STORYBOOK II, by Elena Dorothy Bowman

      Within the pages of this book are stories that my mother once told me; of certain incidences that she remembered. But mostly it is compiled of the memories that were a part of all our lives.
    There were happy times and there were sad times. It was a time of struggle, of prosperity, of joblessness, of wondering where the next paycheck would come from.  Times when a “breadwinner” didn’t have the money to buy a quart of milk, put bread on the table, or a dime to ride the trolley to work. Even a time when the poor didn’t know they were poor. But always, a family that stood together no matter what problems they were facing.

   Winner of the Stonewall Society's 2002 Pride in the Arts Literary Award in the Whodunit Category!

REAP THE WHIRLWIND: Killian Kendall Mystery Series, Vol. 2,  by Josh Aterovis.

Jack's News!

  by your bookstore cat, 
and gossip columnist!

Hey, Elena Bowman. How are you doing? I heard you were sick and was wondering about STORYBOOK II. Sure hope you are feeling better and that we will get the stuff we need to finish your book soon.

 

FINALLY! PIRATES has gone to press.  Andy Nunez is setting up a speaking tour, and personal appearances even before he has a copy in his hand. Promotion is the name of the game for him, by golly! Always has been.

 

He's not only a super writer, but an artist as well. I think he did a great picture of Blackbeard and the others on this cover. Don't you? Arline is sure relieved. Lots of illustrations in this one and she had almost forgotten how to do them.

 

Roger had a birthday yesterday! He said it was "the big 8-0!" Whatever that means. I'll be nine in June. 

 

Boy was he grumpy when he got home from the drug store. One prescription was "three hundred smackers." He said it was "highway robbery." I wonder what a smacker is. Maybe some kind of fish? I like fish. 

 

Anyway keep thinking of me and send me an e-mail if you have any kind of promotions or public appearances going one  and I'll let folks know about it here.

Don't forget to let me know what you are all up to! 
Just send me an e-mail with "News for Jack" in the subject line, and I'll make sure it shows up right here. 
Thanks!
