Bee Balms & Burgundy (Debut Novella)..... First Book
In this rousing story, Nick May is a successful Gen X entrepreneur now
living in Vancouver. At 32, he's lost patience with live-in girlfriend
Sonja, as well as business partner Jason. Upon a late summer visit to
his hometown of St. Paul, he reacquaints with childhood neighbor and
lifelong friend Mia. Unbeknownst to Nick, Mia is now a post-mastectomy
breast cancer survivor, with her cancer currently in remission. She also
harbors another powerful secret—one that will change Nick forever.
To every woman who has fought
the battle, and the subsequent
self-doubt and fear,
win or lose...
I offer my respect
Peace & Love
Nelson
Two for Tuesday ...... Second Book in Progress
Emmanuelle Foshey—“Manny” to friends and lover—is a 29-year-old former
Chicago jazz dancer and current Minneapolis ad exec. Seven months ago,
in a strange event, she met publisher and philanthropist Cameron Stiles.
Today, after mending their past heartbreaks, Manny and Cam nurture an
epic, immaculate romance.
Cam lives in the small town of Cannon Valley, 40 minutes south of his
St. Paul offices; he lives in a cute raspberry sorbet Victorian, at
which Manny spends most of my time. Cam’s seventeen-year-old neighbor,
Corey, is a California transplant; he’s also a domineering, single
mother’s only son and a social outcast. Every day, Corey finds it
increasingly difficult to cope in his new surroundings. Cam and Manny
lend a wing; day or night, there’s almost nothing they won’t do for the
kid; they adore him.
Then, tragedy strikes…
And nothing remains the same.

Activate it All
The Writer’s Block
Activate it All
One key to creating powerful text and story is to active your writing. What do
we mean by “activate”? We mean, well, activate.
Journey to your trusty bookstore. While there, locate your favorite
bestselling novelist’s shelf space. Pluck from it his or her latest title.
Scan through the text. Because today’s novelists tend to be lazy writers—if
they can be considered “writers” at all and not merely “novelists”—you’re su… Continue

Home or Abroad?
I recently spoke to a colleague that has been living “abroad”—or “overseas”—for more than twenty-two years now. He no longer carries a U.S. passport, although he was born and raised in America. When conversing with him the other day, he mentioned something about “life abroad.” I asked him what he meant. He explained: anything outside America…even though he hasn’t seen the… Continue

U.S.-Allied Sunni Groups Struggle Under Iraqi Control
The Sunni militias known as the Sons of Iraq, or Sahwa movement, were credited with helping to defeat al-Qaida in Iraq during the U.S. surge that began in 2007. They have fallen on hard times since coming under Iraqi government control a year ago, facing arrest and other troubles.Iran Cleric's Funeral Becomes Opposition Protest

Starting this spring, delayed airliners must return to a terminal or face hefty fines. They must also offer food and water, maintain lavatories and provide necessary medical attention.

Meryl Gordon, author of Mrs. Astor Regrets: The Hidden Betrayals of a Family Beyond Reproach, talks to Michele Norris about the trial of socialite Brooke Astor's son, Anthony Marshall. Marshall and his accomplice, Francis Morrissey, were convicted of defrauding Marshall's mother of millions of dollars before her death in 2007.Happy And Insured, Man Has Doubts On Overhaul
Dave Koenig has health insurance through work, and is happy with the plan. But as the health care debate drags on, he says he's losing faith in the overhaul plan. Koenig, who calls himself a conservative, says that at first he was open to President Obama's call to regulate the insurance industry to protect patients. But as lawmakers negotiate behind closed doors, and it's still unclear how much it will cost, Koenig is growing wary of the plan. And he's hoping his health insurance won't change when all is said and done.Reporter Discusses Iranian Cleric's Death
