Author and entrepreneur Loxley Brown discusses her Charms book series, teaching young people about dreaming big and taking action to make those dreams real.

Tom Epperson, the screenwriter behind One False Move—the cult classic crime thriller co-written with his childhood friend Billy Bob Thornton. He's the author of the Edgar-nominated The Kind One and the haunting noir Sailor. But today, Tom Epperson is here to talk about something entirely different.

His new book, Baby Hawk, is a bold, breathtaking departure: a novel in verse that fuses fable, feminism, and post-apocalyptic survival into a white-knuckle, heart-rending journey.

Set in a near-future world where one woman may be all that remains of her gender, Baby Hawk is both a gripping story of captivity and resistance and a lyrical meditation on ecological collapse and the raw brutality of power. It’s visceral. It’s visionary. And it’s unlike anything you’ve ever read.

Brian Cranley is a biomedical engineer turned theologian, whose new book The Call of Wonder invites readers to rediscover awe at the intersection of empirical discovery and spiritual truth. From the Big Bang to the human brain, from ancient wisdom to quantum theory, Cranley reveals how the mysteries of science may not oppose belief—but illuminate it.

Drawing on a rare blend of technical knowledge and theological insight, Cranley shares a deeply personal journey—one that asks not whether faith and reason can coexist, but whether they’ve been pointing to the same truth all along.

Whether you’re a lifelong believer, a committed skeptic, or someone searching for meaning in the beauty of nature and the cosmos, this conversation just might spark your own call to wonder.
