What is the writer's method? How does a writer get strings of inspired words from his mind onto the page? Not very well if you're Ben Halaby, filled with dedication but grappling with writer's block. Halaby stumbles across a book on creativity: Julia Cameron's the The Artist's Way. The essence of Cameron's book is to write three pages nonstop first thing in the morning for 84 days to break out of a block. Halaby heeds Cameron's advice, and what we see, as the words come gushing out of his pen and soul, is not only the creative process in action, but we see a man turning into his old storytelling self again.

Write Now! is a BIG/little book about writing, writer's block, getting published and selling your book. It's about the urge to write, writing mentors, fighting against complacency, when to start to write and what to write. If you're a writer or have an interest in writing, Write Now! will lead you into the writer's life--to the life of rejection, questioning your writing abilities, wondering if you'll ever get published and what to do when no one comes to your book reading. This important book is not only the story of the making of a writer, it's also a book that will make you want to write.

The year is 1969. Joshua Sampson, a white history teacher in a black ghetto high school in South Central Los Angeles, finds the only way to break through a brick wall of apathy is to let his students teach. Sampson's students, with his guidance, start leading discussions on Black Power, the Vietnam War, capital punishment, premarital sex, the grading system, drugs, freedom, and whether Sampson is teaching them or not. They hold trials, have weekly debates, sign petitions and drop notes and essays into the "Ideas and/or Complaints" box. It's a participatory democracy in action. The only thing wrong is, the principal doesn't like the way Sampson is running his classes.

Action & Adventure

After the Giants moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958, it took them 53 years to win their first World Series in 2010. Incredible. Their next title came in 2012. Miraculous. Then, in 2014, they became world champions again. Magical. Drawn from his personal journal, Joseph Sutton has combined all three of the Giants' World Series seasons into this one book. His unique observations will bring back a flood of memories for Giants fans, both young and old, on how the Giants, underdogs each year, reached the pinnacle of the baseball world three times in five years.What makes this book truly distinct is that it's interwoven with the story of how baseball has influenced Sutton's relationship with his son Ray, from the time Ray was a Little Leaguer through high school. It shows how the game of baseball, ever since its very beginnings, has cemented relationships between fathers and sons, and some daughters, too.

Who'd a thunk the San Francisco Giants would win two World Series titles in three years? After the team moved from New York to San Francisco in 1958, it took them 53 years to win their first title in 2010. The next one came only two years later. Who'd a thunk? Drawn from his personal journal, Joseph Sutton's observations of the two World Series seasons will bring back memories of how a collection of castoffs in 2010 and a young bunch of ballplayers in 2012 took the Giants to the pinnacle of the baseball world against all odds. This book is also interwoven with the story of how baseball has influenced Sutton's relationship with his son Ray, and how it enhances the importance the game plays in cementing relationships between fathers and sons, and some daughters too.
