heartfelt tale of endurance and hope. Schonborn’s story is an
inspiration to all who endure physical or mental health challenges and
those who care about them.” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry <br />

<br />
Karl Schonborn’s silver tongue is locked away for years by a birth
defect that makes his speech unclear and his face asymmetrical. Bullies
target him for this and even for being restricted from PE and sports.
But with courage, humor, and his family’s love, he overcomes shame,
handicaps, and personal losses that might have defeated others.<br />
Skilled
doctors, speech therapists, and his own determination allow him a shot
at his dream of becoming a debate star and attending an elite college.
However, after various successes Schonborn must deal with reverses in
his love life and worse--unspeakable tragedy in his family. Somehow, he
survives, even thrives. <br />
Spanning the WWII ‘40s, the conformist ’50s, and
the revolutionary ‘60s, Schonborn’s coming-of-age story recounts, among
other things, his friendship with a famous folksinger,
conscientious-objection to the Vietnam War, and an amazing
around-the-world odyssey. His story, like the stories of the
speech-challenged Greek orator Demosthenes and British King George VI,
will have you crying and cheering at the same time.<br />

is now an engaging audiobook. The paperback version was originally
published by Wayman Publishing in 2012. EC Stilson wrote this book after
her son died and her daughter couldn't understand why her brother was
gone. "I needed to write a story about adventure and intrigue, trying to
use metaphors to explain what happened. But then the book took off, and
became something quite different."<br />
<br />
Since 2012, Stilson's fantasy book has captivated children
nationwide. She's spoken at dozens of assemblies across across the
western states, been to signings for "The Sword of Senack" anywhere from
Utah to Los Angeles, California. And now after all of that, the
audiobook version is finally here.<br />

publications throughout three continents, in many genres, including
fantasy and science fiction. His first book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Laughing-Into-Fourth-Dimension-Humorous/dp/1481127012/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367514586&sr=8-1&keywords=Laughing+into+the+Fourth+Dimension" title=""Laughing into the Fourth Dimension:25 Humorous Fantasy &amp; Science Fiction stories"">"Laughing into the Fourth Dimension, 25 Humorous Fantasy & Science Fiction stories"</a>
has just been published by Wayman Publishing. The book contains the
stories written by Lefkowitz over the years, including those published
in Thema, A Cappella Zoo, The Literary Review, American Film, Yellow
Medicine Review, Midstream, and others, as well as in anthologies and
e-zines.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Paper Skin Glass Bones published a chapter from a yet unpublished
novel of Lefkowitz, "Lieberman," and said about the writer: "Your
writing is classic, speaking of a legacy of style that one does not
often find in our time." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Lefkowitz wrote for many years in the United States before
immigrating to Israel at age 35. Although the majority of his writing is
in English, he has also had stories published in Hebrew, which he and
his wife translated from his English stories.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">"Laughing into the Fourth Dimension" is a moveable feast of fantasy
and science fiction humor. From the first sentence of the first story:
"'Green Grow the Lilacs,' the phrase unaccountably jumped into Brendon's
mind, as Giselle turned, smoothly but unmistakably into a lilac bush,"
the reader is taken into worlds of humor and strangeness. The next story
deals with the procedural difficulties of a legal suit for alienation
of affection when the litigants, the jury, and the judge come from
different planets with different eco-systems. One story concerns Ben
Franklin's attempts (successful) to build a time machine and send his
servant forward in time. Another story details the experiment to clone
Babe Ruth and its effect on the National Pastime. "Ariel Duel" puts a
Shakespearean handle on the genre known as Steampunk. A genre also
featured in a Sherlock Holmes story, without which no story collection
is complete. Another story concerns the temptations which occur when the
Devil takes on the guise of a woman. Woody Allen (from the film itself)
tries to help the bashful romantic progress of the protagonist of
another tale. In addition there are reverse mermaids, artificial
intelligence, demons (female), magic fish (a takeoff of the fairy tale),
a guy who believes he sees writers, such as Kafka and Henry James, each
time he goes to his favorite bar.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">In short, something for everyone's literary palate – so long as it
craves fantasy and science fiction served on a humorous plate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;">Wayman Publishing is very proud of its most recent release, confident
that many readers will enjoy Lefkowitz's masterfully told stories.</span><br />

I made a list the other day of some of the things that were
interesting and/or fun in my life. I know I can’t remember everything,
but what I DO remember includes:</span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’ve ridden on an elephant, a camel, horses & mules. I’ve
been parasailing & in hot air balloons & the Goodyear blimp.
I’ve flown in everything from a 4 seater to a private plane to a jumbo
jet. I flew at zero gravity, like an astronaut. I’ve ridden in trucks,
buses, jeeps, a Rolls Royce, limos & was a passenger in a VERY fast
car on the Autobahn. I drove my own Mustang at 105 mph—once. I’ve
been on sailboats, canoes, speedboats, zodiac rafts, hydrofoils, pedal
boats, paddlewheels, ferries & cruise ships, including the QEII.</span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’ve been on tricycles, bicycles & roller skates. I rode a
tram car in a mine. I’ve ridden a Segway. I’ve been on roller
coasters, bumper cars & Ferris wheels. I’ve ridden on a hay wagon, a
sled in the snow & gone snorkeling. I’ve ridden trains (including
monorails & funicular railways) & small & large helicopters.
I’ve been on aerial tramways. I tried my hand at a flight simulator
that real pilots use--& (virtually) crashed.</span></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
I’ve petted a dolphin (it feels like a wetsuit) & seen
stalagmites & stalactites in caves.<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> I studied<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Japanese for a year in night school. I’ve been to spring training with the San Francisco Giants. I went to the Calgary Stampede. I’ve
sent koi into a feeding frenzy. My family & I saw the fireworks on
July 4</span><span style="font-size: large;">th</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">,
2000, while sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. I’ve seen
the inside of the White House & Congress, the Viet Nam Memorial
wall, the Statue of Liberty, the Mona Lisa & the Venus de Milo.
I’ve seen the foliage change in New England, the Liberty Bell, Plymouth
Rock, the Eiffel Tower, the Berlin Wall, the palace of the King of Siam
& a space shuttle landing. I once wore real clown makeup in Florida. </span></span></span><br />

I was at<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>the World Series in 1989 when the Loma Prieta earthquake hit & had a challenging time driving our<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>rental car back through a very dark San Francisco to our borrowed house. I am an artist & work<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>mostly with stained glass. I’ve been to most US states, including Hawaii & Alaska. I’ve visited Canada & Mexico. I’ve also seen Ecuador, the Bahamas,
Costa Rica, the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, the Galapagos Islands,
England, France, Spain, Germany (including East Germany), Austria,
Switzerland, Italy (including the Vatican), Ireland, the Philippines,
Singapore, Morocco, Thailand, Japan & China.</span></span></span></div>

I attended UCLA & worked as a salesgirl & a dental assistant. I have been married for 58 years &<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>am the mother of three & the grandmother of four. I was a Brownie & Girl Scout <span style="font-size: large;"> leader, head</span> Cub Scout den mother & a donor & volunteer on
Red Cross blood drives. Lucille Ball held me in her arms in a movie
scene when I was a month or so old. I’ve been on TV as a contestant on
TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES & I answered phones on a Cerebral Palsy telethon.

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Is Society Putting too much Religious
Pressure on Young Teens Today?</span></h2>
<h4 align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">By Charles Reed</span></h4>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
</div>
Cyber-bullying is commonly discussed, how teens have used
social media such as Facebook, Twitter, and even Blogger negatively to degrade
peers. While all of this has happened and is very serious, society has
forgotten an age-old issue that has caused more suicides and teen runaways than
cyber-bullying ever has. "I ran away when I was seventeen," author EC
Stilson said in an interview. "It was mainly because of religious
expectations that were too high. I felt like I could never be good enough. People
don't realize what a big issue this is today. I recently heard about two teen
suicides in Northern Utah that were due to these same problems."<br />
In April
of 2012, <a href="http://www.waymanpublishing.com/" target="_blank">Wayman Publishing</a>
released Stilson's memoir about what events led to her becoming a homeless
street musician. The audiobook is expected to be released sometime in June of
2013. Stilson's book talks about a time, thirteen years ago, when her world
spiraled out of control. And although much has changed for teens within the
last decade—with the boom of iPhones, iPads and other technologies—the root of
teen pressure is still the same. Is society as a whole putting too much
pressure on teens? Expecting them to be better, more religious, or smarter than
past generations?<br />
Stilson's
memoir, <i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bible-Girl-Bad-Golden-ebook/dp/B00787YT9Q/ref=sr_1_1_bnp_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1365074997&sr=8-1&keywords=bible+girl+and+the+bad+boy" target="_blank">Bible
Girl & the Bad Boy</a></i> describes how Stilson went from being a pious
Christian to a runaway. It talks about how the adults around her made poor
choices when they should have stuck by her and offered some guidance. "I hope my memoir will help
teens and adults alike," Stilson said. "I want teenagers to know that
they aren't alone in feeling overwhelmed. We've all been there, even the adults
who seem to have forgotten."<br />
<div style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
This is a prevalent issue today. So
often adults put too much pressure on teens. Whether that pressure involves
religion, work, or excessive studies, maybe it's time to give these kids a little slack. Offer
support and understanding instead of too many expectations. Teens are already
getting enough stress from peers, let alone from the adults in their lives as
well.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Time?
What is time and how do I find it? That darn thing often eludes me. I
think most of the time the two of us are playing a game of
Hide-and-seek. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How do I find time to write? </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">is
THE question I hear most often amongst fellow writers. In fact we
discuss it on a monthly basis in my writing group. Most of us are moms
of several children and finding time to write is a big deal. I hope I
can give you some ideas as I share with you the strategies I’ve come up
with. It hasn’t been without failure either and I will share those with
you as well.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">First,
let me tell you a little about myself. I play many roles during a given
day of the week. I am a wife and a mother of two beautifully spirited
daughters. I say “spirited” because they are so full of life and a
little stubborn too. I am an employee at a major university and work
full-time. It’s been hard for me being a working mother because I
always thought once I had kids I would just stay home and take care of
them. Sometimes the way we want things to turn out isn’t always the
reality we will get. But I do the best I can and spend the most time
with my girls and husband when I am home. One perk is that I get to work
from home on Friday’s and I really like working in my pajamas while
watching </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Yo Gabba Gabba</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> or </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Pocoyo</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
with my girls. I am also a member of my church and hold a calling that
keeps me busy twice a week and then some occasional meetings. I don’t
tell you this to make you feel sorry for me but I want you to have some
context and understand my time is really divided.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">And
I keep forgetting one important role in there-ME! I also have things I
wish to accomplish as a person aside from being a mother, wife and
employee. This is where that question of writing comes in. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">How do I find time to write?</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I
have tried so many things that I wonder if there is anything left to
try. Here is a list of what I’ve done so far and how it’s worked.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Writing on Sunday afternoons. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">This
worked well when I had one child and she napped. Now I have two
children with only one nap in the afternoon. The other one just wants to
hang out with mommy. It’s as if my kids only want me when I need to get
something written. I am sure none of the mom’s out there has ever had
this happen before. </span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Writing on my lunch break at work</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.
I tried this for a month and then it fizzled. I am just too busy at
work anymore with new responsibilities. I often eat lunch at my desk
while I am working.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Writing on the train and bus into work</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.
This worked okay but now that I have an iPad I may just try this again.
I have to work on the train ride in as I count it for my work time but
the bus ends up being an hour total each day. I usually read or sleep. I
may take turns between reading and writing.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Writing from 9-11pm every night after the kids are in bed</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.
I struggle with this one. I am so tired by the time 9pm roles around on
a workday that I just want to sit and do nothing. I find I do most of
my blog posts during this time and reading.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Each
of the options I tried had their pros and cons. I am definitely going
to try writing on the bus again. I think I can make that work. I just
have to make sure I have the room to do it.</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Cambria; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">I have thought about some new strategies to help me find time to write. Here are a few things I would like to try now. </span></span><br />

their characters are more real than they seem. For example, I have a
book that I had the entire timeline for. I knew which events had to
happen when, and life was good. Until I made the mistake of getting a
very outspoken character involved. She waltzed right in and said, "You
know, I think I'm going to move things around a little." We had a bit
of an argument, which she won, and she proceeded to change things around
while I sat in the background going, "But I though <i>I</i> was the author!" I've been very careful with her since then<span style="font-size: large;">.</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> There
are other ways for a character to become more real, however. Recently
I've been dealing with a character who has a lot of emotional baggage to
deal with. Suddenly, all by herself, with no push from me, she decided
to grow up a bit. I hadn't planned it, but as I wrote, I definitely
felt her learning her lesson and saying, "Okay, yeah, I can do this."
These are the moments that make it worth being a writer.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Or they may be the moments that tell you I'm crazy! Your choice!</span><br />

Deb Claxton</h2>
<div class="fw-text">
<span style="font-size: large;">Deb Claxton grew up reading
the humor columns of Erma Bombeck who inspired her dream of finding a
husband, living in the suburbs, and having three annoying children.
When that didn’t work out she became a humor writer/newspaper
reporter/ photographer instead. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> What
do zombies, the Mayan Calendar, deathbed confessions, and Christmas all
have in common? They’re just some of the subjects Deb Claxton tackles
with her unique brand of humor in, “It Ain’t Heavy –It’s The Lite
Side.” For three years Claxton wrote a weekly humor column called “98%
Fat Free – The Lite Side.” At the request of her fans, she took her
most popular columns along with a lot of new material and published it
in her book which takes a humorous look at taxes, sharing too much
information, back to school shopping, holidays, movies, music, and much
more.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> She is also the contributor
to a new Humor Anthology, “My Funny Major Medical.” They say laughter
is the best medicine especially since there’s no co-pay. “My </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Funny Major Medical” gives everyone something to laugh at with a variety of stories by some of today’s funniest writers.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
Claxton retired from the newspaper business but she continues to
spread her wacky view of the world through her blog, which can be

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I</span>'ve
been writing since I was fourteen, and been published a handful of
times between there and here, but there still remains that age old
question: What do I do to get published?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> People
have sought different remedies, and tried everything under the rainbow.
But the answer is really quite simple--so simple, most people overlook
it. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> In order to get published you have to do... what you love.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't
roll your eyes. Passion, from my experience, IS the key to success. Of
course, that implies the old cliches everyone knows (if you work in what
you love, you'll never work another day in your
life). But I really think writing about what you love, and then sending
your work to people who love the same things as you... that's when you
can get published.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: large;"> For
example, take my short story, "Being Practical" that was recently
published by Wayman Publishing in <i>Open Doors: Fractured Fairy Tales</i>.
When I wrote that piece, I didn't do it because an anthology was looking
for fairy tale pieces. I didn't even know that the anthology existed. I
wrote "Being Practical" because earlier that week, I was doing what I
love: sitting on a couch, watching old fairy tales with my friends
(<span style="font-size: large;">i</span>ncluding Rosie Hendrickson, whose short story can also be found in
this same anthology), and making fun of bad acting and </span><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: large;">impractical movie bits</span><span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: large;"> that
all good old 80s
films have. My friends and I joked so much about the impracticality of
Cinderella<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> (</span>W</span>hy is the carriage always white when made from an orange
pumpkin? Why doesn't Cinderella freak out when a strange lady appears in
her house? Why can Cinderella never find her own way to the ball?) that I decided to write about it. I wrote the first draft of "Being
Practical" for the enjoyment of my friends, and most especially because I
knew I would love writing a spoof of Cinderella (I'm a sap for fairy
tales). When my friends enjoyed my short story, I began searching for
contests/anthologies to enter "Being Practical" into, and stumbled
across one Fractured Fairy Tales Anthology. After a great deal of
editing (I was 2000 words over limit) I submitted my fairy tale to
Wayman Publishing. It was accepted.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-style: normal;">
<span style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Talent
will take you far enough, desire and dedication will too. But if you
really want to be published, you must be passionate about what you
write, and then find other people who are passionate about what you
write. Simply put, getting published is about... being practical..<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span> </div>
