Marketing your children’s books on social media is EASY, and a great way to make money, right?
WRONG.
Not only is it hard to keep up with ever changing platform rules and algorithms, you’re also competing against celebrities … clips of super popular shows like the Office… really funny people making reels and tiktoks and apparently toddlers who do adorable things and have huge followings!

If you can never get enough true crime... Congratulations, you’ve found your people.
Ashley Lytton was a typical mom and wife in suburban Utah with three children until she discovered her husband’s horrifying secret. It was a shocking crime that would alter Ashley’s life and jeopardize the safety of her children. This season of Betrayal will focus on one mother’s fight to find justice for her daughter and protection from a predator too close to home. Once we hear her story, we learn the same crime is happening every day in households all over the country. It’s a betrayal of our families, communities and everything we value in society. Season Two lays the issue bare through the family’s story and takes an honest look at a huge problem most people don’t want to even want to acknowledge.
