Welcome To The Couch With Children's Author Talona Coleman
in Books
Join Talona Coleman on Thursday, March 16, @ 6:00 PM to learn about Heaven Sent Child Care and the services that they offer. Talona is also a published author and we will be discussing her new book that teaches children about acceptance, I Am Important. The Dial-in number is 657-383-1206
I Am Important was written to empower, inspire, encourage, and to offer hope to children of all ages. It resonates with the message of the importance of acceptance of self as well as others. We each were created differently; which makes us unique and important! God has perfectly designed each of us with purpose and illuminates beauty and creativity within all. We are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:13-14). It is a reminder to all children that they can do anything, and become whoever they want to be (Philippians 4:13). This book teaches that as we learn to love ourselves, we can willingly express and show love, empathy, and compassion to others in spite of our differences. It also conveys that when we accept one another; we have made the choice to demonstrate love; and Jesus Christ is glorified! This is a vivid reminder that Jesus will always love us because he is the Creator of us and our diversity!

Brown Posey Press Special: The Authors & Friends of Cleveland Concoction
in Books
Conventions, large and small bring together creatives and fans like nothing else. Returning to Aurora, Ohio after a two-year absence due to the pandemic, Cleveland Concoction, aka CleCon, assembled authors, creators, cosplayers, gamers, and performers that crossed all boundaries and provided three days of entertainment, education, and fun.
BPP Show host Tory Gates made his second appearance at CleCon, and while promoting his books, including all three volumes of the Sweet Dreams Series, was able to speak with many of his fellows about their work, their influences and inspirations, and just why they do it.
These brief, shoot-style interviews include former guests such as Olivia Berrier, Jason Lady and Marcus Cook. We also hear from Vik K. Walker, Weston Kincade, Marcus Calvert, and musical guests Camille and Kennerly, also known as The Harp Twins.
The purpose of this program is to take you inside the convention, give you an idea of the activity, and also show that no matter what an artist practices, the ways and means are different for each person. We hope you will find a new friend to read or listen to through this program, and as we all hope, you come along on our journey.
Check out www.clevelandconcoction.org for updates, and what's coming in 2024!
