Bette Lee Crosby - Author, Artist, And Clever Philosopher With An Aptitude For Finding Perfect Spots To Commit Murder!
Mme. Perry: It was lovely to meet you at Book Expo America 2014 in
and find we have a mutual friend in AuthorsOn The Air host Pam Stack. Thank you for visiting here at my salon. New
Bette Lee Crosby: It's a pleasure to be here. I enjoy connecting with readers and since I am a big fan of the 20's and 30's it is especially lovely to be invited to a Salon. I feel a bit like Owen Wilson in Midnight In Paris.
MP: Congratulations on all the awards your book, Spare Change, has received. They include, and there are probably more now, USA Today Bestseller, #1Barnes and Noble Bestseller, Amazon #1 Literary Fiction Bestseller,Reviewer's Choice Award Winner, FPA President's Book Award, Royal Palm LiteraryAward, Readers View Regional Fiction, Eadon Contemporary Fiction Award, andBook Bundlz Finalist. I can imagine that puts a bit of well earned swagger in your step!
BLC: Indeed it does. You might think it gets to be old hat, but that's not true. Every time I have a book that's a finalist in a competition, I get butterflies in my stomach before the award ceremony even starts. This past weekend we attended the Royal Palm LiteraryAwards and I had two books in the finals. When they announced that Jubilee's Journey was the First Place Winner for Mainstream Fiction I wanted to jump up and down. Since I was wearing high heel sandals, I controlled the impulse- but I did have a mile-wide smile on my face when I walked up to the podium.
Any time anyone pays special recognition to your work, it is an honor. It rewards the time and effort you put into making that book the best it could be. The same is true whether it is a gold medal or a fan letter. It makes my day when I get a letter from one of my readers saying they cried or laughed out loud as they read one of my books. When a reader cares enough to plunk down good money to buy your book, that's true recognition.
MP: Spare Change, the first book of the Wyattsville Series, is fast paced and full of idiosyncratic and distinctive characters. Olivia Westerly's life has been anything but conventional. She is disowned by her father as she leaves home in pursuit of a job he finds scandalous, marries at a much later age than most, and on her honeymoon she becomes, in short order, a widow and a full-time stepmother when the orphaned grandson of her deceased husband shows up on her doorstep.
It is refreshing to find such an atypical premise for a novel, Bette. Did a situation like this actually happen to someone you knew?
BLC: Not really, but I do enjoy looking at the unexpected twists and turns of life. That's a theme you'll find in almost all of my novels. One of my favorite sayings is, "Life is all about how you handle plan B."
I will however share what inspired me to write the story as I did. My husband and I were visiting friends on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and as we drove down this very long, very isolated strip of land I thought a murder could happen out here and no one would know it. That was the seed that gave Spare Change a start in my mind.
MP: Ah, yes! I love that authentic author's mind, just riding along and envisioning a crime! And your Plan B philosophy? Brilliant!
The grandson, Ethan, is carrying the weight of dealing with some intense adult situations without the benefit of good, adult role models. You drew him in a manner that successfully helps to carry the story. Surely your readers must comment often on your understanding of human temperament in all its many facets and the unexpected as well as serendipitous nature of human interactions.

Surely your readers must comment often on your understanding of human temperament in all its many facets and the unexpected as well as serendipitous nature of human interactions.
BLC: I believe there is no such thing as an all good or all bad person and I try to show that in my characters. I have gotten a few comments criticizing the fact that Ethan Allen uses foul language, but that's what is true to his nature. He grew up in that environment and it's what he knew. The story would not have the impact it has if in the face of adversity he said, "Oh shucks."
I live with each and every one of my characters long before I start to actually write the book. I spend a lot of time thinking about how they feel and how they will react to any given situation. I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about what they look like, because that's not what is important. The truth of a person is always found on the inside, not the outside.
BLC: If you count my earlier manuscripts, which I look back on as little more than a learning curve, it is fourteen or fifteen. Only eight are published, but the ninth novel is due out on January 14th.
Spare Change was the first book in the WyattsvilleSeries, Jubilee's Journey was book 2 and Passing through Perfect will be book 3. Although they are tied together with a silken thread, any of these books are easily read as a standalone novel.
MP: I look at a lot of author websites, but yours is the first to feature Mid-Week Mixers. Whose fabulous idea was that?
BLC: My favorite day of the month is the day our local book club meets. It's not just about the book. It's about the friendship, the socializing, the glass of wine and puff pastry we share. I wanted my blog to be something like those book club meetings. Sure, there are books, but there's also so much more. When readers visit my blog, I hope they feel as if they are visiting me in my living room.
MP: It appears to me that you probably knew from a very early age that you were a writer. Do you remember the first authors of whom you were a fan, and why you loved their books?
BLC: I hope you are ready for a good laugh. I studied to be an artist. My first job was designing soft goods and pantyhose packaging. I was young and shy and when I'd tell the salesmen I need copy for the back of the package, they'd wave me off and say "make something up. Whatever you write is good enough. Once I started to write I discovered a true love of words. They were like a paintbrush in my hands and I had a million different colors to work with.
The person who truly inspired my love for storytelling was my mom. She grew up in the mountains of
and did not have a formal education. Although she never wrote anything more
than a letter, she could tell stories more magical than you'd imagine possible. West Virginia
MP: That was an unexpected answer and an extraordinary start to your superb career. Fantastic story! Thank you for visiting Madame Perry's Salon. Please visit again, and I hope to see you next year in
. New York
BLC: It has been delightful. I especially love the salon effect here on your blog. I shall certainly look for you at the next Book Expo.

All Hail The True Crime King
- Gary C. King!
Gary C. King is one of the world's foremost true crime writers and serial killers expert, a reputation he has earned over the last 33 years with the publication of more than 500 articles in true crime magazines in the United States, Canada, and England. King's many television appearances include Entertainment Tonight, Larry King Live, E!, BBC, Court TV, Inside Edition. I could go on but let's talk to man himself.
Madame Perry: Welcome to Madame Perry's Salon,
it's an honor to have you here. Please make yourself comfortable. My
first introduction to true crime books was the reigning queen of the genre –
Ann Rule. Let me share a quote from your website. Gary
"King took over Ann Rule's job as Pacific Northwest stringer for True Detective, Official Detective, Inside Detective, Front Page Detective, and Master Detective magazines, writing hundreds of nonfiction articles under various names until those magazines ceased publication in the mid-1990s."
Did you personally know or work with Rule?
Gary C. King: I do know Ann. I've met her several times at conferences. However, I've never worked with her, and have never wanted to work with her. Also, I cannot and do not endorse her work because I do not care for it. It's for those reasons, among others, that I have never asked her for a blurb and would turn down one from her if ever offered. After her days at True Detective ended, she tended to go off in a direction that I find difficult to support. Now that I've gotten older, however, there are several things I do not concern myself about: death and dying, book sales, and Ann Rule! Some true crime authors seem to want to emulate other true crime writers which is a mistake, in my opinion, and many have certainly had their introduction to the genre via Ann's books. A true crime writer needs to find his or her own voice, and his or her own style. I try to avoid most true crime writers as most have only self-serving interests and will do just about anything to further their own careers, including breaking trusts with other writers. A well-known true crime writer who also writes in the Young Adult and fiction genres recently broke trust with me on Facebook, shortly after DEAD OF NIGHT was released. As a result I've had to reassess the importance, or perhaps lack thereof, of being friends with those in the business!
MP: I've read several of your books,
and I'd like to ask you about some of them. How do you choose to write about a
particular crime or killer? Gary
GCK: Yes, I know, Jennifer, lol, which I do sincerely appreciate. It's always great to connect with readers who like and appreciate one's work. As for picking a particular crime or criminal, I always try to choose crimes and/or criminals to write about simply by picking those that interest me personally. If a case or a killer does not interest me on some personal level, I simply do not write about. That's not to say that I've never written about a crime or criminal that hasn't interested me—I have, thanks to editors and their poor choices. When an editor has picked cases for me, that interest at a personal level is missing and it often shows in the finished product and reader acceptance. Editors think they know everything, but I can say with all honesty and sincerity that they do not. Sometimes, more often than not, the author knows best. I tend to prefer writing about serial killers because, frankly, they are more interesting than a typical murder, though there are always exceptions.
MP: Approximately how much time is spent from deciding to write about a specific story, researching it, and the finish line?
GCK: Usually I spend anywhere from six months to a year researching and writing about a case. That was the typical time spent when writing under contract for a traditional publisher. Now that I've gone indie there's no need to rush because there are no deadlines to meet. I expect that I will be taking longer to finish projects in the future because there is no longer any need to rush.
MP: Are some stories more difficult than others? I'm thinking of Angels Of Death, about 13-year-old Derek King and his 12-year-old brother Alex King who were arrested after their father, Terry King, was bludgeoned to death as he slept. The boys certainly had a less than ideal childhood being abandoned by a drug addict mother and moved around to various foster homes. Yet I got the sense that Terry was trying to keep his boys with him and out of trouble. How does it feel to examine a case of coldblooded killers who are still just children?
GCK: Cases involving children, whether they are the murder victims or the killers, are always the most difficult to research and write about due to the emotional aspects involved. Terry King was not an ideal parent, but based on the information I found he was trying to raise his boys as best he could as a low-income single parent. I believe he protected his boys, but they saw things differently, possibly due to outside influences such as Chavez and drug experimentation at such an early age. They saw Terry King as being unreasonably strict, but that was clearly not the case. Those boys came and went as they pleased. In spite of Terry King's shortcomings, many of which were through no fault of his own, he did not deserve to be brutally beaten to death by his sons and set afire afterward in an effort to cover up the crime. Those two boys seemed incorrigible to me, and had turned into monsters by the time they killed their father. You can read more about this case and the boys after their release from prison on my blog.
MP: A different situation involving children, and one that the country followed on the news as people kept a lookout for them, was recounted in Stolen In The Night. The relatives and friends of young Shasta Groene and her brother Dylan were thrust into an unthinkable nightmare when their family was murdered and the two children were missing. Shasta was rescued when she was recognized in public and sexual psychopath Joseph Edward Duncan III was arrested, charged and sentenced to death. During your research did you find many situations in
's history that should have alerted
people to the kind of monster he was? Were there things people should have
noticed that, had the proper authorities been notified, could have saved this
family from such tragedy and heartbreak? Duncan
GCK: Like many pedophiles,
managed to slip through the cracks of a system that was designed to keep
monsters like him out of circulation. His earlier crimes, such as those in Duncan ,
should have been ample warning that he was a danger to children. Sometimes,
even with the best efforts of law enforcement, the system fails. It failed with
Westley Allan Dodd, subject of my book DRIVEN TO KILL and who I interviewed at
length before his execution, and it failed with Tacoma, Washington . As with Dodd, there were several
instances in which Duncan
should have been kept behind bars but was not. I still have problems with why
more information could not have been developed years earlier when the Duncan Martinez child was killed in .
They had a description of the man, as well as a description of the car he was
driving. Perhaps the descriptions were inadequate to bring about identification
and arrest, but one can't help but wonder if the ball may have been dropped
somewhere along the way. At least we can now be reasonably assured that Riverside County, California will never hurt
another child. No family should ever have to endure the tragic consequences
that the Groene family, and other families like them, have gone through. Duncan
MP: MURDER IN HOLLYWOOD is about the killing of BonnyLee Bakley, wife of actor Robert Blake with whom she had a child. There are people who have followed Blake since he was a young actor and have all manner of speculations about him and his life. I was surprised at the complicated back story on Bakley.
Gary, was her background,
failed ambition and career as a con and extortionist fairly well known among Hollywood insiders?
GCK: MURDER IN HOLLYWOOD is a book that my editor at St. Martin's Press chose for me to write about, and it was one chosen by an editor that I actually enjoyed doing despite the fact that the publisher only gave me 30 days to write the book. The publisher helped with the research, and I worked day and night to complete the manuscript. The book was published before Blake's trial, in which he was acquitted. Though Blake himself was an interesting subject, even without a murder investigation, it was Bakley's activities or antics that really carried the story. Due to the time limitations involved in writing the book, it was clear to me that a number of people in
knew about her but boiled the question down to just how much people may have
known about her. Bakley's scam victims knew what she was to be sure, but how
much of what she was doing that may have filtered out to the so-called insiders
may never be known. Hollywood
MP: A very sad story of another type was that of Yale graduate Kathryn Ann Martini, a young beautiful woman with a bright career ahead in banking. Smart, focused and
hardworking, it seems her mistake was falling in love with and marrying Michael David Lissy. Murder In Room 305 details the foul plan of this sleazy, coke-addicted miscreant who planned the violent death of his bride of only a year in order to collect the hefty life insurance policy he'd taken out on her. Did you talk to many of Kathryn Ann Martini's family and friends? So many people are affected deeply for life after a tragedy like this, aren't they?
GCK: I talked to some of Kathryn's family and friends, but most of the information came out of public files. Her family was deeply affected by her murder, especially her parents. One of her sisters contacted me after the book's publication, and related some of their feelings to me. In respect of their privacy and since the information was not contained in the book, I feel I should keep those revelations private. David Wilson, the killer, was paroled in the late 1990s. Lissy, I've heard, was paroled in April of this year. Both of those paroles must have added to the hurt and pain experienced by Kathryn's family.
MP: You already know that every time I start one of your books I want to read the whole story at once! That's when I send you tweets saying once again you kept me up all night, and your reply is usually along the lines of "It's my job!"
Thank you for the excellent research and writing in your books as well as the sensitivity to the loved ones on all sides of the stories who carry the grief and pain for a lifetime. When I first interviewed true crime authors, there were people who accused me of glorifying or sensationalizing crime. So I always add the reasons I read and share the books.
Yes, I'm fascinated by the unpredictability of human behavior, to put it very simply. However, I don't believe I've ever read an account of true crime where there weren't several hints, red flags and outright warnings of someone's potential for violence maybe for years before a crime occurs. And for whatever reason no information was shared or action taken which could have prevented it.
So I repeat the simple words that if you see something, say something. And if you see or know something but don't want to get involved – too late, you're already involved and have a responsibility.
I wish you much continued success in your career,
and hope you'll return soon. Gary
GCK: Thanks, Jennifer. I'll be happy to return here anytime!

In The Mix With Joey Stuckey
Readers, it would take an entire blog post to list the awards, affiliations, and celebrity clients and collaborators of this guest. I'll just have a little talk with him, then you can visit his website. Trust me, you'll do that.
Madame Perry: Hello, Joey, and welcome to Madame Perry's Salon. Please make yourself comfortable. Joey, I had heard people rave about your mad talent as a musician for many years. Actually our mutual friend, musician, songwriter and vocalist Sue G. Wilkinson was the first person to tell me about you. When did you begin to play music, and on what instrument?
Joey Stuckey: Sue is amazing and a true one of a kind talent, we have a lot of respect for each other and I am honored she brought me to your attention.
I first took piano around seven years old, but, only took for six months. As a kid I had a lot of health problems, the result of a brain tumor, and just wasn't ready to give of myself to make music. I was more interested in feeling better and doing kid stuff. My Mom also tried to give me guitar lessons at around five years old from a local college professor; that lasted one lesson, again, I just wasn't ready and again, I had to overcome so many health related obstacles. At that age I had yet to understand the power of music.
My Mom was convinced that I was a musician. My parents played non professionally, by that I mean it wasn't their profession, just something they loved to do when the opportunity presented. My Dad believed that when I was ready to play, if I ever was, she wouldn't have to make me practice. They were both right!

My Dad believed that when I was ready to play, if I ever was, she wouldn't have to make me practice. They were both right!
My first real foray into the world of music was about the age of fifteen as the sound tech for a local planetarium. I had started recording and fooling around with recording gear at thirteen and found I had an affinity for it. Many of my co-workers, who were about eighteen and had bands, asked if I would record them. Once I heard the power of original, live music it was my epiphany! Music was my destiny.
|James Brown with Joey Stuckey
Terry had never taught a blind person before--oh, did I mention I am blind? Well that was another result of the brain tumor. Anyway, Terry said he would and could teach me and that he would find a way to impart the information I needed to be a musician. He did and he is truly one of the people I love best in this world and part of my family. He even went so far as to draw in a box of sand the musical staff and notes so I would have an understanding of what they looked like.
So that is how it all started on the guitar. I also found over the years that I was handy on bass and vocals and had an adequate amount of talent on keys and percussion.
In most of the full productions I produce in my studio these days, I often play all instruments for my clients.
MP: You've had quite a career playing and producing music. What are the achievements of which you are most proud?
JS: Hmmm, that is a hard one. I have had so many wonderful opportunities and experiences, but, I'll tell you a few quick things that over the last few years have meant a lot. First, I love to teach and take true pleasure in feeling like I am assisting others reach their potential. So teaching at
where I also attended college is a real highlight. I also travel a lot and do
guest lectures--this year I had an amazing time in Mercer University Hattiesburg,
with the students and faculty at the University of Southern Mississippi.
I have also been blessed to work with two outstanding young ladies that are starting their musical careers at the age of sixteen and are amazing talents. I am proud to be their co-writer, producer, engineer and have played all the instruments on their releases, you should for sure check them out, in the genre of country Savannah Alday and in the genre of pop Katherine Daniel.
Finally, my last album Mixture which is my first full jazz release, charted at number nine on the CMJ top 40 Jazz charts for
America and got a lot of great reviews in fusion magazines across
the globe.
My friend and co-writer on the project Tom Rule who performed piano/keys on the album and is a long time band member in the Joey Stuckey band was a big reason this record was so successful and I can't thank him enough. We also had two masters of percussion on the record, Marcus Reddick and another long time Joey Stuckey band member and ARC recording artist Miguel Castro, again, the record wouldn't be the same without them.
MP: Would you tell me a story about a situation or gig that turned out quite differently – for good or bad – than you expected?
JS: Well, this is one of my favorite stories!
I was playing in my mid twenties at a bar in
This was a rock and blues version of the Joey Stuckey Band which brings a new
definition to the word eclectic. Anyway, we were performing the Steve MillerBand song The Joker. I love this song and the lyrics that say
"I really love your peaches want to shake your tree" I always smile a
lot when singing this line, it just fits my sense of humor. Milledgeville, GA.
So, being blind is always an adventure and on this night while singing this song and smiling like I do, I attracted the attention of a young lady that wanted to take someone home with her that night. She thought I was smiling at her. Of course, I wasn't, I had no idea she was there, I was just singing. She thought I was flirting with her and started dirty dancing for me as part of her mating ritual.
After that song, she thought I started ignoring her. I of course wasn't--again, I had no idea she was there. Four or five songs later we took a break and then came the smackdown!
She stormed up to me and asked me who the hell I thought I was. I was shocked.
Me: What are you talking about?
Solid Gold Dancer: You started flirting with me and then after I danced for you you decided I wasn't good enough and just started ignoring me!
Me: I am blind, I didn't see you.
Dancing Queen: Whatever!
My friends: No, he really is blind.
Well, after telling me some more of how little she thought about me she stormed off and ended up finding someone else. Likely a more appreciative candidate.
This story exemplifies how no one ever thinks of me as blind and some people never believe it. We should recognize our limitations so that we are able to compensate for them, yet not define ourselves in terms of those limitations. Just as I am more than a musician, I am also more then a blind man, though both things are a part of me and should be acknowledged.

MP: You've added another career as a teacher. I believe when I saw you last you had a class of your students from
Mercer University coming into
your studio for final exams. How do you like teaching?
Joey Stuckey and band perform
Give Five from Mixture
JS: I love it! It is something you need to have a passion for or you can't do it effectively as there are many frustrations that go with the job. Fortunately I love educating others about music and also enjoy the role of inspirational speaker about living a successful life and overcoming adversity. I teach at the college level here in my hometown of
and of course as I mentioned above, I travel the country teaching at
other colleges and have a cadre of private students that I love! Macon
MP: Give me your impressions of the younger group of musicians who are coming into their own now with such a wide range of influences.
JS: For sure the music biz has changed and of course many of the sounds have changed as well, though I think for the most part they are reiterations of the past--like the big-synth sounds of Lady Gaga, really just modern sounds of the late 70s and early 80s. But, that being said, I love music of all genres and time periods and am glad that there is so much talent in the biz still. I am most especially proud of the talent here in Georgia! I just wish we had the same kind of infrastructure that Los Angeles or
has to get that talent exposed to the world. Nashville

MP: Tell us about your show Studio 41.
JS: If you are fortunate enough to get a slot performing on a local TV station, the
audio can be quite challenging. TV studios, at least at the local level
aren't usually set up for musical performances. I was tired of not sounding
like I knew I could when I performed on TV and I knew that I wasn't the only
person not having the sound they deserved. So instead of complaining, I decided
to do something about it.
I produce the show which is broadcast on the local NBC affiliate. I am set up
for music production and TV stations typically aren't, so it just made sense to tape it in my studio.
However, I don't try to get a recording studio sound, but keep it live sounding
so the audience knows what the band really sounds like with out a lot of studio
It is important to me to support local/indie music from GA. I've been doing that in print, on the radio both web and terrestrial and it was time to do it on TV.

|Joey with Gregg Allman
It is important to me to support local/indie music from GA. I've been doing that in print, on the radio both web and terrestrial and it was time to do it on TV.
We have wonderfully talented folk here in GA and I encourage folks to check out the program via web if they don't live in our broadcast area. You can look for episodes on YouTube and also on Shadow Sound Studio and at Studio 41 NBC.
Let's talk about your newest CD, Mixture, which has a permanent place in my
car. It has a pop jazz feel and yet I feel like I'm listening to a soundtrack
for a 70s or 80s television show with a private investigator and several
glamorous guest stars. So, yeah, what was the inspiration for the songs and are
you a fan of vintage TV actions shows?
|Joey and Carole King
JS: I love TV, though I am blind. So many TV shows - Magnum PI and Night Court just to name two - have great theme music. And who doesn't like those sexy guest stars, or in my case starlets.
There was no conscious effort to bring that kind of sound forth, but, I care about good melodies. As a 70s baby my musical influences really began in the 80s. Still, the music is really about trying to find melodies that folks could hum along with or get hooked on.
JS: Fame, fortune and then retirement! Seriously though, I am happy as long as I can continue doing just what I do now.
I am always on the look out for the next adventure life has in store. One thing is for sure however, I will continue with music and the recording sciences in some way. My intention is to serve as a source of inspiration and assistance for others and never let my light go out.

Mermaid Picnics, Computer Gaming, and Dismembering The Past! Yes, We Have The Award Winning Helen Ginger In The House!
Settle in, folks, this is going to be a ride with a lots of twists and turns with this fascinating guest. Helen Ginger is the author of five books: three non-fiction, a short story anthology and a contemporary fiction, Angel Sometimes which won the 2013 USA Best Book Award For Fiction. She maintains an informational and interactive blog for writers and a weekly e-newsletter that has been going out to subscribers around the globe for thirteen years. She is an owner-partner and Women's Marketing Director for Legends In Our Own Minds®, which specializes in creative networking opportunities for companies and groups.
And how could I not be enchanted with someone whose blog is titled Straight From Hel!
Madame Perry: Welcome to Madame Perry's Salon, Helen. We're delighted to have you here.
Helen Ginger: I am so glad to be here, too. Thank you for inviting me.
MP: It's remarkable to find that after following your blog and being twitter pals for years, plus reading about you and your work, I'm still astounded at all that you do. Among the list is blogging, ghostwriting, public speaking, author, editor, and you teach most every skill that you do. How many times a day are you asked how you do it all?
HG: Rarely does anyone ask me how I do it all. I think authors are all busy every day. If we're not writing, we're promoting, or connecting with readers or plotting out the next book or the next book tour.
MP: I love your book Angel Sometimes. Angel was taken 800 miles from her home inThe mermaid part of the story was a window into a world completely unknown to me, and quite captivating. The training, extraordinary tricks like eating underwater, special contact lenses and even getting in costume pull the reader in to a world as strange to us as being homeless was to Angel. I learned you were also a mermaid. Please tell us about it. How did you start, what were some of the best – and not so fun – parts?
South Padre Island, Texas and abandoned with only $50 just before her
thirteenth birthday. Years later she hitchhikes to Oklahoma where
she makes a life and makes plans for revenge while working as a mermaid in a
restaurant/bar. Austin, Texas
HG: I gave Angel the job of swimming as a mermaid because I knew she could do it. Although I swam while I was in college, you don't have to have a degree to be a mermaid. You just have to not be scared. When I wrote Angel Sometimes, I gave her the job that I knew the most about and I knew she could do. She wears special contacts. I did not. The mermaids at AquarenaSprings wore goggles. We took them off during the picnic.
When I started college, I needed a job to help pay for books, classes, etc. I worked as an assistant for one of my instructors. Then I went and applied to swim at Aquarena Springs and got the job. You go through quite a bit of training, such as synchronized swimming, and eating and drinking underwater. We mostly ate celery, strings removed (nothing pretty about celery strings caught in your teeth) and drank punch (not carbonated).
To tell you the truth, I can't think of anything that wasn't fun about the job. Well, there was one time it wasn't fun. The swimmers came in to work and were told that a huge wall of water would be coming in that day (The river that Aquarena was on was fed by hundreds of springs and where that water comes from had been having a flood of rain.) So we all got together to move what we could to high ground and anchor down what couldn't be moved. The Ralphs were moved. (If you were a visitor to Aquarena you probably thought there was only one Ralph, there were several. Unlike the swimmers, the Ralphs could only swim one show, then they had time to recover before doing another show.) So…after all that, we were told to get in the water and swim the show. The water was so murky that we could hold a hand up in front of our face and not see it. We had to move the synchronized swimming close up to the window of the submarine. For picnic, we held onto the screws on the submarine while we ate. After the show was over, we, as usual, went out on the volcano to wave goodbye to the visitors. One man came out of the sub.
MP: You've written three books in TSTC Publishing's TechCareer
Series on Computer Gaming, Avionics, and Automotive Technicians. We likely can
see what differentiates these from your novels and short stories, are there
similarities in writing techniques or skills needed?

and Author Helen Ginger (Lower Left)
HG: Usually, for both fiction and nonfiction, you have to do research. For my non-fiction writing, I had to do a ton of research on each topic, including interviews with instructors or people in the business, finding as many of the schools in the US that teach that degrees, finding what classes are needed to get that degree, and more. I had a three month turnaround time for each book. I did quite a bit of traveling and spent hours transcribing what I had recorded. For fiction, you mostly make it up. Angel Sometimes was based on my experience to a certain extent. But my second fiction book, Dismembering the Past, is not based on me or my experience. One thing about Angel is that I know her more deeply than any other character. I started writing her years before the book came out. I wrote her at twelve years old. Around that time, I received a scholarship to the
and spent a month rewriting her as a young adult. I literally felt as though
she was talking in my head. Vermont Studio Center
MP: I learned from your website that you are owner/partner and the Women's Marketing Director for Legends In Our Own Minds®. Could you tell us what this is and what sparked its creation?
HG: Legends is a company my husband started. We do hunting, fishing and golfing expeditions. Mostly, what I do is maintain the website.
|Helen Ginger
MP: Your newest book is Dismembering The Past. Dare I ask what it's about? Just looking ahead to October when I plan to feature a suspense, thriller, or horror novel every day.
HG: Here's the back cover blurb: Private Investigator, Matti McAllister, is searching for a missing 67 year-old woman who got on her bicycle and disappeared at the same time The Texas Butcher came to Mesquite Cove. The Texas Butcher has already killed twelve women around the state, dismembering them and displaying the body pieces. While hiding among the thousands of visitors in town for the Texas Teacup Sailboat Festival, he'll add three more -- unless the FBI and Matti can stop him.
If he doesn't kill her first.
MP: You offer so much information on your blog about technique, events, resources and advice for writers. How can writers retain your services as an editor or advisor on their work?
HG: I'm doing very little editing now. I have one or two returning writers whom I edit. My focus at the moment is on writing. I'm open to talking with other writers, though. Sometimes if you're stuck at a point in your book, it helps to just talk it out.
MP: I know I spoke of this earlier, Helen, but just reading your website makes me feel like a total slacker. You definitely make the most of your talents! Thank you for spending so much time with us here. I hope you'll return.
HG: Thank you for hosting me! If anyone has a question, I'll try to answer.
MP: Naturally a person as busy as Helen has all the good social media so we can visit her website, follow her on Twitter, read her blog Straight From Hel, and learn more about her books, newsletters, coaching, and her long time vices. I have an Amazon link on the upper left corner of this site so you can order Angel Sometimes, or go straight to Helen's Amazon author page.

Holy Cow! I've made this twice and I don't think you can make this wrong. Both times, they turned out VERY well - creamy, chocolaty, absolutely delicious! Everyone LOVED them! Definitely a recipe to keep on hand for a quick, tasty dessert!
The sour cream topping was tasty, but that's about all good I can say about these cheesecakes. The vanilla wafer cookie did NOT form a crust as it was too small so it just made the cheesecake look strange. The chocolate taste of the cheesecake was very bitter. If not for the topping, these would have been inedible.

I made these for a party Saturday night & I'll tell ya, they worked out great. Instead of a "vanilla wafer" which is too small, I used peanut butter cookie dough (that I bought from market day) and used about 1/2 tbsp. smashed down to fit into the bottom of each cup, then baked them for about 10 min., and then followed the recipe from there. Topped them with the sour cream mixture and then frozen mixed berries (thawed) with a little of the "juice" for each. They turned out great. I suggest doubling the sour cream mixture, it doesn't go very far, and is pretty tasty. Thanks Hershey's!
This by far was the easiest and most delicious cheesecake recipe I have ever made! I used dark cherries instead of the light and when I served this to my guests I drizzled cherry puree on a cold plate and placed the cheesecake on the plate. (without the paper of course)What a beautiful presentation it made!
Great, pretty desert. I make allot of cheesecakes and I really liked how these could travel with out a spring pan that I never get the bottom back. Easy to make for a large party too. I did think that they tasted more like a mouse, I also had to cook for an additional 10 min. They came out of the oven nice & high but when they cooled the sunk in the middle. When you add the SC topping no one could notice. I used the standard muffin size cups but next time I will go one size smaller (not mini). I think that will make the wafer be a crust for the whole thing rather than just the middle. It does look very X-Mas like, but you could top with any fruit filling to change the color. I will make often.
These were really good. This was really my first attempt at a home cheesecake..(I've never made one in a springform pan), and I had great results. I don't think I've ever tried "Black Forest Cheesecake" in the past, but really enjoyed the mixed flavors. I'm not a sour cream person, but eating it with a cherry pie filling was actually good. They turned out really moist. When the evening was over, I hid in the kitchen and finished off what was left over. Thanks Hershey's
Excellent,excellent!! Made this for a Super Bowl Party and everyone loved it. You could make this a sugar free dessert by substituting sweetner for sugar very easily. Used lite cherry pie filing. Definitely a keeper. Thanks.
Thank you thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for to round out my dessert buffet..it was elegant, tasty and easy to prepare. I actually made it with non dairy cream cheese and sour cream, but skipped the sour cream topping on top. Instead I melted choc chips, put a dab on each, and a white choc chip in the center. I did add extra cocoa to the batter and they were delicious!

Prescription Drug Abusers Turning to Heroin
Tuesday, March 10 2015, 10:50 PM CDT
by Erin Nichols
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention classifies prescription drug abuse as an epidemic in the U.S.
Opioid prescriptions, such as codeine, morphine, and oxycodone are up 400% since 2000.
The risk for abuse can be even higher for teens because some believe prescription drugs are safer than illicit drugs.
"We do see a major problem with that," said Abigail Moore with the San Antonio Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse. "Whether it's adolescents abusing or taking prescriptionw from their parents, or adults abusing prescriptions that are prescribed to them or other family members, this is on the rise.Read original article
National Violence Prevention Week
March 23 – 27
By Tamera Moore
It takes a village to raise a child is an African Proverb that raises our attention that an entire community raises a child. During National Youth Violence Prevention Week let us raise our awareness that our children are more prone to living their lives as healthy adults when the community is on watch. According to the NCADD Fact Sheet Alcohol and Crime , alcohol is a factor in 40% of all violent crimes today. Communities are in dire need of making more impactful contributions into the lives of those children it houses. Youth violence is a serious community problem. If youth violence happens in the home, school or at the local corner store it is happening within the community. Our goal as a community must be towards setting goals and implementing strategies to help prevent youth violence from taking place in a social arena. The idea that it takes a community suggests that prevention is not just isolated to families as families alone are not able to resolve such a complex problem. The prevention efforts need the hearts and hands of those in communities to foster social change. There are some noted strategies that families and communities can use to help prevent youth violence:
1. Promote a safe and support home environment
2. Increase the capacity of parents/caregivers to raise nonviolent youth through parental education and training
3. Promote alcohol and chemical dependency treatment for parents and youth
4. Promote and support families seeking help for family violence
5. Educate families and youth in life skills that will foster healthy family relationships
6. Implement evidence based youth prevention programs within schools and other community resource centers.
7. Promote and make intervention services available for trauma, loss, substance abuse and abuse
8. Create social environments that foster a sense of belonging and connectedness among children
9. Reduce alcohol access within homes and communities
10. Strengthen community standards against violence, harassment, racism and bullying through community events
Thank you Boeing for helping make The Little Warriors Camp 2014 possible!
"The Little Warriors Camp began in 2013, because of the generosity of the Boeing Employees Community Fund in San Antonio. The Little Warriors Camp is specifically for children of military. During the summers of 2013 and 2014 the campers received 140 hours of prevention education. We have taught a total of 114 kids in all. They learned about self-esteem, assertiveness, and how to make good decisions. They enjoyed activities like hip hop dance, puppetry and a field day. Besides all of the fun the campers also received FREE school supplies! This program is one of the ways we support military families in San Antonio."

A Paul Rand book jacket design.
The Living Symbol by Gerhard Adler.
Pantheon Books, 1961. First Edition.
The book store where I purchased this had several Rand covers from the Bollingen series. The two I bought were in the regular stacks, but a dozen or so more were displayed on a "special" shelf with considerably higher prices. I'm not sure why they were not all together, but I'm glad I was able to walk away with at least a couple at a reasonable price.
gregoreverb, Martin T. Pecina, and 15 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Thanks. I was thrilled to find it this past weekend!
Very nice.
Thanks ala3letter! You'r definitey right -- that's some great stuff!
This looks so tasty

Crossovers Information
Anyone who has experience with audio gear will confirm that the crossover is one of the most essential components of a sound system. Engineers havent yet invented a "Perfect Speaker" that can play all frequencies with audiophile clarity and precision, so we use crossovers to split the sound between tweeters, midwoofers and subwoofers. Crossovers divide your music into high, low and midrange frequency ranges, and then directs signals to specific amplifiers or speakers. These crossovers contain low pass filters and high pass filters to isolate the high and low notes.. While many component systems include a passive crossover, those looking for an extra level of control and manipulation will use active, adjustable crossovers to split the sound between multiple drivers, and in some cases, multiple amplifiers.
Active or electronic crossovers are a key component when bi-amplifying, or using separate amplifiers for the tweeter and midwoofer. A 2-way crossover will split the sound between two drivers, while a 3-way crossover enables 3 drivers to work in conjunction. One of the most appealing features of an active crossover is the ability to adjust the crossover frequencies, and many models also allow you to adjust the slope as well. Shop our terrific selection of active and electronic crossovers and fine tune your sound!

Harm Reduction: An Alternative to 12-Step Recovery
By Marilyn Pittman
Dr. Patt Denning is the creator of the revolutionary San Francisco's Harm Reduction Therapy Center. Her book, "Practicing Harm Reduction" is the bible in this alternative approach to treating addiction. In the 1990's it became a new strategy for AIDS prevention and is widely regarded as a more tolerant and accepting strategy for working with addicts. Marilyn interviews her Thursday, July 3rd, 2014, at 7pm PT on 91.7fm and kalw.org.

Garage sizes?
What size is a good size for a 2 car garage (currently 2 SUV's but maybe switching to a pickup soon)? We will also use this for lots of storage (deep freeze, garbage, recycling, tools, workbench, sports equipment, lawn mowers, etc.). Is 24x21 a good size for such? What size do you have, what do you store and are you happy with the size? Thanks for all help!
Ours will be 28' X 40' with 12' ceilings. There will be a loft for storage. And enough room for a workshop area. I have absolutely no idea if this is enough for storage. It seems no matter how large our garage is, DH thinks its too small. We are a 2 car family, but live in snow country so need room for the snow blower.
I know our "standard" 2 car garage is not big enough for our car AND our pick up truck! We park our car in there along with a 4-wheeler. We have some things stored around the sides and there is a small "bump out" in the back but that has a workbench! Not very big :(
Ours is 36'x26'. Three 10' wide x 8' tall doors. Honestly, for a large pickup 26' doesn't even seem deep enough!!! Don't forget to make it even deeper if you are doing a stairwell.
Heed Tinycastles warning on stairs, they can render a stall useless.
We have a 25x25 two car with two doors and a third bay seperated that's 11x21. All with 9' wide doors.
With SUVs or pickups, I think 25 is a minimum for depth. We used the 25' width to keep the stairs out of a bay and have a place for a sink. Because we don't plan on having big SUVs (just small ones or a minivan) we put cabinets and shelve at the back of the garage.
To the OP-I don't even think you're close with that size. Our garage is 26' X 26' and we don't use it for half of what you want to use yours for, and really, it's a 1 car garage with my husband's full-size truck in there. With all you plan on using your garage for (especially the lawn mowers and storage), you really need at least one of the small additional bays. You will not be able to park 2 cars, have storage, shelving, and lawn machinery in a 24' X 21' garage and have it be functional.
We've lived in many different homes during out 45 year of marriage, and no matter how big the garage, DH always says it's not big enough. Hmmm...anyone else ever hear that?
The garage in our new home will be 40'X 29' with 12' ceilings. There will be a loft area for storage, a utility area with sink, and a stairway down to the basement. We haven't even moved in yet, and he's already talking about building a small barn/shed for "stuff".
Ours is 26x26 but we only put my vehicle (an Outback) in there. DH has a pickup and doesn't care about putting it in the garage, or doesn't care enough to get rid of some of the crap. We keep 2 lawnmovers, a deep freeze, a snowblower, lots of yard tools and a ton of boxes leftover from the move (which was 5 years ago) in there. If it was organized we could fit 2 vehicles with the other necessary stuff, but it would be tight. I didn't want a 3 car garage (many reasons, not important for this thread). We will likely add a barn later because DH also has a boat and a trailer.
24 ft is minimum depth I would consider anything more is great. Length is up to you but you should have a minimum of 3 ft on either side of the door(s). Anything more is a bonus. I would also use 9 ft wide single doors or 18 ft wide double doors with trucks/ SUVs and 8 ft tall
I would say 24 X 24 at a minimum for trucks/SUVs to be able to have space to get around it and have room to open doors and unload the trunk with the garage door closed. Another 2 or 3 feet on each side would be great (an extra bay? whoopee! lol), but anything less and I think you will be sorry!
DH always says it's not big enough. Hmmm...anyone else ever hear that?
I've lived it for years!
We average 5-6 vehicles for two drivers, plus a trailer and lots of homebuilding tools and supplies. When I was running rental homes, our two and three car garages looked like a used appliance store. Fortunately we're not stuck in some homeowner association Hell that doesn't allow vehicles on the driveway at night.
Ralph Lauren's Garage Photo: Vanity Fair Jan. 2011
OMG, I see I have two postings. I didn't think the first one posted, everything froze up, and then the window closed. I didn't think it "took". Sorry about that.
Worthy, I've lived in those "covenant" communites, and although I was often grateful for the rules, in some instances it can be a PITA.
If you are considering a two car I would go 24x24 minimum. I have an oversized three car that is 40ft. wide by 24ft. deep on the two car section and bumps out to 28ft. deep on the 16ft. wide third bay. I can park my extended cab GMC full size truck on the 24ft. deep side with enough room for a small chest freezer in front of it. It's tight but it fits. Definately don't go less than 24ft. deep. I am already planning to add another detached garage ASAP.
A 6m x 6m x 3m can perfectly fit a double garage for two cars.
Here is one example with several sizes, it also has a floor plan so you can have a better idea. Hope it helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: Garage types information
I'm with chad_m. My GMC crewcab short bed, won't even come close to fitting in our current garage. DH drives a Dodge stretch cab dually. We are bound & determined to be able to park our trucks inside on our new house.
The garage on our future plan is 26 x 38, and we're thinking of making it a little bigger. We have the shop at the other farm, and the barn for other random crap, but after fighting a standard 2 car for 12 years...
I think the garage might be bigger than the house by the time we're done! lol
Here's a floor plan that my wife and I recently constructed. It works for us and allows us several sq. footage of storage. Plus you could always build a second story if you require more as others have suggested.

Comic-Con: 'The Walking Dead' Season 4 Trailer, Premiere Date Revealed
New showrunner Scott M. Gimple also makes his debut as the producers and cast tease what to expect in Season 4.
Scott M. Gimple made his Comic-Con debut as The Walking Dead's newest showrunner on Friday to a packed Hall H, offering the first footage of season four, a premiere date and his vision for the series.
"Things are going to be way crazier; it's an escalation," comics creator Robert Kirkman said of what to expect in the fourth season, which will premiere Sunday, Oct. 13 at 9 p.m., followed by the season premiere of The Talking Dead. The second half of the season will return in February.
PHOTOS: 'The Walking Dead's' Most Shocking Deaths
"It's been crazy. We did the first episode, I wrote it and it blew my mind," Gimple said of how his new gig has been so far.
With so many characters being killed off on the series, EP Gale Anne Hurd revealed that the producers made a trip to surprise actress Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori) to see her new play, with EP Greg Nicotero noting that he has remained in contact with Jon Bernthal and Jeff DeMunn, whose characters both died during season two.
This season, Gimple said fans shouldn't get too comfortable with the nature of the threat of the Governor -- or even walkers. "They might get a little comfortable, but then things might get a little dangerous," he said of threats on the series that have included the evolution of walkers.
PHOTOS: The 'Dead' and the Red: 'The Walking Dead Cast in Character and on the Red Carpet
The first footage of season four revealed that the walkers are quickly closing in on the prison, which is now employing tricks Rick picked up on from Morgan (Lennie James). Additionally, someone attacks inside the prison -- with Rick and Tyreese (Chad L. Coleman) looking to find out just who's behind it. Also, comic character Bob Stokey seeks to lend a hand and earn his keep among the group.
Star Andrew Lincoln previewed that Rick will be in a completely different place when the zombie drama returns and that the decision to return to the dilapidated prison will be explained.
"We answer it this season," Lincoln teased, noting that his relationship with son Carl (Chandler Riggs) would hugely influence Rick's decision making. "The relationship with Carl is integral to the beginning of the season from Rick. [Carl] turning into a sociopath at the end of the season woke him up to his parenting duties. You find Rick in a completely different place this season."
"The death of Andrea (Laurie Holden), combined with what happened with Carl was the catalyst to bring him to that point," Lincoln said. "The brutality of pushing people away in season three wasn't working for him and was cataclysmic for his family. When we meet them all in season four, there is a whole new community in the prison and friction between certain characters. It makes for incredible character-driven scenes."
David Morrissey defended The Governor and used the character's trademark tagline from Kirkman's comics for his character's killing spree in the season-three finale. "He feels as if they betrayed them," he said with a smirk. "He went off with two of them -- he didn't kill them all."
For his part, Norman Reedus (Daryl) reiterated that his beloved character will continue to take on responsibilities within the group following the death of his racist older brother, Merle (Michael Rooker). "Without Merle around, he can find his sense of self-worth he never would have found if this apocalypse would never have happened."
The typically press-shy Gimple let the cast take center stage during the panel but did say that the decisions the characters make will directly impact how others evolve on the series, reiterating his desire to keep season four more character-driven.
Watch the trailer, below, and stay tuned to THR for more Walking Dead coverage as the season approaches.

I would like to note that not all "wrong" stances are equally wrong in magnitude. As Asimov once said, "[When] people thought the earth was flat, they were wrong. When people thought the earth was spherical, they were wrong. But if you think that thinking the earth is spherical is just as wrong as thinking the earth is flat, then your view is wronger than both of them put together."

Taylor Swift + Ed Sheeran Duet 'Everything Has Changed' Leaks
One of the highest anticipated songs off of Taylor Swift's 'Red' is her duet with Ed Sheeran-- and luckily for fans of both artists (but perhaps not for their labels), the track leaked!
One of the highest anticipated songs off of Taylor Swift's 'Red' is her duet with Ed Sheeran-- and luckily for fans of both artists (but perhaps not for their labels), the track leaked!
Taylor Swift rocks a messy bedhead on the cover of the new Rolling Stone. Her smoky eye makeup is smeared and looks "last night" and she has a varsity jacket thrown over her shoulders. America's Sweetheart has legs for days, and looks like she had a rough night, and plays against type.
Taylor Swift took the stage at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards to perform a trifecta of hits. The songbird treated her British fans to 'Love Story,' 'You Belong With Me' and her latest offering, the title track from 'Red.'
Are you a fan of Taylor Swift? Then good news, kids! Because the singer just gave us a sneak peek -- er, listen -- to her new song 'Begin Again' off of her album 'Red' after a video appearance on 'Good Morning America'!
As if her first single 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' didn't build enough hype for 'Red,' Taylor Swiftis launching a full-fledged countdown leading up to the album's Oct. 22 release.
While some stars hit the right notes when it came to red carpet outfits, others fell flat at the VMAs. In these worst dressed pictures from the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, see some far-from-flattering ensembles from some unlikely candidates like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Rita Ora and Alicia Keys... and some not-so-surprising faux pas from rappers 2 Chainz and Nicki Minaj.
If there is one thing we know about Taylor Swift, she's as wholesome as a glass of milk. She's the kind of girl you want to bring home to mom or take as your date to a…wedding! She's not the type to embarrass you by downing shots and ripping off her top when the DJ starts spinning 'It's Raining Men' at the reception.
However, Swift's presence on the arm of her boyfriend Conor Kennedy was not desired at a family wedding in New England over the weekend. In fact, the mother of the bride asked Swift and Kennedy to stay away and when they ignored her warning and crashed the wedding, she requested that they leave.
- Taylor Swift has dethroned Kesha as the female artist who has sold the most digital downloads in a week. Swift's kiss off anthem 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' sold 623,000 copies this past week, besting Kesha's 'Tik Tok,' which sold 610,000 copies in 2010.
- After debuting her new song 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' last night, Taylor Swift has released the corresponding lyric video. A cute little diddy, the video looks like third grade diorama project
Taylor Swift just made history with 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.' We bet she can't believe it!
Taylor Swift had a big night at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, sharing her joy with a very special someone as her date.
Taylor Swift has been experimenting with her style recently: She strayed from her trademark sparkly dresses and cowboy boots to more glam, couture style and chopped her once-signature blonde ringlets into straight bangs. Now she's taken an even bigger leap. The singer, who previously bragged that she's never colored her natural honey blonde hair, has gone brunette!

During the Italy-Russia Business Forum in Trieste, Italy, Fincantieri secured a contract to build a semi-submersible floating platform for the transportation of nuclear submarine reactor compartments. The company also signed an agreement to define plans for an advanced technology offshore energy drill-ship.
Radio-acitve waste management liftboat contract
Fincantieri has been contracted by RosRAO, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise for radioactive waste management, to build a semi-submersible floating platform for the transportation of nuclear submarine reactor compartments. This platform will be built in the Group's Italian yards for delivery by the end of 2015; at 82 metres long and 27 metres wide, it will have a 3,000 ton displacement. It will be used to transport special material between the storage area and White Sea shipyards facing the Kola Peninsula.
Drill-ship design
Fincantieri say they will will work together with the Krylov State Research Centre on a project to develop a drill ship able to operate in particularly difficult conditions, in full respect of the environment and crew safety. This highly advanced vessel will be able to navigate in ice up to 1.5 metres thick and ambient temperatures of -40°C and will have a 4-month operational autonomy.
The company explains that this agreement is of great importance because the steady retreat of artic sea ice will allow access over the medium to long term to vast hydrocarbon reserves, of great interest to the major international oil companies. In fact, in the absence of appropriate technology, low temperatures and the presence of ice have been the major obstacles up until now to accessing these resources.
Giuseppe Bono, Fincantieri CEO, commented: "This day is doubly significant for us: not only has the alliance with our Russian friends been strengthened by the placing of a prestigious order, but the agreement signed today with Krylov launches the operational phase of our collaboration with this prestigious research institute. We're ready to work together to harness the great potential in the oil & gas industry and in the cruise sector, which is looking towards new areas of development."
