A beautiful Irish saga

For those who've wondered about their roots or care to learn their origin...causing one to embark, if they desire, upon a path to discovery. For this particular "clan" one feels the stark living conditions, the familial pride or more often shame....which unfortunately is passed from one generation to the next but at the same time underscores the family psychology which returns again and again to one very strong willed individual within a family divided by secrets born of heritage. ~ Lorie Carroll

A truly remarkable account, Not Forgotten traces the growth of one family from a small Irish town to a wide network stretching across the globe.

In 1920s Ireland, a whirlwind romance ends in pain, heartbreak and poverty for one young woman. This pain will echo down through generations of sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, leaving the family broken and scattered.

This is the story of Kitty, a girl who suffered throughout her life and yet managed to grow into a strong, independent woman. It is also the story of the Irish diaspora: the lives, loves and losses of the thousands who left their homes and families behind to seek their fortune abroad. But most importantly, it is the story of a family.

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories. For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing. Some writers are unable to start a story unless they have a great title lined up. Then, with that title in mind, they set out to write, only to change the title once they see where the plot and characters lead them. Some authors cannot title a story till it’s written and rewritten for the umpteenth time. Then they decide. Whatever your preference, titles are just as important as the overall story itself...

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of The Frugal Editor, the winning-est in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.
