I WAS INTERVIEWED BY HEIDI THOMAS ABOUT WRITING WITH A PARTNER

 Heidi Thomas interviewed me and my  WHO'S GOT THE MONEY? co-author Meredith Holland on her blog . You can read Part I on her blog today. 

We talk about writing as co-authors. WHO'S GOT THE MONEY? is the new funny crime caper from Oak Tree Press inspired by real incidents with furniture manufacturing in federal prisons.

Every time I write with a partner, it is a different experience because it all depends upon the project, my co-author's strengths in concert with mine and many other factors. I've discovered that if you set up the guidelines and the "do's and dont's" in the beginning, writing with a partner can be lots of fun.

I'm currently working on two more novels, each with different writing partners, plus a book of my own. Whew!

TODAY'S LAUGH WITH ROSETTA BLOG POST

Rosetta Schwartz was my mother and I edited and contributed to CAN WE COME IN AND LAUGH, TOO? Her life was a combination of funny and touching stories, many of which are in the book she wrote in 1989 at the age of 80. There simply wasn't enough room for all of them, so I started the Laugh With Rosetta blog. Her manuscript was lost for several years and found last year. The result is CAN WE COME IN AND LAUGH, TOO? To date, this book has delighted thousands.

TODAY'S LAUGH WITH ROSETTA BLOG: 

http://tinyurl.com/csem95n Family dinners were like a comedy show with up to 40 players in this big, zany family. I started this blog for a place to post stories that were not in the heartwarming book as well as some excerpts from the book. Read the full posts for your inspiration or chuckle.  Rosetta passed away in 2006 as she neared her 97th birthday, but through the book and blog her laughter and inspiration live on. She was an ordinary woman with the ability to make anyone believe in themselves. Today's post captures the laughter that always prevailed in the Schwartz family. 

The time is growing near for the release of "Who's Got the Money?"

This is exciting! 

The time is growing closer for the release of my latest funny crime caper, Who's Got the Money? co-authored with Meredith Holland. 

Forget about the notion that little prison factories manufacture nothing but license plates.  Manufacturing in prisons is big business with modern factories.


It’s a fact that federal prison factories manufacture $800 Million of merchandise every year, but most people don’t know that. Although the book is fiction, by using our first-hand knowledge of this little-known government business, Meredith and I cooked up a clever scheme equal to anything splashed across the headlines or featured on the Ten O’Clock News.

The funny antics of the whistle-blowers in Who’s Got The Money is guaranteed to lead you on a merry chase filled with twists and turns. Follow three sharp women as they unravel a clever misappropriation of government funds plot.

To be released by Oak Tree Press in mid-July.
