About this ebook

Melissa Tyler, who had just inherited incredible wealth, came to the Harden Detective Agency claiming she needed protection from crank letters and any possible trouble involving her family. This was a vast understatement of the situation as Margot, the poised young woman from Harden's, learned when she returned with Melissa to a languorous South Carolina town.

In a town dominated by conservative old families, Mrs. Tyler's husband was unique. A former carnival knife thrower covered with tattoos, he presented a fantastic social problem. To make things more desperate, his daughter -- on the verge of a concert debut --jilted one of the town’s favorite sons...and showed marked interest in a handsome, somewhat sinister, newcomer.

The situation became literally deadly when the body of a murdered man was found in the driveway of the Tyler home -- and what had been scandal grew into horror!

303 - Afraid Your Creativity is Stunted? Maybe The Answer Isn't In The Work with Cymone Wilder: I’m starting to see a new pattern in creative breakthrough. We all know you gotta put in the time to learn your craft, but what’s the gap between being technically proficient and really truly finding yourself creatively? I think the secret is finding yourself personally. Today on the show we have designer and lettering artist Cymone Wilder. I wanted to have Cymone on the show not only because her work is fantastic, but also because as I started to see her work pop up everywhere, I also noticed that it was on the back of a personal journey. I wanted to see what the catalyst of this journey really was for Cymone and her answers did not disappoint!! This episode is a moving personal story mixed with talking shop and creative mechanics that I’m sure will bring a lot of pep to your step!
