I've done horror - nearly a dozen (out of 91 produced) including truly extreme horror, but nothing prepared me for this! I had to stop a couple of times and regroup. I even considered using a pseudonym, until I remembered some I've already done. So be warned: "There are graphic scenes of grossness, violence, and gore (and some comedy)." Sea Caummisar is an incredibly skillful writer of offbeat, humorous horror!

It laid the groundwork for much of the student activism of the 60s. Lawrence D. Maloney attended a Seminary at the time, fulfilling a "lifelong" (through 8th grade) ambition to become a priest. We each found a secular vocation, he as a noted journalist and publisher, I as "Harry the Librarian."

Lots of research and trial & error led to a 3-row 21-cover banner. It looks great here, but only displayed 2 of the rows on the business page. Worse, it's the bottom row, with my newest titles, that doesn't appear. When I muster more patience and strength I'll revisit this challenge.</span><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gQwlBosdX7o/X_EOWgdSsUI/AAAAAAAABqE/0CAT2PJGv20uPRsL-UkGamoZS5_4E35OwCPcBGAYYCw/s819/21%2Bcovers%2Bfor%2B2021%2Bbanners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="461" data-original-width="819" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gQwlBosdX7o/X_EOWgdSsUI/AAAAAAAABqE/0CAT2PJGv20uPRsL-UkGamoZS5_4E35OwCPcBGAYYCw/w640-h360/21%2Bcovers%2Bfor%2B2021%2Bbanners.jpg" width="640" /></a></p>Harryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06939199183564732178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994993674599615601.post-49235221785776204132021-01-01T15:58:00.000-05:002021-01-01T15:58:25.318-05:00Maintaining my Professionalism<p> </p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BGOCDEXgaR0/X--Lmuf6KyI/AAAAAAAABpc/dIof6hWbnFkR6BHC5CsLNus8ya3vxGSdgCLcBGAsYHQ/s445/apa_logo_2c%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="131" data-original-width="445" height="118" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BGOCDEXgaR0/X--Lmuf6KyI/AAAAAAAABpc/dIof6hWbnFkR6BHC5CsLNus8ya3vxGSdgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h118/apa_logo_2c%2B2.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><p></p></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />I renewed my membership on Wednesday, endangering my

Many area libraries suspended overdue fines "temporarily" as the pandemic made it impossible to return items, and in some cases furloughed staff were not there to receive them. <br />
<br />
This presented an opportunity to re-examine the whole question of fines. <br />
<br />
It is wonderful to read Worcester City Manager Augustus's "Public libraries play a vital role in the development of early literacy skills, bridging the digital divide, and providing access to library materials and services to the resident of the city of Worcester." <br />
<br />
I can tell you that for a boy growing up in a financially struggling working class family, public libraries were a gift of expanding horizons and unlimited possibilities.

This is exciting news for both "Producers" (narrators like me and our colleagues) as well as "Rights Holders" (authors and publishers.) An interesting note is that although many authors feel such "ownership" of their thoughts and words that they are the only one to give it a voice, many listeners prefer the work of professional voice actors.<br />

As Narrator/Producer I have a vested interest, but I can't help but praise Chris' skillful writing - effective foreshadowing, detail that puts you in the scene without bogging down, and characters whose plights led me, while preparing to record, to stop taking character notes and clear the tears from my eyes before I could continue, several times.<br />
<br />
This is the book I referred to two days ago when I wrote, "what I'm sure will prove to be my best and best-selling book so far is about to be released."<br />

Since posting this, on June 29th, on the eve of the Town Election where I am seeking election to a full term as a Library Trustee, I re-posted my "Post Retirement Resume" which had been included in this post.Harryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06939199183564732178noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994993674599615601.post-63862350340326282372019-12-31T12:26:00.000-05:002019-12-31T12:26:28.750-05:00Get a free copy of a short, uplifting audiobook<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bf3tbJzkDt8/XguDrJ771KI/AAAAAAAABUk/Vc32SpdbcJYc3kS_q4dU5b9rqxNkWnfVQCPcBGAYYCw/s1600/How%2Bbooks%2Bcan%2Bchange%2Byour%2Blife%2Bcover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Bf3tbJzkDt8/XguDrJ771KI/AAAAAAAABUk/Vc32SpdbcJYc3kS_q4dU5b9rqxNkWnfVQCPcBGAYYCw/s200/How%2Bbooks%2Bcan%2Bchange%2Byour%2Blife%2Bcover.jpg" width="200" height="200" data-original-width="500" data-original-height="500" /></a></div>I own audio "pep talks," some so old I digitized them from cassettes, that I frequently listen to. Some colleagues consider short works unworthy to narrate and produce, but some are satisfying for the very reason that a short listen can perk you up. I produced this author's book after 40 years as "Harry the Librarian," as a labor of love and dedication. Send an email to me at harry@harrywill.com if you would like a US or UK (you must specify which) ACX code to get your own copy for free. You can learn more about it at <br />

This, my second production for Jon, has been described as "SAW meets Flowers in the Attic."<br />

Both come with warnings to potential listeners that there is a lot of sex, violence and extreme horror. Both fold in a bit of love, hope and humanity for those who endure.<br />
