![]() ![]() In 1995 she won Best Silhouette Romance of 1995 from Romantic Times Magazine for Anything for Danny. She is an award-winning author who has written more than 80 books. Her first adult romance was sold three years later under her married name. Her first book, a young adult romance, was sold in 1988 under her maiden name. She has always enjoyed reading, and she believes the only thing better than reading a good book is creating a good story. After settling down into married life and starting a family, she remembered her childhood love of writing. During her touring, she met Frank Cassidy, her husband to be. She got a job performing as a singer/dancer with a show band that traveled the East coast. ![]() She was a Kansas City Chiefs cheerleader and local theater actress before she packed her bags and moved to New York City with dreams of becoming a dancer and actress. Carla Bracale grew up in a very small town in Kansas, USA. ![]() ![]() I've fallen prey to the old media line of thinking that you should be "professional" and serious in public settings. I've created a persona that isn't completely me. There's a part of me that has never felt fully self-expressed here. Also of finding your "right people," or the people you naturally click with and would be attracted to if you met in person. I've been reading a lot on the subject of voice and self expression lately. You know, serious, funny, witty, stoic, focused, humble, demure, etc. It's about how you come across to your readers. In writing, especially blogging, there's something known as finding your voice. ![]() ![]() By that, I mean the personality I've conveyed through my words. You see, for the past 16 months that I've been blogging here, I have to tell you I've never been fully satisfied with the "voice" I've created for myself. ![]() It’s time for me to share some secrets about myself. ![]() ![]() They addressed subjects which children normally do not like at school, such as mathematics, grammar, world history, geography, astronomy, Greek mythology, and so on. Many of these books are educational in a gentle and entertaining way, teaching things through the mouth of Dona Benta and by smart questions and remarks, some impertinent, some savvy, by her small and attentive audience. These three universes are deftly intertwined so that the stories or myths told by the grandmother naturally become the setting for make-believe play, punctuated by routine farm events. However the adventures mostly develop elsewhere: either in fantasy worlds invented by the children, or in stories told by Dona Benta in evening sessions. These real characters were complemented by entities created or animated by the children's imagination: the irreverent doll Emília and the aristocratic corncob puppet Visconde, the pig Rabicó and the rhinoceros Quindim, Saci Pererê (a black, pipe-smoking, one-legged character of Brazilian Folklore) and Cuca (a evil monster that was used by Brazilian mothers at night to convince kids to go to bed). ![]() Most of his children books were set in the Sítio do Picapau Amarelo ("Ranch of the Yellow Woodpecker"), a small farm in the Brazilian countryside, and featured the elderly ranch owner Dona Benta, her grandchildren Narizinho ("Little Nose") and Pedrinho ("Little Peter") and the colored servant and cook Tia Nastácia ("Aunt Nastácia"). ![]() The writer, surrounded by some of his criatures ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a case of good book, wrong reader. I got a letter from them, saying they wanted to take me on, and try to sell my story. I never heard back from Roald Dahl directly, but he read my story, and liked it enough to pass on to his own literary agent. ![]() We had a family friend who knew Roald Dahl - one of my favourite authors - and this friend offered to show Dahl my story. It turned out to be quite a long story, really a short novel, and I rewrote it the next summer. I started out writing sci-fi epics (my Star Wars phase) then went on to swords and sorcery tales (my Dungeons and Dragons phase) and then, during the summer holiday when I was fourteen, started on a humorous story about a boy addicted to video games (written, of course, during my video game phase). and on the opposite coast, in Halifax, Nova Scotia.At around twelve I decided I wanted to be a writer (this came after deciding I wanted to be a scientist, and then an architect). I was born in 1967 in Port Alberni, a mill town on Vancouver Island, British Columbia but spent the bulk of my childhood in Victoria, B.C. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't consult a doctor for it, and never have, though I have a respect for medicine and doctors. However, I know nothing at all about my disease, and do not know for certain what ails me. In the second fragment there are added the actual notes of this person concerning certain events in his life. In this fragment, entitled "Underground," this person introduces himself and his views, and, as it were, tries to explain the causes owing to which he has made his appearance and was bound to make his appearance in our midst. He is one of the representatives of a generation still living. I have tried to expose to the view of the public more distinctly than is commonly done, one of the characters of the recent past. Nevertheless it is clear that such persons as the writer of these notes not only may, but positively must, exist in our society, when we consider the circumstances in the midst of which our society is formed. ![]() The author of the diary and the diary itself are, of course, imaginary.
