Hi all!

Hope the summer has gotten off to a great start! I’m very excited to say that positive feedback keeps rolling in and I’m hoping for some good reviews soon. Poles Apart is out with both the Cleveland and Phoenix Jewish News for review and, hopefully, they’ll love it.

There are a couple of fun things coming up that I wanted to share. First off, I’ll be the Guest Muse on the Moody Muses Blog this Monday, June 21st! They were very kind to invite me and I can’t wait to see it go live. Check it out at www.moodymuses.com.

Also, if you’re in the valley and interested in writing, this is an excellent opportunity. Borders at Scottsdale Waterfront is offering a series of FREE workshops on all sorts of writing topics. The instructors are mostly published authors. I’ve been invited to teach memoir and will be doing a one night survey of my 8-week workshop, LifeStories: Memoir Writing. Each workshop is a stand-alone. You don’t need to attend the entire series to participate in one or several. I’m pasting in the schedule at the bottom of this e-mail. I notice at least one date is empty, so if I get an updated version I can send that out.

Just a reminder about the promotion I’m running. If you are in a book club(s) or know someone who is, and your (or their) book club chooses Poles Apart as a selection, I will give you, as a thank you, a copy of Frieda’s Favorites, a sixteen recipe guide to some of the Schlessels’ favorite Jewish foods. Also, I’m happy to join book club discussions, either in person or via skype. People are definitely taking me up on my offer. I have a meeting with the Chandler Chabad next week, the Phoenix chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in February, and a number of others in between. And I love giving away these cookbooks!

Hope this is the beginning of a great summer!
