Late July 2016

We are officially less than 10 days from the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD --- or roughly 9 days, 14 hours and 30 minutes at the time of writing this newsletter, but who’s counting? Scholastic got the party started early today with a good old-fashioned #MuggleMob outside of their offices in SoHo, New York. About 300 employees gathered in a flash mob to read from Harry Potter books and give away free copies of the previous books in the series while music from the movies played in the background. I’m sad to say that I wasn’t on the scene, but my Twitter feed gave me major FOMO --- you can see some pictures above.

All Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker

July 2016

I read ALL IS NOT FORGOTTEN by Wendy Walker a long while back in manuscript and then refreshed myself with the story by listening to the audiobook, which is narrated brilliantly by actor Dylan Baker (you’ll know his voice from “The Good Wife” and “The Americans”). 

At the heart of the story is the rape of Jenny Kramer, a young teen who was assaulted in the woods where she wandered off to while a party was going on. A decision is made to erase the memory of what happened to Jenny that night so she can move on with her life. But she does not bounce back to being the teen she was. There are many layers of hurt here, including a scar on her lower back that keeps bothering her. While the memory of that night is gone, there are triggers that remain.
