First We Eat: Writer’s Digest Review

2020-12-12

As with my first book, “Camp Follower One Army Brat’s Story“, I submitted my new release “First We Eat. Food, Life, and More Stories” for the prestigious Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, 28th Annual edition. Because of 2020, I actually had forgotten that I submitted it back in April, until the email came in October … More First We Eat: Writer’s Digest Review

Book Marketing Experiments

2020-09-07

Ok, enough said with the title, right? Not many authors I know enjoy marketing their books.

June 2020: Better. Not there Yet.

2020-06-30

June both lived up to its promise, and disappointed. I’ll start with the bad news (as to finish with the taste of good.) Doesn’t look like any travel out west this summer. Manitoba is still locked down to outsiders like me. I will resist any snarky comments, but it’s hard news that I can’t visit … More June 2020: Better. Not there Yet.

May 2020: Back to Living

2020-05-30

For a month that started with Winter in Canada still sending snow flurries – (bizarre sight to awaken to – condo landscaping efforts begun; overnight sprinklers in freezing temps turning leafless shrubs into gorgeous morning sunlit icicle clumps) – May is ending with a heat wave and signs of life for this author. Yes, I’m … More May 2020: Back to Living

April 2020. Lockdown Gets Real.

2020-04-29

For a month where nothing was possible to do outside the home, I find I’m struggling to summarize April 2020 in my preferred manner of short and concise. How can I have so many words to describe so few actions? Let’s start with the obvious : In April, Lockdown against the COVID-19 virus got serious. … More April 2020. Lockdown Gets Real.

Easter 2020. “First We Eat” excerpt

2020-04-12

Happy Easter, from my physically-distanced home to yours. The times call for adaptation, whether we want to, or like it, or not. (A quality that many military families can relate to 😉 Please enjoy this video reading of an excerpt from my new book,        “First We Eat. Food, Life, and More Stories”

Excerpt Time! First We Eat.

2020-03-20

Who knew in January and February, while rushing to do publisher duties in preparation for March 2020 release of my new book, “First We Eat. Food, Life, and More Stories” by Michele Sabad, that all events and signings would have to be postponed. A small drop of disappointment amid severe larger world problems, for sure, … More Excerpt Time! First We Eat.

For this Retired Author, Life is Risky

2020-03-13

I’m in my 60s now, in retirement, and the older I get, the riskier life appears to be. I need not mention the higher risk of diseases, of injuries from failing bodies not as adept to navigate our busy world. Driving a car is one of the riskiest functions I perform and I’m more aware … More For this Retired Author, Life is Risky
