Genre: Nonfiction/Inspirational

BOOK BLURB:

Self-care is a buzzword often mentioned when people seek to optimize their health. Suggested self-care practices tend to include activities such as exercising, getting a massage, or eating a healthy diet. While all of these actions have their place, none of them are sufficient enough to provide the soul-care we need to maximize our self-care. Self-care without soul-care equates to temporary solutions that leave us searching for the next new thing. However, when Christ becomes the center of our holistic health journey, we not only find fulfillment in Him but also a dependency on and trust in Him to truly live our best lives-emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.

“If ever there has been a time in history when we need to connect with and cling to Christ, it is now. Loud divisive voices vie for our attention. World events distract. Personal challenges overwhelm. Staying connected to Christ takes effort, even for the most devoted believer. Connecting with Christ aids in fostering that connection. Yolonda Sanders chose contributors well, those who provide thoughtful, encouraging, helpful guidance in making connection to Christ a priority.”– Candy Arrington, author, Life on Pause: Learning to Wait Well

“Inspiration can wane when the winds of discouragement blow through our lives. Connecting with Christ offers 52 weeks of easy encouragement everyone can benefit from. Easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply to our wind-blown lives. Receiving inspiration from a variety of authors makes you feel like you’re family. Coming together to talk about life and how God’s truth plays an active part for all of us is priceless.”– Linda Goldfarb, Speaker-Trainer-Coach, Award-winning author of the LINKED Personality Series, helping you take your next best step- Relationally-Spiritually-Professionally (www.LivePowerfullyNow.org)

“Connecting with Christ is a unique, faith-filled, inspiring devotional designed to cultivate a thirst for the Word as you grow in your spiritual journey. You will feel the love of God and experience His goodness, grace, and faithfulness, which are woven throughout this work.”– La Verne Tolbert, Ph.D., author of How to Study and Understand the Bible (www.etaworld.org); Founder & CEO of Teaching Like Jesus Ministries, Inc. (http: //teachinglikejesus.org/); and host of Sunday School Made Simple (https: //www.youtube.com/c/SundaySchoolMadeSimple)

“Eternal, intrinsic, and unique, your soul is a touchpoint between you and God. A healthy soul is protection against agnosticism, hatred, prejudice, and superficial materialism. Yolonda Tonette Sanders and others provide a resource for the vital care and feeding of your soul and help you connect with the God who loves you.”– PeggySue Wells is the bestselling author of 29 books, including The Ten Best Decisions A Single Mom Can Make, and the founder of SingleMomCircle.com

🏰 Author Interview Featuring Robert Charles Lee, Author THROUGH DANGEROUS DOORS #authorinterview #interview #puyb @pumpupyourbook

 

I have a very talented gentleman here today to tell us all about his new memoir, Through Dangerous Doors. His name is Robert Charles Lee. Enjoy the interview but first, let's find out more about Robert and his hot new book...

Robert Charles Lee is a retired risk scientist with over twenty-five years of academic and applied risk analysis, decision analysis, and risk management experience in a wide variety of contexts. He has authored over one hundred peer-reviewed scientific works, as well as over one hundred technical reports for industry and government agencies. Prior to the professional risk work he worked in laboratories a bit, but otherwise was a manual laborer until he reckoned that he could use his brain for a living.

Robert has a BS in Botany, a BS in Science Education, an MS in Environmental Health, and a Certificate in Integrated Business Administration. He is ABD (all but dissertation) in a Toxicology PhD program. He is an ordained Minister and has an honorary Doctorate of Metaphysics from the Universal Life Church and is a Member of the Nova Scotia L’Ordre du Bon Temps, or Order of the Good Time.

He was born in North Carolina and lived there for over twenty years, but has since lived in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, and Alberta. He was also homeless for a time while a laborer in the Western United States. He currently resides in Colorado.

Robert and his wife Linda have climbed hundreds of technical and non-technical mountain, rock, ice, and canyon routes, hiked thousands of miles in several countries, and skied many miles of vertical feet at resorts and in the backcountry.

Robert is an avid amateur photographer, largely of outdoor subjects. He is a musician who plays hand, stick, and mallet percussion, and who can sing, but rarely does for unclear reasons. He is an amateur sound engineer and producer and has recorded more than a thousand written and improvisational instrumental pieces with other musicians to date. He was trying to learn to relax in retirement, but then he discovered non-technical writing. He has written a memoir and a poetry collection and is working on short stories.

Through Dangerous Doors is his latest book.

____________

In a life defined by risk, Robert Charles Lee experiences a poor and free-ranging childhood in the racist South of the 1960s. After his father dies, the family grows dysfunctional. As a result, teen-age Robert seeks sanity and solace by rock climbing solo and driving cars fast. He wins a scholarship and graduates from university, but still seeks to escape the South.

Moving to Alaska and the Western US, Robert works in a series of dangerous and brutal jobs. He meets and marries Linda, who enjoys climbing and skiing difficult mountains as much as he does. Simultaneously, Robert trains in the science of risk to become a respected professional risk scientist.

Robert shares his remarkable story as he guides the reader through a series of dangerous but rewarding doors, culminating in a vivid journey of adventure and risk.

 

As a book bloggin’ and book luvin’ Princess, I’m always curious to find out how authors got the ideas for their books.  Can you tell us how you got the idea to write your book?

I happened to read a couple of memoirs in succession, shortly before I retired from my career. I don’t read much nonfiction aside from articles on the Web, so this was unusual. One was Westover’s excellent memoir “Educated.” Although her childhood was weirder than mine in several ways, it made me ponder the risks associated with a poor and suboptimal upbringing, as well as the positive effect of education. I won’t name the other memoir (you never know who might review your book), because I thought it was way too long, dreadfully boring, and unworthy of the acclaim and prizes it received. It did, however, make me consider that perhaps I could do better. This book also emphasized the value of good editors, which apparently the author lacked. If nothing else, my book is tight, in large part due to a good editor.

Another influence was associated with retirement. I was asked to give a short talk on risk and how it has affected my life during my final corporate meeting. As I considered what I would say, I realized I’m one of the few risk scientists I know who has experienced a personally risky life. So, I thought a memoir focused on risk, from the perspective of somebody who has both studied and ‘lived’ risk, would be interesting to readers. It’s probably been a shock to some of my work and academic colleagues, and I would have been reluctant to publish it while I was still working (I wouldn’t have had the time to write it, regardless). Although most of my colleagues knew I was a mountain climber, they didn’t know about my risky early years. However, I’ve received positive feedback from many.

Can you give us an excerpt?

Climbing Magazine recently published a short excerpt. They also asked me to write a preface: https://www.climbing.com/people/what-happens-when-the-leader-falls/

This includes a few photos from the book as well.

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would that be?

Keep a journal, and take photographs if you plan to write from your life’s experiences. Writing may be easy, but it’s a lot of work. Editing is hard, and even more work.

What would you say is one of your interesting writing quirks?

I love to tell stories, and I write like I talk. Maybe this isn’t unusual, but I can’t imagine the authors of many books I’ve read talk like they write. At least I hope not.

Do you hear from your readers?  What do they say?

I’ve received a lot of good verbal feedback, and a few great written reviews. Many friends and former colleagues are surprised by stories of my early life, because I rarely discussed it. Revealing some of my early risky activities may have adversely affected my career. This is one reason I waited until I retired from work to write the book, although the main reason was I simply didn’t have time until I retired.

What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author?

Most of the criticism I received from editors was minor (albeit extensive). I was surprised, however, when one editor related that he found a few stories and statements “unbelievable”, and a few exhibited “hubris”. I think these comments arose from the perspective of someone who has lived a more sheltered life from mine. There’s nothing unbelievable in the book and there are no instances of hubris, from the perspective of someone who has lived a risky life like mine. It’s as honest as I could make it. However, I took these comments seriously, and modified the text to convey the life experiences in a way that would be understandable to a broader readership.

What has been your best accomplishment?

Being happily married for over thirty years.

Do you Google yourself?

I have now! I’m glad the memoir pops up top. Previously, I’d expect that scientific articles or perhaps mountain climbing reports would have risen to the top.

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

I’ve written a collection of short stories. I’m trying to figure out

what to do with this, or the individual stories, as publishing fiction is a different beast compared to nonfiction.

Fun question – if you were princess or prince, what’s one thing you would do to make your kingdom a better place?

Give everyone a good education.

Do you have anything specific that you would like to say to your readers?

I hope you enjoy the book!

🏰 Author Interview Featuring Nicholas Garnett, Author IN THE PINK #authorinterview #interview #puyb @writestuffnick @pumpupyourbook

 

I have a very talented author here today to tell us all about his new memoir, In The Pink. His name is Nicholas Garnett. Enjoy the interview but first, let's find out more about Nicholas and his hot new book...

Nicholas Garnett received his MFA in Creative Writing from Florida International University. He has taught creative writing at FIU, the Miami Book Fair, and Writing Class Radio. Garnett is also a freelance editor and co-producer of the Miami-based live storytelling series, Lip Service: True Stories Out Loud. He is a recipient of residencies from the Vermont Studio Center and the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, and fellowships to the Norman Mailer Art Colony and Writers in Paradise. His writing has appeared, among other places, in Salon.com, Truehumor.com, Sundress Publication’s “Best of the Net” and Cleis Press’s Best Sex Writing.

His memoir, In the Pink, is forthcoming from MidTown Publishing in January 2022.

____________

Washed out of another corporate job, scraping by playing drums in a wedding band, delivering roses in a tuxedo. This was Nicholas Garnett’s version of the go-go 90s. Then, beautiful, worldly, Rachael turns his

world upside down, introducing him to her gay friends who occupy the upper crust of the burgeoning gay circuit party scene. Nick and Rachael marry. They become known as the hot straight couple that party hardy with the boys in all he right places—until their friends self-destruct, Rachael burrows into addiction, the marriage implodes, and Nick is out on the street again. Follow his harrowing journey as he struggles to find his way in a life that’s been buried beneath a lifestyle.

“In the Pink is a the story of a singular life, told coolly and cleanly, with admirable introspection. If I felt, at times, that Nicholas Garnett occupied an alternative universe — well, he did and I am glad that he decided to chronicle it with a refreshing lack of judgment for his fellow travelers — and himself.“—Laura Lippman, author of DREAM GIRL, LADY IN THE LAKE, and the Tess Monaghan series.

“By turns outrageous, hilarious, and truly moving, this unflinching chronicle of a profoundly mismatched straight couple’s foray into the gay party and power circuit sets a new standard for the tale of wretched excess, and provides much-needed perspective along the way.  Nicholas Garnett has–no lie–produced a book like none other.”—Les Standiford, New York Times bestselling author of LAST TRAIN TO PARADISE and BRINGING ADAM HOME.

“I’ve just finished reading Nicholas Garnett’s electrifying memoir In the Pink, and now I need to catch my breath and recover. And then I’m going to read it again. Here is a gritty and lyrical portrait of what it’s like living life way out there on the edge, spinning out of control, and staring into the abyss. Astonishing and slightly terrifying.”—John Dufresne, author of LOUISIANA POWER & LIGHT and REQUIEM, MASS.

“Fasten your seat belts and take this ride through the A-list, drug-fueled, sex-centric circuit party scene of the 1990’s with Nicholas Garnett. Like Bill Clegg’s memoir PORTRAIT OF AN ADDICT AS A YOUNG MAN and David Carr’s NIGHT OF THE GUN, In the Pink will terrify, startle, and ultimately make you sigh with relief over Garnett’s unflinching look at this world and his place in it.”—Ann Hood, New York Times bestselling author of COMFORT: A JOURNEY THROUGH GRIEF and THE KNITTING CIRCLE.

“In the Pink might read like one man’s heady quest to become the gayest straight man in America. But look deeper and it’s your story, what you’ve done to hang on to love, to live beyond labels while searching for your own, to find yourself after decades of getting so lost. Do yourself a favor: buy this book. Read it now.”—Anjanette Delgado, author of THE CLAIRVOYANT OF CALLE OCHO.

Q: What is the relevancy of In the Pink, which takes place decades ago, to today?

I think this story of my seeking love and acceptance in a relationship, and a lifestyle, is universal and timeless. I hope the story also captures a particular time of exuberance in the face of pain and death. My sense is that the generation after mine places less emphasis on sexual preference. I sure hope that means that young people don’t have to face the shame and guilt that many of my friends did. Also, thank goodness, AIDS is not the death sentence it once was. If there was any upside to all that darkness, it’s that it

created a camaraderie and unity that I suspect has been lost in a more accepting age. Many of the external trappings of the circuit exist now the worldwide rave/EDM scene. There will always be something irresistibly tribal about a group of people gathering to lose themselves in a thunderous beat. But I believe there was something unique about the time and place depicted in In the Pink—an exclusivity, us against them—that people who weren’t there can’t fully appreciate. But at least they can read about it!

Q: Does In the Pink conjure up any feelings of guilt or remorse in you?

Yes, but not the ones people might expect. Of course, there was a lot of self-indulgent behavior, and I contributed my share. The thing I wish I could change, however, is the way I parted ways with Rachael. Not the fact that I did it—but how. Instead of facing up to her, I did the one thing I knew she couldn’t forgive: betray her. That was a cowardly act, one I will always regret. 

Q. Have you stayed in touch with any of the characters in your memoir? If so, what has been their reaction to it?

I moved from Washington, D.C. in 2004, but remain in touch with some of the people from In the Pink, many of whom, though I don’t see them often, I consider lifelong friends. I live in the suburbs of South Florida, am happily

remarried with two stepsons, so my life has certainly changed. But so has theirs. We all had to move on. Those that didn’t paid the price. When I learned that In the Pink was going to be published, I reached out to a few people that I felt should know beforehand. I contacted the real Dr. Hector, whose life had spiraled precipitously after the period depicted in the book. He and I had completely lost touch for many years. I was relieved to find out that he is recovered, healthy, and happy. He had no reservations about being in the book. That was a relief. Neither did Rachael’s ex (David in the story). He couldn’t have been more gracious and supportive. I imagine that by now, those familiar with my story are asking, “Gee, that’s all really interesting, but what about Rachael?” The answer is that I did not contact her. I did my best to write this story as honestly as possible, tried not to judge anyone except myself. But it’s my story. And I don’t know how I could have written it while trying to blend her version of what happened with mine. That’s not how memoir works. Rachael remains one of the smartest, funniest, and most interesting people I have ever met. Like I say in the book, I hope she found what she was looking for. Now that In the Pink is getting published, I expect that she will

have her own sense of what happened and why, and that it won’t line up completely with mine. It shouldn’t. I hope that the passage of time has allowed both of us to look back on that period of our lives with some perspective—our own.

Q: Are you concerned that certain elements of the gay community will take issue with the way they are portrayed in your memoir, or that you might be accused of cultural exploitation that reinforces certain stereotypes about being gay?

Yes, I am concerned. But there’s nothing I can do about it. The reason I say that is because, unlike a reporter or social scientist writing a book-length examination of gay culture in the 90s, I am writing about a personal experience, restricted to what I saw, and did, and felt and my effort to impart some meaning to the experience. In no way am I implying that all gay people in the 90s were capable of, or even interested in, participating in the circuit party scene. By definition, memoir narrows the scope of the story to the writer’s experience. It’s my responsibility to tell that story as honestly as I can. The rest is up to the reader. 

🏰 Author Interview Featuring Mary Lawlor, Author FIGHTER PILOT'S DAUGHTER #authorinterview #interview #puyb @marylawlor @pumpupyourbook

 

I have a very talented lady here today to tell us all about her new memoir, Fighter Pilot's Daughter. Her name is Mary Lawlor. Enjoy the interview!

First, find out more about Mary and her hot new book...

Mary Lawlor is the author of Fighter Pilot’s Daughter (Rowman & Littlefield 2013, paper 2015), Public Native America (Rutgers Univ. Press 2006), and Recalling the Wild (Rutgers Univ. Press, 2000). Her short stories and essays have appeared in Big Bridge and Politics/Letters. She studied at the American University in Paris and earned a Ph.D. from New York University. She divides her time between an old farmhouse in Easton, Pennsylvania, and a cabin in the mountains of southern Spain.

You can visit her website at https://www.marylawlor.net/ or connect with her on Twitter or Facebook.

FIGHTER PILOT’S DAUGHTER tells the story of the author as a young woman coming of age in an Irish Catholic, military family. Her father, an aviator in the Marines and later the Army, was transferred more than a dozen times to posts from Miami to California to Germany as the government demanded. For her mother and sisters, each move meant a complete upheaval of ordinary life. The car was sold, bank accounts closed, and of course, one school after another was left behind. Friends and later boyfriends lined up in memory as a series of temporary attachments. The story highlights the tensions of personalities inside this traveling household and the pressures American foreign policy placed on the Lawlors’ fragile domestic universe.

The climax happens when the author’s father, stationed in southeast Asia while she’s attending college in Paris, gets word that she’s caught up in political demonstrations in the streets of the Left Bank. It turns out her strict upbringing had not gone deep enough to keep her anchored to her parents’ world. Her father gets emergency leave and comes to Paris to find her. The book narrates their dramatically contentious meeting and the journey to the family’s home-of-the-moment in the American military community of Heidelberg, Germany. The book concludes many years later, after decades of tension that had made communication all but impossible. Finally, the pilot and his daughter reunite. When he died a few years later, the hard edge between them had become a distant memory.

Can you give us an excerpt?

Yes, sure. Here’s the first page:

The pilot’s house where I grew up was mostly a women’s world. There were five of us. We had the place to ourselves most of the time. My mother made the big decisions—where we went to school, which bank to keep our money in. She had to decide these things

often because we moved every couple of years. The house is thus a figure of speech, a way of thinking about a long series of small, cement dwellings we occupied as one fictional home.

It was my father, however, who turned the wheel, his job that rotate- rotated us to so many different places. He was an aviator, first in the Marines, later in the Army. When he came home from his extended absences—missions, they were called—the rooms shrank around him. There wasn’t enough air. We didn’t breathe as freely as we did when he was gone, not because he was mean or demanding but because we worshipped him. Like satellites my sisters and I orbited him at a distance, waiting for the chance to come closer, to show him things we’d made, accept gifts, hear his stories. My mother wasn’t at the center of things anymore. She hovered, maneuvered, arranged, corrected. She was first lady, the dame in waiting. He was the center point of our circle, a flier, a winged sentry who spent most of his time far up over our heads. When he was home, the house was definitely his.

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would that be?

Be brave! Have confidence in your passion for writing and in your ability and desire to write. Pursue the vision of yourself as a writer and don’t get sidetracked by jobs, relationships, errands, distractions, or anything that takes you away from your work as a writer, even if it means you have some trouble paying the bills for a while.    

What would you say is one of your interesting writing quirks?

Interesting question. I have a tendency to explain more than I need to, but fortunately, I also have a good editorial antenna that zeros in on those unnecessary explanations during rewrites and gets rid of them. Maybe it’s a left-over from my years as a professor…

Do you hear from your readers?  What do they say?

Yes, I’ve heard lots from the readers of Fighter Pilot’s Daughter. Many have told me how much they resonate with the depictions of life during the later years of the Cold War. It was a time that taught many of us to be fearful of what we didn’t know, of what might be coming tomorrow, and what people in power were doing. It left many of us with a sense of fragility and insecurity, traces of which I think we still live with. I heard from several readers saying they appreciated the story for picturing those things and for sharing my story of shaking myself (somewhat) free of them.

I’ve also heard from several readers who enjoyed the stories of my idiosyncratic mother and my glamorous father. They were larger-than-life characters, and I miss them very much; so it gives me great pleasure to read these comments.

What is the toughest criticism given to you as an author?

Someone once told me I was disrespectful toward my parents and the military as an institution in writing this book. That stabbed me in the heart, mostly because I love my parents and was trying hard in writing the book to sort out the complexities of our relationship and to show how rich and complicated they were as human beings. The last thing I wanted to do was disrespect them. I think the person who said this was too ideologically bound up by the wrong, unthinking kind of patriotism and didn’t get how appreciative I was of my parents—and of the opportunities I had growing up in the Army.  

What has been your best accomplishment?

Raising my step-daughter.

Do you Google yourself?

No.

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

Good question! I have one unpublished novel (The Time Keeper’s Room) that’s sitting in my agent’s hands, one half-finished novel (The Stars Over Andalucía) which I’ll take up again later this year, and one I’m working on as we speak (The Translators—A Novel of Medieval Spain).

Fun question – if you were a princess or prince, what’s one thing you would do to make your kingdom a better place?

I’d have everybody vaccinated and boosted and reading books as much as we watch TV!

Do you have anything specific that you would like to say to your readers?

The book I’m working on now, The Translators, is a historical novel set in Spain in the 1100s. It’s a work of literary-historical fiction, and the central characters are based on historical figures—a pair of mathematicians, astronomers, and Arabists working together as translators. I’ve taken what little we know about these figures (Robert of Ketton and Hermann of Carinthia—they were the first translators of Muslim religious works, including the Koran, into Latin) and created a story centered on the pursuit of forbidden knowledge, the contradictions of medieval spiritualities, and the hazards of love and friendship.
