NORTH OF EVERYTHING: The Twin

http://northofeverything.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-twin_67.html

Saturday, January 17, 2015. The next of my novels I'd like to discuss is titled The Twin. I was "inspired" to research and write this one after watching a BBC documentary on Jesus of Nazareth and his possible connection to India. As the research went on, it was somewhat amazing how the pieces fell into place. From a craft perspective, this novel was a bit more complex. Kevin St. Jarre. September 27, 2015 at 7:47 PM. Is this out in print? Sounds like it needs to be on my list of read very soon books.

NORTH OF EVERYTHING: Baseball

http://northofeverything.blogspot.com/2015/05/baseball.html

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. I have always loved baseball. Since I was very little, I was told by everyone how great I was at baseball. A real natural talent. I've worked hard at it my whole life. I've practiced on my own. In the early morning, in the middle of the night. I've practiced countless hours, sometimes 10 hours per day. I've watched others play for innumerable hours, paying attention to every detail. I want to pitch for the Boston Red Sox. Nothing less. That's the goal. But that would NOT be pitchin...

Nickel and Dimed | Barbara Ehrenreich | Macmillan

http://us.macmillan.com/nickelanddimed

On (Not) Getting By in America. Our sharpest and most original social critic goes "undercover" as an unskilled worker to reveal the dark side of American prosperity. Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job - any job - can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? Impassioned,...

NORTH OF EVERYTHING: To Whom and Why?

http://northofeverything.blogspot.com/2012/10/to-whom-and-why.html

Saturday, October 20, 2012. To Whom and Why? I'm deeply interested in researching decision-making and behavior given extreme stressors, including fear and time-pressures, and how those decisions are impacted by the verbal input of those around us. A few of several questions would be- To whom will we listen when we fear for our lives, or the lives of others, and we have only seconds to decide? For whom will we surpress our own instinctual reactions in a crisis? Kevin St. Jarre. October 20, 2012 at 8:47 PM.

NORTH OF EVERYTHING: To Write Organically...

http://northofeverything.blogspot.com/2013/02/to-write-organically.html

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. When someone tells you they write organically, that is a pleasant way of saying they really don't outline in advance and that they like to let the story lead them. Unless you think the entire "organic" thing has been co-opted by ADM and major supermarket chains and the like, because then it probably is less pleasant for you. Did I really add a that to my novel? I mean, why not just have the Fonz jump sharks while waterskiing? As I sit at the computer and start writing, I gla...

NORTH OF EVERYTHING: So this whole YA thing...

http://northofeverything.blogspot.com/2015/07/so-this-whole-ya-thing.html

Thursday, July 2, 2015. So this whole YA thing. Young Adult fiction just kept coming up. I don't mean the new book sales. I don't mean one agent after another who said they were actively looking for YA. I mean readers. Smart adults, that I admire, reading YA. Now, I admit, I was skeptical. Why would educated, erudite adults, all clearly smarter than I, be reading YA? It is also true that most YA, actually I could find no exception, features a main character between the ages of 14 and 18. I realized that ...

NORTH OF EVERYTHING: Allan Hale Jr.

http://northofeverything.blogspot.com/2015/02/allan-hale-jr_7.html

Saturday, February 7, 2015. This morning I learned from an old friend that one of our dear and mutual friends has passed away, Feb 3, after a battle with cancer. Last July, when I was living in NH for the summer, Allan Hale emailed me:. So you're in Groton? I'd like to meet you sometime for a beer! I live in Laconia now. I haven't been on email lately, I was out the last several work days . . . Just got back to work today. Let me know when a good time for you is. We didn't get that beer. Now, we won't.
