ComicPop’s friend Rhonda Rees is back visiting. If you remember Rhonda is the owner of her own public relations company and when we last visited with her we talked about her book, Profit and Prosper with Public Relations, and her advocacy for Online Book Piracy.
In this visit Rhonda gives first hand accounts of her past year of upheaval by going through one of last years California fires and losing pretty much everything, to just recently riding out the earthquakes in California.
One never knows what life will throw at you, but Rhonda is talking everything in stride and adding the experiences to her life story. If you would like to assist Rhonda in any way you can use the Rhonda Rees Woolsey Fire Fund link below, set up by SPAWN (Small Publishers, Artists & Writers Network). Logan and I, and especially Rhonda, thank you and wishes you peace and calm in your life story.

Kat Holland is sharing with out listeners her single “The One”, through her YouTube channel. Kat is invoking a smooth rhythmic sound with this single. The instrumentals give it a flare of pop, but Kat’s vocals come across very smooth. Blending in the Jazz and Pop feel I really like and can’t wait to her what else she gives us to hear. Her EP Retrovision is scheduled for a March 22 drop so be sure to keep an eye out for it from you digital vendor of choice. Until then enjoy Kat Holland’s music video for her single “The One” – Richard:
What do you collect? We love collecting our collections of books, comics/manga, movies, toys, and trading card games. As a collector you would think a movie entitled The Collector would be great for us. It is a good fit for us, but in a different way than what you might expect. This “Collector” loves his horror and I have to admit we like our horror here as well. Join the ComicPop Crew as we discuss Marcus Dunstan’s feature horror film The Collector.
