them. Fortunately for Kate Thornton they do exist, so she grabs their scary
potential and runs with it in the first book of her Toni Carey series, BUZZ
KILL. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Blessed with a spunky, horny heroine, this un-cozy mystery unfurls
enough red herrings to keep readers guessing, exquisitely detailed moments of
horror and revulsion, and plenty of wink-wink humor. Thornton gives us a world
so real, it’s hard to believe that it’s fiction. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Having received an urgent note from her Uncle Horace to visit him
in the fictitious California burg of Loma Vista “on a matter of Great
Importance,” Toni Carey arrives to find his house trashed; a weird pile of
smokey ashes in the closet; and a strapping good-smelling small-town-detective
type investigating the fact that her uncle was found alone in a coma.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">A semi-retired “bug expert” professor who specializes in
butterflies at the local college and tends his own beehives at home, Uncle
Horace is an unlikely candidate for leaving himself vulnerable to anaphylactic
shock. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">So what happened and who is responsible? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">When a man Toni never heard of turns up dead in her uncle’s
shed—undeniably done in by bees—the story officially turns into a Murder
Whodunit. Is it only one perp or more than one behind the coma and the death?
Who can be trusted? Who should not be believed?<br />
<br />
A seasoned magazine article writer, Toni is adept at research. As she
cautiously investigates, she encounters enough suspects to remain suspicious of
nearly everyone she encounters: Should she take at face value Uncle Horace’s
well-preserved lady friend or his “beehive assistant” teenage neighbor boy with
the weirdly nonverbal mother? And what about that cheeky, sexy receptionist at
the university’s Biology Department? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Stirred by the electric lust she feels at the touch of a handsome
man’s compassionate hand or the sight of a holstered Barretta pressed up
against his warm body or the sudden kiss in a biology laboratory from a
biologist she just met, the too-long-celibate Toni struggles to sort the truth
from illusion when it comes to her feelings vs. her “who’s who?” need for
insight. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Will she end up in bed with the soap-smelling detective or the
lightly fragranced bee researcher? Or neither? Or both? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Thornton’s witty writing keeps all these juggled balls aloft. Her
skill with turns of phrases gives jolts of pleasure throughout: </span></span></p>

and started to dial 911, then thought better of that. The guy in the shed
wasn’t going anywhere and an ambulance would just be a formality.” </span></span></blockquote><p></p>

about Africanized bees and bees in general for avid bee-lovers and the
bee-curious. </span></span></p>

excited to share this brilliant, thoughtfully literate analysis of ALL STORMS
PASS 2 by author/poet/screenwriter William Drew Weinbrenner:<br />
<br />
Inspiring! In the amorphous space between poetry, self-help, aphorism, personal
development and mantra lies Luke Benoit’s new masterpiece: ALL STORMS PASS, THE
ANTI-MEDITATIONS 2 [Rain and Fire].<br />
<br />
Because more than one thing is going on in this work, ALL STORMS PASS cannot be
relegated to the Personal Development shelf of Oprah’s Book Club. It is a
brutally personal and specific literary work that documents the battles our
collective egos fight daily.<br />
<br />
Is it poetry? A life-coaching workbook? Affirmations for those in tough times?
A memoir proudly cataloguing hard-won wisdom? The artist’s numerous motives rise
from his experience as an educator, counselor, and coach. The reader can feel
the visceral practicality of truisms like:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">getting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">ALL STORMS
PASS is not new age, feel-good, escapism. The book is relentlessly pragmatic
and unpretentious, boiling down the inner voices of a wide array of personal
narratives that prompt the reader to recognize themselves in each profile.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Most
personal development books originate from a philosophy or belief system.
Without fail, the first step in enlightenment is an obligatory consensus on
those values. The premise being that if we can’t agree on what enlightened
detachment is, the reader has little hope of finding their way to it on their
own from wherever they are.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">ALL STORMS
PASS takes the markedly different approach: you do NOT need to be a different
person, in different circumstances, with a clear vision of nirvana. It gives
you permission to be exactly the hot mess you are, owning the circumstances in
which you find yourself, and saying right here, right now, just as I am and you
are, some semblance of inner peace in available to us - if we’d just have the
self-esteem to take it. The meditations do not aspire to perfectionism, and instead
embrace what’s real and actual in each scenario.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Unlike the
work of artist Barbara Kruger, whose charged slogans are steeped with ironic
social commentary in the form of 20th century marketing campaigns, Benoit’s
words externalize and objectify the most intimate and corrosive declarations we
say to OURSELVES, and then respond - with pragmatic love and humor.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">Text layout,
in an E.E. Cummings freeform typography, requires the reader to digest each
word or phrase in sequence. The text deliberately slows down the desperate eye,
and the manic mind, to demand consideration of each idea. Benoit bravely holds
up these confessions until the reader sees their own motives, impulses,
self-indulgence, mania, self-sabotage and sublimation in self-context.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">The reader
cannot be ambivalent about the profiles. Immediately, the ear assesses the self
in relation to each scenario, triggering judgement, nostalgia, regret,
sympathy, titillation, and a detached reflection on all we’ve survived.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 107%;">In the end
ALL STORMS PASS is for anyone who ever needed to manifest the inner voice
crazy-making in their head. It seems infinitely easier to be objective when it
is fixed on the printed page, and captured tangibly in the hand. In some mystic
and strange way, ALL STORMS PASS raises our stream of consciousness to the
level of art. Wonderful. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

A former psychotherapist with extensive 12-Step Recovery knowhow, Benoit proposes that these anti-meditations may occasionally serve as puzzles—jumping off places for discussion, self-assessment, or prayer.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">As a philosopher and poet, Benoit strikes a balance between his own truths and universal truths. Yes, he went through the Valley of the Shadow, but he points out that his experiences are not unique. The question ultimately is not necessarily how can we avoid trauma, but how can we flourish in spite of it?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">RAIN AND FIRE’S hybrid of searing poetry, confessional naked rage and heartfelt love is tempered with popup humor that keeps the reader smiling through tears while turning pages. Instead of titles, the meditations have subject-oriented headlines such as:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">“When will it be success and how will I know it when it gets here?”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Today, I will admit that sometimes BEING STUCK IS A CHOICE”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Today, I will accept that LIFE is not an ALFRED HITCHCOCK MOVIE”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">“There comes a time when no matter where you've been and no matter what you've been through, you have to MOVE FORWARD anyway”</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">And my personal favorite:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">I will WALK MY DOG -<br />no matter what else is<br />going on.</span></i></p></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Even Benoit’s Dedication starts out with a smile:</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></p><blockquote><i><span style="font-size: medium;">For my Auntie Cia,<br />my Mom and Dad<br />and the Tall Dark Stranger<br />I thought might bury me<br />in the basement.</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-size: medium;">In a poignant, highly personal passage, the author reveals that after writing the first book, he suffered a physical and mental breakdown that was eventually diagnosed as severe vertigo—a health crisis that ended his progress for a time, except in the arena of healing, which eventually did happen. </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">Benoit does not attempt to offer readers magical solutions received from On High, but supplies aid as a fellow traveler who has come many times to a crossroads that asks him to choose between Light and Darkness, and he continues to choose Light.</span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;">I highly recommend this book to advocates of 12-Step Recovery and those who wish to learn more about it; seekers of recovery from trauma or life itself; spiritual seekers; and poetry lovers.</span></p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9FjS9Nf-Uvz-tGP6DeAPVbo2MmBQ08bItxpEvpO7SLOR143xi_3pjYY18ZA54KOcKLwneN9c36Sj0a4iqyuHbCG59ytfa_ASr7TVqDuk1g8QAZ9bGiFk2mCVFb9S46uJfl5X2Svm9EcE9/s1360/RAIN+AND+FIRE+BACK+COVER.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1360" data-original-width="907" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9FjS9Nf-Uvz-tGP6DeAPVbo2MmBQ08bItxpEvpO7SLOR143xi_3pjYY18ZA54KOcKLwneN9c36Sj0a4iqyuHbCG59ytfa_ASr7TVqDuk1g8QAZ9bGiFk2mCVFb9S46uJfl5X2Svm9EcE9/w426-h640/RAIN+AND+FIRE+BACK+COVER.jpg" width="426" /></a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Title: ALL STORMS PASS: THE ANTI-MEDITATIONS 2 – RAIN AND FIRE<br />Author: Luke Benoit<br />Publisher: Luke Benoit<br />Publication Date: May 27, 2021<br />Language: English<br />Paperback: 346 pages $17.95<br />978-0692222119<br />Available on Amazon<br /><p><br /></p>Marlan Warrenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03339307047531693387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853666449686804707.post-39135996731914135332019-10-02T10:51:00.001-07:002019-10-02T10:53:18.553-07:00AUTHOR INTERVIEW WITH KATHERINE NORLAND RE POETIC PRESCRIPTIONS FOR PLAGUING PROBLEMS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>Q and A with Katherine Norland</b></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1. How did you come up with the notion of the “10 Plagues” from the Old Testament as the basis for a book of poetry? When did you first start writing it?<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I was being plagued by so many things: doubt, money issues, relationship problems, fear, work related issues. It felt like I was riddled with at least 10 plagues coming at me at once. I combed through my poems as if I was combing through a child’s hair looking for lice -- and compiled them into a first draft of all the modern-day plagues that I felt are now an epidemic, plaguing our society. And I combined the Biblical 10 plagues with plagues that we’ve faced throughout history like typhus, the bubonic plague, the Moscow plague of 1771, etc.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;">2.<span style="color: red;"> </span></span></b><b><span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;">Has writing this book helped you heal yourself?</span></b><span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There’s a tendency in the church to pretend like everything is okay. When someone asks how you are, you say, “I’m fine, God is good, I’m blessed” because sometimes there is this fear of being ostracized if you’re in a battle, or you feel like you should have it handled and this thing shouldn’t be plaguing you, and you feel like “Maybe I’m not a good Christian if I’m still struggling with this thing.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There’s just something freeing about writing poetry. I’m able to say things I wouldn’t dare share with someone in a conversation. This book exposed me to God, my friends, and my family in ways I wouldn’t have thought possible and that are hard to think about. People who’ve known me for years have said, “I know you so much better now after reading your poems.”<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>3. Your book is divided into four parts with humorous titles:</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b><br />I. The Plague: It’s Like a Locust Infestation<br /><br />II. Aware: Place Roach Motels in Every Room<br /><br />III. Combat: Armed with Pesticide, Wearing a Flypaper Dress<br /><br />IV. Eradicate: Time to Tent the House</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<b><span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What does “Place Roach Motels in Every Room” mean exactly? Can you give us an example of a “Roach Motel” remedy as it appears in one of the poems?<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">
<span style="font-family: "new serif" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Place Roach Motels in Every Room” is in the poem “They Just Wanna Fight.” It’s a metaphor for what you have to do to take matters into your own hands and protect yourself if you’ve got people in your life crawling all over you and consuming all that you have, pointing out your flaws. If you’re around people who never bring any good into your life, you must debug and get rid of them or they will multiply. Those frenemies have nothing on Egyptian desert roaches. Here’s an excerpt from that poem:<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">These dark deeds they deduce I do,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">So odious they think I am,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Are sewage that they dine upon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I flip on the light, they scram!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">They crawl all over picnic plans<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Swimming in my lemonade.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bug bombs I pitch with fervent clip<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anti-parasite grenades.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It’s time to stop being the victim in your own story. When you finally recognize what the problem is in your life and where it’s coming from, it’s your duty to do something about it for your health and well-being. We must use the brains God gave us to get out of those situations.</span></div>

The book’s stated purpose is to answer two questions that the author would ask whenever the chips were down:</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<i><span style="border: 0px; font-family: "times" , serif; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Where is God in all this?

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I. The Plague: It’s Like a Locust Infestation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<i>It seems that only God can change my ways;<br />With Him I’d get my cheese and leave the maze.<br />My body tires out and I collapse.<br />Look up to see I was just chasing scraps.</i></div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
Judith Fein’s fourth deep travel memoir, HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEAD AND HOW CULTURES DO IT AROUND THE WORLD, invites us along on her decades of investigations and explorations of the final frontier: Death.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
For most of her life, Judith Fein has seen and heard dead people. Not all the time, thank goodness, or it would not leave much time for this prolific journalist to write about her soul-searching globetrotting with her ever-skeptical photojournalist husband, Paul Ross. "Judie and Paul" are the "Nick and Nora" of the travel adventure-supernatural set. She can see a ghostly figure in the middle of nowhere and believe it to be a specter. He can be right next to her, eyes huge, and afterward admit “maybe” it was real. Their yin-yang bonding and love adds to the delightful humor of this Odyssey.</div>

The Oxford dictionary defines "woo-woo" as "unconventional beliefs regarded as having little or no scientific basis, especially those relating to spirituality, mysticism, or alternative medicine…" Throughout her illustrious career as a journalist, Fein has occasionally penned articles about seeking healers and rituals in “exotic” locales; although mostly she has flown under the radar as a gifted intuitive herself. This book puts the spotlight on Fein’s spiritual truths as she has lived them, revealing how she has embraced and been embraced by others around the world who perceive those truths without shame.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
There is no navel-gazing in these stories that take us from her father’s untimely death (and her first stunned awareness that she could hear him beyond the grave) to her late mother’s skepticism that she and her daughter could communicate after her transition (and how wrong that turned out to be) to various vortexes of cultures and religions that accept death as a fact of life that does not end the soul.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
Fein’s passion to communicate with her living readers shines as an honest desire to help others move through their grief and fears to an understanding that death itself is not the final word on existence.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
A discussion guide ends the book with such thought-provoking gems as:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
"Would you like someone to contact you after you die? Why or why not?"<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
No matter what the answer, I’m willing to bet it won’t be boring. Fein invites readers to discuss the most taboo topic in America, as if to say:<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">“It’s an honor to be included,” said Warren. “This will be my first public reading of this book.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The
e-book debuted as a "novel" on Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)
in 2015. "Roadmaps for the Sexually Challenged" is set in Los Angeles in
the mid-90s with the O.J. trial in the background and plenty of steamy
sex. The story follows the hot romance of a divorcing Jewish American
woman with a Japanese American man who still bears the scars suffered by
his family during World War II. As both are on the rebound, the woman's
girlfriends cheer from the sidelines, while issuing small craft
warnings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">“A paperback second edition will be coming
out this Fall,” said Warren, noting that the story has its roots in
diary entries, which qualifies it as a fictionalized memoir. "I altered
reality here and there, including scenes that let me say what I wish I
had said.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Warren is also a documentary filmmaker and
playwright whose topics often involve couples of mixed races or
cultures: “As a film writer/producer, I tried for years to bring
racially mixed couples to the screen, and hit the wall every time in
Hollywood."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Her “Japanese American Internment”
documentary “What did you do in the War, Mama?: Kochiyama’s Crusaders”
is in post-production. Two years ago, her play, “Bits of Paradise:
Kochiyama’s Crusaders” debuted at Rogue Machine Theatre in Hollywood.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">The
panel will be moderated by writer/editor Robin Quinn, and also feature
readings by authors Madeline Sharples and Herbie J. Pilato.</span><br />

This has been an exciting year for me. Last spring, I was invited to join the faculty of the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society, and right out of the gate, they put me on panels for their free meetings, and scheduled me to speak on the plethora of topics that I've gained extensive experience in professionally.<br />
<br />
My next opportunities will be Friday, Aug. 16th at 6 p.m., at the Annual Greater Los Angeles Writers Conference (#AGLAWC) when I will speak on memoir writing, and Aug. 18th at 10 a.m. when I will have fun hearing "First Lines" of writers' manuscripts to give feedback. On Saturday, Aug. 17th, I'll be on hand to hear your manuscript draft pitches for editorial feedback. (Yes! I am a book editor!) You have to sign up in advance to participate.<br />
<br />
In 1979, I arrived in San Diego from Chicago with the goal of writing professionally. At a journalism workshop, the teacher urged me to attend writers conferences as a way to improve my skills, and even more importantly, connect with fellow writers. I attended my first conference a month later. It was a refreshingly supportive experience that made me feel that I was on the right track!<br />
<br />
<b>DETAILS:</b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Friday, 8/16 @6-7pm</span></b><br />
<br />
Writing a Best-Selling Memoir - Biographies That More Than Just Your Family Will Read:<br />
What makes “Eat, Pray, Love,” “The Liar’s Club” or “Angela’s Ashes” garner dazzling reviews or make readers weep or howl with laughter? How do you impose order on a thousand memories? Why is it important to resist the temptation to summarize your life?<br />
<br />
In this workshop, we’ll identify what makes great memoirs unforgettable, as well as identify moments from your own life: the lowest ebb, the most unusual, shattering, funny or triumphant incidents that reveal your character and move readers. We will also discuss how to write a memoir/autobiography for a friend or client/celebrity.<br />
<br />
MarlanWarren, Madeline Sharples, Herbie J. Pilato, Robin Quinn<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">I'll be available Saturday, 8/17. After lunch! For this:</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">ProCritiques™ with Editors and Literary Agents</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">1 on-1 Pitch Sessions w/Agents and Publishers</span></b><br />
<br />
Meet editors, agents and/or publishers for a personal consultation to pitch, discuss and improve pre-submitted pages of your manuscript. Schedule an appointment at the Registration Desk. Some editors may take new submissions on site. A separate fee applies to ProCritque and Masters ProCritique consultations. Some agents do not read or edit material in advance. Consult the wcwriters.com website for details. We recommend you attend the "How to Pitch" session in order to help identify the best professional for your individual genre and material.<br />
<br />
<b>SIGN UP at 1-on-1 Desk starts after agent panel.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Sunday, AUG. 18 @10 A.M.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Great Beginnings for Nonfiction Books –</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Your First Line, First Pages</span></b><br />
<br />
You've heard that if the first paragraph of your novel isn't strong enough, agents and publishers won't read the first page, let alone the first fifty. Now you can learn how to separate fact from fiction and remain true to your story. Learn to draft a first line that will grab an acquisition editor and announce your authority as an author. This will cover first pages, first chapters, and first characters. This is a unique opportunity for you to learn how pros consider the merits of the material and the intent of the author, then offer improvements covering everything from glaring grammar errors to story-structure flaws to the overall storytelling and more.<br />
<br />
Bring six (6) copies of your first 2 pages. Selected works will be read aloud, so the audience can follow along and learn how an agent or publisher reviews a manuscript. Time permitting, they may suggest improving the samples.<br />
<br />
Claire Gerus, Helga Schier, Marlan Warren, plus panel<br />

<b>EINSTEINS'S COMPASS: A YA TIME TRAVELER ADVENTURE</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This Young Adult Fantasy/New Age/Revisionist History novel
cuts a unique niche for itself in YA literature by inventing a Hero's Journey
with "Al" Einstein as the hero and his compass, a jeweled magical
time traveling marvel.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Authors Grace "Christian Mystic" Blair (aka Grace
Allison) and Laren Bright have melded some daring elements of Germany on the
brink of Hitler coming into power with a young genius coming to terms with his
brilliance, being Jewish among Nazis, and all the expected elements of a Hero's
Journey (one shapeshifting dragon...an older wise Mentor...supernatural talisman...).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is doubtful that kids of the 21st Century place as much weight on Albert Einstein in their thoughts as those of the 20th Century did, thanks to his atom-splitting discovery that led to the invention of the atom bomb. And even more likely that few these days ponder Einstein's roots and development into the genius that he became. I had no idea that he grew up a non-practicing Jewish boy in Germany and was in school just before Hitler came to power (Wikipedia provides further details on his fleeing to Switzerland and later ending up in the U.S., as well as his reluctance for his research to end up as a horrible bomb). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the wonderful themes of <i>Einstein's Compass</i> is its own brilliant running theme of "The Split." In the tradition of contemporary fantasy YA novels, there is Good vs. Evil; Light vs. Dark, and the authors make creative use of these concepts as they affect all of us personally as well as politically...and in the world of physics.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another running theme is Energy itself. The heating up of hands when energy is channeled...the Light it can produce...whether it is being channeled for the good of humanity or its destruction.</div>
<br />
Meticulously crafted and beautifully told, Einstein's Compass is garnering awards left and right, and rightly so. Fun for adults as well as teens!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">What do reality TV game show contestants,
religious fanatics, true believers, atheists, zombies, quarreling siblings, an
FBI agent, Elvis impersonator, and an almost-fired English professor at a
Christian college have in common? They all come together to interlock as
essential players in Thomas Allbaugh’s tightly wound, often hilarious, debut
novel, APOCALYPSE TV.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">Shakespeare today might muse that “All the world’s
a reality TV game show, and all the men and women merely players in their quest
for prizes amid layers of illusions and media hype.” It is upon this slippery
platform that Allbaugh has built a metaphor for our contentious world as viewed
through the lenses of good vs. evil, secular religion vs. spirituality, and
love vs. indifference. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">The story kicks off when Christian intellectual,
Walter Terry, takes a leave of absence from his conservative college in
California to visit his dying father in Michigan. Walter has just been put on
notice for allowing students to express non-conservative viewpoints, and fears
his job is on thin ice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">Walter and his sister are approached in a
Midwestern diner by a talent scout for a new reality TV show that claims to be
“an investigation into American religious ideas.” He describes himself to the
pretty interviewer as an “outsider in terms of religion,” but sees her write
down “soft and vulnerable.” This pigeon-holing is exactly what makes these
shows maddening, but also makes them fun for the fans.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">Seduced by the promise of money and his own
rationalization that perhaps a show like this could use an educated analytical
thinker, Walter embarks on what will turn out to be a character-building
odyssey. After he is entrenched in “Race for the Apocalypse,” Walter hears the
producer refer to him as the show’s “sacrificial lamb.” And after that…all bets
are off.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">APOCALYPSE TV gradually amps up its madness,
expanding reality until it pops with an outrageousness that is not quite Marx
Brothers, but a fun romp nonetheless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">Allbaugh treads a fine line between crafting a
thoughtful, moving plot with three-dimensional characters and satire. He keeps
the humor subtle and deadpan, in the vein of Joseph Heller’s “Catch-22,” while
never straying far from the book’s serious themes which examine secular
religion vs. spirituality, truth vs. fiction, loyalty vs. betrayal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">Nothing turns out to be what it seems, the
innocent must suffer, guilty baggage must be unloaded, and once a gun is
introduced, it must eventually be used in the finale (with a nod to Chekhov).
It is Allbaugh’s incredible juggling act that keeps the comedy, drama, and
religious debates lightly airborne until they come back down to Earth, not with
a bang or a whimper, but with the hard truths of Life and what it means to slog
willingly through it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 106%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 106%;">APOCALYPSE TV will appeal to open-minded
faith-based readers, as well as those who have no affiliation with a religion
or belief. It argues against the extreme notion that only members of a certain
faith are favored by God, while making a case for spiritual salvation through
love, faith, hope, service…and the willingness to persevere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>WC2 Presents Genre-LA Creative Writing Conference (Culver City) (3/29-31)</b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br />
Now in its 22nd year, WC2 West Coast Writers Conferences presents the Genre-LA Creative Writing Conference at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Friday, March 29 through Sunday, March 31. The conference features best-selling authors, editors, publishers, literary agents, publicists, and film industry experts.<br />
<br />
“Each program is ideal for aspiring, active, and accomplished writers who want to improve the quality of their work and increase chances for success as an author,” said Tony Todaro, WC2 Executive Director and President/Co-Founder of the Greater Los Angeles Writers Society (GLAWS).<br />
<br />
In addition to panels with topics such as “How to Develop Your Memoir with Appeal to the Widest Possible Audience” and “Things I Wish a Pro Had Told Me When I First Started Writing,” the conference offers one-on-one pro-critiques, and features solo speakers with industry expertise.<br />
<br />
Behind the scenes, the Author Learning Center (ALC) will be videotaping interviews with selected presenters and panelists. Excerpts will be available on ALC’s website.<br />
<br />
“Site visitors use our landing page to look for resources on a certain topic,” said Sheila Manna, Manager of Author Education. “We also use the videos to make learning content recommendations to our members.”<br />

<b>PANELS WHERE YOU CAN SEE ME AND WE CAN TALK:</b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br />
Hope to see you there if you're in the L.A. area. The conference is also featuring a FREE speaker event at 1pm on Saturday, so if you're on a tight budget...here's a chance to get some great writer tips along with networking opportunities!<br />
<br />
I'll be appearing on the following panels, speaking on topics covering my fields of expertise in writing, editing<br />
<br />
<b>FRIDAY (3/29/19)</b><br />
<br />
<b>3:15 pm</b> How to Develop Your Memoir with Appeal to the Widest Possible Audience<br />
<br />
What makes “Eat, Pray, Love,” “The Liar’s Club” or “Angela’s Ashes” garner dazzling reviews or make readers weep or howl with laughter? How do you impose order on a thousand memories? Why is it important to resist the temptation to summarize your life?<br />
<br />
In this workshop, we’ll identify what makes great memoirs unforgettable, as well as identify moments from your own life: the lowest ebb, the most unusual, shattering, funny or triumphant incidents that reveal your character and move readers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>4:30 pm</b> Things I Wish a Pro Had Told Me When I First Started Writing<br />
<br />
Many aspiring writers waste time and brain cells when they first enter the world of writing professionally. Becoming a writer and then a published author is a steep, steep learning curve. Even for those with prior experience and previously published books, the rapidly changing landscape of the industry means you can easily make mistakes; in your writing, pitching, marketing and certainly when it comes to finding and signing a deal with a publisher or entering the shark-infested waters of the self-publishing pool. The aim of this session is to keep you safe, strong and smart as you progress in your work and career. Learn from industry pros many of the things you can avoid to save years of frustration and yes, brain cells, too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SUNDAY (3/31/19)</b><br />
<br />
<b>10 AM Great Beginnings for Novels – Your First Line, First Page</b><br />
<br />
You know that if the first paragraph of your novel isn't strong enough, agents and publishers won't read the first page, let alone the first fifty. Learn to separate fact from fiction and remain true to your story. Learn to draft a first line that will grab an acquisition editor and announce your authority as an author. This will cover first pages, first chapters, and first characters. This is a unique opportunity for you to learn how pros consider the merits of the material and the intent of the author, then offer improvements covering everything from glaring grammar errors to story-structure flaws to the overall storytelling and more.<br />
<br />
Bring six (6) copies of your first 2 pages. Selected works will be read aloud, so the audience can follow along and learn how an agent or publisher reviews a manuscript. Time permitting, they may suggest improving the samples.<br />

I am excited to announce that as a new associate with the Greater Los
Angeles Writers Society (<b>GLAWS</b>) Faculty, I will join fellow
publicists to speak on the topic of "<b>How to Build a Market for
Your Novels and Short Stories</b>" on <b>Saturday, March 16 at
2:30pm at the Culver City Julian Dixon Library in the Ray Bradbury Room</b>.<br />
<br />
The event is free with limited seating.<br />
<br />
It will be a special pleasure for me because this is the same meeting place
where in 2012--as a fledgling publicist--I sat in the audience listening to the
brilliant publicist and author, <a href="https://www.howtodoitfrugally.com/" target="_blank">Carolyn Howard-Johnson</a> give PR tips for
authors. In fact, I still have my voluminous notes scrawled in pen on a yellow
legal pad.<br />
<br />
The Panel Topic According to the <a href="http://www.glaws.org/events/monthlyeventcalendar.html" target="_blank">Greater
Los Angeles Writers Society Website</a> rolls out like this:<br />
<br />
"In an age when authors often need to develop to their own market and
fan base, the path to success can appear full of potholes, costly traps and
dead ends. Beyond just traditional public relations and digital marketing,
there’s an increasing number of routes that you can utilize to reach the public
and more potential customers. This panel of experts will detail the basics, and
reveal many secrets of success."<br />
<br />
While the "basics" can be explained with crystal clarity, and the
steps followed easily by most authors, the "success" side, in my
experience, has been a combination of knowledge, skill, constant effort, and
the marketability of the book (i.e., the potential readership/audience). And
let's not forget...Fate (aka Luck; Good Fortune; and Out of the Blue God
Shots).<br />
<br />
Details are forthcoming!<br />
<br />
If you are in the L.A. area, please stop in and gain some tips and tricks
that may be well worth your while.<br />
<br />
I will also be speaking on panels at the Genre-LA Writers Conference on
Friday, March 29 and Sunday, March 31. Details are on the <a href="http://www.glaws.org/events/monthlyeventcalendar.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Greater Los

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
I have respect for anyone’s spiritual journey. And I have
a lot of respect for the poet Artemis Craig, whom I met at USC, while we were
both in film school studying screenwriting. We only met once, in the changing
room of the gym, but her feisty humor made a lasting impression.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
“Before they’re done, this school’s gonna own the drawers
on my butt!” she said. I don’t know about her, but that school does own the
drawers on <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">my</i> butt. The one thing I
do know that we share is post-film-school depression. A not uncommon affliction
in L.A.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Now, a couple decades later, Craig has risen out of the
ashes of Hollywood as an evangelical poet who has walked through fire, and
lived to tell her story in the form of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Inspirational
Verse for Those Who Hunger and Thirst: A Book of Poems to Feed the Soul</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
With straightforward honesty and a gift for storytelling,
Craig has arranged the poems in this anthology as an odyssey washed in the
blood of heartaches, losses, and disappointments after returning home as the
Prodigal Daughter. All the elements that make <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“inspirational verse” inspirational are there
(finding and praising the Grace of God), woven into searing moments from Craig’s
life, told with her flair for dramatic prose and metaphor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Her post-graduation first experience--pitching to execs at
a major studio--soured her forever on staying on that track. Many film school
alumni can relate (this one does). A sensitive soul, Craig stayed away from the
written word until she began writing poetry in the 21<sup>st</sup> Century,
finally gaining the spiritual strength to openly share it in 2013 with this
book.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The poem that opens the book, “Speak Now,” reflects the pain
felt by many a disillusioned film student:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Without words I
became invisible which was fine by me, <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Found a home for my
anger and bitterness in my invisibility. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Disappointment and
hatred festered inside all the while, <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">But none knew because through it all I wore a smile.</span><o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I felt personal resonance with her personal poems about loss.
One deeply regrets missing the passing of her grandmother because Craig was
busy pursuing her career on the other coast. I was at USC editing my film for
class when news of my father’s sudden passing came.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One of the most moving poems is “Life Not Mine to Save,” remembering
her futile attempts to save her father’s life when he died of heart failure:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">One, one thousand,
two, one thousand <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Chest compressions
like I’d been taught weren’t enough <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Formed a seal over
your mouth and into it blew a quick puff. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stay with me! Stay
with me! But you refused to wake<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Afterward she fills such bitterness, that she questions
God’s actions:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Though it’s hard to believe, your life was not mine to save. <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Anger at God is all I can feel, <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">That along with the hope that somehow <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This can’t possibly be real.</span></i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The poem plays out like a short film. With a “resolution”
that is accepting and spiritual:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

popped into my head when I first began reading June Casagrande's lively,
informative <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;"><i>The Joy of Syntax: A
Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know </i></span>was me
in the backseat of my parents' car circa 1960, listening to Mom and Dad engage
in a heated argument over incorrect vs. correct grammar. I don't recall what
"rule" they were debating, only the yelling. That's how seriously a
grammar mistake can affect us. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
When it comes to syntax, I suspect people may be divided
into three categories: those who know what syntax is and care; those who heard
about it in English class but it didn't stick; and those who do not care at
all. The first group contains people who love words or need them to advance
their careers, future careers, and/or social standing. Those are the people who
stand to get the most out of this book.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Casagrande's style is simple, direct, and
friendly-humorous. The book's contents reflect a trove of enlightening trivia
such as "<i>Well </i>as an Adverb and an Adjective;" "Dangling
Participles and Other Danglers;" "Language Myths" (brace
yourself). Part I focuses on "Syntax" and Part II on "Usage and
Propriety." The latter goes beyond the average English speaker/writer's
grasp of what is grammatically correct and explains that the acceptability of
certain words can depend on whether they have been accepted into common usage.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Did you know that if a word is found in the dictionary,
it's considered "valid"? Not necessarily appropriate for your
dissertation, but not "wrong" in more casual contexts.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Pop Quiz:</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
True or False? </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(1) It is always wrong to say or write "ain't."</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(2) "Nauseous" and "Nauseated" can be
used interchangeably.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(3) "Tomorrow" is both a noun and an adverb.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
(4) Most, if not all, grammar questions can be answered
by looking in the dictionary.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Here's a hint: number one is false. Surprised? Want to
know why? Read the book. As for the rest...read the book. It won't kill you and
you might even learn something.</div>

Welcome to the first installment of the <b><a href="http://bookpublicitybymarlan.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Book Publicity by Marlan</a> </b>Newsletter!<b> </b>I
began representing indie authors four years ago when my longtime
friend, Luke Benoit, published a book that I thought was terrific (<b><a href="http://roadmapgirlsbookbuzz.blogspot.com/2015/01/review-all-storms-pass-anti-meditations.html" target="_blank">All Storms Pass: The Anti-Meditations</a></b>).
I ran a book review and an author interview in my blogs, and the
rest...as they say...is history. Since then, it's been a thrilling--and
educational!--ride as I hone my publicity and marketing skills, while
assisting indie authors (self-published and small press) with their book
launch campaigns, book reviews, press releases, press kits, speaker
engagements and of course, book signing bookings. My services sometimes
include editing (copy editing, as well as full-on revision suggestions
and rewrite/ghostwrite).<br />
<br />
Every client experience has
been a teaching episode. It is not enough to throw your book up on
Amazon and hope for the best. And each PR effort requires diligence as
well as knowledge on the part of all who are promoting a book.<br />

I'm an "Artisanal Publicist"--each book
campaign that I design for an author includes a carefully crafted one-sheet, "elevator pitch," and
consideration of the target market, as a well-researched plan for attracting
media interest and interviews. <br />
<br />
This month, I find I have a short list of Writer-Author-Publisher items that might interest you. So here we go!<br />

Seattle Publisher, <a href="http://www.gemellipress.com/" target="_blank">Gemelli Press</a>,
will be releasing and re-releasing these spicy guidebooks to Italy,
just in time for your next Italian Romp (or your next fantasy about it):<br />
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div>
<i><b>In Etna's Shadow</b></i></div>

<i><b>Salento by 5</b></i></div>

<i><b>Pit Stops, Pitfalls and Olive Pits</b></i></div>
<div>
<i><b>Coins in the Fountain </b></i></div>
<div>
<i><b>The Essential Etna Wine Guide</b></i></div>
<div>
I
worked with Gemelli and its sister, Green Darner Press, last year on
several of their exciting books, and cannot wait to get started on
helping spread the word on these new offerings.<i><b> (I also did the
final edit on Pit Stops, Pitfalls and Olive Pits, a lovely you-are-there
guidebook with charming anecdotes along the way.)</b></i></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">For great tips in PR, Writing and Beyond, I highly recommend veteran author/publicist <b>Carolyn Howard-Johnson</b>'s jam-packed <b><a href="http://howtodoitfrugally.com/newsletter_copies.htm" target="_blank">Sharing With Writers Newsletter</a></b>.
She also maintains a generous and informative website, where she
frequently publishes my book reviews (she welcomes your submissions
too), and most recently a note of praise I wrote her re her Artists

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This very savvy publicist is the author of the bestselling <a href="http://howtodoitfrugally.com/" target="_blank"><i><b>How to Do It Frugally</b></i></a> series, which serve as encyclopedias for self-published authors.</span></span><br />

but the MBR editors are fine with me publishing those reviews elsewhere
first; so while I wait for MBR to Green Light them, I send them off to <b>Carolyn Howard-Johnson's</b> <b><a href="http://thenewbookreview.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The New Book Review</a></b> site, in addition to publishing them on my blogs: <b><a href="http://howtodoitfrugally.com/newsletter_copies.htm" target="_blank">L.A.

<br />
And P.S. to anyone in the Los Angeles/Pasadena area: <a href="http://sistersincrimela.com/meetings-2/" target="_blank"><b>Sisters in Crime</b></a>
is a wonderful group for mystery writers and readers. They meet once a
month at the South Pasadena Public Library (and are international, as
well). The meetings are open to anyone and free (membership is
worthwhile if you care to join for a small fee), and feature speakers
who give talks on all aspects of writing, publishing and
mystery/suspense genre writing. <br />

I edited and helped revise the first draft of Shelly & Sherry Glaser's all-about-healing book enticingly entitled <i><b>The First Practical Handbook for Crazy People</b>.</i> Sherry Glaser is a well-known performance artist and activist whose hilariously painful one-woman show, <i><b>Family Secrets</b></i>,
still holds the title of Longest Running One-Woman Show in Broadway
History. Her mother, Shelly Glaser, was in and out of mental wards for
most of her adult life, but as she pushed for answers to help heal
herself and found a path that worked for her...she also began writing
this book. Years after her mother's death, Sherry Glaser came across the
manuscript, and sat down (with her mother's blessing from the Great
Beyond) and began revising it--as well as adding her own two cents about
her own Odyssey to Sanity. If you'd like more info or wish to donate to
the crowd-funding site for the book's publication, please visit<br />

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Should you consider a Digital Press Kit?</b></span></span><br />
<br />
Just a few words about the <b>Digital Press Kits</b>
I've started designing for clients (authors and entertainers). When I
first started, all the elements of the press kit were laid out
one-by-one and attached to an e-mail query to a reporter or program
director, or copied & pasted into the body of the e-mail. This is
still advisable (sans the attachments and preferably via a service like
Constant Contact if you're going to send out to a lot of recipients).
However, a <b>Digital Press Kit </b>can be quite impressive and
effective. Check out the link above for Sherry Glaser or visit the press
kit I created for Stacey R. Campbell's Young Adult adventure tale <b><a href="http://arrghpresskit.blogspot.com/2015/07/welcome-to-arrgh-press-kit-adventure-on.html" target="_blank">Arrgh!</a></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> <u>Bonus:</u></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>Make your Bio great again!</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's
not just books that are as different from each other as snowflakes, but
so are publicists. Because I find myself at a loss to articulate all
that I encounter in a day or over a period of months working with an
author, I've decided to post some "Before" & "After" shots to help
folks get a whiff of what it's like to be...well, <i>me.</i></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
couple years ago, I was hired by a friend I've known for over three
decades. She is highly accomplished in all facets of her professional
life, and well known in her circles (we're talking Ted Talks and awards
and a column for <i>Psychology Today</i>, etc.). Yet, despite all this,
and more, I was surprised when she sent me what I considered to be a
rather "bare bones" account of who she is (aka "Bio").</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i> </i></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">It
turns out that we are not always the best publicists for ourselves when
it comes to writing bios; one reason being our modesty or even
"blindness" to what exactly makes our life story so interesting to
others.</span></span></span></span><br />

I like it. The basic bio is there that you always use and that's really good.
It seems a little weak to me because of some omissions, intentional or
otherwise, that could make it sparkle? It seems to be the end-product of your

I don't think it would hurt to be more specific about the "broadcast"
-- esp. what people recognize (<b>like what makes people go "Oh!" and
gasp at parties or stop looking around to see who else is there but now they
fixate on you</b>). So I would mention NPR and the Marketplace that you and Paul
were regulars on (not only Marketplace, but Savvy Traveler). </span></div>

not all that thrilled about the sentence that explains how you bring out the
best in people as writers, etc. It sounds like a bit of a sales pitch (I know
you don't mean it that way), but it seems out of place in an Author's Bio (to
me).</span></div>

Details on the publications wouldn't hurt either, as you have written for L.A.
Times, NY Times. Those are not easy papers to get into.
Do NOT take it for granted that it's no big deal or it will sound like
bragging. <b>Here you can brag.</b></span></div>

<b>Try to stay cognizant of what makes people go "Ah!"</b> When I wrote
Luke's bio, I wrote that he "toiled in Hollywood" before becoming a
therapist. One radio host jumped on that and had a field day asking Luke about
his "Hollywood" career.</span></div>

in Podunk or other than L.A. imbue the word "Hollywood" with either
the image of success (writer) or balls to try to make it as a writer. </span></div>

about your travels (in a condensed, flighty kind of sentence) like "Judie
has run with the bulls in Mexico, healed with the healers in the Yucatan,
danced the hootchie-kootchie in the pyramids, etc."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Judith Fein lives to leave. An
award-winning travel journalist, she is either on the road or on her computer.
She has contributed to more than 100 international publications, including the
Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Dallas Morning News, National Geographic
Traveler, the Jerusalem Post, Hemisphere, Islands, New Mexico Magazine, Travel
Age West, Organic Spa, and Spirituality and Health. She is the
author of the acclaimed book, LIFE IS A TRIP: The Transformative Magic of
Travel. Judith has been a keynote presenter for many conferences, including the
Adventure Travel Trade Association, and Tedx San Miguel de Allende. Widely
lauded as a speaker and storyteller, she is a frequent guest on broadcast
media, was a regular contributor to <i>The Savvy Traveler</i> for six
years, and has been heard on the BBC, <i>All Things Considered</i>,
and <i>Marketplace</i>. With her photojournalist husband Paul
Ross, she teaches public speaking and creativity as applied to writing, PR and
Marketing. Judith is the co-founder and executive editor of the award-garnering
experiential travel blog <a href="http://www.yourlifeisatrip.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">www.YourLifeisaTrip.com</span></a>,
which has more than 125 contributors. She blogs about travel for The Huffington
Post and Psychology Today, and occasionally she and Paul Ross take open-hearted
people on very unusual trips. In her LBTW (Life Before Travel Writing), Fein
ran a theatre company in Europe, lived in Africa, and then worked as a
Hollywood screenwriter, playwright, and theatre director in the
U.S.A. Like a modern-day Marco Polo or Ibn Batuta, Fein has traveled
from Mog Mog to Vanuatu, trained as assistant to a Mexican healer, purchased a
camel in Tunisia, danced with spirits in Brazil and a Mayan elder in Quintana
Roo, dragged her husband to consult with a Zulu <i>sangoma</i> in
South Africa, swum with beluga whales, had a private audience with the High
Priest of the Ancient Israelite Samaritans, appeased the mischievous <i>jinns</i> in
Morocco, and eaten porcupine, albeit not with relish, in Vietnam. Her website
is <a href="http://www.globaladventure.us/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">www.GlobalAdventure.us</span></a> </span>

Revisited</i>.<br />
<b><br />
</b>Carolyn Howard-Johnson's "Imperfect Echoes: Writing Truth and Justice
with Capital Letters, lie and oppression with Small" is just perfect.<br />
<br />
This Los Angeles award-winning poet lays out the landscape of her contemplative
thoughts, feelings and reactions with such honesty and deceptive simplicity
that they have the effect of offering a peek into her private journals. What
puts this poetry on par with leaping tall buildings is the fact that each poem
manages the feat of conveying personal and universal relevance at once.<br />
<br />
Do not be scared off by the prospect of political rhetoric masquerading as
literature; this is not one of those books. Although the book's subtitle may
strike some as rather lofty, it is a quote from Czeslaw Milosz's poem,
"Incantation," in his anthology, "The Captive Mind," which
reflects Howard-Johnson's poetic themes. She has divided her prolific poems
into a Prologue plus four sections: "Remembering What We Must";
"Nations: Tranquil Self-Destruction"; "Acceptance: Waiting for
the Gift"; and "Future Stones of Distrust."<br />
<br />
Howard-Johnson deftly blends the "Truth and Justice" observations
with the "Small" moments of "lie(s)" and
"oppression" as they intersperse through her poet's journey. The
poems in "Remembering What We Must" address the stark realities of
war and global misery, which Howard-Johnson treats with her practiced light
touch that floats like the proverbial butterfly and stings like an outraged
bee.<br />
<br />
In "Belgium's War Fields," she compares the reasons for bygone wars
to our present day confusion: "And now a war that takes from the mouths
/and hearts of the stranded, the homeless. / How different from those who /
marched with snares or flew flags / in a war when we knew / why we were
there."<br />
</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br />
In the "Nations: Tranquil Self-Destruction" section, "The Story
of My Missed Connection in Minneola" brings to life a brief rest stop
during a road trip, which seems rather amusing at first as the wife relieves
her bladder and the husband declines the coffee with "Let's skip it.
Coffee's / probably been stewing for days..." but hits an unexpected bump
of overt bigotry when the roadside store owner confides in them (in between the
screeches of his pet parrot) that he left Los Angeles to get away from the
"ragheads."<br />
<br />
In the "Acceptance: Waiting for the Gift" section,
"Relatives" takes on the ways in which "Small" minds can
make a family dinner feel like a stint in Purgatory: "Perhaps you won't
invite me back / if I mention that infamous / uncle. You know, the one who
killed / three of his wives / but is candid / about who he is, / how many he's
killed, / the methods he used / and never gets invited to dinner.<br />
<br />
In the "Future Stones of Distrust" section, "Rosa Parks
Memorialized" opens with "On the day our September losses / reached
2,000, a tribute / to Rosa..." and asks "If she were alive now.../
would her solo / be enough or do we need now a choir singing, / thousands
screaming...?"<br />
<br />
Imperfect Echoes allows readers to witness a poet's lifetime revisited in
memory and with fresh wisdom. If the topics of oppression, prejudice and war
seem to some "overdone," Howard-Johnson responds in her Prologue
poem, "Apologies from a Magpie":<br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Magpies are born to sing others' songs -<br />
stained notes, imperfect echoes -<br />
until the world begins to know<br />
them by heart.</i><b><br />

summer intern with the local paper in her New Jersey suburb, and meets the
somewhat annoying-but-cute Kieran while she is on assignment. Kieran (age 19)
pounces on Chloe, who is pleased to find a creative person like herself (he's
an aspiring actor), and enjoys his lavish attention as a welcome alternative to
her unhappy home life due to her parents' impending divorce. Gradually, it
becomes more and more apparent that Kieran is emotionally disturbed, and unable
(or unwilling) to control his need to micromanage her life or his extreme
jealousy. At first, she thinks "There's no point in resisting," but
by the time he's repeatedly hurt her physically and mentally, Chloe knows in
her head that he's abusing her, but her heart makes excuses for him. Which will
win? Head or heart?<br />
<br />
Los Angeles author Christina Hoag has crafted <i>Girl on the Brink</i> as a
"howdunit." While it is no mystery why the vulnerable and intelligent
17-year old Chloe falls for the initial charm of a potentially lethal 19-year
old young man whose avid attention leads her into a summer romance, the real
mystery lies in how the heck this otherwise sharp, but troubled, teen will
extricate herself from what increasingly becomes an abusive relationship. <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Hoag has grounded the story in the psychological reality of how abusive
relationships can occur at any age. The episodic story is told in first person
from Chloe's point of view, which gives it a kind of one-sided diary quality,
but its use of present tense gives it a you-are-there immediacy. It unfolds the
way life--and relationships--unfold.<br />
<br />
This is not a "sleeping with the enemy" tale. There are no real
villains here. Neither the sex nor the violence is sensationalized. In fact,
the tragedy and victory play out with greater impact because "domestic
abuse" is sadly commonplace--even though it is almost taboo in American
culture to discuss it openly, especially with young daughters and sons.<br />
<br />
Many readers may see themselves or someone they know in these pages. And to
her credit, Hoag supplies a "Resources" list in the Appendix where
teens can seek help if they are in Chloe's situation.<br />
<br />
It is a well-documented fact that a significant number of abusive
relationships are inhabited by two people who say they love each other. <i>Girl
on the Brink</i> gently explores this paradox (nothing is preachy). And when it
is finally over, a wiser Chloe states:<br />
<br />
"I know it was okay to leave Kieran, and it was okay to miss him,
too."<br />
<br />
Abusive relationships can happen throughout women's lives in repetitive
patterns. <i>Girl on the Brink </i>serves as a beacon that shines light on how
to nip potential abuse cycles in the bud, and place high priority on mutual
respect in relationships.<br />

"Dazzled"
is a top-notch mystery, thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying As the
reviewer says, the juxtaposition of the intoxicating perfume of jasmine
and the stench of the morgue create a compelling vision of the mobius
strip of life in Los Angeles. Highly recommended!</div>

Thank
you, Adrienne Goldstone, for your thumbs-up on "Dazzled." Yesterday I
came across a book about authors who wrote about L.A. Not one woman
mentioned in that huge tome. Maxine Nunes evokes an L.A. so real you can
smell it. Literally.</div>

actress Darla—or verify that the unrecognizable corpse buried in the
Hollywood Forever Cemetery is really someone else. Along the way, Nikki
finds herself smitten with a sexy cop, looks for clues at a Playboy-type
mansion, and tangles with unsavory Underworld characters whose antics
and shocking connections are nearly indistinguishable from the rest of
Hollywood's movers who slither through this book. Sex, drugs and lost
souls who are torn between the need to be "somebody" and the desire to
flee L.A. keep this mystery ticking like the proverbial time bomb.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Review:</b></span><br />
Maxine Nunes' <i>Dazzled</i>
is a tale told with such precision for atmospheric details, lifestyle
annoyances and pitch perfect dialogue, it should come with a cautionary
disclaimer for Los Angelenos:<br />
<br />
"Warning: May induce the sensation that you are still inside the plot every time you look up from the book."<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
True to its genre, the story takes readers where others have gone before, but Nunes puts a fresh spin on the familiar elements<i> </i>through
inspired turns of phrases ("...a man who evidently thought a strip of
chest hair would do for a necktie") and quirky 21st Century updates
(gifted with a bouquet, the only "vase" Nikki can find is an empty
Slurpee cup).<br />
<br />
Nunes also has a gift for depicting
layered characters. To this end, she makes excellent use of an acting
class that demands "honest emotions" of its students. In the hands of a
lesser writer, these scenes could come off as satire or excessively
dramatic; but here they skillfully alternate between humor and pathos
while giving readers the necessary insights. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>The stronger the personality the more it hid.</i></b>—<i>Dazzled</i> </div>
<br />
<i>Dazzled </i>lovingly
and painstakingly explores the paradoxical contradictions of Los
Angeles and its hapless inhabitants. The smell of night jasmine
juxtaposes with the stench of the morgue...an actress with a "show biz"
sensuality hides her true self in plain sight...and all the sleights of
hand resonate in the book's first line:<br />
<br />
<i>What's real?</i><br />
<br />
At
its core, the mystery explores love in its various forms and disguises.
Twists, turns and double-crosses abound. Enough to keep the pages
turning, but not so complicated or overloaded with characters that it
ever feels unwieldy.<br />
<br />
All in all, a fun read—unless you
are living in L.A., in which case you might have fun while also thinking
about leaving town; or if you are the optimistic type, you might find
yourself looking forward to a sequel!<br />

<br />
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of hearing Los Angeles writing coach, Elaine Ash, speak on the topic of "Self- Editing for Authors" at the monthly <a href="http://sistersincrimela.com/" target="_blank">Sisters in Crime</a> meeting. If you've never been to a Sisters in Crime meeting, and you're an aspiring crime writer living in the vicinity of their meeting place, the South Pasadena Library, I urge you to attend their free meetings, which always feature a riveting speaker.<br />
<br />
Elaine Ash is an engaging speaker who shows up with a well organized and entertaining presentation that included a handout with insightful tips guaranteed to get any writer's motor running. The headings included:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>"Develop First - Everything Else Can Wait"</b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>"Get The Most Out of Your Writers' Group"</b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>"Too Many Characters"</b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>"Deconstructing Successful Novels for Structure"</b></li>
<li><b>"The Feather Edit" </b></li>
</ul>
As a publicist<b> </b>and book reviewer, the "too many characters" totally resonated.<b> </b>For me, few things are more frustrating than settling down to read a newly published indie novel, only to find a few pages in that I need to write down the 10 characters who were introduced before I got to page 4 (and draw a map of the tangled backstory while I'm at it)<b>. </b>As readers, we wish someone had tipped off the writer that confusion overload can lead to a reader closing the cover, never to open it again--<i>unless it's for love or money.</i><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I can honestly say that writers should never trust themselves with "The Buck Stops Here" self-editing approach. To be truly successful, most writers need a specialist who can tip them off when the story isn't working, and guide them back on track. <br />
<b><br /></b>
Ash combine her prodigious analytic gifts with solid knowledge of screenwriting fundamentals (Hollywood may not have invented story structure, but they sure as heck have refined it). She even supplied an actor to read bits of passages to drive home points. <br />
<br />
And one more thing:<br />
<br />
I love the term "feather edit"? Sounds so easy, it makes me want to do one right this very minute.<br />
<br />

<b>AUTHOR INTERVIEW:</b><br />
<i><b>Interview with Author Jennifer K. Jordan: “I wanted to give a snapshot of fathers’ wisdom from across the world.” </b></i><br />
<br />
What
began as a simple tribute to honor the wisdom and love of her father
became a life-altering journey for Jennifer K. Jordan, author of DADLY
Wisdom. Recently Jordan sat down with journalist/blogger Marlan
Warren to reveal her 14-year process to gather insights from fathers
she believes (according to the book’s back cover) “represent humanity at
its best.”<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Did any of the interviews surprise you? </b> <br />
<br />
<b>A:</b>
All of the interviews did that. Every time I interviewed a father, I
was so impressed and moved that I thought I could never meet another
such fine human being. I was in awe of all the fathers and their love
for their children, and their dedication to helping their families no
matter what. <br />
<br />
I was surprised when Cain Credicott spoke to me for
two hours for his interview. He is extremely busy as the
Editor-in-Chief of Paleo Magazine, so I didn’t think his interview would
be so long. <br />
<br />
When I listened to Bernard Sayone and Tomas Kovar
talk about their experiences in the Holocaust, I was constantly amazed. I
learned more about the Holocaust from interviewing them than I had in
any school, book or film. Bernie and Tomas also inspired me because they
now work to promote peace in the world instead of being victims of such
a difficult past. <br />
<br />
<b>Q: How did you select the fathers? </b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b> I
interviewed over 100 fathers, but I included 52 in the book because
some of the stories were too similar. Also, I interviewed some fathers
back in 2000-2002, and when I started working on the project again in
2013, I was not able to contact them. Each father had to sign a release
form so that I could use his story in the book.<br />
<br />
I looked for
fathers who had a reputation for being wise, successful professionally
and with their families. I also looked for people who had a service
ethic for contributing to their community in addition to their family. <br />
<br />
I
asked people for referrals of wise fathers from local areas, other
states and other countries. Sometimes a father whom I interviewed then
referred me to other wise fathers whom he knew. I also looked for
fathers who represented different professions, ethnicities, religions,
races, geographic locations and family structures. Thus, I interviewed a
couple of single fathers and a gay father in order to honor all voices
of fatherhood. I wanted to give a snapshot of fathers’ wisdom from
across the world.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Q: Are you still in touch with any of the fathers? </b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b>
I am still in contact with some of the fathers from the book, and I’m
sure that many of the fathers interviewed would come to an event
featuring <i>DADLY Wisdom</i>. <br />
<br />
<b>Q: What was the most challenging aspect in putting this book together?</b> <br />
<br />
<b>A:
</b>The hardest part of doing the book was getting release forms and essay
reviews back from fathers. Many of the fathers are extremely busy and
didn't have time to get things back to me right away. For instance,
Congressman Alan Lowenthal would often be in Washington, D.C., so I had
to wait awhile to interview him and get his release form.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
One
very sad situation involved one of the fathers whom I had interviewed in
the early 2000s by phone when he was in Tel Aviv, Israel. He was a
cross-cultural psychologist who dealt with Arab/Israeli conflict
resolution. I received word that he had passed away, and I was unable to
contact his family members; so I could not include his story. <br />
<br />
When I asked him what he thought the solution was to the Middle East conflict, he replied, "Humanity has to grow up." <br />
<br />
It was hard making cold calls asking for interviews, but I did! <br />
<br />
<b>Q: What was your happiest moment when you felt "Yes! This is all worth it!"?</b> <br />
<br />
<b>A:</b>
I always felt it was worth it. Fourteen years ago, I felt spiritually
called to write it. Every interview blessed me more than words can
express. I cried after almost every one because I was so moved by what
the fathers shared. They all spoke from their heart, which was amazing
since most had just met me. <br />
<br />
I’ve had great fun delivering the
book to local fathers who were not able to attend the book launch. I
felt like Santa. All of them were so happy to receive the book, and I
felt incredible joy being able to share the book’s love and message. <br />
<br />
I
also received cards from some of the fathers. John Solheim, CEO of
Ping, wrote me a letter that brought me to tears—telling me how honored
he felt to be in the book. I felt so honored to have him in the book. <br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Q: Are you working on another book? </b><br />
<br />
<b>A:
</b> I feel called to write my children’s book on anorexia that will give a
wise message of healing, loving one’s body and choosing life-giving
actions. <br />
<br />
<b>Q: If you could choose three words to describe your own father's wisdom, what would they be? </b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b>
Succinct, simple, sane, realistic, balanced, fun-filled, gentle,
relaxed, joy-filled, promoting joy and enjoying life. I could not pick
just three. I learned more from what he did and how he lived than from
what he said. My father worked hard, had professional success and played
a lot. He was “forever young.” And he loved my mom, brother and me. <br />
<br />
<b>Q: Did your father ever say or do something that you never forgot, and helped you in the making of this book? </b><br />
<br />
<b>A:</b> “You can do the deal.” My father was no longer alive when I returned to
writing the book in 2013, but he used to say that to me about doing other
matters. His words gave me courage and confidence that I could finish this
“deal.” I've always been tenacious, and I will continue to be so to help get
the word out about this book.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Seattle, WA—Kari Hock, Managing Editor of Seattle’s Green
Darner Press, has announced plans to release Gail Noble-Sanderson’s “The
Lavender House in Meuse” in October of this year. The novel charts the post-war
course of healing taken by a young nurse traumatized by her tragic experiences
at the Front during World War I.<br />
<br />
“This book will fill an important niche often overlooked in fiction and
non-fiction: how Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder affected nurses in our First
World War,” said Hock. “Military nurses still suffer this syndrome, making the
topic more relevant than ever.”<br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“Freedom seldom takes us where we thought
we were going.”<br />
—The Lavender House in Meuse<br />
<br />
</b>Set in France, “The Lavender House in Meuse” traces the journey of Marie
Durant Chagall from girlhood to adulthood; from her comfortable home in
Marseille with her father and sister to the Front where she pursues her need
for independence and service as a young woman; and finally to an inherited,
rather isolated, country home by the Meuse River (surrounded by soothing
lavender fields) where she seeks to heal, through solitude and nature, from
trauma suffered in a bomb attack on her medical facility at The Front. She is
not alone for long and soon finds herself caring for recovering soldiers in her
new home while trying to process their pain and her own in this post-war
setting.<br />
<br />
Although the novel will be categorized as “Historical Fiction,” Noble-Sanderson
has reason to believe the events actually happened, and the characters
portrayed once lived. During a recent interview with book news blogger Marlan
Warren (Roadmap Girl’s Book Buzz), Noble-Sanderson stated: “I believe all the
characters, settings, dialogue and details are memories.”<br />
<br />
Noble-Sanderson went on to explain that she can be in the middle of traffic,
watering her garden, doing laundry or fishing on a lake, and “I will remember
events, clearly ‘hear’ dialogue, and see the setting vividly in my mind.”<br />
<br />
The Seattle-based author added: “I take advantage of those times when the flow
of the story—the memories—are most vivid. Then I edit and hone the writing.”<br />
<br />
When asked if she intended the story to be “anti-war,” Noble-Sanderson replied
that acts of wartime atrocities always result in “wounds and deaths of many
sorts, and scars that continue to fester and alter the character of our lives
in countless ways.”<br />
<br />
“Ultimately I hope readers will come away with an expanded understanding of
what life was like for nurses in World War I,” said Noble-Sanderson. “And what
the trauma of war can do to an individual, and to a nation, both culturally and
emotionally.”<br />
