I've purchased 11 new books recently, many from fellow authors whom I've had the privilege of meeting through my writing groups, workshops and a recent author showcase. Between my own writings and working on the Prequel to my own novel, Bona-Fide, that's just celebrated its first year of being published, I've got three I'll be reading at the same time being I've already cracked into the first chapters of these particular ones. The first is Susanna B Lewis's "Suspicion On Sugar Creek" . Next being, Nancy Heartly's "If The Creek don't Rise, and then there is the one that I picked up over coffee today, "Ardenia Dovie's Card Catalog" by my new friend Jan Huneycutt Lightner.
Now, I've just noticed that the first two books have the word "Creek" in them and though it's not mentioned in the title of the last one, I'm sure that little girl "Ardenia" will likely end up in or near a creek, given that the setting for that story is in rural Arkansas, where creeks wind through the hills and little girls like to dip their toes in the water when given an opportunity.
Well, that's my line up for the next few months with eight more new books and counting for my summer reads. Now, check back with me soon to see if I got to those others yet. But no high expectations with my own book tour still in progress. It's going to be an exciting summer!

Sam Levenson
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.
...
We leave you a tradition with a future.
The tender loving care of human beings will never become obsolete.
People even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands: one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

Your “good old days” are still ahead of you, may you have many of them.”
Sam Levenson, In One Era & Out the Other

The Paradoxical Commandments

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”
