This week Wounded Warriors Walk Among Us / Excerpt Chapter 24 deals with our returning veterans and their families.

It’s difficult right now to post once a week with all I’ve undertaken.  I hope this changes once my memoir, Diary of a Vet's Wife, Loving and Living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, is released.  I miss you guys and all the discussions!

I read an interesting interview with a famous biographer. It got me thinking about gender and if/how women write women's lives differently than "traditional" (male) biographers do the life stories of men. It resulted in a post called "Let us now praise famous men": On Breaking Convention and Women's Biography.Come by and share your thoughts.  http://julijasukys.com/?p=2820

HELP ME PUBLISH!

Thanks to my friends at Pubslush I have a wonderful opportunity to publish my book and simultaneously, help promote literacy in third world countries. 

To publish my book I need 2000 supporters. A supporter is a person who donates to my book. The minimum donation of $10 buys you a copy of my book, as well as donates a book to the featured charity. 

My book A beautiful Mess is a compilation of comedic personal essays. Think Carrie Bradshaw transplanted in the show Modern Family. While the book is deeply personal, I think it discusses issues many will relate to: divorce, single parenting, racial identity, depression, cancer, and heartache. By reading my book, I hope readers will find a part of their story embedded in mine or at the very least, laugh at my misfortunes. ☺

To support my book head to http://www.pubslush.com/book/view/84 . There you can read the first chapter. Any support you can offer, may it be networking or marketing advice, is truly appreciated. 

Thank you so much for your consideration and hopefully, support. I can’t do this with you.

Countdown to Publication: The Work of Promoting a Book

My new book, Epistolophilia: Writing the Life of Ona Šimaitė (cover seen above) will appear in four months.

A few nights ago, I had a great conversation with my press's publicist. Cara told me how she sat down on the couch to leaf through my book and was so drawn in that she ended up reading the whole thing in a matter of days.

Now, if you're a writer, you'll know how great it is to hear anyone say this. To hear it from the person who is tasked with promoting your work -- in my case, a book that took me about a decade to complete -- is like salve to the soul.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a real illness caused by many different traumatic situations and can happen to anyone! 

Visit "Has PTSD Touched You?" plus an excerpt from Chapter 26 of my memoir, Diary of a Vet's Wife, on My Uncharted Journey into Publishing My 1st Book.

Please come by the blog to read my interview with Nancy K. Miller. She is a founding member of SheWrites, a giant in the field of feminist (auto)biography, and the author of the new memoir What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past. http://julijasukys.com

I've been with SheWrites since April because my memoir is complete and I'm in the process of sending out queries to agents.  My blog is on my book and my journey into publishing.  However, I just saw your group and joined because I do have my mother' 5 year diary dating back to the late 1930's.  I'm very interested to see what this group is all about . . .

I find this group very interesting.  I myself, out of sheer luck and chance, came across personal letters dating as far back as 1935 which I have donated to Connecticut's Hartford Historical Society.  These letter's were written to a woman named Lena from some very influential people, I will share later.  The letter's are written most poetically and if there is an interest, I would love to share them with the group.  Also, take a look at my Dark Poetry & Deep Writing Critique & Discussion Group.
