| Announcement: Got the damn thing published AT LAST!!! |
| Posted: lin robinson @ Thu Aug 07, 2008 5:38 am |
My book “Imaginary Lines” is just out on the new adoro books imprint… OVER TEN YEARS after I wrote that stuff!!!
All of the work in the book was published back in the mid-nineties, articles I co-wrote with Guadalajara/Tijuana writer Ana Maria Corona Espinosa. They all ran in good markets, from the San Diego weekly to Harpers magazine. And then… nothing. I’ve had more almosts and “we love it, but we’re going out of business” and “yeah, sure, but first we want to scr...

| Announcement: Twas the night before publication |
| Posted: kharrington @ Tue Apr 01, 2008 4:08 am |
Twas the night before publication, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except my computer mouse.
A few author copies were stacked on the table with care,
In hopes that St. Oprah, would one day be there.
My children were nestled and snug in their beds,
While visions of royalty checks danced in their heads.
And hubby by the TV, and I by my dog,
I’d just settled down to write a new blog.
When out on the porch there arose such a clatter,
I...

| Announcement: T Minus 30 Days to Publication |
| Posted: kharrington @ Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:34 pm |
In just under 30 days, my novel JANEOLOGY will be launched into the world. Yikes!
So if you don't mind, I thought I would chronicle the run up to the publication date with what I'm doing, what's helpful, what I'm learning from other, seasoned authors, and most importantly, how to cope on four daily cups of coffee and four hours sleep.
Maybe you’ll get sick of me. Maybe you won’t. Maybe I’ll get sick of me. Probably.

| Announcement: Attn: Book Clubs! Whale Song discussion guide now available! |
| Posted: cherylktardif @ Sun Jan 13, 2008 2:55 am |
Whale Song is the perfect choice for book clubs and schools!
Not only is Whale Song a “beautiful” and “compelling” novel, it has had an emotional impact on many readers and it explores numerous topics. Reading it, you will learn about living in an isolated town, the lives of killer whales, west coast native traditions and legends, the effects of racism, the impact of bullying and abuse, the choice and consequences of assisted death, the depth of a parent’s love, and surviving grea...

| Announcement: Medium premiere - "And Then" the writers went home |
| Posted: cherylktardif @ Wed Jan 09, 2008 2:36 am |
When I sat down to watch the highly anticipated season premiere of Medium, one of my favorite shows, my first reaction to the episode titled "And Then", was: "Good God, what did they do with the writers?" I am not sure if this was the product of the writers' strike or if it was taped earlier, but the episode was flat, predictable and...in one word, BORING. Sorry, NBC.
Spoiler alert!
In the premiere, we are given a recap of what happened last season and left with a depr...

Holiday Book Contest
( Part II )
OK – I hear you.
In response to a number of e mails that pretty much said, “Hey, Ric –what are you using for brain cells, pal. As much as I’d like to enter the contest and win free books or bookplates, there’s no way, I’m gonna be able to find the time to squeeze in a read before Christmas!”
In fact an e mail that I received yesterday, suggested that I extend the contest through the end of the year.
Not a bad idea.
So, OK – consi...

| Announcement: Passim Charity Auction a Big Success ! |
| Posted: ric wasley @ Thu Dec 06, 2007 9:14 am |
In answer to several e-mails about this event, Yes! It was a great success.
I don’t have the final total yet but, from what I saw on Sunday, many thousands of dollars were raised to benefit the multicultural Culture for Kids program and the Passim School of Music
It was a real kick for an old "Folkie" like me to see all of the cool stuff that Betsy the owner of Passim had rounded up for the auction. One of my favorites of the night was one of her personal B&W photos of Dyla...
