blog tour interview with sally hanan
1. What do I love about writing?
I love writing because it allows me to express my true feelings about any subject I choose to write about. Freedom of expression and writing is important and after retiring from teaching I realized that I there were so many new things I could learn to do and wanted to try. I have always loved writing poems, short stories and reviewing books that my friends would write or short stories that they wanted an honest opinion about. Writing is an art. Writing children’… Continue

Bertha Fights Back is being edited and the Alzheimer's Project is in construction or still in the preliminary stages
After writing two books and some short stories I decided to write something much different. I am writing a book about Alzheimer's to honor my mom who has the illness. I am doing research to learn more about the disease and will include it in the book. I want this book to be not only about my mom and her words to you and everyone before the illness really took over, but a resource to help others understand how vital it is for everyone to help fight for a cure. This disease has no cure and those w… Continue

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
with a wild imagination running through the sparks.
Thanks for you input on my book review problem. That sounds like a good solution! It would be an honest one for me, which is very important. I do have a few books ahead of hers. I was thinking of writing a polite letter that gave her the choice of me writing my honest review (I advertise that). I always look for something redeeming in books like you do. There's nothing in this. It's awful!
Deb :-)
