Alice, how many family members did you lose in WWII? I know German Jew living in Menden who lost 48 family members. He himself was sent to France by his father. He survived the war and it is currently married to a Catholic woman. It is a fascinating story.

Hi Lori, Sounds like a good book. I've also struggled with an abusive EX-husband and wrote a memoir book. I will check yours out.

Hi Everyone, My name is Barb and I wrote a book with my memoirs called, "Walking Down Life's Path" by Barbara A. Foley. It's short stories throughout my life and hopefully some are funny, some sad, others have some type of message behind them. I also have it listed right now on goodreads as a giveaway. Would love to have reviews on it. Mostly about family life. My memoir stories are not in any particular order, they are short stories of pieces of my life and any story can be read individually. My book is listed on Lulu.com, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and some other book stores online.

[Alice]

Welcome Barb, I'm glad to hear someone else is writing bits and pieces of memoir in no particular order and on more than one subject. It not how I wrote Becoming Alice. this is so much more free and easy. Perhaps someday I'll put those pieces together to see what predominates. Good luck with "Walking Down Life's Path."

[Alice]

Hi Tannia, It's hard to answer your question as to how many family members where lost in wwii. I hadn't even met so many of them because transportation in those days was difficult ... no high speed trains or airplanes. I do know how many of us survived and it wasn't many. Let me see ... fifteen, exactly.

WWII was only the last of all the attempts since the beginning of time to wipe out the Jews in this world. None has succeeded so far. Obviously there is a lesson in there somewhere.

Hi Alice: I don't considered WWII the last attempt to wipe out all German Jews and nearby countries. The Muslim are still trying to find a way to wipe out Israel, once and for all! Look at the mess that is going on at the Middle East.

Actually in one occasion one high-ranked officer from Libia asked a German general, privately, to give him some tips as of how to eliminate Jews collectively. This believe it or not was on a German newspaper many years ago.

Contrary to popular opinion and collective belief, I don't think it is a Jewish thing. Look around the world. The massacre of Ruhanda comes to mind. North Korea is another very sad story with the killing fields. China horrific murderers during WWII against Japan, etc. I believe it is in our human nature to destroy those we considered our enemies or a plague.

I am still wondering why the people concentrate only on the Nazi atrocities of WWII when other countries like China and Russia also killed thousands of people. I recommend your read the books, The Rape of Nanking and Stalin. Once you are done with both of them, WWII will look different. I am not denying the atrocities done to German-Jews during WWII. They were inhumane. Please note that I used the phrase German-Jews because ALL Jews living in Germany were Germans. This is a small piece of information that have led to a lot of misunderstanding and miscomceptions.


When we moved from USA to Germany, we visited Bergen-Belsen the camp where Anne Franz and part of her family died. At the museum they have pictures of the conditions of the prissioners when the camp was liberated by the Allied and those pictures make you wondered, Why? Those images are still very vivid in my mind. We also took the tour of the facilities and for the first time that book came to live. I was able to understand many more things and my heart ached deeply.

Maybe between your book and mine, WIP, one day the whole story will be told and the world would understand that many Germany lost their lives trying to kill Hitler. And that many German women where killed and raped by the Russians. Many Germans suffered hunger. And still today Germans has a collective "mia culpa" that won't allow them to move on and become a prosperous nation again.

Good luck with your book.

My book explores family dynamics of grief following perinatal loss, specifically the often disenfranchised grief of grandparents. The proceeds are donated to agencies supporting bereaved families.

Hello all

I hope you enjoy the following excerpt from my book, "Survivors: The A-bombed Trees of Hiroshima".

...Peace Memorial Park is the literal and figurative heart of Hiroshima, as I was privileged to learn over the course of a four-year stay in the city. This green oasis, at what was once the hypocenter of an atomic blast, is the most visible sign of the city’s renaissance as a vibrant and forward-looking center, and a force for peace in the midst of the turbulence of 21st century politics. But it is not the only reminder of the tenacious spirit of life in Hiroshima. Less well-known outside of neighborhood boroughs are the scores of “survivors” dotting the metropolitan landscape. These treasured trees, shrubs, and groves date from before the atomic bombing on August 6th 1945. For whatever reason, they were spared from annihilation, and are now carefully tended by the schools, homes, temples, and shrines entrusted by fate with their care.

I don’t remember the first time that my wife and I stumbled across one of these living legacies, but I do know that they quickly took on a very personal meaning. Timing undoubtedly played a part: Mandy had recently lived through a cancer scare, and found in their endurance and vitality a tangible metaphor for hope. But identifying them and learning their stories also became a fascinating challenge for us, given her background in environmental science, mine in translation, and our collective interest in photography. It was quickly obvious that very little documentation was available on these trees. There were no maps in English detailing locations or histories, and in many cases, their historical importance was indicated by only the briefest of plaques in Japanese. The “tree hunt” thus became an engaging weekend hobby, taking us from one end of the city to another, season after season, eventually year after year, as we talked with priests and housewives and many others, gathering stories and pictures. The fruits of these efforts are presented here, and it is my hope that they provide the reader with a sense of the inspiration that is life in Hiroshima.

Hi there!

I recently published The Katrina Diary, an account of what it was REALLY like to be caught up in the middle of the hurricane season of 2005.

I wish I could post it under fiction-- lots of bad memories, still-- but it's all completely true. :)

Somewhat Off Topic, but a friend of mine is looking for a writer. Do you fit the bill?

[Lily]

Hi

I am Lily Clark, author of 'Chronicles of a London Girl': memoirs of my life covering the years 1938 to 2009.

Life is a complex of roads on a map and this is a story of each road I travelled. It is a story of a young girl making her way in the world, discovering the many pitfalls and problems, coping with human relationships and simply trying to survive during some very difficult times. It is a story with which a great many people will identify, which includes my being evacuated from London during The Blitz in 1940 and the Rock & Roll Years of the fifties, followed by the struggles that come with family life.

Hello Vonney,

First let me apologise for not getting in touch sooner as I have been on holiday.

How pleased I am that you would like to add my book to your collection. I am still deciding whether to go with a publisher or personally publish. So at the moment you can buy my book on Lulu.

I still have not seen a finished copy from Lulu only one from my English printers.

If you would like to order one please go to www.lulu.com
The title of the book is 'Chronicles of a London Girl' by Lily Clark.

Hope you enjoy reading it.

[Vonney]

Ok Lily, I ordered your book. Will be here in a week or so, as I used the cheap mail. Can hardly wait to read it. And please don't apologize for not getting in touch sooner. Because of work I sometimes can't get
on the Internet for several days at a time. Hope you had a good holiday. Will be in touch.
Later,
Vonney (yyoung001@nc.rr.com)

Hi Vonney,
If you like books like Lily's, check out 'Moggie Grows Up' by Margret Gail.
Margret is a retied teacher and wrote the book for her pupils to help them understand what it was like to be evacuated to avoid the blitz. Can you imagine the culture shock, from built up London to the wilds of east anglia, without mum and dad! It is well worth a read, it is available on Amazon.
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]

[Precious]

Hi Everyone! My memoir was recently published and it's about my very bizarre childhood. At birth my mother (who just happens to be a Nigerian princess) advertised in a magazine ("baby girl needs new home") and then sent to live permanently with the first person to respond to the ad. The book's called 'Color Blind' in the US and 'Precious, A True Story' in the UK edition. USA Today called it: "a startlingly powerful memoir." The Boston Globe called it: "Gorgeously written with a fiercely honest voice." :)

[Vonney]

Precious,
Just downloaded your book on my Kindle. Looking forward to diving into it. Will keep in touch.

[Vonney]

Paul Rix,
Just ordered "Moggie Grows Up" new from an NC bookstore. Looking forward to reading more about the blitz in England. My son worked for 1+year in Scotland and a friend's daughter attended school in Leeds at the same time, so I tried to brush up on my UK geography and history. I never realized so many Brits were killed by the bombing. Simply startling how the Fuhrer was able to take over so much of Europe as if all their leaders were asleep at the helm, or like deer caught in headlights. I will never understand that. The UK never gave in to him.

Hello Vonney,

Lily,
Mailman delivered it a few days ago, and I have read the first 36 pages and loving it. I am obsessed with memoirs and would like to write my own. However, I grew up in a tiny farm town in southeast Kansas during the 50s and 60s, and I have been unable to come up with an interesting way of writing about it. Can't do it without lots of humor.

[Milton]

@Vonney
A little historical correction. The UK was not totally defiant in Hitler's expansion. Chamberlain and other European leaders allowed Hitler to constantly violate restrictions beginning with his occupation of the Rhineland. Also remember that Hitler defeated these nations in battle. They didn't just sit on their hands while he invaded their countries. Thousands of Poles, French, Belgians and others died, too. Hilter's advantage was the reluctance of ALL European leaders to react and the superior battle tactics and strategy he perfected during the Spanish Civil War.

Hello Vonney glad you are enjoying my book. I would love to read all about your life growing up on a farm during the 50's. I know that all of a sudden you will think of a way of starting it and then there will be no stopping you.
Look forward to hearing from you.

[Vonney]

Thanks, Lily, I keep your encouragement in mind. Actually, I grew up in a farming community. I lived inside the city limits. Dad grew up on a farm, and his second job was helping his friends with their plowing, planting and harvest...mostly wheat and soybeans. Most of my classmates were farm kids and had to help their folks on the farm. Our town was much like living in "The Summer of 42" or "The Grapes of Wrath" after the Great Depression. There was lots of growth in the 50s and 60s. Now, lots of tumbleweeds roam those streets. London and England have a romantic appeal. Must be my love of Jane Eyre and Jane Austen. The Great Plains are rugged. LOts of young people have left there because of no jobs. Didn't mean to go on this long. Will continue reading.

[Lynette]

Many of us have experienced a longing to reach some inexpressible place. I happen to believe that our yearning has everything to do with God.

My new book, "VOYAGE: A Quest for God within Christian Tradition," is a spiritual memoir of down-to-earth interaction with an ancient Christian liturgy, Scripture, and teachings from the Wise Ones in the faith. I invite you, my fellow travelers, to eavesdrop in on my struggles and perhaps in the process, ponder your own quest for God.

Hello everyone, I wish you all the best with your publications. As the folder suggests, my genre so far is nonfiction: here is my list to date!

A Compendium of Essays: Purcell, Hogarth and Handel, Beethoven, Liszt, Debussy, and Andrew Lloyd Webber As the title displays, this publication features several essays spanning the gamut of musical styles and eras, from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Impressionist periods to the modern musicals of the West End and Broadway. Each essay concentrates on a famous composer and a landmark composition or an important topic particular to each era.



Handel's Path to Covent Garden Many Classical music lovers are familiar with the composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) for his famous “Messiah” oratorio, but are not aware his preferred area of composition was Italian opera seria. Biographical books explore his career as an opera composer and the rise of the new pious genre when Italian opera was no longer popular in London, but rarely do we find detailed accounts or discussions of that strange period in the 1730s when this shift in popularity forced Handel to leave the Haymarket theatre and join with John Rich at Covent Garden where he tried to carry on the Royal Academy opera company in competition with the new Opera of the Nobility venture founded by the Prince of Wales before he was finally forced to abandon opera in favour of the oratorio. This book explores this rocky transition period and how it affected Handel’s work, namely, his addition of French elements into his operas and other novel innovations in order to regain his chagrined public. There are discussions exploring the possibility Handel was his own worse enemy with regards to his business decisions as impresario-composer, alienating the Italians of London and his public, which nearly cost him his career. A fascinating study for Handel admirers.

Faust: My Soul be Damned for the World Volume 1 Faust: My Soul be Damned for the World Vol. 2 A comprehensive exploration of Dr. Faust, the man who sold his soul to the Devil, and those who dared to tell his tale.

Right now, I'm working on my first fiction novel,let's hope it turns out well. : )

[Zombiestopperuno]

My book is an orphan, caught between the categories of fiction and non-fiction. Also it has a misleading title, "Zombiestop Parade." There are no zombies in it. It's a street-savvy satire of socio-economic culture that will appeal to readers who consume more non-fiction than fiction (as I do).

I think my blog gives a good sense of the book, combining Jersey Shore satire with reviews of Empire of Illusion.

Hi! My name is Anita and I'm the author of When God Speaks--40 Days of His Promises and Transformed--Inspiring Stories of Freedom. The first book is great for women who need encouragement and want to understand what God's promises are really all about. The second book is a collection of stories from men who were released from the bonds of addiction by the power of God. It's a great book for families and friends who may have someone they know struggling with an addiciton. It is sure to bring hope and encouragement.Both are avalable on Amazon. Here's the link http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos... or visit my web-site at http://www.anitaestes.com Also, does anyone know how to set up an author dashboard? Someone recommended do that on Goodreads. Thanks and have a blessed day.

[Amy]

Hi Anita,
I've had some success simply with a presence on Face Book and Twitter, offering lots (LOTS!) of free advice and content in my expertise. It's not a hard sell that does it--it's establishing relationships with folks who share an interest in your subject. I'm at facebook.com/amy.shojai to see some of what I do (post my blog, links to free content, radio show, etc). My expertise is dogs and cats, so many of my "friends" have pets and share their stories in turn.

[Julia]

Hi Fellow Writers and Readers! In this book you'll find out how share how 35 extraordinary men have raised and inspired their children. It's for mothers and fathers alike, as great dads like the CEO of Habitat for Humanity, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, best-selling authors like Thomas Moore and Dr. John Gray (and 31 others) share their raw stories of raising their own kids--what works, what doesn't and why.

I wrote this book for a very personal reason: I was a single mom for the first 7 years of my son's life and I had to figure out what great fathers do... Please post your feedback. Love to you! -Julia If I Were Your Daddy, This Is What You'd Learn

Island in a Storm
Abby Sallenger

Choice magazine of the American Library Association has named ISLAND IN A STORM an outstanding academic title for 2010.

It's a true story of the sea rising relative to the land—and the land changing in ways that made the island, and the people who lived there, vulnerable to a great storm. It's about the people who faced that hurricane, and how they came into harm's way by seemingly disparate, sometimes odd intersections of science, culture, disease, and agriculture. In the end, the book is about an island dying and what this means for the world's barrier islands in a warmer world.

The Middle East Revolutions: A Framework for Analysis

My name is Catherine Claxton-Dong. I received a Ph.D. from Cornell University and have spent over a decade now working on categorizing different kinds of major revolutions in history. When revolutions in the Middle East began to take place, I realized that I should combine that portion of the book I was working on which dealt with similar revolutions, into a comparison and analysis of these present-day revolutions.

I published my book on Amazon's kindle for $2.99. Amazon now offers a free app so that kindle books can be read on pcs and mobile devices, as well.

If you're interested in what is going on in the Middle East, and enjoy history, I think you will find this short, yet well-documented and reader-friendly book well worth your time.

[Robert]

Hello,
My new book "Women, War & Hypocrites: Studying the Qur'an" (9781897009536) is available from Amazon and other outlets, as is my earlier book "Reading the Qur'an in English: An Introductory Guide" (9781897009406).
My objective in both of these books is to help people read the Qur'an for themselves, so that they can form their own views on the extent to which both Muslims and non-Muslims use or abuse this sacred text in support of their actions.

[Timothy]

Hi,
Noble aims Robert, I wish you well. I'm not sure what is worst, ignorance or bigotry. I am one of these odd balls who genuinely doesn't care what an individuals chosen beliefs are. That is their business, and no-one else's, all this requires of me is I respect their views and they respect mine. It is not right or wrong, just different, what is right for one may not be right for another.
This happy state of affairs is down to the fact I am comfortable with my 'beliefs', how ever ill defined these maybe, but I don't feel threatened by differing views.
All of this means I can count many people as genuine friends from all manner of differing ethnic and religious back grounds. What is wrong is the dogmatic side of all religions, the 'I am right, therefore every one else is wrong brigade'. These are the ones who ram it in your face. All I can say is, despite their protestations, they are either thick or very insecure in what they claim to believe in.
Now, I might well have got this all wrong, but in essence ALL? the major religions have the same underlying message, and have over the passage of time 'mutated' to suit a particular culture. I concede this is a very simplistic view, but without writing a book on the subject, it at least conveys what is after all just my take on the subject.
Anything which helps understanding another's point of view has to be good, you don't have to agree, but understand and accept.
I hope this all makes sense, and I wish you all the best with your books. I might not be Muslim, but I have friends who are, real friends! and real friends are priceless.
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]

It also includes many new or newly revised essays and poems.

Table of Contents

Part One: Reactions to Homophobia, An Essay

Reactions to Homophobia: Introduction. “Unlike gay people, I don't tell people what my wife and I do in bed.” “They can be gay, as long as they hide it.” “If a normal guy or a white guy gets beat up, hate crimes laws can't help him. That isn't fair.” “I’m not queer, so why I should care about those people?” “We shouldn't have to see gays when we watch TV or movies.” “I would accept gays, but I believe in family values.” “Family members spending time with their gay relatives would suggest that they endorse that lifestyle.” “They live that gay lifestyle.” “It's an insult to African Americans to compare being gay to being black.” “The parts don't fit.” “If we weren't so tolerant of gays, there wouldn't be any.” “I wouldn't mind gays if it weren't for them checking me out.” “Having gay parents makes children gay.” “Gay people should try to be cured.” “Homosexuality is a mental illness.” “If everyone were gay, we'd stop having children, and die out.” “You deserve what happens to you, because you choose to be gay.” “Accepting homosexuality destroyed empires like Greece and Rome, and even led to the Holocaust.” “They recruit.” “They just haven't met the right person of the opposite sex yet.” “Gays can't adopt, because their children will get teased, and that isn't fair.” “God sent AIDS to the homosexuals because He loves His children and wants to turn them back to Him.” “God didn't create Adam and Steve.” “The Bible says it's wrong.” “The Bible says God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of gays.” “I love the sinner, hate the sin.” “Anyone who condones homosexuality can’t be religious or moral.” “We can't allow gay marriages, because tradition protected heterosexual marriage and reproduction for thousands of years.” “Public schools need to quit hiring gays and quit promoting homosexuality.” “Gays can't serve in the military, because that would disrupt efficiency.” “Surveys prove gays are a much smaller number than they claim, that their average lifespan is 44 years, and that they have 5000-15,000 partners per year.” “Homosexuals are just a bunch of men dressing up like women.” Reactions to Homophobia: Conclusion.
