Where Awesome Book Readers Meet Awesome Writers

1. The Torturer’s Daughter by Zoe Cannon -

   Zoe Cannon writes about the things that fascinate her: outsiders, societies no sane person would want to live in, questions with no easy answers, and the inner workings of the mind. If she couldn't be a writer, she would probably be a psychologist, a penniless philosopher, or a hermit in a cave somewhere. While she'll read anything that isn't nailed down, she considers herself a YA reader and writer at heart. She lives in New Hampshire with her husband and a giant teddy bear of a dog, and spends entirely too much time on the internet.

4. Not So Innocently Abroad -

   Ken Richters first began performing in the early 1970's as a singer and featured dancer with a number of regional theaters throughout New England. Since that time, he has displayed a unique blending of talents rarely seen in a single performer. A familiar face to television audiences around the country, he has been seen in a number of weekly series and made-for-television movies. His motion picture work includes a starring role in the award-winning independent film “Jean,” which was produced by Tom Fontana. His performance as Mark Twain was first brought to national acclaim in 1981. Following a sold-out engagement in Washington, D.C., television newscasters from across the country had great fun covering Twain's salty comments to members of the United States Congress. Since that time, the production has been performed more than 1000 times in all 50 states, Canada, and Europe. The millennium found Ken Richters as Mark Twain sharing the stage with another great American author, Tom Wolfe, as part of Harper’s Magazine star-studded 150th Anniversary Gala celebration in New York. Following that performance, PBS had him provide the voice of Mark Twain for their controversial series “Culture Shock—Challenging Art.” Between television and motion picture engagements, he has performed extensively in the legit end of show business, starring in such live stage productions as “Big River,” “Oklahoma,” “They're Playing Our Song,” “Promises Promises,” “Company,” “George M,” and “Die Fledermaus.” Well known for his considerable vocal range, he has been the on-camera and live industrial spokesman for more than 50 large U.S. and European corporations, including the IBM, and Lloyds of London. Television and radio commercial credits include “Coca-Cola,” “AT&T,” and “Federal Express.” Visitors to the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. can hear Ken's work with Walter Cronkite narrating the history of Fast Attack Submarines. In addition, Ken spends time each year working on a number of special projects. He has been the opening act for many show-business veterans including The Temptations, Roberta Flack, the late Laura Branigan and Henny Youngman, and The Smothers Brothers; co-starred with Academy Award actress Nina Foch in her life's retrospective, “An Evening with Nina Foch.” He often works behind-the-scenes doing private coaching and consultation with corporate executives, politicians, and bestselling authors, to assist them in preparing for public appearances.

8. Deja Vu of Love The Beginning -

   Welcome! I am glad you stopped by I hope you enjoy your visit. I love writing Chick Lit/ Romance. I recently re-edited and reapplied the lipstick of my Chic Lit Serial,Deja Vu of Love. The series starts off with Deja Vu of Love The Beginning which of course is the first book of the story in the Deja Vu Series. This time I remembered to blot,and blend all three parts of the book. As a writer I am partial to using a third person multiple POV style of writing. Although not well known it is frequently used in Romance and other genre's where multiple point of views add to the depth and value of the story line, and character interactions. I also prefer moving the story along through the use of dialogue versus narrative. I think it's because I enjoy giving a distinct voice to all my characters. As a writer I believe that dialogue helps define the characters as people. I write about real women with flaws who are strong and confident and ready to live life. I really enjoy watching my characters grow and change as the story of their lives unfolds. I try not to be to much of a control freak and let the characters write the story, after all it is there life. So if you are a reader who likes to hear the voice of your characters and share their POV I am your next favorite writer LOL Just a little something about me I am a retired Actress, Director,Choreographer, who discovered her real passion in life, was writing. I have two sons Zachary and Garette my oldest son Zach just made a gift of a daughter of love Keri and her beloved girl Starla into my life. I also have two doggie kids Hazel and Harry. My free time is spent in the garden enjoying nature, decorating, and writing. I would love to have feedback from readers I think we are always curious about what people think of our work. So my suggestion is you go get a great glass of red wine, start the bubble bath grab a couple of chocolate covered caramels with sea salt.Then enjoy a little you time with a good book. I hope you love and enjoy reading the characters with minimally twice the enjoyment I had writing them to life. Please pass the link to my book page to your address and Facebook people;if you believe I am worthy of a personal recommendation. May you enjoy all the bad boys of romance with none of the pain.

13. Hillary Clinton: 10 Lessons in Leadership -

    This passion for books developed into an even greater passion for writing. My formal educational pursuits allowed me to delve deeper into writing and I always gravitated toward the writing based courses. As I entered the workforce in my early 20′s, I quickly began receiving writing assignments from my bosses that ranged from white papers to producing submissions to the Board of Directors where millions of dollars in funding was being requested. My ability to write clearly, concisely and under time constraints was a huge confidence booster for me.

    Cori Shepherd Stern wrote her first book when she was fifteen and convinced her mother to let her fly from her small Florida hometown to Manhattan so she could get an agent, which she did by randomly calling agents from the phone book. After landing a Big New York Agent, she promptly developed a mad case of writer's block and began a lifetime of avoiding agents' calls regarding where she was on her rewrite. She went on to become an Oscar-nominated producer and writer, procrastinating on projects as varied as 2013 Academy-nominated documentary OPEN HEART, Hollywood big screen zombie love story WARM BODIES, and tween television series BREAKER HIGH starring Ryan Gosling. She has also spent quite a bit of time abroad living and working in conflict zones, which proved to be much more relaxing than avoiding her rewrites.

29. Self Help Masters – Eckhart Tolle: A Review of Life Changing Works -

    Welcome! My name is Sid Akula, and I write [primarily] How-To and Self Improvement books. Growing up in middle America as a youth and a young adult, I usually made things happen in my life that required a ton of hard work (notice I didn't say smart work) but I accomplished several things I set out for including a family, higher education and a well-paying career. However, I could always feel that something was missing, and that I was an underachiever. After a somewhat devastating life event, I decided to stop and take a look at my life from ground zero - and thus began my journey into deep self improvement. After several years in this mode, I began thinking, "You know, I just might be an acceptable source to pass on much of this new found knowledge, experience and inspiration." And so, here we are... I hope that one or more of my books may be of great help to you or someone you care about. Please feel free to let me know if I've done my job. =) Happy reading!

30. Healthy Aging for Women over 50 -

    To share some of my personal experiences and help women over 50 to attain the correct mindset to plan for the future, and embrace age gracefully. Although this book was written for women over 50, I believe that women under fifty can actually benefit as well by gaining valuable information on fitness, weight loss, nutrition and exercise. By the time they turn fifty, they would be well informed on various issues that affect aging and they will be prepared. Some of the conditions and diseases mentioned in the book can actually affect women under fifty, so these women would gain an insight on when and where to go for check–ups on some of these treacherous deseases that come with aging. This book is to empower women to see the positive in things, and not weigh themselves down with negative thoughts and emotions.

38. A Chain of Flames -

    Tony describes himself as a 'refugee' from the city of Flint, Michigan. In the 1970's, his hometown was considered to be the Mecca of America's blue collar workforce. All of that changed in the latter part of that decade when the automobile industry began laying off workers by the Tens of Thousands. An American way of life was changed forever and Tony was there to witness it firsthand. In the 1980's, as a young man, Tony found himself in Oklahoma City, where he held the dubious honor of being the 'highest earning bartender' in 3 states. So his employers would tolerate his propensity for witnessing to customers, co-workers and on one occasion, a professed Satan worshiper, from across the bar. Tony would tell these people he would encounter about how 'Jesus could change their lives,' and many listened. For this, however, he was denied membership at a local church. The reason? He 'fraternized with sinners.' In the mid 1990′s, Tony was in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There he broke traditional 'fry-bread' with a very old Native American couple in their modest pueblo home on the reservation. They talked about religions, about 'hospitality,' and about the priceless thousand year old clay pots that lined on their mantle. In the 2000's Tony was living in Indianapolis, Indiana. He and wife Karen went there knowing that they had no jobs lined up, no house to live in, and no family or friends there to help them. They were about $40,000.00 in debt and they had two small kids in tow... but they also believed that God had sent them. Within less than four years, God not only allowed them to get completely out of debt and buy a house of their own, but they bought several - some for rental properties, and some to fix-up and resell. In both 'paying it back' while 'paying it forward,' Tony continued in his witnessing efforts, speaking to tenants and to those whom he would help to purchase their very own first homes. In the 2010's Tony and Karen moved to NW Arkansas where they currently live and where they continue to seek God's guidance every day. Tony Cleaver's debut novel, A Chain Of Flames, is a story about how different people - some on the front of society and some on the fringe - are able to find their way to God . . . or how God leads them, despite their disasters, their difficulties or their levels of malcontent. In creating uniquely rich characters, with intricately interwoven story lines, Tony draws from the extraordinary events of his own personal experiences.
