• What I Learned About Openness in Adoption By Writing a Book on Open Adoption

  
  — Authority:
  Happy blogoversary to me! Six years ago today I popped my blogging cherry with a short post about my intent to join the Barren Bi+ches Book Brigade. We were soon to discuss Peggy Orenstein’s fabulous Waiting for Daisy, and that book tour turned out to be my entrée into the ALI (Adoption/natal Loss/Infertility) ...

• Mark Schorers "Sinclair Lewis: An American Life": Book Review

  
  — Authority:
  I used to see a used copy of this at the UCLA Librarys secondhand sale room. Once, I picked it up, leafed idly through, and wondered what author merited such heft. I put it back on the shelf. Over 860 pages, it sat there my whole grad school stint. Coming back, after only reading "Babbitt" sometime in those formative ...

• A Quickie

  
  — Authority:
  Not a full post, just two alerts — one an invitation and the other an announcement: 1. Melissa at Stirrup Queens is graciously hosting a virtual book club tour of my book today. It feels a bit voyeuristic to listen in on conversations about my creation, but I’m enjoying myself immensely as I hop around [...]

• Sinclair Lewis "It Cant Happen Here": Book Review

  
  — Authority:
  I recommend this deft audiobook rendering by Christopher Hurt of Sinclair Lewis last true success, "It Cant Happen Here" (1935)  predicting an alternate history. Its strange as it happens almost as its published, more or less. A 1936 FDRs re-election gets shunted aside for a corn-pone fascist recalling that played by ...

• Come what May...

  
  — Authority:
  May has been a happening month so far.Both in good ways and bad. But we wont discuss the bad. I am trying to be in peace with the fact that --"If things are not in my control, I better not break my head trying to control them". Is that a saying or did I just make it up ? If I made it up, that will be my first quote. ...

• Tuesday Tease: Carrot Cake

  
  — Authority:
  I know were all getting really sick of cake right about now, but its either another photo of cake or a minute-by-minute account of my day today, which was mainly spent engaged in a lot of premenstrual moping around. Cake? I thought so.

• Sinclair Lewis "Elmer Gantry": Audiobook Review

  
  — Authority:
  After finishing this, I learned it won a 2009 audiobook award. Certainly, Anthony Healds masterful performance swings and swirls you into the first couple of decades of the last century vividly and adroitly. While the Burt Lancaster film portrayal of Elmer Gantry remains the most recognized version of Sinclair ...

• Exploring Stone Church Cave

  
  — Authority:
  Exploring Stone Church Cave, originally uploaded by Mic2006. When the railway engineers sealed Stone Church Cave they must have thought they’d done a pretty thorough job, and in reading E.D. Ongley’s 1965 BA. thesis, I had thought the same myself, however, on the off chance there might be some surface clues I ...

  Chapter Two of my alien invasion thriller, SUICIDE SKIN , now posted online for your entertainment: Max sucks air into her lungs, face-down on the train platform with a big-ass BART cop pressing his weight on her shuddering body. “Calm down, Miss!” he yells into her ear. Smells like he’s had Taco Bell. ...

• PhotoSync App Review On iPhone, iPad, Mac And Windows 8 PC

  
  — Authority:
  PhotoSync has been one of my very first file transferring and syncing apps. I’ve already reported about PhotoSync eleven months before (with special focus on the settings!). But how is PhotoSync App doing right now? Almost perfectly: The PhotoSync Companions are running stably both on Windows 8 (version 1.6.4 ...

• Sinclair Lewis "Babbitt": Audiobook Review

  
  — Authority:
  Ive been on a Sinclair Lewis kick the past year. I reviewed the audiobooks of "It Cant Happen Here," and "Main Street," the Library of Americas volume of his earlier novels (including "Babbitt"), and the biographies by Richard Lingeman and Mark Schorer. These all helped me understand what the library labels as his ...

  Today is the Kentucky Derby ... and who knew that event and papercrafting could go so hand in hand! A few of my co-workers were involved in a huge gala last night here in Rockford. The proceeds of this event went to help a cancer resource center. What a great cause ... and with all those that I know that have ...

• Stories @ Folsom Street

  
  — Authority:
  I know what you’re thinking. “A reading? In a bookstore? Will David Sedaris be there? No? Um, well, you see, I have to clean out my lint trap that day. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but this is International Masturbation Month , and ‘clean my lint trap’ is a euphemism! Ha ha!” I will not hold a gun to ...

• Sinclair Lewis "Main Street": Audiobook Review

  
  — Authority:
  I enjoyed Brian Emersons reading of this classic. Although a Goodreads commenter panned this for its lack of nuance or emotion, I wonder if this commenter listened to this all the way through. I did, and after over a month of my commute with this as my companion, I recommend it. The Widow Bogart gains a wonderfully ...

  If you’re anything like I use to be (truth be told, I still am), then you probably have Bible study notes in multiple notebooks. Amazon has a service (Createspace) that I use to publish my books and they’ve just made a huge change. You can now publish your Bible study notes as a paperback book [...]

  Chapter One of my online novel Suicide Skin is now posted. It’s a thriller about a girl, a monkey, and an alien invasion. “She blinks, and finds herself holding a miniature blow torch, staring into the corner of the room above her brother’s garage, where she’s lived for the past 263 days…”

• Sinclair Lewis "Main Street + Babbitt": Book Review

  
  — Authority:
  Relevance: a word often associated nowadays with a writer whom many (Mark Schorers 1961 biography seems to blame) regarded as "the worst {American?} ever to win a Nobel." When some of us wonder if the political and cultural divisions that persist and morph in our nation have deeper roots than the newest pundit on ...

• The Six-Hundred and Eighty-Four Cents (After Taxes) Bionic Man

  
  — Authority:
  Spent the morning plugged into a treadmill at Kaiser in an effort to find out why I haven’t been breathing like my old self. Electrodes and wires dangling everywhere. Have they made bionic lungs yet? Are they covered? Will people make fun of my now-patchy chest hair? While not breathing, I started thinking about ...
