The book has received glowing reviews from The Associated Press, Booklist, and Bookreporter, to name a few.</em></p> <p><em>Kushner's poetry and fiction have been influenced by Carl Jung and examine the power of myths and archetypal images at work in the world.</em></p> <p><em>Kushner is the founder and director of The Writer’s Place, a literary center in Madison, Wisconsin. She is a recipient of a Wisconsin Arts Board Grant in the Literary Arts and has been honored by a fellowship to the Wurlitzer Foundation, The Ragdale Foundation, and the Fetzer Institute as a participant of their first writers’ conference on compassion and forgiveness.</em></p> <p><em>Her work has been widely published in literary journals including IMAGE, Poetry, Prairie Schooner, Salmagundi, Witness, Fifth Wednesday and elsewhere.</em></p> <p><em>Kushner's most recent poetry collection More Alive Than Lions Roaring was a finalist for the May Swenson Poetry Award at Utah State Press, The Prairie Schooner Book Competition, the Agha Shahid Ali Prize at University of Utah Press and The Tupelo Prize. Her story “When You Open the Door, Where Are You?” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.</em></p> <p><em>She is on the core faculty of The Assisi Institute, a Jungian think-tank in Brattleboro, Vermont, and also holds the position of Poetry Editor for The Journal of Pastoral Care &amp; Counseling.</em></p> <p><em>Kushner grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey.

Just like the reader, she says she enjoys the experience of discovering the twists and revelations that make the stories so gripping. She says she’ll be discussing her debut as a novelist at the Fox Cities Book Festival, as well as her journey to publication in her career as a suspense author.</em></p> <p><em>“I am so honored to be attending the Fox Cities Book Festival this year,” Kubica says. “I can’t wait to meet fellow authors and readers throughout the Fox Cities area and get the opportunity to share my experiences with them.”</em></p> <p><em>After her first novel became successful, Kubica charged ahead with novel number two. "Pretty Baby was quite a different experience than The Good Girl for me for many reasons,” says Kubica.</em></p> <p><em>“First, I had a deadline, and I had never written with a deadline before. Second, I needed to have a proposal approved, and was working on edits for The Good Girl while simultaneously writing Pretty Baby — so I quickly learned the value of multitasking. That said, I learned a lot about myself and about storytelling while working on The Good Girl. This benefited me immensely on my second novel and will continue to benefit me for future works as well."</em></p> <p><em>"I wrote The Good Girl in secret, and sent if off to agents without a single friend or family member checking for typos," Kubica continues. "With Pretty Baby, on the other hand, I had a tremendous support network of friends, family, a devoted agent and a brilliant editor. Pretty Baby came together quite smoothly, though my third novel is now giving me great grief. I don’t think novels get easier or harder along the way; I believe they are all their own independent (and sometimes very stubborn) beings.”</em></p> <p><em>Kubica holds a BA degree in History and American Literature from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and says she can’t see herself writing anything other than mystery and suspense novels. She’s just signed a new contract with Harlequin MIRA for her third and fourth novels.</em></p> <p><em>“My third book is in the early stages of edits, while I’ve begun to brainstorm ideas for my fourth. I’m also very fortunate to be traveling to quite a few conferences this spring to meet and get to know eager, enthusiastic writers and readers — and come July will be traveling to promote Pretty Baby. It’s really amazing to be able to live my dream.”</em></p> <p><em>Kubica lives outside of Chicago with her husband and two children and enjoys photography, gardening, and caring for the animals at a local shelter.</em></p> <p>For more information</p> <p>Visit the author's website <a href="http://www.marykubica.com">MaryKubica.com</a></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Blog:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/adults" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Adults</a></div></div></div> Fri, 24 Apr 2015 18:47:31 +0000 odegard 4315 at http://neenahlibrary.org Fox Cities Book Festival 2015 Author Event http://neenahlibrary.org/blogs/adults/fox-cities-book-festival-2015-author-event-4 <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://neenahlibrary.org/sites/neenahlibrary.org/files/blogs/LettersaboutLit.jpg" width="290" height="77" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><strong>Letters about Literature Event</strong></p> <p>Saturday, April 25, 2015 1:00 PM Shattuck Community Room</p> <p><br /><em>The annual Letters about Literature competition gives Wisconsin students<br />an opportunity to write letters to authors, living or dead, about how a particular<br />book has affected their lives.

In the process of assisting his mother with her treatments, Schwalbe embarked on long discussions about books with his mother, also an avid reader. His memoir, The End of Your Life Book Club, grew out of this experience.</em></p> <p><em>At the Fox Cities Book Festival, Schwalbe will be discussing the book. He says, “This is a memoir I wrote about the books my mother and I read when she was dying of pancreatic cancer. But I like to think it’s really about what I learned from her, what we both learned from the books we read, and how books tell us what we need to do with our lives and in the world."</em></p> <p><em>Schwalbe, founder of Cookstr.com, has worked in publishing, most recently as senior vice president and editor in chief of Hyperion Books. The experience was nothing if not helpful.</em></p> <p><em>“I always wrote—starting in grade school,” says Schwalbe. “I wrote plays in college. I was a journalist right after. And I kept on writing. But I also love editing. I think the one thing you need to do, whether you are a writer or an editor, is read. Reading is everything. It teaches you how to write and it teaches you how to edit. So that’s the common thread.”</em></p> <p><em>Making electronic communication flow more elegantly is the driving force behind Schwalbe’s other book, SEND: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do it Better, co-written with his friend, David Shipley, who was then op-ed page editor of The New York Times.</em></p> <p>For more information:</p> <p>Visit Will Schwalbe's website at TheEndofYourLifeBookClub.com</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-blog field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Blog:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/blog/adults" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Adults</a></div></div></div> Thu, 23 Apr 2015 14:43:48 +0000 odegard 4308 at http://neenahlibrary.org Fox Cities Book Festival 2015 Author Event http://neenahlibrary.org/blogs/adults/fox-cities-book-festival-2015-author-event-0 <div class="field field-name-field-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="http://neenahlibrary.org/sites/neenahlibrary.org/files/blogs/StevenBrustBlog.jpg" width="290" height="78" alt="" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Writing and Book Talk with Author Steven Brust</p> <p>Thursday, April 23, 2015 7:30 PM Shattuck Community Room</p> <p><em>Prolific author Steven Brust is clearly comfortable working within the literary environment of fantastical, deeply layered stories involving an immense range of characters. He began writing novels with Jhereg, published in 1983, and hasn't stopped writing since.</em></p> <p><em>Last year's release of The Incrementalists takes readers down a slightly more recognizable rabbit hole, with a dizzying mixture of secret societies, murder, and immortality. It's also set in Las Vegas, the author's city of residence.</em></p> <p><em>Brust has written two series of novels set in the world of Dragaera, plus other novels and short stories. One would think his fingers have not left the keyboard since the early 1980s. "First of all, I wouldn't call it work, I'd call it play--after all, I'm telling myself a story, right?" explains Brust. "I like the stories I tell. It turns out that I'm the perfect audience for them."</em></p> <p><em>Brust was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and worked as a computer programmer and musician before he began his extensive writing career.</em></p> <p>For more information:</p> <p>To read more about Brust and his works, visit <a href="http://dreamcafe.com/">DreamCafe.com</a><br />Like something that Brust wrote?
