    About Hollywood Hustle

    Winston Greene, a has-been film star, wakes one morning to find his six-year-old granddaughter at his bedside—traumatized, unattended, and gripping onto a thumb drive. She comes bearing video proof that her mother, Win’s troubled adult daughter, has been kidnapped by a murderous gang demanding all his “movie money” for her safe return. But what they don’t know is…his movie money is long gone.

    If you haven’t listened yet to Ronni Sanlo and Kelly Watson’s LGBTQ History Alive podcast, fasten your headphones!

    LGBTQ History Alive with Ronni and Kelly

    “LGBTQ+ people have a long rich history. It offers hidden stories that we never learned in school, and it acknowledges that the LGBTQ+ community is far more diverse than we ever imagined! Our sheros, heroes and they-roes call us to remember. Dr. Ronni Sanlo and Dr. Kelly Watson share the history with guests who’ve made that history happen. Join us each Monday where LGBTQ+ History is ALIVE! Courses and books may be banned in other places but not here. Our history will NOT be hidden, not with us two old lesbians on guard!

    Meet the two old lesbians – us!

    Ronni Sanlo , Ed.D., is a retired UCLA professor and LGBTQ Center director, founder of the award-winning Lavender Graduation, and editor of the four volume This Day in LGBTQ History. Kelly Watson, Ph.D, DDS, is a retired recovery center director and business professional, and still and always involved with 12 step recovery.”

    Cat Talk Radio with Molly DeVoss and Co-Host Dewey: Adopting Hoarding Cats

    July 7, 2022 /

    This episode of Cat Talk Radio hits close to home: I met certified cat behaviorist Molly DeVoss when we adopted our cat Wilma, who came from a hoarder home. Three years old at the time, Wilma had some behavioral issues, and a friend suggested I reach out to Molly in Dallas. I did, and her advice was spot on. Wilma was soon a vital part of our home, and I couldn’t thank Molly enough for helping us ease out little cat into a new, loving, non-hoarder world. CLICK TO LISTEN TO THE EPISODE.
