Just checking in...

Here's the latest update on the time capsule-

Book is in process and progress. I'm excited about it. the work, but I have home life to think about and it makes for some interesting workarounds. It is beautifully silent in the grass green field of my mind. I've even had time to write letters that I put off for months after the wedding and home making.

I have been storing up energy and inspiration and I feel good about what's coming. The next project is the workshop, and I have at least a third of the class filled. I haven't touched the play I'd planned on, and the book gets a little time here and there, but the brunt of my creative energy is in the chapbook, and at the rate I'm going it'll be done next month. I'd like to thank A Word With You Press for their input and some key characters for their editing skills and feedback.

Just got a new project, so I best get to it, but HAppY NeW YeAr!!!

Raw Man Review

From the loving comfort of home, here's your Saturday Post!

Read the Examiner Review of Raw Man here.

Fred lived it and then wrote about it. I read it, and it informed me on many levels. My family started conversations and told each other stories about what we remember from our childhood.

I said in my review, "He hasn’t won any awards for writing, but I suspect he will." More than that, I hope he does. Here is my review of Raw Man.  I hope you, and many more people read his book.

Check out his website as well -- www.rawmanthebook.com.

Raw Man #3

Good day to you! Here is your Saturday Post!

He asked me at the launch party where I was in the book, I said something flippant like, "you were on a boat..." because I didn't want to tell him that his book is scary to my life story, and hard to read for more than pages at a time.

Yes Fred, I am reading your book. I thank you for the acknowledgment. I am going to write a review after I'm done reading. I am humbled by every page.

Again I say, the more I read of his novel, the more I am afraid to, but the more I need to. PTSD... there's a ping in there that links so many parts of my life. I have nothing to do with it really, but it has a LOT to do with me. I want to read more, learn more, do more, but I really feel like I need to shut up a stay here a minute with Raw Man.

Buy his book and let's talk about it, especially if you are children of Nam Veterans.

Fred is promoting his book and PTSD awareness. Click the image caption to see Fred's interview on KPBS. I am quite amazed by him, if you couldn't tell.

Raw Man #2

Good day to you! Here is your Saturday Post!

There is so much more to this, but for now, here is the Examiner Article for Fred Rivera's Book Launch. The more I read of his novel, the more I am afraid to, but the more I need to. I'm looking forward to writing and sharing this book review as a rite of passage and a forgiveness of the ignorance I used to own when it came to the war in Vietnam and PTSD.
