Book excerpt: Inklings from Cape Cod is an eclectic mix of traditional and non-traditional writing lessons and the pieces that they inspired. Created primarily during a week at a Cape Cod summer workshop, the book's selections are authored by students in 6th through 12th grade. The writing pieces featured in Inklings span the gamut from six word stories, to dramatic drafts and eclectic exercises to crafty characterizations, private poetry, wordly wonderings, fabulous fiction, noteworthy nonfiction, lively letters, sensational settings, toddler tantrums, articulate alliteration, and trustworthy teaching techniques. This collection, an accolade to the young authors, has something for readers of all ages, writers of all levels, and teachers who like to be wowed. This coffee table text is unique with motivating mini writing lessons accompanied by the inspiringly creative student responses. The editor is a seasoned, award winning teacher and published journalist. Thirty-six extremely motivated, enthusiastic Cape Cod summer writing workshop students inspired teacher Stephanie Boosahda to create this anthology. On the third day of the five day workshop she found herself again saying, "Those pieces were awesome. Seriously, they should be published." Responding with total silence, the students from as far away as Michigan and Kansas joined Cape Cod students in letting Stephanie's words echo, "Those pieces ... should be published." So, adventure into the diverse creative writing of these exceptional 6th through 11th graders, and see why well-know authors have commented:  "A joy to read, and an awesome voyage into the creative minds of young, imaginative writers..." - John Prophet, author of the Casey Miller Mysteries  "Fascinating and fun to read, with everything from six-word stories to longer pieces, "Inklings" demonstrates the many ways an inspired teacher can empower students to discover their creativity and develop their own unique and powerful voices." - Leslie Meier, author of the Lucy Stone Mystery series  " ... If these young writers continue honing their craft, the future of American literature looks very bright, indeed."- Elizabeth Moisan, author of Master of the Sweet Trade  "These collected voices blend together in a chorale of accomplishment. What a treat to read. What a joy to know that future novelists, memoirists, and poets have been fostered in this way to enchant tomorrow's readers." - Kathryn C. Dunlap, Director; Buzzards Bay Writing Project, Nat'l Writing Project; University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth  "Stephanie's design of the Workshop clearly provided an atmosphere of safety, trust, and risk-taking in writing that is obvious in the breadth and depth of the selections in this anthology. A wonderful read and a great resource." -K. Victoria Kazer-Townsend, retired English AP professor Delve into Inklings, enjoy, and be inspired. There's something for everyone in this eclectic read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She invites us along on a raucous tour of soul sucking jobs, marriage, and a teaching career, with accompanying disquisitions on blasphemous reading preferences, '60s pop culture, writing workshops, and other amusing detours and distractions on the way to publication. She also shares her keen insights into the role of a Southern writer in American literary culture, the experience of writing as a mother, and the process of novel writing as compared to a lengthy family car trip. Featuring guest appearances by other writers such as Fred Chappell, Max Steele, and Annie Dillard plus cameos by the likes of Patty Hearst, Richard Nixon, and Bon Jovi, Adventures in Pen Land celebrates writing as a form of play that Gingher has never outgrown. The lighthearted illustrations by novelist Daniel Wallace (author of Big Fish) serve to reinforce this refreshing message as they depict one writer and her imagination growing up together. Adventures in Pen Land conveys a writer's sheer doggedness, with a few bones of advice tossed in along the way. Candid and irreverent, but always humane, this memoir is must reading for fans of Southern literature, students of creative writing, and anyone who can't resist the treat of reading about a writer's resilience and dedication to her craft.

This book, The Science Files, is about the questions that listeners have been asking about science and the way the world, nature and the universe works. Compiled by Zurawski, the questions and answers in this book are lively, engaging and interesting discussions about a wide range of topics.

Download or read book The Peace of Christmas written by Diane M. Houdek and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Peace of Christmas offers an opportunity to reflect with Pope Francis on the many moods and challenges of one of the central realities of our faith: Our God became one of us, came to dwell in our midst, and began life as we all do, as a tiny baby, needy and vulnerable and dependent on the people around him for his very survival. Through the pope's insights and reflections, you will be comforted and challenged, enlightened and reassured. He knows that Christmas is many things to many people, often changing with the times and circumstances, with your experiences in the months since last Christmas. Just as God chose to become one of us, so our lives are shaped and changed by the world around us. While the book is divided into daily reflections, it's more a book for browsing than marching through day by day. Keep it someplace handy, pick it up when you have a few minutes of quiet. Turn to its pages when you feel frustrated with the hectic pace of preparations or when you feel suddenly struck by the wonder and beauty of this season. Let the words of Scripture and the words of Pope Francis move you to a new appreciation of the incarnation.
