Happy Friday everyone! Just a quick note to tell you that I recently did the editing of the back blurb and the one-line tag line for Leland Lydecker’s latest novel coming out, Necrotic City. Keep an eye out for it, probably in the next two weeks or so, and I’ll be sure to let you know when it drops officially. One Line Pitch: Necrotic City is a chaotic, decaying world populated by Heroes and Enforcers trapped in a dehumanized high-tech future all fighting for their survival.

Blurb: Adrian is a vat-grown human known as a Hero. Genetically-engineered Heroes, with their implanted nanotechnology, serve as the superhumanly resilient, altruistic peacekeepers of their creators, the Company, and the citizens who live in their tightly controlled city. Internal matters like corruption and criminal negligence are kept strictly out of a Hero’s jurisdiction, but when Adrian begins to uncover the ugly secrets of the government that created him, his sense of justice forces him to act. Cut loose in a city wracked by civil unrest, hunted by Enforcers and flesh hackers alike, Adrian quickly learns that there is no safe place for a Company man.

About the Author Leland Lydecker is a writer, professional driver, and former airline employee. No stranger to the ins and outs of government and corporate corruption, his preferred writing topics are crime, extra-judicial justice, and the future of society. His interests range from the natural world, to space exploration, to technology and medicine with an emphasis on genetic engineering, cybernetics, and artificial intelligence.

Beta readersare people who are most likely to buy and read your book. They play an important role in your publishing journey, as they see your book raw, naked, and parts you wouldn’t even show your mother. Make sure they are on your plan, as they will look at it with fresh eyes and tell you things you don’t necessarily want to hear. My daughter is a beta reader for a series of books by my client, since his “dragons” series (, ) is exactly in her age range. Edward will tell you one of the characters is based on her.

She tells him if it works, if it doesn’t and why it’s right or wrong. She makes suggestions to make it better. The Book Designer has. I believe in all of them, so I’m sharing what they said:. Don’t Give Them a Draft Your beta reader is still a reader — a reader who might tell other readers about your book.

It’s important to treat your beta readers right, and that begins with what you ask them to read. Don’t give them your first draft. In fact, be sure that what you give them is the very best writing you can produce on your own. Write your draft and set it aside for at least a week. Go back to it and rewrite it if you need to. Then set it aside for another week — again. Revise, revise, revise, until it isn’t remotely possible for you to do any better.

Your Manuscript, Their Way Before you send your manuscript to your beta readers, ask them what format they’d like it in. Beta readers might want to print your manuscript or read it on a Kindle. If they prefer the latter option, send them for how to get your manuscript on an e-reader. Do whatever you can to remove any obstacles that will prevent your beta reader from carving out time to read your book. Give Them Guidance Let your beta reader know what kind of feedback you’d like from them. Develop a checklist with questions you’d like answers to.

Do you want readers to comment on the strength of a character, or the organization of a concept? If you create a specific list of questions around content, beta readers won’t spend their time punctuating sentences. Adapt your revision checklist to meet the needs of each book your write. Don’t Take it Personally Remember, it takes a great deal of time to read and respond to a book. And your beta readers will have opinions that might sting a little. Be gracious for any feedback a beta reader gives you, even if you don’t agree with it. Ask yourself, “Will addressing this comment make for a better book?” If so, take their advice and apply it to your next revision.

If not, whatever you do, don’t defend yourself. Your beta reader already knows your position (you’ve done as you’ve seen fit, as evidenced by your manuscript) but they don’t agree. Thank them for their comments and move on. Return the Favour Remember, you’re not paying your beta readers to read your book.

They’re offering feedback because they want to help or they’re interested in your book’s premise or topic. If your beta reader asks you to be a beta reader in future, seriously consider returning the favour. And when it comes time to publish your book, give them a mention in your acknowledgements.

Everyone likes to see their name in “print.” Still confused as to why you need one, or what they are? Read on What is a Beta Reader, and why do I need one? What makes a good beta reader? The few, the proud, the beta readers Honestly, I’d tell you that you need a beta reader to help you revise your manuscript before you go looking for an editor. If you need one, I think I can point you in the right direction for that editor.

He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore, professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others – a very small minority – who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool.

Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you don’t know as your financial means, mortgage rates and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menancingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an anti-library.” ― Nassim Nicholas Taleb The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable Fragility My anti-library Kindle list Taleb’s book is part of my anti-library, ironically enough.

One of Goethe’s most radical points was a refutation of Newton’s ideas about the color spectrum, suggesting instead that darkness is an active ingredient rather than the mere passive absence of light. Light and darkness, brightness and obscurity, or if a more general expression is preferred, light and its absence, are necessary to the production of color Color itself is a degree of darkness. The Boy on the Wooden Box is on my Kindle since my son Jason went to hear Leon Leyson’s widow, Lis, speak on Holocaust Remembrance Day at the Fullerton Public Library. Leon Leyson was the youngest person ever saved by Oskar Schindler.

He was #289 on Schindler’s List. Be sure to read. As a history major in my undergrad days, this time period has always had a deep impact on me. I am sure it will be eye-opening and emotional. I’m reminded of Marlon Brando’s famous, in which he says that he used to read all the time, but finally stopped because information was of no use to him.

Grobel interviewed him on his island in Tahiti; Brando told him that he no longer read anything except Shakespeare. Everything that was worth knowing was contained in Shakespeare. Brando said: I used to read an awful lot.

Then I found that I had a lot of information and very little knowledge. I couldn’t learn from reading. I was doing something else by reading, just filling up this hopper full of information, but it was undigested information. I used to think the more intelligence you had, the more knowledge you had, but it’s not true. Look at Bill Buckley; he uses his intelligence to further his own prejudices. Why one reads is important. If it’s just for escape, that’s all right, it’s like taking junk, it’s meaningless.

It’s kind of an insult to yourself. Like modern conversation–it’s used to keep people away from one another, because people don’t feel assaulted by conversation so much as silence. People have to make conversation in order to fill up this void.

Void is terrifying to most people. We can’t have a direct confrontation with somebody in silence–because what you’re really having is a full and more meaningful confrontation. Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle: Some things are within our control, and some things are not. It is only after you have faced up to this fundamental rule and learned to distinguish between what you can and can’t control that inner tranquility and outer effectiveness become possible. AD 55 – 135) influential school of Stoic philosophy, stresses that human beings cannot control life, only their responses to it, keeping the focus on progress over perfection, on accomplishing what can be accomplished and abandoning unproductive worry over what cannot.

There were so many good articles this week on various literary things, that I couldn’t resist the opportunity to let you see my top four. Let’s begin with Maurice Sendak Today is Maurice Sendak’s birthday, June 10th. He would have been 88. “Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over.

I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received.

He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.” Continue with William Gibson (1984) was one of the best books I ever heard on audiotape (back in the day before Audible).

I’ve officially added a ton of places to go visit on my bucket list now –Sorry, Hubby! The below information comes directly from the Hereford Cathedral website, as who better to describe what is there than the curators of the Library themselves? If, one day I actually get to see this in person, I’ll be sure to re-blog and tell you my own personal thoughts. Until then Happy exploring.

The Chained Library at Hereford Cathedral is a unique and fascinating treasure in Britain’s rich heritage of library history. There were books at long before there was a ‘library’ in the modern sense.

The cathedral’s earliest and most important book is the eighth-century Hereford Gospels; it is one of 229 medieval manuscripts which now occupy two bays of the Chained Library. Hereford Gospels (detail) courtesy of This is the oldest complete book in Hereford Cathedral Library. It dates from around the year 800 AD and may be the earliest surviving book made in Wales. It contains the first four books of the New Testament: the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These narratives of the life, death and resurrection of Christ are regarded by Christians as their most precious and sacred writings. Chaining books was the most widespread and effective security system in European libraries from the middle ages to the eighteenth century, and Hereford Cathedral’s seventeenth-century Chained Library is the largest to survive with all its chains, rods and locks intact. Hereford Gospels (detail) courtesy of Hereford Cathedral Library and Archives A chain is attached at one end to the front cover of each book; the other end is slotted on to a rod running along the bottom of each shelf.

The system allows a book to be taken from the shelf and read at the desk, but not to be removed from the bookcase. The books are shelved with their foredges, rather than their spines, facing the reader (the wrong way round to us); this allows the book to be lifted down and opened without needing to be turned around – thus avoiding tangling the chain. There is an you can take a 360-degree tour of the library. Did You Know?.There has been a working theological library at the cathedral since the twelfth century, and the whole library continues to serve the cathedral’s work and witness both as a research centre and as a tourist attraction.The Chained Library has about 1500 books which date from the late fifteenth- to the early nineteenth-centuries.

Fifty-six of them are incunabula, i.e. Books printed before 1500.

If you ever wandered up into the attic to look at your grandparent’s old books, or through a used bookstore perusing the shelves, you know thatsmell. When you open one of the tomes and flip through the pages, did you ever wonder what causes that “ Old Book Smell“?

It is sort of a hint of vanilla, maybe a little grassy smell, with some mustiness? Lignin, the stuff that prevents all trees from adopting the weeping habit, is a polymer made up of units that are closely related to vanillin.

When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for second hand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of us. The Aroma of Books infographic courtesy of In the 1920s and 1930s, (1881-1942), an Austrian writer, journalist and playwright was one of the most popular writers in the world, at the height of his career. In, author George Prochnik explains: He often seemed more concerned with the smell, look, and feel of his work than with the actual words. Printer’s ink struck him as the most fragrant odor on earth — “sweeter than attar of roses from Shiraz.” Stefan Zweig. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images) Prolific author (1920-2012), of Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and many other works both inside and outside the realm of science fiction whose career spanned over 70 years,: There are two perfumes to a book.

If a book is new, it smells great. If a book is old, it smells even better. It smells like ancient Egypt. A book has got to smell.

You have to hold it in your hands and pray to it. You put it in your pocket and you walk with it. And it stays with you forever.

I have transcribed it below. This is why we’re here this evening. Lately I’ve been looking at books that stand on two long shelves in a room just down the hall from the room where I work. Early books, paperbacks every one, the first books I ever owned, and they resemble some kind of medieval plunder. Old and scarred, with weathered covers and sepia pages that might crumble at the touch of a human finger.

I’m the human in the story, and when I lift a book from the shelf, gently, I understand again the power of memory that a book carries with it. What is there to remember? Who I was, where I was, what these books meant to me when I read them for the first time. The House of the Dead. First Dell printing, June 1959. Adventures in the Skin Trade.

Epictetus

Dylan Thomas. Badly bruised copy. First printing, May 1956. Cover illustration includes a woman wearing black stockings and nothing else. There are numbers scrawled on the inside of the front cover. Did I writes these numbers? Do I remember the naked woman more clearly than I recall the stories in the book?

A Signet book. Thirty-five cents. Words on paper, books as objects, hand-held, each wrinkled spine bearing a title. The lives inside, authors and characters. The lives of the books themselves. Books in rooms. The one-room apartment where I used to live and where I read the books that stand on the shelves all these years later, and where I became a writer myself.

Many of these books were packed in boxes, hidden for years. Maybe this is why I find myself gazing like a museum goer at the two long rows in the room down the hall. Reflections in a Golden Eye. Carson McCullers. The margins of each page resembling the nicotine stains on a smoker’s hand back in the time when the book was written. Bantam Books, fourth printing, 1953. Twenty-five cents.

Are any of the writers of these old frail volumes still alive? I don’t have to study the authors’ names to think of recent departures. Friends: Gil Sorrentino and Peter Matthiessen and Edgar Doctorow. Others I did not get to know nearly as well. Bob Stone and Jim Salter. A set of written, printed or blank pages fastened along one side and encased between protective covers.

An old definition, needing to be expanded now in the vaporous play of electronic devices. But here are the shelves with the old paperbacks, books still in their native skin, and when I visit the room I’m not the writer who has just been snaking his way through some sentences on a sheet of paper curled into an old typewriter. That’s the guy who lives down the hall. Here, I’m not the writer at all. I’m the grateful reader. Thank you for this honor. In, he explained why he became a writer: Maybe I wanted to learn how to think.

Writing is a concentrated form of thinking. I don’t know what I think about certain subjects, even today, until I sit down and try to write about them. Maybe I wanted to find more rigorous ways of thinking.

We’re talking now about the earliest writing I did and about the power of language to counteract the wallow of late adolescence, to define things, define muddled experience in economical ways. Let’s not forget that writing is convenient. It requires the simplest tools. A young writer sees that with words and sentences on a piece of paper that costs less than a penny he can place himself more clearly in the world.

Words on a page, that’s all it takes to help him separate himself from the forces around him, streets and people and pressures and feelings. He learns to think about these things, to ride his own sentences into new perceptions. How much of this did I feel at the time? Maybe just an inkling, an instinct.

Writing was mainly an unnameable urge, an urge partly propelled by the writers I was reading at the time.

On Saturday, April 16th, I had the pleasure of going to Pasadena for the launch of Dr. Frankel’s book,.

Ageless Women, Timeless Women: Witty, Wicked and Wise Reflections on Well-Lived Lives What made Saturday more exciting was that I finally got to meet Lisa Graves, who illustrated this book. I have worked with Lisa in the past on her History Witch, and it was just wicked awesome to chat and share a glass (or two) of champagne #bubbles! And, for those of you who worry, I brought my handsome husband along, so there was no driving for me! Lisa Graves and I. Lisa’s illustrations highlight the stories and the quotations. It ties the whole book together in gorgeous muted watercolors.

I love everything she does. Lisa introduced me to Dr. Lois, and disclaimer I edited this book. It has to have been one of my all-time favorite books to edit, so thank you Lisa and Dr.

Lois for letting me be a part of this project. Focusing on women over 70, including some centenarians, Dr. Lois photographed and interviewed women around the world. She collected their advice, reflections and memories, capturing it in Ageless Women, Timeless Wisdom for future generations.

At the event, it was heartwarming to see and meet some of the women that were featured in the book. They all have led such interesting and fascinating lives. One can learn so much just by listening to their stories. The beauty of editing this, for me, was the deep connection and emotion that came from reading the stories and their quotations.
