If They Only Listened to Us
Soon after the 2004 presidential election, veteran reporter Melinda Henneberger set out across the country to listen to women of all ages and occupations express their strong opinions on the major issues of our time. Over eighteen months she spoke in depth and at length with more than two hundred women in twenty states, from Massachusetts to Arizona and Oregon to Texas. She discovered how unheard women feel, how ignored and disregarded by both major parties and by most politicians. Listening to women all over the nation -- not only on what are traditionally thought of as "women's issues" but on issues of paramount importance to all Americans -- Henneberger shines a light on what women voters...

Queen of the Platform
These poems are based on the life of Laura Madeline Wiseman’s great-great-great-grandmother, the nineteenth century lecturer, suffragist, and poet, Matilda Fletcher Wiseman (1842-1909) and the men in her life: her brother, George W. Felts (1843-1921), a civil war solider who was later charged with murder, her first husband, John A. Fletcher (1837-1875), a school teacher and a lawyer, and her second husband, William Albert Wiseman (1850-1911), a minister who became her agent. Like her seven brothers who served in the Civil War, Matilda chose the public sphere. After the death of her only child, Matilda joined the lecture circuit. She spoke to support herself and her first husband, until his death. On the stage she spoke among other lecturers of her time, such as Susan B. Anthony.
Not So Grimm Gentle Fables and Cautionary Tales
In his dedication of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis said to the young people for whom he wrote, "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." not so GRIMM is a collection for those who are ready for fairy tales. The stories take place in our familiar world, but the author also pulls back the curtain between this reality and another in surprising scenes, evoking the old tales while tapping the shoulder of the 21st-century conscience.

Freckles to Wrinkles
Freckles to Wrinkles brings you the wit and wisdom of generations. Its sister anthology, Silver Boomers - a collection of prose and poetry by and about baby boomers, spotlighted the "growing up" of the Baby Boomer generation. Freckles to Wrinkles widens the circle to embrace the span of memories from budding childhood to ripest age. Meet the paperboy of the past tossing square-folded newspapers toward porches, and the high school team player wearing the wrong size football shoes. Consider a mother's hands, recall the face of your best friend in grade school, listen in on a party-line phone conversation. Splash in summer puddles and into a chilly winter creek. Travel these pages with the human spirit that is ever fresh from the first freckles to the last wrinkles. This volume by Silver Boomer Books continues the tradition of the Crawl Line and the Quartet's cyber-editing challenges.
