Publisher's Synopsis
Is my book fiction or nonfiction? You'll be the judge of that. Here's the hitch to get you to buy my semi-autobiographical book. My book is in two parts. "Episode I," the fun game, contains short entertaining and serious stories and poems. Because of the controversial subject matter, the shortness of my book, and the little-known fact that I'm not famous you go through unique "Episode I" hunting for hidden movie and song titles. There are approximately 775 movie, television, and documentary programs. Then there are the 341 songs, and an added "downright fun," to the game, by using 31 clues you go through finding an Oscar nominated actor for the Sherlock in all of us. Play on your smartphone, computer, or tablet at airports, coffee houses, appointments, and basically anywhere you have to wait. Play with family and friends to see who can find the most titles. Who is the actor? You'd be surprised. A lot of fun for the trivia and entertainment sleuth. Are you entertainment savvy enough to play the game? Just to let you know titles, names, short phrases, expressions, and ideas are not protected by copyright laws.
"Episode II," the second part, is the more serious part. "Communication in a non-confrontational manner promotes learning." This sentence is in my book. Communication, what is it? How can I get information to you in a non-confrontational manner that concern you and me? "Episode II," is a memoir containing journal entries, emails, and letters coping with a possible situation that could have ended in a mass shooting, the ups and downs of mental illness, postpartum depression, suicide, and my air traffic control experiences. All topics of conversation in today's society. My book is a collectible and the only one of its kind in the world. A little something extra--I have included some of my favorite easy recipes. Enjoy.
