How good is this book? Good enough that the foreword was written by Rick Bragg, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and critically acclaimed best-selling author. Pretty heady company for this gal!

Dear Friends & Colleagues,



We are proud to announce — two of Paula’s  stories have been published in My Words Are Gonna Linger: The Art of Personal History.

Check out what she has to say in her own words…

You’ll come along to my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and get a glimpse into Ted Hull’s life as Stevie Wonder’s private tutor.* You’ll read over the shoulder of a woman in California as she connects with her birth family in New Jersey by e-mail. You’ll find out how “the King of Donuts”  came to be buried in his flamboyant Pucci jacket. You’ll hear lessons from a mother to her son shortly before her death in her 30s. You’ll solve a murder with a six-year-old girl, and run away with an adventurous boy. You’ll be along when a GI is caught in “friendly fire” on a recon mission in the Pacific, and as an American POW is saved by a nurse in Germany. You’ll share a young wife’s surprise when her husband announces he’s bringing home an overnight guest — Gerald R. Ford. And you’ll share pride with a man in Appalachia who knows he’ll live on in the wooden toys he makes, when he realizes that “now my words are gonna linger too.”



Love. Grief. War. Peace. Growing up. Dying. Surviving. Faith. Adventure. All 49 touching stories are straight from the lives of people much like you or people you know. By the end of this anthology, you’ll have a fresh awareness of how each of our lives truly touches history.



My Words Are Gonna Linger: The Art of Personal History is an ideal summer book. The stories are quick reads — no heavy pondering, but messages that will linger in your mind. Priority shipping is included in the 24.95 price. (An added bonus for those of you in Florida: I’ll pay Gov. Charlie’s cut.) I hope you’ll order a copy today, either through paula’s website or by sending a check to the address below. (Yes, you could order it from Amazon or BarnesandNoble.com, but I hope you’ll choose to support this writer.)

* Since she co-authored Ted’ memoir, here’s another shameless plug: his book is a terrific behind-the-scenes look at the early days of Motown. The Wonder Years: My Life and Times with Stevie Wonder is available at Amazon.com.
