We chat with photographer; Michael Strider on the LifeAfter Project!

Chatting With Sherri chats with photographer; Michael Strider about the LifeAfter Project ! 
Shortly after high school Michael Strider purchased his first professional camera. Eager to hone his craft, he photographed everything he could, ranging from models and architecture, to his dog, Randy. However, after sneaking his camera into a concert he quickly discovered his real passion was photographing Rock Stars.
Since that time Michael has worked with nearly every Rock Star on Earth. He’s expanded his portfolio to include actors, supermodels, world leaders and the occasional female wrestler. 
On September 9, 2006, while having dinner with his friends, Michael received a call that would change his life forever. One of his best friends committed suicide by gunshot. His name was Matthew. Devastated, Michael blamed himself for not seeing the problem Matthew had been living with. He had no idea Matthew was suffering from Bi-Polar Disorder.
After years of research and very detailed planning, Michael created the LifeAfter project to help those suffering from similar suicidal tendencies. LifeAfter – Visions of Hope is a coffee table book of celebrities that are advocates of suicide prevention. The phrase LifeAfter means there is life after any issue that someone may feel that makes him or her question their very being. Every problem passes, no matter how enormous it may seem.
The LifeAfter Project will spread awareness throughout our nation and throughout the world. His charity auction; https://www.charitybuzz.com/support/lifeafterproject

Chatting With Sherri welcomes talented author; Nicholas Diak!

Chatting With Sherri welcomes talented author; Nicholas Diak! 
I used to attend the Popular Culture/American Culture Association conference were I presented on Italian genre films however, I quit doing that when I co-founded with Michele Brittany the Ann Radcliffe Academic Conference which focuses on horror studies.
-My first book was on peplum and sword and sandal films of the 90s and beyond, such as Xena and Gladiator.  My most recent published essay is about synthwave and the the music of Stranger Things.  Currently co-editing a book with Michele Brittany about horror literature.
- If I had a goal in my writing, it's to explore topics at the borders of pop culture that have not really been written about or explored before. I like taking the off beat path to understand things. I like exploring the derivatives, the knock offs, the copy cats of culture phenomenon. I like exploring the connectivity of how things influence each other and ultimately like to offer critical re-assessment to things once disregarded. I'd like to be considered one of the first to explore something so futurue scholarship can happen and my work could be foundational.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes author Hend Salah about Dig Two Graves?!
Hend Salah is a New York born, horror loving, mental health counseling, loud-mouthed mass of contradictions.  She has a cornucopia of sensibly insensible, controversial opinions, and is allergic to romance. She loves putting a dark twist on a good argument. Bad things are funny. 
“She was sitting on a cold concrete floor, gagged, bound, and blinded. Nothing but a stale silence encompassed her. A putrid smell emanated from something to her left, sending her into a fit of coughs. It was so strong that she could almost taste it. It filled her mouth and nose, feeding her senses a disgusting smell created by something — or someone — that had been left alone to rot. She imagined a corpse sprawled just beyond her feet. It’s face having decayed so intensely that facial features were no longer visible; wounds festering soundlessly as insects found refuge inside them: skin hanging off its feet and toes with mutilated nails; skull crushed almost entirely, neither discernible as male nor female.”

Chatting With Sherri welcomes author and playwright; Gregg Oppenheimer!

 Chatting With Sherri welcomes author and playwright; Gregg Oppenheimer! Gregg is the son of “I Love Lucy” creator-producer-head writer Jess Oppenheimer.  He got his start in comedy at the tender age of four, when his father introduced him to Lucille Ball on the set of “I Love Lucy.” Kneeling down, a smiling Lucy asked Gregg, “Where did you get those big brown eyes?” Gregg's deadpan reply: "They came with the face." Lucy nearly fell over laughing.
And now Gregg has written a new play. Sarah Drew (Grey’s Anatomy) and Oscar Nuñez (The Office) will portray Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in the world premiere of I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom. Five performances will take place July 12 through July 15 at the James Bridges Theater, located on the campus of UCLA, To purchase tickets, call L.A. Theatre Works at 310-827-0889 or go to www.latw.org.
“This is a comedy about the comedy business,” he says. “It’s a true story, but sometimes it almost feels like an episode of I Love Lucy itself.”
In 1996, he left a successful career as partner in the international law firm O'Melveny & Myers in order to complete his late father's humorous memoir, “Laughs, Luck...and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time,” which was published by Syracuse University Press. That book, which went through eight printings, From 2000 to 2007, he produced the award-winning “I Love Lucy” DVD Series for CBS and Paramount.
