And...
Our FALL FAMILY HEROES is doing well with our interviews starting with LIVE, LAUGH, FIND TRUE LOVE
Our third interview with NYT Best Selling author Brad Meltzer as he introduces his new fiction masterpiece “Viper" is coming in December, along with more stories and interviews.
We are on course for 2026 to be helping to promote the benefits to all ages of reading and listening to great classic literature and we will soon be in talks with a University that wants to make things happen in that arena.
My desire is to popularize the incredible wealth of creative stories given to us from hundreds of great writers between 1870 and 1930- the benefits of which to both young and old are limitless with respect to helping develop mental acuity, better writing and speaking skills, and better understanding of earlier social patterns and cultures that preceded today's TV and electronic culture.
In short- when reading, writing, and storytelling were in vogue, people benefited greatly from it. Now- seniors in homes turn brain-dead watching TV all day, young people are not being well-schooled in writing, reading of great classic literature is not taught extensively, AI is replacing creative thought, our American history is being attacked and shamed, and social skills are being robbed by electronic contact.
There is a need for a return to good stories- not AI generated socially popular or "woke" trends.
My desire is to bring back "old school" quality literature done by the greatest writers who ever lived.
What I am Seeking
I am also seeking to create a "TV OFF" storytime daily for seniors facilities where they can listen to selected classic short stories (public domain, mostly pre-1930) daily- listening, not watching!
In order to keep the brain stimulated. Send your idea of how we can do that! I have hundreds of stories- but we need to create a way to reach seniors who are not capable of listening to podcasts- and there are MANY.
Until next time! Leave us a review! Subscribe to our mailing list! And as always, thanks for joining us!
