William Phelps' books, I personally believe this is his best one yet. Death Trap is a minor mystery by John D MacDonald, and it is a by the numbers mystery with a few flourishes of writing here and there, but nowhere near as good as MacDonalds other writing.

Madagascar meets Gladiator in this exciting, action-packed and hysterically funny story brimming with entertaining Roman facts.
The Adventures of Alfie Onion
A stand-alone comic adventure for younger readers by sublime storyteller Vivian French, with pictures by a talented new illustrator and animator, Marta Kissi. Alfie Onion has just set off on a great adventure … but only to carry his brother’s luggage. It’s his elder brother, Magnifico Onion, who’s destined to win their family a Happily Ever After. But when it turns out Magnifico isn’t half the hero he’s cracked up to be, it falls to Alfie to save the day – with a little help from his loyal dog, a talking horse and a couple of meddling magpies.
Mango & Bambang: Tiny Tapir Trouble
Mango and Bambang’s adventures continue in the third book of this charming illustrated series about a little girl and a tapir, described by The Sunday Times as having “real charm … reminiscent of Paddington.” When a small but mischievous tapir guest comes to stay with Mango Allsorts and Bambang in the busy city, things soon get into a rather troublesome tangle. Tiny Tapir Trouble is Book Three in this delightful series for younger readers.
The kids are so happy with their new books! As you can see, Boo dived straight into Julius Zebra, and she was particularly pleased to receive this one as zebras are her favourite animal and you don’t get that many zebra books! The fact that is also combines a little history really appeals to both of us. She’s just finishing that one and then I think we’ll read Mango & Bambang together, as not only do I adore tapirs (there’s something so cute about their noses!) but I also like the comparison to Paddington Bear so I am keen to read more. That’ll leave us with a fabulous sounding adventure story to round off our reads with, in the shape of The Adventures of Alfie Onion.
Little Adventurers: Leafy the Pet Leaf is a really sweet tale and both of the children enjoy this one, and have since got their own pet leaves, naturally. The gang of kids are funny and the idea behind this series is charming, so we’ll be sure to look out for more Little Adventurers books.
Don’t Call Me Choochie-Pooh makes both of the kids laugh, and I totally agree with the sentiment behind it that dogs should be dogs, no matter their size. It’s a fun read.
Mango & Bambang: Tiny Tapir Trouble and Little Adventurers: Leafy the Pet Leaf are both out this month, the newest of these titles.
I do now have all of these books up for grabs. To be in with a chance of winning them, please enter using the rafflecopter below. The competition is open to UK entrants only and closes at 12am 27th September 2016. Good luck!

This post is explains a bit about how I came to become a librarian and is my contribution to the Library Routes Project.
- Age 6: Hiding in the library of my hippie experimental school in Plattsburgh, NY (waaay up-state New York, on Lake Champlain) reading books about ballet
- Age 8: In our local public library, being amazed that I could read for as long as I wanted on the soft red mat in the children’s section
- Age 15: In Wilmington, Delaware during the summer, going to the big downtown public library after my daily ballet class and reading books I had earlier squireled away (so that no one would find them)
- And, always before long car trips, my parents would take me to the library to pick out a huge pile of books, and this I remember was like taking home a treasure
At the library, books that I randomly found on shelves opened my eyes to different ways of speaking, acting, and being, and I worry that my kids are now not getting such wonderful serendipitous library opportunities that I had with their fast-paced, highly-scheduled, and pre-selected lives.
Throughout university, I always thought that the process of finding information was great fun. For four years, I was lucky to attend Barnard College, the women’s college of Columbia University in New York City, and majored in Cultural Anthropology. I was really passionate about this subject (still am), and spent a lot of time in the many university libraries tracking down articles and books. My undergraduate years saw a transition from print reference sources to online, so that by my senior year, many resources had been digitised. I spent many happy hours figuring out keyword and subject searching.
The whole idea of studying anthropology, for me, was to uncover and clearly explain the mysteries of how others lived. Later I learned that this was a colonial and hegemonic endeavour, with its roots in the European colonisation of the world, but at the time it was utterly fascinating to me. A Barnard anthropology professor influenced me to study North American Indian groups, and I was drawn to the Pacific Northwest area of the US and Canada (it was a hot day that day, and the pictures of the mountains and pine trees looked so cool…). During the summers of my junior and senior years, I lived in Alaska working with native groups there (and went back again for another summer of field work a few years later).
The plan (in my head) was that I was going to earn a PhD in anthropology, become a professor somewhere, and be the next Margaret Mead. My anthropological thinking wasn’t actually that much in the dark ages, as at Barnard I was also hugely influenced by feminism and feminist theories in the social sciences. It’s really hard not to come out of Barnard a feminist – — it was just such an amazingly positive place for young women to find their voice and politics. I was involved in a handful of left-leaning political activities from working at a rape-crisis center to working for the rights of homeless people, and this work has given me a passion for always wanting to fix things (something that serves you well in the library world, I think).
This activism led me to seek an internship in my senior year with the National Council for Research on Women (NCRW), a research center based in New York City which provides an umbrella group for university-based women’s research centres in the US and writes research reports on gender issues for policy leaders. This was a heady place to work, a place where I was exposed to ideas, people — including the brilliant and prolific trio of Mary Ellen Capek, Debra Schultz and Deborah Siegel — and institutions trying to make the world a better place for women and girls. After my second summer in Alaska, I was hired back to work for a year on a few specific projects and reports.
But the passion to be an anthropologist never went away, and I spent much of the autumn of that first year out of university applying for spots in graduate programs throughout the US. I was extremely fortunate at the time to win a fellowship from the National Science Foundation which basically paid for three years of graduate school and a healthy yearly stipend. This fellowship, and my interest in native peoples of the Pacific Northwest, led me eventually to choose the University of Washington as the place where I would earn my PhD.
But then I discovered bibliographies…
NCRW regularly received lists of new books in women’s studies from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Women’s Studies Librarian Office. Part of my job that year at NCRW was to process these bibliographies and note items of interest to our office. A real light bulb went off after reading one or two. I had a true epiphany. I honestly could not believe that someone was getting paid to pull these bibliographies together. It was my dream job! All of a sudden, I realised that I enjoyed the search for information far more than I enjoyed synthesising it. It was a revelation! NCRW happened to have the Peterson’s Guide to US Graduate Schools in its office, and I looked up library school programs. Again, I couldn’t believe what I was reading — actually, I didn’t understand it all, but somehow the descriptions of these programmes seemed like such a good fit. I spent a lot of time in the Hunter College Libraries (which NCRW was affiliated with) looking at all of their outdated library science books and again couldn’t believe how incredibly interesting the field sounded. Something about it just seemed right. I even wrote away to the ALA to receive information about how to become a librarian.
All of the information I carefully squireled away in a box and brought it with me to the University of Washington where I spent three years in the Department of Anthropology loving my work but secretly dreaming of being a librarian. I would sit in the main library or the special collections unit and spend more time watching the activities of the librarian than doing my work. I would also regularly stand in front of the job board at the library, trying to figure out if I was qualified for any of the positions.
In truth, I was unhappy in the anthropology programme. It was utterly unlike my undergraduate years where I happily immersed myself in the topic. Graduate school was about becoming a professional in a world where funding was tight, jobs scarce, and the entire field of anthropology had become so introspective it seemed impossible ever to utter a single true word about the human condition. I made it through my Master’s, and I am very glad I did, but one day while studying for my generals, I just put down my notes and thought ‘I’m done.’ I had had enough and walked to my advisor and essentially quit. It was this great freeing moment of my life, a walking away from responsibility that I likely never will be able to do again. I walked out of the anthropology building and straight over to the library school (the Univ. of Washington is blessed with an incredible library school…more about that later), got an application, and a few months later, secured myself a spot in the school. I was 25.
And after that, everything just fell into place.
Library school itself was a mixed bag, but on reflection something which strongly influences today my attitude as a librarian. On the negative side, it was populated mostly with faculty who had not changed their curricula for several years and who had not ever (or very long ago) actually worked in a library. Their lack of ability to see the change around them is something I see in many librarians today, and my attitude towards that is still one of incredulousness and amazement. But, on the positive side, the administration of the school were aware of larger social trends, and in the vacuum created by the departure of the long-standing head, filled the spot with a creative, forward-looking director and several younger, more technology-oriented faculty members. I was the student representative chosen to be on the search committee for the new director, and that process of describing and selecting the perfect person to run an ‘information school’ (what the school was at the time was renamed) still in many ways is a road map for my own professional attainment.
Early on in library school, I had a definite knack for technology, surprising for me as before then I might had described myself as a Luddite. But the winds of change at the library school, coupled with a few technology-oriented faculty there, and the larger technology-rich university and Seattle area (Microsoft and dot-com boom, anyone?) environment swept me up. Through the incredible uni computer science department, I soon learned how to make web pages, and do computer programming, usability testing and technical writing.
I also found that I was a good reference librarian, and quickly had a few overlapping part-time jobs at a time with the university library, including a coveted one-year internship with the Suzzallo & Allen Libraries — where I got to meet the wondrous Nancy Huling, head of the reference department — two years in the collection development department – under the aegis of the graceful Linda Di Biase — one year at the information desk, and, perhaps luckiest of all, one year running the brand new Grants and Funding Information Service.
I actually disliked library school — it was a bore after the three intense years of the anthropology Master’s, but my on-the-job experiences more than compensated for the tediousness of the courses. Somehow, the plan was to combine reference and technology, though I wasn’t sure exactly at the time, how it would happen.
And then I took a short workshop on setting up computer local area networks…
Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and long-time resident of the Seattle area, had (and continues to have) a strong philanthropic bent (inherited likely from his mother’s lifelong work with charities). The Microsoft Foundation during the years I was in library school provided some seed money to begin to explore putting computers, hooked up to the Internet, in public libraries in impoverished areas of the United States (of which, sadly, there are many). The effort in its infancy was run out of an office in downtown Seattle where they experimented with the best ways of configuring and networking PCs to be sent out to libraries. They were a few very technology-minded librarians, and they invited students from the library school for a two-day workshop in setting up LANs. I went, thinking that it might be something interesting to know about, and lo and behold, a few months afterwards they contacted me about starting a job there! Asked what area I wanted to focus my energy on — technology, writing, and training were the options, I believe — I said technology.
Working for what very soon became the Library Program of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was a heady experience. The program ramped up very quickly, with new hires (many fresh out of library school) each month. It was a noble effort, a bit like being in the Peace Corps. My role after about a year evolved to manage the department that designed the PCs that went out to libraries. We had a partnership with Gateway Computers, and based on their latest hardware, we would design a prototype that they would mass produce and send to the libraries (accompanied with our documentation — and later, our trainers visited the libraries to do the set up and basic training). I became an expert in making computers from scratch!
From the Gates Foundation, I was recruited to the IT Department of the King County Library System (one of the biggest systems in the US, serving the greater Seattle metro area) to run their ILS (then Dynix). Under the inspiring leadership of Jed Moffitt, I got to help oversee a lot of cutting-edge technology projects (they recently won the Library Journal Library of the Year 2011 award). I also began really to understand there the meaning of good customer service, as my role was often to help fix those tiny but horrible problems that plague staff and their use of technology. Until very recently, I haven’t had to the chance to work in such an innovative and experimental place.
While working at KCLS, I met my future husband and we decided to travel in Europe for a bit, so sadly I said goodbye to Seattle and lived in Germany and Spain for almost a year. Those were fantastic months, where I did little else but get certified to teach English as a Second Language and work on my German and Spanish. At the end of that year of travel, we moved to San Diego to help with a family illness. During that time, I worked part-time (as I had had my first baby) as a reference librarian for the UC San Diego Libraries and the City of Carlsbad Library, again with three hugely influential managers, Tammy Dearie at UCSD and Callie Ahrens and Glynn Birdwell at the Carlsbad Library.
Again, these were very formative times, as I got to immerse myself in the workings of academic and public library enquiry desks, and especially because it was my first experience participating in virtual chat reference, a format I have come passionately to believe is the future of library reference services.
Three years later, my husband had a great career opportunity in Boulder, Colorado, so we were off again! There I had my second baby and was fantastically lucky to work from home, continuing my chat reference work for UCSD (no one had to know I wasn’t actually in California!) and becoming the librarian for the PhD program in Education for Jones International University, a 100% online university based in Denver. These two jobs really finessed my reference skills as well as my ability to deal with users in completely virtual environments — something surprising difficult but immensely rewarding to make connections with folks who were feeling a bit lost in their online studies.
All along, however, my husband I knew we wanted to move to England (where he’s from) and raise our kids there. So even before we moved to Colorado, we were scheming how to make that happen. We knew we had to move before the autumn of 2010, when my first son would be entering Reception, so that was our deadline. Luckily, we were both able to take our jobs with us (again, no one had to know that I wasn’t in the Denver area), and we felt thoroughly modern as we took our online careers with us across the Atlantic. We soon settled quite quickly into living in Cambridge.
My work at the online university was very good — it was quite fun to work with students from around the world from the comfort of my home. But the learning opportunities there had begun to dry up, as I was a contractor and not closely involved with the development of their library services. As I knew we’d be in Cambridge for at least the next 20 years, I decided to see if any positions in the libraries at the University of Cambridge might be suitable. As luck would have it, about three months after arriving the UK, I found a perfect match, and I do mean perfect. My work as the User Experience Librarian for Information & Library Services at the Cambridge Judge Business School is the perfect match for my past experiences and is a wonderfully experimental place to work under the visionary leadership of Andy Priestner.
What a long-winded spiel for what is basically a short story: I have found the perfect profession for myself.


Although we are physically apart, LaGuardia faculty and staff are making extraordinary efforts to foster and sustain connections with students during the remote learning period. To this end, the College is continuing to offer unique, virtual co-curricular opportunities for students during this time, such as workshops around career and professional development, emotional wellness, financial literacy, and adapting to remote-learning technology, among many others.
To support these efforts, the Student Success Team of the CTL has developed a resource library of virtual co-curricular events for LaGuardia students. Originally developed for faculty teaching the First Year Seminar, the resource library has now expanded to include events for all students.
In addition to the date of the event, College area or program sponsoring it, and, if applicable, a link to the virtual space where the event will be held, the library also identifies whether the event is one-time, pre-recorded, or recurring.
Updated regularly by the Student Success Team, the co-curricular library serves as a user-friendly centralized compilation of virtual co-curricular events that can support student learning and engagement. These events can help students to build connections to the College in a time when connections and a sense of community and belonging are more important than ever.
We encourage you to visit the co-curricular library to discover events that can help enrich the remote learning experience for your students.
If your area is planning a virtual co-curricular event that you would like to include in the library, please let us know by emailing David Brandt (firstname.lastname@example.org) and Kayla Williams (email@example.com).


ISJ November 2014: Languages in competition and conflict: mechanisms of linguistic evolution
In this, the centenary year of the outbreak of World War One, the so-called ‘Great War’, historians are sifting the historical record for new perspectives and interpretations of this critically important watershed event in 20th century history. The Great War was an event of unprecedented significance in its scope and influence on all corners of the globe, giving rise to new technologies, new military strategies, new social attitudes, new political alliances, and a rich lexicon of new words to describe the utterly novel experiences of participants in this global conflict. It also set in motion events that continue to resonate in the geopolitical realities of the 21st century.
This article will explore the ways in which language is influenced by sociocultural forces generated by international conflicts such as the Great War and how these influences in turn result in the sometimes subtle and at times far-reaching linguistic transformations. This exploration will deal principally with the emergence of English as a global lingua franca and the mutual interactions between it and another emerging global language: Chinese. The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis of weak and strong linguistic determinism will act as one of the referential frames for this discussion.

Mental Illness: The Necessity for Dependence (Vol. 5)
Most people today believe that psychoactive substances and psychotherapies are proven remedies for mental and behavioral problems categorized in the DSM-5 as mental illnesses. Biological psychiatrists in particular and society in general are convinced not only that psychiatric disorders are biological diseases but also that psychoactive drugs are agents that will fix genetic variances, supply missing chemicals, and correct brain dysfunctions. Furthermore, these drugs are mostly believed to be safe and efficient, and psychiatrists are perceived to be empathetic and scientifically-driven caretakers of the human soul. These beliefs have caused many to depend upon psychiatric theory in attempt to restore their minds.
This volume explores these misconceptions, since the truth is that there exists considerable ignorance on the part of society and extensive deception on the part of pharmaceutical companies and many psychiatrists. These realities sustain the belief that psychotropic drugs and psychotherapies offer the greatest objects of dependence to restore the mind. For example, many people are unaware of the history of how psychoactive drugs came to be viewed as healing mechanisms/legitimate medicine for the soul instead of how they once were viewed: as magical concoctions of the witch doctor/shaman.
This book also addresses the underlying theories and philosophies which have enabled psychotropic drugs and psychotherapies to flourish in today's culture. Many people are unaware that there exist different theories of drug action. The popular psychiatric theory is that psychoactive drugs attack or correct specific diseases, but another theory exists that explains the drug action of psychoactive substances as simply perturbing the nervous system. This book is written not only to educate society, but to also encourage physicians to be safer in their practices and to offer the greatest care to their patients. As with all the volumes in this series of Mental Illness, this book does not simply expose the truth, but it further provides a proven alternative where each reader can place their full dependence to restore the mind to health.

As we age, maintaining mental acuity becomes increasingly important. Reading books challenges the mind, improving cognitive function and memory retention. Engaging with complex narratives and diverse perspectives exercises the brain, helping to stave off cognitive decline and conditions like dementia.
2. Emotional Well-being:
Books have the power to transport us to different worlds, evoke empathy, and offer profound insights into the human experience. For older adults, especially those facing loneliness or isolation, reading provides a comforting companion. Whether it’s through the pages of a beloved novel or the wisdom of a memoir, books offer solace, inspiration, and a sense of connection.
3. Stress Reduction:
Escaping into a good book can be a powerful stress reliever. Immersing oneself in a captivating story allows for a temporary escape from life’s worries and anxieties. The simple act of reading can promote relaxation, lower heart rate, and alleviate tension—a welcome reprieve in today’s hectic world.

An essay on the relationship between george and lennie
Though in pursuing this dream George and Lennie face many difficulties from the opinions of others towards their relationship with each other. In the ranch when everyone else is for themselves George manages to continue to stay with Lennie to ultimately protect and support him. These ideologies have created loneliness and isolation between the people on the ranch. Each of them all desire the comfort and protection of a friend. Though Isolation is almost seen as a norm on the ranch and obligation to each other is almost abnormal.
This in turn presents an issue of distrust between each other. Primarily having an obligation to others creates stronger bond between each other and overall a better relationship.
In conclusion having a companion or obligation to someone brings protection and guidance as opposed to isolation. This is represented many times throughout the novel, between the relationship of George and Lennie.
The Relationship between George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men
They are blessed with each other and it is a prime example of a strong relationship in the novel. At the end of the novel George kills Lennie. George loves Lennie enough to do what is best for him, even though it seems wrong to some. George is a man of great reverence to the feelings and well being of others especially to his best friend Lennie. More then just a storyteller, John Steinbeck was a social critic. His novel Of Mice and Men deals with many themes that reflect the time in which he lived and in which he wrote.

One of the many themes in the novel is loneliness. Crooks, the black stable-hand, is always lonely. George and Lennie travel together and they are never lonely. Curley's wife also suffered from loneliness in the novel. Although Crooks is a good person he is separated from the other men on the ranch because of his color. Crooks color separates him into sleeping into the barn. George is a small, smart-witted man, while Lennie is a large, mentally- handicapped man. They are trying to raise enough money to buy their own ranch, by working as ranch hands.
It is in this setting that the novel reveals that the main theme is death and loss.

Acting on a tip from The Kelly Writers House at my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, I recently learned about, and then read, Alan Light’s book The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley & the Unlikely Ascent of “Hallelujah.” This intrigued me as an admirer of this song in particular, Leonard Cohen’s songwriting and singing generally, and other aspects of his literary art (particularly the incredible novel Beautiful Losers). It also appealed to me as an entire book written about a single, short work. In this case, the work isn’t a Commodore 64 BASIC program – as in the book collaborators and I wrote, 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1));: GOTO 10 – but a popular song with many lines and many covers, one that has been used in a wide variety of contexts.
The author discusses those many contexts well, covering the original release, the famous Jeff Buckley cover, and many other versions. There’s discussion of Shrek, the VH1 9/11 memorial video, manifestations on Idol and X Factor TV shows, and uses in religious ceremonies. The book is not really a deep dive into the music or the lyrics, although the etymology of the world “Hallelujah” and the differences in how the term is used in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles are discussed. Cohen declined to be interviewed, so the book also doesn’t spend too much time on origin myths, just recounting a bit from previous interviews. The book works to tease out the many things the song has meant to people and how it has managed to have all of these meanings.
It’s quite a different book from 10 PRINT, both in methodology and because the BASIC program is quite a bit different, culturally, than the song. I found it a quite enjoyable read.

Being sixteen sure does suck sometimes.
Yet Mike DeVelli Jr. knows he is destined for greatness. His mother always told him so—at least, until the unfortunate day an overdose took her to an early grave. Now he must face the pitying gazes of the students he always struggled to fit in with.
But then he catches the eye of a popular girl at school. They agree to meet, but she fails to show and is soon reported missing. Mike becomes a suspect in her disappearance, and as the investigation mounts, he decides his only option is to find the real culprit.
Getting closer to the truth, he learns that his seemingly ordinary family tree has supernatural roots, and as he comes face to face with a hungry, evil enemy, he discovers a power inside himself that will create a wave of change in the world."
Inspired by the album of the same name, Rawiri James has written a compelling Young Adult mystery thriller that satisfies not only as the self-contained story of Brooklynite Mike DeVelli Jr, but also serves as the beginning of a unique music-and-novel odyssey he hopes will span countries, continents and music genres.
“I had nearly finished recording my album and wanted to find a unique way of presenting the record to a public audience,” James says. “Initially, I was going to create a comic book using some of the lyrics to the songs. Before I knew it, I’d written 25 pages of backstory, all about Mike DeVelli Jr. – a kid with an addictive personality and a superpower to match.”
The result was Rawiri James’s first novel, a feat he completed in just five weeks. “I had planned the story out across the 12 chapters so the process of writing the pages was just a good mix of discipline and excitement. I would start each day thinking about what scene came next, who was winning, who was in pain, and more importantly, who was next to be killed off!”
Uniquely, the 12 chapters of the novel are named after the 12 songs featured on the album. Rawiri says, “the album is my story, for sure. The book is Mike DeVelli Jr.’s story. Thematically there’s a lot of crossover. Really, Mike’s story is about identity, and beginning to understand who you are… the good things and the not-so-good things. DeVelli is a good kid but he makes mistakes. He’s just learning his place in the world. He reminds me of me at sixteen and seventeen.”
Themes of alcoholism and addiction run through the book, with DeVelli Sr. turning to the bottle to cope with grief, and Mike himself battling obsessive compulsive actions around food and exercise. “It’s not my job to judge or preach to people, but as the writer, and someone who has lived experience with addiction, I consider it my responsibility to be as honest and unwavering as possible. Hopefully, by talking about some of these issues, it starts conversations about how to change negative habits into more positive ones.”
The book features a host of characters of colour, another anomaly in the world of YA fiction, and one in which Rawiri James is keen to point out. “I’ve read and loved plenty of stories about Caucasian characters. I don’t feel the need to contribute to them, because there’s already so many great examples out there. It’s far more interesting for me to tell minority stories. And as someone of mixed-race heritage, my experience of both privilege and discrimination has shaped my world view and offers something different.” In Lost Boy alone, major characters are of Native American, African American, Puerto Rican, Malaysian and Indian descent, while white characters fulfil supporting roles.
When asked if there will be a Part 2, Rawiri James smirks. “In my mind, there’s scope for so much more exploration of this world, so, if people want a sequel, I’m happy to give it to them. Right now, I’m just happy that people are getting to know Mike and Nicole and Joey. It was a pleasure for me to understand them and help tell their story.”
Lost Boy is available on digital download, October 4th, 2019.

That Which Wavers with the Night is a is a suspense novel situated in the San Francisco Bay Area. The story focuses on a nurse who accidentally discovers a document in a patient’s room. Therein ensues a winding journey which reveals murder, corruption, and a flawed healthcare system. The story especially takes an unflinching look at the expanding gap in the US between the haves and haves nots.
That Which Wavers with the Night is not a gay novel. However, Casslan does illustrate how LGBTQ characters can easily blend in with the fabric of society, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area. The novel touches on other issues such as alcohol recovery, political activism, immigration rights and environmental pollution. This is a human story about intersecting individual lives – with wider implications for us all and for the planet.
“In simple straightforward language, Casslan weaves of greed, injustice, and other human issues, both contemporary and timeless. Yet her book is also a fun read and a good old fashioned mystery.” Marian Sanders – Former President of the San Francisco Bay Area Travel Writers Association.

The Sunshine State’s diverse setting has been inspiring writers for generations. After all, the expanses of wilderness, eclectic tourists, and gorgeous beaches are perfect sources to spark creativity. More than a dozen notable authors were able to capture both the positives and the negatives that our state has to offer — in its own, southern Floridian way.
Here are the Top 10 Florida Based Authors Of All Time:
1. Ernest Hemingway— Key West
Although not necessarily homegrown, Hemingway’s roots in the Sunshine State are deep. The Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winner penned several of his classics in Key West, including A Farewell to Arms and The Sun Also Rises. The Hemingway Home and Museum is one of our state’s most popular tourist destinations, preserving possessions and furnishings from the greatest writer of the 20th century.
Best Book: The Old Man and the Sea
2. Carl Hiaasen — Plantation
Born and bred in South Florida, the humorist stayed local, working as a writer for the Miami Herald since 1976, where he currently has a reoccurring column.
A graduate of Plantation High School, Hiaasen got his start at the local Emory University newspaper, before transferring to the University of Florida, where he earned a journalism degree. In total, 20 of his novels and nonfiction books have topped the New York Times Best Seller list.
Best Book: Hoot
3. Dave Barry — Miami
Barry wasn’t born in Florida, but he calls the Sunshine State his home, and spoofs the heck out of it. The Pulitzer-Prize and Walter Cronkite Award-winning columnist and humorist worked alongside Hiaasen at the Miami Herald from 1983 to 2005 and still lives in South Florida.
Barry has penned over 50 books in both fiction and nonfiction; he is often considered one of the best contemporary humor scribes.
Best Book: Big Trouble
4. Zora Neal Hurston — Eatonville
An Alabama native, Hurston was a pioneer of 20th-century African-American literature. As a child, her family moved to Eatonville in 1894 — the setting for a majority of her stories.
Hurston’s fiction draws from racial experiences and her own personal struggles. Additionally, she would embark on documented anthropological research trips throughout the state, studying the diverse slave conditions.
Unfortunately, her body of work wasn’t discovered until after her death. At the end of Hurston’s life, she was penniless, taking odd jobs to make ends meet.
Best Book: Their Eyes Were Watching God
5. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings — Hawthorne
Rawlings lived in rural Florida and incorporated her surroundings into her works. The local frontier served as the backdrop to all of her writings. Her best-selling novel The Yearling inspired an acclaimed movie of the same name; the film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture.
Throughout her life, Rawling earned a Pulitzer Price, was honored as a First Floridian, and graced a commemorative stamp for the U.S. Postal Service. Similar to Hemingway, the author’s homestead is a historic state park, attracting visitors to her old Florida homestead.
Best Book: The Yearling
6. Michael Connelly — Fort Lauderdale
As a teen, Connelly moved to Fort Lauderdale, where he attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School. A graduate of the University of Florida, his first gig was as a crime-beat writer with the Daytona Beach News-Journal. After two years, he transferred to Fort Lauderdale News, covering the South Florida cocaine wars.
Writing in his spare time, Connelly’s first offering The Black Echo won the Edgar Award. The author went on to pen 31 best-selling novels and has sold 74 million copies of his works. His series based around Bosch and The Lincoln Lawyer have both been adapted by Hollywood.
Best Book: The Lincoln Lawyer
7. Harry Crews — Jacksonville
Crews graduated from the University of Florida and decided he never wanted his college experience to end. For the next three decades, he taught English, financially supporting his career as a writer. A prolific author, Crew ran the gamut of the profession, penning novels, screenplays, and essays for prestigious journals and magazines. Celebrities including Madonna, Sean Penn, and Sonic Youth were fans of his dark Southern Gothic approach.
Best Book: A Feast of Snakes
8. Harriet Beecher Stowe — Jacksonville
The American author and abolitionist is likely the most historically important author on this list. After all, on meeting Stowe during the Civil War, then president Abraham Lincoln remarked: “so you’re the little lady who started this big war.” Stowe wrote 30 books, but it’s her work Uncle Tom’s Cabin that is the most significant, reaching millions and energizing anti-slavery forces in the North.
Stowe spent most of her life traveling all over America, but retired in Jacksonville. During an interview in 1873, she told the reporter “I came to Florida the year after the war and held property in Duval County ever since. In all this time, I have not received even incivility from any native Floridian.”
Best Book: Uncle Tom’s Cabin
9. Elmore Leonard — Palm Beach
Leonard split his time between the Detroit area and Florida. It’s the latter that served as the setting of many of his books. The pulp and western writer has been adapted into numerous motion pictures and television shows. In total, 26 of his novels and short stories have been brought to the screen. Notables include Jackie Brown, 3:10 to Yuma, Get Shorty, and Justified.
Best Book: Out of Sight
10. Judy Blume — Key West
A mainstay of young adult and children’s literature, Blume has called Key West her home for more than 25 years. She loves the area so much, that she opened a local full-service bookstore. Her novels have sold over 82 million copies and have been translated into 32 languages. Notable works are required reading for pre-primary, primary, and secondary educational institutions.
Best Book: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret

Mar 23, 2021
The desire to age gracefully is nothing new. 50+ years ago, Dr Edward Bortz (father of TVC’s favorite Dr Walter Bortz) wrote a book on how to age in a way that would lead to a successful feeling about both your healthspan, lifespan and perhaps even your workspan. Following the recent death of his brother and even more recent stroke of his mother, Jack Russo reflects on how lifestyle may be the most important form of medicine that cannot be picked up from your local pharmacy. Cue the debut of 21st Century Lifestyle Management, Jack’s proposed guide for improving ourselves and our relationships over time.

"Rapunzel Untangled" by Cindy C. Bennett
I wanted to like this book, I really did. This was a fairy tale that I had yet to read in a modernized format. Sadly, that didn't make it good. In Rapunzel Untangled by Cindy C. Bennett, Rapunzel has never left her tower. Her mother has kept her locked away due to SCIDS disease and Rapunzel can't risk her health. But she longs for companionship which she finally finds when she makes her first facebook friend, Fane. Of course he introduces Rapunzel to many of the world's wonders and she begins to risk everything for more life experiences. She's careful, but what happens when she gets caught?
Only one word describe this book for me: convenient Everything just falls perfectly into place every time There is no real conflict until the end of he novel and even that felt forced and awkward. I felt like I was reading waiting for the plot to get started but that didn't really happen. There were elements of the book that were really sweet and I could certainly see girls swooning over Fane, but I wanted a little more from this book. If you are looking for a relatively calm, modernized fairy tale, then you will likely enjoy this book. However, if you are like me and getting a little tired of fairy tale re-tellings and not into books with weak plots, then maybe skip this book in favor of something else.

I might be a teensy-weensy behind on my reviews… never mind, better late than never, eh? Today’s literary delight is First Class Murder by Robin Stevens, the third in the Wells and Wong mystery series. Now I will admit that I approached this book with some trepidation dear readers. The reason? Well, this is a book which pays homage to Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. Now you can imagine how I might feel about someone trying to reflect Christie can’t you? This, however, is a Robin Stevens book, and therefore there is no need for panic. In fact, there is need for tea and buns and enough time to sit and read it from beginning to end.
Daisy and Hazel are off on their holidays with Hazel’s dad, and they are travelling on the Orient Express. Hazel’s father is a little bit concerned that the friends have got into the habit of tripping over dead bodies every ten minutes, which is not at all becoming for young ladies. He makes them promise to be good, and not get into any trouble. Well, it isn’t long before a body is found in one of the cabins, completely locked from the inside and the girls set out to solve the mystery on the quiet.
There is as cast of characters including a psychic, a magician and a Russian princess. There is also the added bonus of a young American lad who takes a bit of a shine to Hazel. The resemblance to the Christie classic is clear to see, but it’s so deftly done, and handled with such devotion, it’s a joy to read. The friendship between Daisy and Hazel is developing nicely, and really has some depth. I can see these two aged eighty, knitting together whilst chatting to the vicar about the recent murder at the village fete.
It’s a truly glorious read, and as with all the Wells and Wong books, there is a proper mystery with red herrings, twists, turns and clues to indulge the reader. The books may be aimed at younger readers, but there is no shying away from what murder means.
This series is fantastic, and even if you don’t have a Hazel or Daisy in your life to buy a copy for, pretend you do, and read it yourself. You won’t regret it.

In the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic where the very essence of styles of worship have changed, and new habits have sprung up, many Christians have been filled with questions regarding how they ought to worship, how they ought to receive the sacraments, and so on. I’ve specifically been asked frequently by Catholics about the “how” of the sacrament of reconciliation at this time, with particular reference to those who are quarantined and can’t receive any physical pastoral care.
There’s good news!
In a new book compiled by the Dicastery of Communications of the Holy See, Pope Francis has extended Plenary Indulgence to Catholic faithful who are “suffering from Coronavirus, who are subject to quarantine by order of the health authority in hospitals or in their own homes if, with a spirit detached from any sin, they unite spiritually through the media to the celebration of Holy Mass, the recitation of the Holy Rosary, to the pious prac-tice of the Way of the Cross or other forms of devotion, or if at least they will recite the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer and a pious invocation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering this trial in a spirit of faith in God and charity towards their brothers and sisters, with the will to fulfil the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic commun-ion and prayer according to the Holy Father’s intentions), as soon as possible.”
The Association for Catholic Information in Africa reports that “The 192-page book is available for download on the website of the Vatican’s publishing house, the Libreria Editrice Vaticana…The book, which is called “Strong in the Face of Tribulation: The Church in Communion – a Sure Support in Time of Trial” and has an image of the Archangel Michael on its cover, is divided into three parts.
The first part contains prayers, rituals and supplications, including prayers for the sick and for liberation from evil. The second explains how Catholics can continue to practice the faith without the support of the Sacraments. The third section gathers together Pope Francis’ reflections since the pandemic struck.
The Vatican has promised that the PDF copy will be updated from time to time with free copies of the updated versions always available for Download.
Stay safe! God bless you greatly!
God bless the Pope and the Most Holy Roman Catholic Church.
