Writing a book is no small feat — even before you start to think about a way to get that manuscript onto the shelves of your local bookstore.But much in the same way the information age has given everyone the tools to become a movie producer or a newspaper editor, it’s allowed writers to circumvent the publishing industry.Just five or 10 per cent of manuscripts submitted to publishers are acce

Sadly, in the last WBGH Morning Stories podcast, Tony Kahn announced that WGBH will no longer produce this podcast after August 2008. This is definitely one of my all time favorite podcasts and I've mentioned it here no less than 7 times, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, whew! Morning Stories have meant so much to me as well as hundreds of thousands of other listeners (I'm guessing) around the globe. I have been a long time supporter of WGBH (sustaining member at that) as long as I've lived in the greater Boston area and they have been great. I just wish I were high enough on the donor pole for my voice to make a difference. But I do have this blog and I ask anyone who wants to save the Morning Stories podcast to write a comment he

But beyond the headlines of violence, there is an untold story of Jaffa, a microcosm of the Middle East.Adam LeBor, who wrote the widely acclaimed "City of Oranges", visits this ancient port where Arabs and Jews have lived side by side for decades and looks at how deep that coexistence is rooted.Jaffa is one of the world’s oldest ports. It was mentioned in the Bible and has been conquered by the Pharoahs, the Hebrews, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Ottomans, Napoleon and the British. It is a now a mixed city in Israel where Jews and Arabs live and work side by side.

One had descriptions of the wines written on the tasting menu, the other had no written descriptions, but the man behind the counter described each one himself.Which was the more enriching experience? The one with the stories.At the second winery, the person who served us was a member of the family who owns the winery. It was clear he is passionate about wine, as he is directly involved with growing, processing and selling it. As we moved on to each wine, he would hold up the bottle, show us the label, and describe the grape, its history, its farming method (they use integrated pest management and dry farming, among other sustainable methods),

The PlayStation Portable edition is an all-new game set in the seedy, sprawling underworld of Liberty City. The story takes place three years before the events of GTA III and centers on Toni Ciprini, who has just returned to Liberty City after laying low for four years. He killed a rival mob boss, after all, and leaving town is simply the smartest thing to do. Anyway, he strolls into town and lands in the warm embrace of Don Salvatore Leone, who quickly places him under the command of "capo" Vincent Cilli. From here, Ciprini embarks on a journey filled with more blood, expl

At one meeting, bundlers urged the campaign to link Iraq war costs with the faltering economy. And they got an advance copy of Obama's Philadelphia speech in which he addressed the incendiary remarks of his
