The Fox Family
One early spring afternoon, I was happily lying on a hammock in my backyard, reading. I looked up. About forty to fifty feet in front of me was a red fox sitting, relaxed, observing me. Hmm. She took a few steps towards me, sat down, and continued staring. What was she thinking? I got up, headed into my house, leaving her sitting. I watched her circle my house several times, glancing into windows. Eventually, she relaxed on my driveway, then disappeared. I kept looking for her. I have a long, narrow forest area with many trees at the edge of the property behind my house. About six weeks later, the beginning of May, this red fox reappeared in this wooded area...followed by four kits and a second adult red fox! I loved the scene. Where had they been? They must live nearby? Thus began my story, The Fox Family. This is the author's first children's book.
The Squirrel Family
One fall day, Mom Margie and her two children--Dennis, nine, and Susie, eight--happily walk on a two-way bicycle path surrounded by trees that is frequented by walkers and joggers as well as bicyclists. They listen to birds and watch squirrels run across the path, up the trees, and chase one another. Occasionally, someone walks by, pushing a carriage and/or walking a dog. Dennis turns to his mother. "Can we get a pet? We really want one." Their mom smiles broadly, nodding her head yes. Dennis looks at Susie then at his mother and says that they would like to adopt a squirrel. Margie looks surprised and pulls out her cell phone. "I was not picturing a squirrel, but let's check out if they would make a good house pet." Thus begins The Squirrel Family. This is the author's second children's book.
The Music of Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin the actor is universally synonymous with his beloved Tramp character. Chaplin the director is considered one of the great auteurs and innovators of cinema history. Less well known is Chaplin the composer, whose instrumental theme for Modern Times (1936) later became the popular standard "Smile," a Billboard hit for Nat "King" Cole in 1954. Chaplin was prolific yet could not read or write music. It took a rotating cast of talented musicians to translate his unorthodox humming, off-key singing, and amateur piano and violin playing into the singular orchestral vision he heard in his head. Drawing on numerous transcriptions from 60 years of original scores, this comprehensive study reveals the untold story of Chaplin the composer and the string of famous (and not-so-famous) musicians he employed, giving fresh insight into his films and shedding new light on the man behind the icon.
