Listen to Features as host Tilly Rivers speaks with author
Michelle M Pillow




Michelle M Pillow has always had an active imagination. Ever since she can remember, she's had a strange fascination with anything supernatural--ghosts, magical powers, and oh…vampires. What could be more alluring than being immortal, all-powerful, and eternally beautiful? After discovering historical romance novels in high school, it was only natural that the supernatural and romance elements should someday meet in her wonderland of a brain. She's glad they did, for their children have been pouring onto the computer screen ever since.She is married (madly in love) and has a wonderful family.Michelle would love to hear from you and tries to answer her emails in a timely fashion. That is if the current hero will let her go long enough to check the computer.

Upcoming Interview: July 29 2008
Midnight EST

Join Tilly Rivers on Tuesday July 29 2008 as she interviews Kara Elsberry- muti venue artist and writer. Kara will be joining Tilly at 12:10 AM- EST. ( Midnight)

http://kara.mosaicglobe.com

Kara Elsberry was born in Youngstown, OH in the late seventies. She has always found sanctuary in her art and has been drawing since she could pick up a crayon. In Kindergarten, when the class was asked to draw a picture of themselves, most of the other kids came up with stick figures. While the other kids were impatiently waiting for her to finish, Kara was painstakingly adding all the little details to her portrait; a pretty dress, shiny shoes, and a big beautiful bow in her bright red hair.

Throughout her school years Kara always excelled in art and took many independent courses outside of her regular classes. She graduated in ’97 and went on to college to study many courses in traditional and digital art, and even a few animation and 3d courses (she has a secret love of video and pc games…Shhh! Don’t tell!)

After many years of struggling with various jobs including one where she had to sell framed artwork door to door in subzero weather, she finally decided to set out on her own to pursue her dream of becoming a full-time artist. She designs everything from logos and T-Shirts, to business cards and book covers. Her favorite? The book covers by far!! Anything from children’s to romance and erotica, books are definitely the love of her artistic life.

Today, she has 2 beautiful children; Karessa 12 and Kyle 8 and lives in a small town in South Dakota where she runs her own successful freelance design business. She has won many artistic awards; most recently the 1st place Graphic Design award winner of the year and she has won several awards for best cover of the year.

If one were to search for Kara, all they would have to do is look in her office to see her working on her computer and digital art tablet, fiercely focused on her work at any and all hours of the day. (No peaking, that’s her pet peeve!!) J As often as she can, she escapes to her books (she has walls of them!) and other times she can be found in her garden with her children, planting yet another new specimen that she has discovered.

Among her artistic inspirations (other than her family and friends of course!) are Boris Vallejo, Clive Barker (yes, the author!), DaVinci, Dali, Luis Royo, Brian Froud…the list could go on and on! As for everyday inspiration, she says nature and fantasy inspire her the most. The exploration of dreams, the beauty of youth and innocence, mystery, the ‘unknown’, perseverance, stubbornness, magic, eroticism, sensuality…shall we continue? J

Kara is always looking for the next new and exciting adventure in life. She grew up with a family who adores books and thus has a very open minded and vivid imagination. She reads and daydreams of fairies and dragons, witches and vampires… without them all it would be a dull world indeed.

Featuring: Memphis Rain

June 20 2008

Interview begins at 11:10 PM EST


Join Tilly Rivers, Host of Features Radio as she interviews MEMPHIS RAIN- June 20 2008

Memphis Rain - the Country/Rock Duo consisting of singer/songwriter Barby Collins on lead vocals, with husband guitarist/songwriter/producer E.G. Collins, have been in the trenches of show business for several years, knocking out audiences with their rich harmonies, powerful self written songs, as well as doing their own renditions of songs from Stevie Nicks to Pat Benatar, and with the aggressive guitar works of E.G. Collins, Barby's deep lush vocals truly deliver the goods.
Of course, for years Barby Collins had been performing in countless stage musicals, from Rock to Country groups, with a longing for something more, which was to study the art of songwriting much more closely, and to create music and lyrics that are truly passionate, with substance of melody, not just 2-chord boredom. On that mark arrived session guitarist Eddie Collins, or E.G. Collins as he is known, who shared the same passion, and together they shared the same influences like Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Vince Gill, Don Henley, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland, Bon Jovi, among others.
Barby & E.G. Collins have always called Niagara Falls, Canada home but not for too much longer - it will be no surprise to see Memphis Rain become a fixture in Nashville, Tennessee's music scene. "We love this business far too much," says E.G. Collins. "To write emotion and lyric that people out there love hearing us perform is the most rewarding thing in the world, especially when people are singing the words to our songs along with us, I mean, that's just too much....what could be more fulfilling....it's just fantastic!"
So it's really no surprise - with a new CD out, and another hanging on the wall at Niagara's Hard Rock Cafe in honour of all their shows performed there, it's off to Music City, and then beyond. Memphis Rain's new album, '12 Hours To Midnight', is now available online at CD Baby .

Author Tilly Rivers is Immediate Release Media’s New Dining Out Food Critic.

Having an author and radio host as the food critic might not be so crazy after all!

(NY)- May 23, 2008- Tilly Rivers just may be a new breed of restaurant critic, a maverick whose face will accompany her weekly reviews, launching today.

“When I first thought of approaching Rivers with the idea of being the food critic for Immediate Release Media” says Senior Editor, Maud Rivers, “My first reaction was that everyone would think that we are related-the surname is completely coincidental, the second thought was that everyone would think I was crazy.”

“I am obviously trying to do something fresh and interesting," says Maud Rivers, the brains behind the new Media hub Immediate Release Media- the popular press release blog of book, music and food reviews, chef profiles and business and entertainment news.

“Tilly penned a wonderful mixture of food and pleasure in her release of Erotica CafĂ©- not to mention she is internationally known. Her author rank has reached celebrity status- and New Yorkers’ have a soft spot for her, as this is where her career really took off. In the words of Malcolm Gladwell’s “Tipping Point”- a #1 National Bestseller- “What makes someone a Connector? The first- and most obvious criterion is that Connectors know lots of people.” ”
Tilly is putting her face alongside her reviews, which are based on her own personal rating scale of one to five stars- and will be posted on http://immediatereleasemedia.blogspot.com/ every Thursday beginning today.

“I love food” says Tilly Rivers, “ I am not sure what qualifies one as an avid foodie- but I certainly know bad food when it hits my taste buds. The choice to have a photo along the review is going to be fun. I really do not think that critics in general should dine incognito-after all a restaurant is not going to bring in a celebrity chef or whip up a fresh menu just because a critic has come to eat at their establishment.”
Maud adds “If she receives preferential service- I am confident that Tilly will write about that as well- the rules are that she doesn’t make reservations under her own name or announce herself upon arrival.

“I am just like you.” Says Tilly, “If I am going for a light lunch- or a full course dinner, I want the same things everyone does- good food, good service, and good atmosphere.”
Tilly will be focusing on food reviews in her own backyard and throughout Ontario- until her tour this fall/winter 08-09 for her new book Forbidden Fruit, at that time she will continue to add her reviews for restaurants across Canada and the USA.
