Robert Joseph Ahola
My next guest is an author, screenwriter, playwright, producer and director. He is the CEO of Galahad Films and has written and/or produced an amazing 300+ films, commercials and documentaries.
Whilst he has made appearances in front of the camera, he is probably best known as one of the entertainment industry’s back stage icons. He has filmed across seventeen foreign countries and lived in five. He speaks four languages and describes himself as a Catholic-Zen Buddhist, a belief system, which he says would take about six hours and a couple of bottles of wine for him to explain.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honour and privilege to soon welcome this modest and quick witted icon as he graces us with his presence on the pages of Simons 10 Q Interviews…
Of course, I speak of Robert Joseph Ahola, the CEO of Galahad Films…
But it’s not all about filming, Robert is an environmentalist and animal rights activist, and in his spare time, whilst not pursuing his passion for all things rugby, Robert has amassed author and/or co-authorship of fourteen published books including; The Silent Healer
, The Return of the Hummingbird Wizard
, I, Dragon
, and Delusion is Good
. He recently added a short tongue in cheek story Death By Helium
to the ever growing and non exhaustive list of publications.
Robert is also a Board Member of the Malibu Stage Company, a member of SAG/AFTRA and The Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights (ALAP). During his career he has also won Three Clio Awards.
But since the launch of his website and blog, his self confessed obsession with privacy has been somewhat eroded, and he has slowly entered more frequently into the public eye in recent years, perhaps as a form of preparation, for the inevitable and pivotal role he is now faced with, as the star guest and interviewee in the upcoming Simons 10 Q Interview.
Yes, I am both delighted and humbled that Robert Joseph Ahola, the giant, amidst a gruelling working schedule consisting of a number of on going productions, has juggled his time to run the gauntlet and come blogging with me on Simons 10 Q Interviews.

Dana Delamar – Author
Her current labor of love is broken down into five-parts; Blood and Honor, four novels and a prequel….and it’s clear to those thousands of readers already hooked on the series that when my next guest announces a piece of work as a labor of love, we’re all going to want to read about it.
There’s a prequel to the Blood and Honor series which can currently be download on kindle for free. Malavita is what sets the scene for the series. A story about the Calabrian Mafia, today the most powerful and wealthy crime syndicate in Italy, if not the world.
The first book in the series; Revenge was a double-finalist in the 2013 Booksellers Best Awards (Best First Book and Best Romantic Suspense categories), a Romance Reviews Top Pick, Bestseller in its genre on amazon and Bestseller and Top Rated Book at All Romance eBooks….
Her second book in the series; Retribution has joined the first on the Amazon Bestseller in Genre rankings and is a Top Rated Book at All Romance eBooks. It also was a Semi-finalist in the Romance category for The Kindle Book Review’s 2013 Best Indie Book Awards….
My guest of course is Dana Delamar, the author of the Blood and Honor
romantic suspense series, set in Italy among the Calabrian Mafia.
Of course she wouldn’t be great unless she was also modest, and that is one of the key characteristic that I regularly find separates the wheat from the chaff in terms of writers…
She is all of the above and Dana Delamar has now agreed to take the challenge and pit herself against the gauntlet that is Simons 10 Q Interview… Coming Soon.
If you are unable to contain yourselves until the interview is done, then why not follow the links below and get ahead by reading one of Dana’s incredible Romantic Thrillers;
Malavita (Blood and Honor)
Revenge (Blood and Honor)
Retribution (Blood and Honor)
Redemption (Blood and Honor, #3) — available fall 2013.
Reckoning (Blood and Honor, #4) — available early 2014.

Paul Demeyer – Director
The face might not be one you would instantly recognise, but this guest’s work is legendary and the results of his work still adorn movie theatre and television screens globally…
The catchphrase “I don’t know; maybe this isn’t such a good idea.” is known to millions as the voice of Chuckie… and yes, I am privileged to announce the identity of my next guest as none other than the creative producer of the Rugrats
TV series 2nd season, Director of the animated feature Rugrats In Paris
and Sequence Director of Rugrats : The Movie
.
Of course we are talking about Paul Demeyer, who also directed several sequences of The Wild Thornberrys – The Movie
for Paramount/ Nickelodeon Movies and many episodes of the Duckman Series
television show for Klasky-Csupo Inc.
Paul Demeyer started out his career in remarkable style by winning the student academy award for his short animation “The Muse” and has been no stranger to awards ever since. He produced and directed the animated short “The Goose Girl” which won the Best Children Film Award at the Ottawa Animation Film Festival and The Animation Celebration in Los Angeles, 1989 and was producer/director of the team who were nominated for two primetime Emmy awards in 1997 & 1999.
Paul is a very private individual, yet whilst currently directing a new animated TV show for Disney Jr. called Miles from Tomorrowland, he has kindly agreed to take time out to conduct this very rare appearance running the gauntlet of Simons 10 Q Interviews.
Come back soon and see how Paul gets on during this highly anticipated ‘event’. If you would like to know more about Paul’s work before the interview why not visit some of the sites Paul receives a mention by following the links below;
