I have always liked Michael Moore. When I saw Roger and Me when I was seventeen, I was amazed by how smart, funny and sad it was. I loved his TV show TV Nation and when he came to Berkeley, I went to hear him read twice and I have two signed books by him. I agree with a lot he says.

Finally, I can stop holding my breath! Just Breathe has had a long and winding road to publication, and I’m grateful to readers everywhere for their patience. Now I’m proud to say the book is finally in stores (August 26). This is a story straight from the heart about one woman’s shattered dreams...

I'm reading a riveting memoir of mental illness and recovery called GET ME OUT OF HERE by Rachel Reiland. I came upon it when browsing in a bookstore, and the first few pages swept me away. Money being tight, I then checked it out of the library. I started reading in earnest today, and the book's...

Why would an author ever give away a book? A whole book, that took months, maybe years, to write? It's a big question today, as publishers and authors both struggle to find readers in an online world that's increasingly made up of free content.
I've become one of those authors, by making...

It wasn't so long ago that my nightstand was literally tipping over from the stack of books piled upon it.
Most all of them I'd read before. So why were they there, threatening to push my bedside lamp right off the edge onto the floor?
I nearly always read at least a few pages before drifting off...

I clearly remember those days when myself and my classmates used to have a lot of fun, playing games during the free period, and enjoying ourselves. In class 6th, we were introduced to our school'd Library, through a special weekly Library hour. I hadn't seen so many books at a single place before...

My two favorite things are the ocean and reading. Any time I can read while sitting on the beach, listening to the waves and the seagulls, there's very little that makes me happier. A number of years ago a friend and I headed over to Morro Bay, California for a week's vacation. It was a great...

I'm still not sure about this site, but it does seem that people are checking out my page from time to time. I am reading Night Shift by King. I read it when it first came out and it seems so much better this time around.
I am working on editing a novel that has been accepted by my publisher. I am...
