Pattersby Presents: Lovemakers with Cora Cuba
Wednesday Dec 13, 2023
Wednesday Dec 13, 2023
Today in the feed we are thrilled to share an episode of "Love Makers" hosted by Cora Cuba.
Cora is an Authoress, Witch, Proud Mom and Counselor to Love Makers Worldwide.
(full disclosure: Cora and I were in the same cult for about a month's time before both realizing it wasn't for us. Following that we were roommates for almost a year, she helped me get an interview at H&R Block and I made it to the next round but did not continue further that tax season).
Suffice to say Cora is an amazing lifecoach!
(containts sexual themes and frank discussion of family strife)

The P-Files: TIME FOR A STORY RECAP
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Monday Jun 03, 2024
Ahead of the upcoming release of Chapter 4: Part II this week, let's catch up with what's happened so far in the story.
Probably the most important thing to know is that Ryan wrote an ORIGINAL manuscript with mature tech themes set against the backdrop of Y2K titled "Overclock" that is not stolen.
Ryan's enterprising agent J. Jordan St. Avalon thinks "Overclock" might have legs and is currently reading it to see if Ryan deserves an invite back to the industry.
Ryan did not steal this idea from Lydia Graumann, the Head of the Luke Pattersby Official Fan Club. He read her manuscript (which she forgot to put her name on) but it reminded him of a desk-drawer novel he had already written that had a few *barely* similar details.
Did you know we are selling shirts: https://www.patterspod.com/
Y2K was a big event that affected many and we are still studying its effect on society.
Let's see what else? Ryan was shown a mysterious mansion owned by Tawny Gatherbrook - leader of The Children of the Thrill, the shadowy group of authors tacitly responsible for the disappearance of Luke Pattersby and the last person to see him alive Fiona Caruso.
Monomyth Publishing sponsors this group and it's fair to say that as far as this investigation goes, we haven't heard the last of this organization.
