Constance: One Road to Take: The Life and Photography of Constance Stuart Larrabee (1914–2000) by Peter Elliott (Book Review #515)
Constance is not so much of a biography but an attempt to display Constance Stuart Larrabee’s life into perspective using her photography. The attempt is to gain more of an understanding of her work and allowing the reader into her personal life, past and present.

SUDDENLY SINGLE SYLVIA adapted to the screen!
It was actually a TV pilot script before it was a novella and dating guide. One year after the release of the paperback and kindle, “Suddenly Single Sylvia” on Amazon, we were on set with talented actors and crew shooting a ten-minute segment of scenes from the book. Read More
Mad Mischief by Susan St. John (Book Review #514)
Mad Mischief is a literary fiction about Sarah traveling to Africa with her husband. Her relationship has many issues, and with the trip being a stressful one, it did not get any better. While you genuinely get to feel that you have gone to Africa and have experienced this beautiful country, the descriptive writing allows you to also sense the tension and problems this trip faced.
Title 2 by Keith Julius
My last article dealt with titles, and how important they are to lure the reader into a story. Titles should be evocative, inspiring questions and wonder, yet at the same time, they should also tell the reader something about the book. I have tried to follow this line of reasoning with my series “The CASA Chronicles.” Read More

“What?! No Chicken Tikka? But we’re in India, Geeze!” by Samuel G. Sterling
“What?! No Chicken Tikka? But we’re in India, Geeze!” by Samuel G. Sterling
There has never been so much controversy about a culinary dish which has been crowned Britain’s National Dish! Its history: ambiguous; its heritage: equivocally more so. It doesn’t date back to the days of the Raj, nor earlier—with its heritage unclear; possibly murky. Some say it originated in Scotland; others claim it’s an Indian variation of ‘Chicken Tikka’ (kebabbed chicken pieces marinated in yoghurt and bright red colourants: Red No.2 / Red No.40). Others emphatically state it was the creation of a frustrated Bangladeshi cook—in a state of desperation while finishing a late shift in a back-street restaurant somewhere in Britain. There are the numerous conspiracy theories floating around… but that can be found in the sequel: “POPO GIGI: Shakespeare Goes Bollywood.” Read More

Golf’s New Rules: Major Changes Effective Jan 1, 2019!
“The USGA and R & A adopted the most major changes to the Rules of Golf in more than 30 years and all go into effect January 1, 2019. This new Booklet, “Golf’s New Rules” gives you a clear and quick description of the new rules along with a two-page Summary which will answer most new rule questions in seconds. This is very helpful since the Official Guide put out by the R&A and USGA is 500 pages and at times difficult to understand.
