Lauren Smith: Denise tell us, what is your book about?

Give Me Back My Credit
Denise Richardson: My book is a Memoir and consumer hand-book in one. It’s not a thesis. It is a step-by-step recounting of my own personal ride through a 15 year battle to reclaim my true credit identity. It includes a series of interlocking events that exposes the insidious effects of corporate negligence, identity theft, mortgage accounting errors, bogus debt collections and weak consumer protection laws. It takes place in a land where corporate lawyers claim to be right and it's up to you to prove them wrong –and I did. The ride was a not merry one, but it was definitely a trip filled with life altering lessons that I provide at the end of each chapter. Unlike most books written by university professors, attorneys or degreed professionals, I was in the trenches and learned what I know by fighting my way out and attending the University of Hard Knocks, where I soon obtained my graduate degree in "but you can't do that to me". My story is an epic saga that happens to far too many of us. Mine is not the worst story out there –but I decided to tell me in order to paint a picture of what happens when we’re up against Goliaths, deemed guilty and must prove ourselves innocent.

An Interview with the author of Why Won’t Anyone Play with me?

 

Lauren Smith: What is your book about?

Joy V. Smith: Kallie Kitten wants to play, but all the animals run away from her; now she's left the barn and the farm animals and has wandered down to the pond, where she tries to play with other animals. The turtle goes into his shell; the frogs and salamander swim away in the pond; the tree frog jumps up onto a tree leaf. On another level, I think children may learn a lesson about playing more gently.

Why Won't Anyone Play With Me?
Lauren Smith: Why did you write this book?

Joy V. Smith: I enjoy writing about animals. Sammy's Beautiful Tail was about an anole (lizard) who lost his beautiful tail and had to get over it.  He had an attitude, but also a good friend ...If I can write a story with a deeper meaning, I am happy. 

Lauren Smith: What do you hope children will learn from your book?

 Interviewing the author of Alex Webster and the Gods

David Dent
VBRN: What inspired you to create a work of science fiction? 

David Dent: Science fiction and fantasy have always been obsessed with the nature of godhood. The idea came to me in 2002 after reading an article in the Atlantic Monthly on the explosion of new religious movements. The article noted that there were about 10,000 religions competing for our souls and that some sociologists use the idea of a religious economy or spiritual marketplace to explain what helps a religion succeed in gaining followers. One could say that Darwinism had its start in the heavens. Because the capitalist marketplace is the dominant metaphor, if not mythology, of our age, I thought it would be interesting to examine a world where gods are the producers of religious services, competing to meet the demands of humans.  

VBRN: How did you arrive at the idea of Yahweh as the first capitalist? 

David Dent: About the same time that I was considering ideas for my book, I was also taking a course in world religions. During one class the professor asked about the nature of god as presented in the Old Testament. Rather than responding from a theological perspective, I considered it from a modern reading of the Bible, asking, What kind of business leader was Yahweh? This was not by chance because my career at that point dealt with issues of corporate governance and management.  Interestingly, I found that one can argue Yahweh’s management style evolves from an entrepreneurial, hands-on deity to a maturing manager who, overtime, introduces more sophisticated management and control methods to achieve his goals. The cause for these changes is that Yahweh, like any good manager, learns from experience. His evolution is similar to that of many entrepreneurs who create new ventures and navigate them to successful organizations. In Yahweh’s case, his brand dominates the religion market, with Christianity taking about a 32 percent share worldwide. In other words, Yahweh’s story is not unlike that of Bill Gates or Henry Ford, evolving from a temperamental, even eccentric, entrepreneur to the avuncular, but distant, Chairman of the Board. And the idea tied in beautifully with the notion of a religious market. Arguably, Yahweh is the world’s first and oldest capitalist and, to this point, most successful. 

VBRN:  How did you decide on Jupiter as the old god looking for a comeback?

The Women's Daily Irony Supplement
Judy Gruen: The Women's Daily Irony Supplement is a collection of what I consider my best, funniest, and most poignant essays of the past several years. The nearly 60 chapters include:

  • When Bad Contractors Happen to Good People
  • Forward This E-Mail or I'll Break Your Kneecaps
  • Clutched by Purse Fever
  • Reading This Warning Label May Kill You
  • The Motherboard Has Blown
  • Post-Bar Mitzvah Stress Disorder
  • And much, much more! 

It's a book that most women, and even a surprising number of men, are enjoying immensely.

Lauren Smith: Where did you get the inspiration for it?
