Sundance Resort Author Series



If you are interested in listening to the podcasts for authors discussing their books at the Sundance Resort Author Series, you can click here to download those from iTunes. You can give this a try by downloading the discussion with Stephenie Nielson, author of Heaven is Here. It's pretty great to spend an hour with an author giving their thoughts on writing, and then answering questions. And, amazing that you can do this for free while doing chores at home—or whenever you decide to listen—instead of flying to Utah, driving to Sundance, and paying $75/ticket to attend. Not that it wouldn't be enjoyable!


Here's a bit on the podcast to help you decide if it may interest you:

"Stephanie Nielson began writing about her life in 2005, in what soon became a very popular blog (nieniedialogues.com). In August 2008 she and her husband were in a horrific plane crash in which Stephanie suffered burns to 80% of her body and spent four months in a coma. In her book, Heaven is Here, Stephanie shares the extraordinary story of her unlikely survival and the love that helped her along the way – from a gripping account of the crash to her courageous battle to overcome the odds and return to her family."

September book group

We will discuss Ella at Dulsanna's house Tuesday, September 25. All are welcome, even if you haven't read the book. It should be a good discussion, as I've heard people both like and not like the book.

Ella books

I got a call from the Troutdale Library yesterday. Someone turned in one of the Ella Minnow Pea books. I checked them out as a collection of 10 books, so please let me know who returned it, so I can cross you off my list. This is what I have so far:

Cami and Glennda returned books to me.
Amanda, Amy, Diane, Dianne, Terese, Mary, A.J., Renae and myself still have books. Plus I have 2 extras.

Let me know if I can pass two off to anyone else. I've had feedback of both ends of the spectrum, so this should be a good discussion on Sept. 25.
