The Pearlsong Conversations continue...

Join me (Pearlsong publisher Peggy Elam, Ph.D.) this coming Sunday, June 12 15, 2011 at 5 p.m. Eastern/4 p.m. Central for an hour-long chat as several Pearlsong authors continue discussing Body & Age Diversity in Literature...the topic address during last month's Pearlsong Conversation. (Click here to listen to and/or download the mp3 recording of that May 2012 Conversation.)

Pearlsong authors Lynne Murray, Lauri J Owen, Leslie Moise, Pat Ballard, Tracey Thompson & Ellen Frankel are planning to participate in this month's teleconference call. Join us live to ask questions and provide your perspective as time and technology permit.

There's no cost to participate in the Conversation, other than any long distance toll charges that might apply. The Conversation will be recorded and available for listening/downloading afterward, but we'd love for you to join us live if possible.

To receive the teleconference call details (phone number & access code), send an email to pearlsongconversations @ pearlsong.com. The call details will be automatically emailed to you.

Clockwise from top left: Lynne Murray, Lauri Owen, Leslie Moise, Pat Ballard, Tracey Thompson, Ellen Frankel.

Lynne Murray is the author of the romantic comedy Bride of the Living Dead & the upcoming The Falstaff Vampire Files. Lauri J Owen is the author of the paranormal romance Embers Series, with Fallen Embers (Book One) out last fall & Blowing Embers (Book Two) coming this summer. Leslie Moise is the author of the forthcoming memoir Love is the Thread. Pat Ballard, the Queen of Rubenesque Romances, is the author of Dangerous Love as well as seven other fiction & two nonfiction books. Tracey Thompson is the author of Fatropolis, a novel planned for publication in 2012. Ellen Frankel is the author of the new novel Syd Arthur as well as the memoir Beyond Measure.

P.S. In case you haven't seen our other new books, here are the Bookbuzzr samples of Syd Arthur by Ellen Frankel (published in April 2011) & The Fat Lady Sings by Charlie Lovett (May 2011—our first Young Adult novel).

"To be nothing but yourself
in a world which is doing its best,
night and day, to make you everybody else
means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight;
and never stop fighting."
