. He began writing at an early age. It took
    a few years but he is now the author of more than thirty novels, including Dust (which won the
    Governor General’s award), Dragon Assassin, and The Hunchback Assignments. He currently
    lives in the mythical city of Saskatoon and does all of his writing on a treadmill desk while he
    listens to heavy metal. Really. It’s true.

    Find him online at arthurslade.com.

    Governor General’s Award-winning author Arthur Slade’s latest novel continues his popular
    Dragon Assassin series—and this time, Brax, the dragon, gets to tell his own tale!
    I, Brax: 1. A Battle Divine, the just-released new novel
    by award-winning Saskatchewan author Arthur Slade,
    continues his popular Dragon Assassin series with a
    twist, giving the narrator spot to the wisecracking
    dragon Brax.
    Published by Shadowpaw Press in print, the book will
    be launched online on November 15 at 1 p.m.
    Eastern, with author Marty Chan acting as master of
    ceremonies. This madcap Zoom event is for
    individuals, schools, and, well anyone who likes
    middle grade/YA fantasy and snarky dragons:

    Garden of Thought E.302 Small Business Law
    Jul 2 2025
    Hillary Johns is a business and trial litigator. Her offices are in Beverly Hills, San Francisco and New York. So, you know she's not messing around. But she's also an attorney that spends a lot of time with new and small businesses.

    We discuss what a new businessperson should consider. What is necessary. What is good to seriously consider. And what are warning signs and items people routinely ignore...until it's too late. If I did this show solo, it would have been 85% identical on substance. But it's better if you don;t hear it from me, but a guest. Of course, this show is not legal advice and is for entertainment and informational purposes only. You should always talk to your own independent counsel.

    Anyway, what do we have to say to you potential to mid-experienced businesspeople? Hit play.

  • Garden of Thought E.301 The Silence

    Garden of Thought E.301 The Silence
    Jun 29 2025
    The Sun Runners, the latest young adult/new adult
    science fiction novel from Aurora Award-winning author
    James Bow (Icarus Down), comes out November 12 from
    Shadowpaw Press—alongside Tales from the Silence, and
    exciting collection of short fiction by a diverse group of
    notable authors set in the same future, releasing from
    Shadowpaw Press imprint Endless Sky Books.
    In Bows’s detailed future setting, Earth’s civilization,
    overwhelmed by environmental catastrophe and war, all
    but collapses. To the far-flung residents of colonies on
    Mars, Venus, Mercury and in the Asteroid Belt, it’s the
    falling of the Silence, and in its wake, they must struggle
    to survive.
    The Sun Runners is set on Mercury, where cities on rails
    constantly move around the planet ahead of the deadly
    sunrise. Tales from the Silence tells stories from all over
    the solar system, including on Earth itself, that trace the
    fallout from Earth’s collapse.
    “I’m delighted to have The Sun Runners out in the wild
    after years of work,” James Bow says. “Shadowpaw Press
    has really given their best to this book, and I hope it
    makes a good connection with readers. Tales from the
    Silence was extremely fun to put together, thanks to the
    energy of the contributing authors. I’m grateful they
    accepted my invitation to play in my sandbox, and I am
    especially grateful for their contributions to my universe.
    Thanks to Shadowpaw’s Endless Sky Imprint for making
    this companion anthology a reality.”
    “I’m thrilled to be publishing both of these great science
    fiction titles,” says Edward Willett, publisher of
    Shadowpaw Press. “James’s detailed future world was a
    joy to immerse myself in through both The Sun Runners
    and Tales from the Silence, and I can’t wait to share that
    joy with readers.”

    James Bow writes science fiction and fantasy for both kids and adults. He’s been a fan of
    science fiction since his family introduced him to Doctor Who on TV Ontario in 1978, and his
    mother read him classic sci-fi and fantasy from such authors as Clifford Simak and J.R.R. Tolkien.
    James won the 2017 Prix Aurora Award for best YA Novel in Canada for Icarus Down.
    By day, James is a communications officer for a charitable land trust protecting lands from
    development in Waterloo Region and Wellington County. He also loves trains and streetcars.
    He lives in Kitchener, Ontario, with his two kids, and his spouse/fellow writer/partner-in-crime,
    Erin Bow. You can find him online at jamesbow.ca.

  • GoT Gospel of Thomas Alex Kane the Suplex Assassin & Bestie

    GoT Gospel of Thomas Alex Kane the Suplex Assassin & Bestie
    Jun 12 2025
    We're joined by Alex Kane just days after he became a free agent. So, we do talk about intra-wrestling business items related to that status. How it feel? How does a talent approach free agency?

    Being Thomas' stable mate for years, they have a lot of chatting to do. Bomaye remains for the people.

    What makes a top guy? Is being once ranked the 25th best wrestler in the world count? Does being a former champion of a major promotion increase one's value? How does one fix their rates or is it more reactive? We discuss these items and more.

    We also chat about non wrestling topics. From nonsense to political theory (Kane is a political thinker), We also tackle Tip Culture and GoFundMes.
