Origin by Dan Brown

This was a really great book but it was also a very troubling book. It was a fun adventure with places I have never even thought about visiting and artists I have never heard of, that part of it was so much fun! I really loved the characters in this book and Robert Langdon’s relationships with them. I love art but like Robert I have been a fan of few modern artists, there are some, because I feel I understand them, but to be truly honest some I will never understand. He introduced to me places I have never been, like Spain, and literature I had never even heard of, as always it was a page turner and it was exciting. And that part of it was so much fun!

The way I feel about Religion and Science is very close to Robert’s that they care deeply about the world around us but they are just going about it differently. I am open to AI, and I found Winston very charming and an interesting character. I am not going to spoil it, but I found parts of the book very disturbing, and I stayed up nights since I read it worrying over it. I am that type of person and I really appreciate Dan Brown opening the conversation and bringing up these very, very important issues especially at this time. I think this is his best book and yet as I said before I felt it is very disturbing at the same time.

More Than Love: An Intimate Portrait of My Mother, Natalie Wood by Natasha Gregson Wagner

I have loved Natalie Wood since I was a small child. I saw her on talk shows in the 70’s with Robert Wagner who I also adore, or by herself. She was always funny, intelligent and adorable. She was my favorite actress as kid (I wanted to be an actress, not many brunettes for a brunette who wanted to be an actress to look up to, she was also extremely talented.) My favorite movies are Cash McCall and Love With a Proper Stranger. She was also great in comedy and I adored her in Sex and The Single Girl and Bob, Carol, Ted and Alice. In other words I am a fan.

When Natalie was going to be in Anastasia in LA at the Music Center I was so excited, I squealed when we got the postcard advertising it. (I still have it somewhere.) I lived at home, I was going to college and working but I knew I did not have enough money to go to the play and pay my bills, My Dad promised to get them for the whole family when they came on the market.

Of course that was not to be. I was so stunned when I heard what happened, and heart broken. It is hard to explain, I never met her, or even got a glimpse of her in person.

When all the speculation started with her sister Lana I was shocked, it was obvious she didn’t like Robert Wagner in her book, (which I did read) but she never accused him of anything like she did later. When she accuse him, I was very angry. I am a life long murder mystery fan and what she and the ship’s captain said happened, had way too many holes in it, it made no sense.

I was so excited to read Natasha Gregson Wagner book, I saw the advertisement for it after I saw her HBO special, Natalie Wood, What Remains Behind. I loved all the stuff about Natalie’s life in the documentary, her career and family life. It was beautiful. At the end, I was nodding my head and agreeing with her and the people she was interviewing, they knew best, everyone else in blogs and podcasts are just speculating. The biggest thing for me was that Christopher Walken and Robert Wagner didn’t really like each other and were not friends, why would Christopher back him up, if it was a lie, so I knew that all this fodder was just trumped up stuff, to make money. So sad. And unfair.

So I bought the book, it was very good, it is very hard to write the dark side of your life, the hard stuff for you to grapple with and to do it for the public, wow! I think Nastasha did a great job and she obviously researched her Mom’s life very thoroughly. She is so lucky to have so much, I treasure the pieces I have my parents, I don’t have as much as she does but the bits and pieces are precious. I felt so bad as I read how she had desperately wanted to keep her parents home, that she was scared something would happen to them and then when it did, her life just spiraled.

I also noticed as I read all the things that Lana had wrong, dates that things happened, the bust of James Dean disappearing, (obliviously not true, it was right there in storage,) even what Natalie was wearing on that last Thanksgiving. Also Natasha explaining her attitude to two tiny kids who just lost their Mom, her sister was cold and cruel. It made me realize her book was not true at all.

I love the happy ending for Natalie’s kids though, they deserve it. And I really hope people stop talking about her passing and focus on what great actress she was, maybe even have a Natalie Wood Film Festival. That would be so cool.

Thank you Natasha, from one daughter to another.

Mentoring, Hamlet, Patreon, interviews and other scattered subjects this week!

I have taken up with an idea about mentoring a few writers.  Just to get my toes wet. My mentoring is for a targeted period on a retainer for 10-15 hours specific targeted help. Non refundable.

If you like the support you can re-sign up. And as part of that deal you get a free interview on Chatting with Sherri for your new book with all the advertising that goes with that. Afterwards we can discuss how you did and how you can use the knowledge toward your own platform. Sound me a note if your interested at; https://www.facebook.com/RithebardWebsite/

I am giving one more month for the sale for my book’s anniversary, to celebrate; you can buy the e-book of the book for just one dollar;  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015T985JO/EnteringMySecondHalf/?tag=authorpage03-20 

 I also thought you would enjoy this short article I wrote, MY JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB: LOVELY JANEITES: WHAT WOULD JANE DO? http://t.co/splrpNbAHr

We are doing Hamlet, it is a very short version so don’t worry but it is an amazing thing to produce Shakespeare.  One thing I really find interesting is how many phrases and words come from this play.  If you think Hamlet is not your cup of tea listen to the words, you will be amazed how many times you hear his words in our modern language and people just don’t realize it. If you would like to take part in our next production please drop us a line;https://www.facebook.com/Sherris-Playhouse-1415103118746094/

For once if this story does not continue it is not my fault!

Hearing is Believing!

It is an odd thing to listen to someone reading all the parts and bring a story you wrote to life.  Whether it is a book, a play or an original fan fiction story, it is like entering a good part of The Twilight Zone.  It is sort of like an episode where Rod Serling is sitting on the edge of desk, with a glittering smile and on his face, and he is winking at you.  I came to this conclusion a few times as I heard my play A Heavenly Hand, or my original fan fiction story, The Ghost and now listening to my book come to life, Fantasy Time Inc.  I heard most of it yesterday and it is an emotional thing to hear the words you wrote and hear the impact and emotion behind it coming to you through your speakers of you computer. The new edition, (much improved and with an added section) and the audio book will out next month.  I am very excited and I can’t wait till its launched!

Our rehearsals are going wonderfully, our cast is amazing and I can’t wait for the performance of ‪#‎JohnDoe‬ on Nov 8th! We will have our cast interview on Nov 1st and our final rehearsal on that date, please check our Facebook page for any updates ; https://www.facebook.com/Sherris-Playhouse-1415103118746094/

Close to the finish line for writing my Memoir

I’m close to the finish line for writing my Memoir. Troubles with proofs and legal issues with memoir are making the going a bit slow, but the book is due out at the end of next month or the beginning of June.  For those who follow my blog who would like to write a book, it is not an easy task. re-writes even appear when it comes to the proofs toward the end of the process, which I am working on right now.  Also for this book I am using different size pictures of my life and it is a bit harder to fit it into the book then prints the same size.  So it is a bit of roller coaster right now.

 

I am also working production for Sherri’s Playhouse.  We are getting resumes for actors and I am working to get the plays going. We are now accepting resume for actors for parts in the radio plays. So please send me a note if your interested!  Remember its all in the voice! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sherris-Playhouse/1415103118746094  All the radio plays are now on Youtube, I am so excited to share all the work of the talented people involved.  It was a lot of hard work but we also had a lot of fun, thank you everyone 🙂  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3gst-mQJWiD01j4fcNCfjg

On this episode of Chatting With Sherri we welcome S N Weddle to chat about his new book; It Starts With a Kiss! S N Weddle worked as a daytime TV producer for the BBC. For much of his career he produced numerous make-over shows – and this gave him a fascination with questions concerning image, identity, beauty and the fashion industry. He remains intrigued by the insecurities that many women (and some men) feel about the way they look – and his first novel, It starts with a Kiss, explores the potential barriers of appearance and age that may prevent a person from following their dreams.

It Starts With A Kiss is a magical, funny, sexy story of glamour and romance, of lost youth and found love. 

Join us for this interesting chat! 4/15/15 1030AM PT  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rithebard/2015/04/16/chatting-with-sherri

Welcome to Chatting With Sherri this week will chat with Jeff Crawford about his book; Through Black Velvet Eyes ! Master of bone-chilling suspense novels, Jeff Crawford, may reside in North Carolina yet his novels Pheramane and Through Black Velvet Eyes are set in Ocala where he lived for ten years attending Vanguard High School and participating in both the Southeastern Youth Fair and 4H activities.Through Black Velvet Eyes is a suspense novel set in modern day Ocala with a plot that mingles the equine world, a man leading a double life, and a slice of paranormal. Pheramane is an eccentric blend of suspense, spiritual and the paranormal set in the mean and murky Florida swamplands of the late 1800s. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rithebard/2015/04/07/chatting-with-sherri

Sherri’s Playhouse Anniversary and Events!

It’s Sherri’s Playhouse’s first anniversary. Kind of cool, huh. Please listen to our shows to get yourself in the mood for this year;http://rithebard.weebly.com/sherris-playhouse.html   The due dates for plays has been extended the due date for the plays to April 15th. That should give everyone plenty of time to do all the final work that is needed. Remember there should be narration and verbal action because everything should envisioned through sound. Starting April 15th we will be accepting resume for actors for parts in the radio plays.  Remember its all in the voice! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sherris-Playhouse/1415103118746094

I had a great time Condor this weekend meeting my friend Justin Robinson and Lauri Veverka. and readers.  I met some people who read my book and enjoyed it.  And I had sold some new books during the autograph session. 

 

 

 

I had a great time on both panels;  Why are Jane Austen, Patrick O’Brian, and Georgette Heyer so Popular with Fans? Why do we love reading reimagined of their work? with my freind  Karri Thompson. and  Fan Fiction: From the Zines of Old to the Online Communities.  It was two very interactive chats.  I think everyone had fun 😉 http://www.condorcon.org/html/mainmenu.html

 

 

 

I will be appearing on Through The Looking Glass With Kinia on March 28 at  4:00PM Pacific Time  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kinia_colbert

 

 

 

 

Chatting With Sherri is thrilled to welcome back the talented author Melissa Good to chat about her newest book; Winds of Change-Book One! This is the latest in her popular Dar and Kerry series. After 9/11 the world has changed and Dar and Kerry have decided to change along with it. They have an orderly plan to resign and finally take their long-delayed travelling vacation. But as always fate intervenes and they find themselves caught in a web of conflicting demands and they have to make choices they never anticipated. Join us! http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rithebard/2015/03/24/chatting-with-sherri-is-thrilled-to-welcome-back-melissa-good

 

On Tuesday we had a great chat with author, John Rachel to chat about The Man Who Loved Too Much. We chatted about his travels and his sense of adventure.  How he decided to take adventures he had in his travels and put it into his novels. He is the author of eight novels, four of which are coming out in 2014 and 2015. He has also had over 30 short stories, 7 poems, and numerous political articles published in both print and online magazines. Currently in development is a new novel set in Japan, another in Africa, and a creative non-fiction work, allegedly an account of his extensive travels, but more likely the product of the voices in his head which have plagued him since puberty.

Wonderful Things That Happened This Year!

 

 

First I would like to wish everyone a very happy and safe New Year! I hope you all have a brilliant new year and I would like to sincerely thank each and every one of you for being a part of my year.

 

First thing that was amazing was my book that I created with my best friend Anja Gruber.  Different Is Beautiful was a labor of love and passion.  It came from a deep need to help bring love and acceptance to children in a sweet and colorful way.  We were very proud to be nominated for the Global E-book Award.  I also love the new calendar that was created for the book, it will be cool to share the picture of the book with my new year.

Next was Sherri’s Playhouse, I was so happy to bring the talents of wonderful playwrights to a new audience.  Not only did I get to see my own play shine but others too.  It is a joy to watch new work blossom.

Then with much excitement I got to create and led a panel at Comic Con.  It was my first time at Comic Con. My first time creating a panel.  And my first time leading a panel.  To say I was nervous would be an understatement but it was a great success.  I also got to enjoy my first Comic Con which was a joy.  Thank you to my panel and the wonderful audience that was much larger than I expected.

And to finish the year I had a very successful Blog Book Fair.  It was my third one and it was bigger and better than the last two.  I would like to thank all the authors and readers who took part.  I am very grateful to you.

 

I would also like to thank my followers on Chatting With Sherri, and all the people who bought my books.  You are such great people. Thank you.

Finally I would like to thank all my friends and family for being part of my life, for supporting me and loving me.

 

Thank you all!

 

 

Well, The Year Is Winding Down, Huh?

Lets just say it’s been a busy year 🙂  I have been working very hard and I am cutting back for the next couple of weeks. So last weeks Chatting With Sherri is the last episode for this year, don’t worry though we will be back on Jan 6th with new and fun chats!  Next week’s blog will be more reflective of the year but since I have my book fair, Kickstarter Campain still going strong this year I will be concentrating right now on making both as wonderful as I am capable.  I also am in the last stages of getting my latest book; “Entering The Second Half” completed.  Because it is my both my first non fiction and it is a memoir I am really cautious and checking it with my family and  friends.

 

Tuesdays episode of Chatting With Sherri;  Changing Lanes: From Hell to Heaven by Hailey Rose Barrett was the last episode of 2014.  This year has been an exciting year for my show.  Not only have I had varied and exciting guests but my fans have been very vocal in how much they love and enjoy both the style of the show and the subjects covered.  Thank you.  Our show was a lot of fun, Hailey and I chatted about writing and how it is a great way to both express your self and exercise those inner demons.  Check out our fun and lively conversation;  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rithebard/2014/12/16/chatting-with-sherri

I now have 9 backers for my Kickstarter Campaign to fund my play A Heavenly Hand to launch a local theater group here in La Mesa. I am so grateful to each one of them, but we have a long way to go.  I truly believe in my dream  to produce my play locally and see if we can get a local  theater group going again here in the suburbs of San Diego.  The money raised will go to renting a rehearsal hall, theater, programs, tickets, costumes, sets, refreshments…etc. If successful I will produce other works to make a season that will introduce live theater at affordable prices again.  I hope you will help me out; https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rithebard/sherris-playhouse-presents-a-heavenly-hand
