Recently, I sent out press releases on the blogbook that I'm creating about the Mississippi Delta and the 1955 murder of 14-year-old Chicagoan Emmett Till.

What every person seeks, searches, aches and yearns for… is to fall in love. To REALLY fall in love. To find that special ‘someone’ who sees, knows, accepts and loves them in a profound way and be able to give the same in return. We have been told that that incredibly heady and highly desirable experience and feeling, is NOT real and is only fleeting infatuation. But the truth is it is that this experience is the ONLY thing that IS real. It is the moment in which we see and reflect the highest… Continue

There's a warning in 12-step programs, whose members are notorious for running away: Where you go, you bring yourself. A card-carrying member of diverse versions of those programs and plenty cynical since I am a serial runaway I expected that to be the theme of "The Mango Tree Cafe." It wasn't. Actually, it was a combo platter of Wally Lamb and Joseph Campbell.
Today we were absolutely thrilled by a comment made by noted novelist and champion of the Free e-Day movement - Dan Holloway in his blog.
In the entry Dan says, "not only do they care about writers - they listen to writers. They respond swiftly to feedback - they will even try to make changes. They actually want to give writers a tool that works for them. And they've succeeded. Bookbuzzr… Continue
