Can you be too careful? Um…no. Not in this business.
This started out as a Facebook post, but it grew and grew to the point that I realized it would be better handled as a blog entry/article. So here you go! Over the weekend, a close friend of my family texted me to ask me about a potential agent that had reached out to her via Facebook. This girl is like a daughter to me and she knows how much I care about her, so protective mode kicked in. Where did you hear of this guy? Who recommended him? What’s he offering? The answers were a bit murky. All she had for me was his name, a link to his…

Review: Black Widow: Forever Red by Margaret Stohl
Black Widow: Forever Red by Margaret Stohl Genre: YA Publisher: Marvel Press Date: Will release October 13, 2015 Natasha Romanoff is the living, breathing definition of lethal. Raised in a program designed to turn children into weapons, she has never known family or understood a normal child’s life. Ivan made her that way. Years later, as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., she uses her exceptional skills to make the world a better, safer place. Removing Ivan from the equation is a mission she has no intention of failing.

Those Oregon Bakers….
Here’s a question. Is it possible to love people and still turn them down? I think if you’re a parent, you can answer that question. We can’t give our kids everything they want. We could, but if we did that, what sort of adults would they grow to be? Now obviously, someone in business and refusing a service is far different than parenting. But at least one of those questions above still applies. Can I love someone and still turn them down? Let’s see. A few years ago, I was approached to market a project by some people who very much wanted me doing their PR/Marketing. They’d heard about some…

Review: Grace Unplugged – The Movie
Gracie Trey is 18 and only sure of one thing. She wants to sing. She loves music. It’s a part of her soul. That would probably come from the fact that her father is a musician as well. A long time ago, he had a hit song that made the top of the charts and he was amazing. Then he accepted Christ and took his singing talent in a different direction. He’s now the leader of praise and worship at his church and Gracie sings with him. But that’s not what she wants to do. Gracie wants to break out and find her own path but her dad is pretty…

Grace Unplugged in Theaters Friday!
Over the past week or so you’ve seen a lot about Grace Unplugged here on my site. It’s because I loved the book and I can’t wait for the movie. (It comes out tomorrow in theaters!) I would encourage you to visit the website and check out the trailer for this amazing story. This is about a young girl who gets pulled into the music industry and struggles with her values, her family, and what the industry is trying to do with her. As someone who works regularly in the entertainment industry, this isn’t far off of the mark. There’s always peer pressure out there. Get into the entertainment industry…

Morning Sex? (warning: graphic image) | Rebeca Seitz’s Blog
Rebeca Seitz is a friend of mine. She is the owner of Glass Road Media Management. Throughout her career, Rebeca has done publicity for authors, films and other entertainment outlets and now she’s managing authors, creating content and working across platforms to maximize the message. As long as I’ve known her, she’s always wanted to change entertainment for the better. Recently, when she and her 8 year old son were watching Good Morning America, Rebeca’s platform took a very unique turn. “I understand we’ve ceded the idea of morality in primetime. A moronic move, but one we (and by “we” I mean Jesus-following folk) have to own. But this wasn’t…
