3232Manhein fascinates Zachary book clubs with truth and fiction | Zechariah

Mary Manhein has the personality of a caring grandmother, but the retired forensic anthropologist is nothing short of a rock star who hypnotizes crowds with tales of bodies, bones and puts on faces on people deprived of basic life and identity.
The former Zachary resident and author addressed a gathering of Zachary’s five book clubs on May 4 and shared how her famous cases and solving murders helped launch a career as a mystery writer.
Manhein, retired director of LSU’s Forensic Anthropology and Computational Enhancement (FACES) Laboratory, is the author of nonfiction books “The Bone Lady: Life as a Forensic Anthropologist” and “Trail of Bones: More Cases from the Files of a Forensic Anthropologist.”
His detective novel, “Floating Souls: The Canal Murders”, is set in New Orleans, as is his latest detective novel, “Murder in the Cities of the Dead”. The main character is – without stretching it – a forensic anthropologist investigating a murder and navigating a romance with the local coroner.
The protagonist’s life’s work is not the only sample of reality in the book. Brutus, the Great Dane in the mystery, is based on the dog Manhein had when she lived in Zachary.
“I loved that dog, but he was known to get in trouble,” she said before the crowd burst into laughter. “I had to tie him up, but he would go to the neighbor’s on Sundays and steal the wet bluejeans off the clothesline at the back of the house. I had to wash them, wet them and look for the car across the street. He was so bad.
Twice a day we’ll send you the day’s headlines. Register today.
The mysteries of Manhein have a following among young and old readers. “I think kids from six to 100 read these books because they’re fun mysteries,” she said. “They don’t have anything horrible about them and so I think, more than likely, they would like that.”
A grandmother seeking a recommendation for a teenager was told not to overlook a youngster’s interest in the true stories of Manhein’s career. “He might even like non-fiction because kids like non-fiction,” Manhein said. “And again, there’s nothing scary about them. They just tell the truth.
The truth of his work with the FACES Lab has earned him international acclaim. Over nearly four decades, Manhein has helped authorities identify the remains of hundreds of people. In “Bone Remains,” she offers details about several cases, but she told book club members she was still surprised at how her life and work turned out. “I never thought I’d do something like this if not from rural northern Louisiana/southern Arkansas,” she said. “I always wanted to go to university, but I couldn’t afford it. I started out as a freshman at LSU around age 30. So I just took over.
Manhein’s famous cases have often been sad events, but she’s certain her work has brought justice and closure. Those cases included helping link evidence to convicted serial killer Derrick Todd Lee and being part of the team sent to identify remains after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
The grief is still evident in Manhein’s voice as she talks about Baby Doe, a young child whose body and head were found in different places. Baby Doe had decomposed considerably, but Manhein’s team was able to create a three-dimensional clay image that was recognized by a close relative.
DNA evidence was used to identify the child and bring his killers to justice. “Unfortunately, it’s not bringing this child back,” Manhein said. “She was a precious little child who was so happy with this carer. So this stuff breaks your heart, but I was up there again in Kansas for the reburial. So it was great to be able to do that.

A mother is a good storyteller, reader
Amid the onslaught of social media, we are witnessing the slow death of the reading habit. However, thanks to the tireless efforts of bibliophiles, several organizations are reviving the love of books. An entrepreneur, textile consultant and book enthusiast, Shubha Sanjay Urs has been at the forefront of promoting literary pursuits. Founder, Managing Director and Chairman of Mysuru Book Clubs-2015 and Mysuru Literary Forum Charitable Trust, run on a not-for-profit model, Shubha has successfully put Mysuru on the global map of the book reading world. In addition to being the head of literary activities, she is the mother of a seven-year-old boy. On Mother’s Day today, Shubha tells Star of Mysore how a mother is a good storyteller and reader herself and the role book clubs play in establishing that fact.— Ed
By Nandini Srinivasan
Star of Mysore (SOM): Tell us about your journey from entrepreneur to book club founder.
Shubha Sanjay Urs: I loved books, being born into a family of book lovers. My father and my grandfather had a collection of books and there was always some conversation or the other around the books. My grandfather D. Jayadeva Urs, who was an MP for Hinkal (Chamundeshwari constituency), introduced the Ramayana and Mahabharata to us. Although my father traveled for work, he made a point of reading aloud to us. This is how our journey with the books began.
When my great-uncle DV Urs was Vice Chancellor of Mysore University, my great-grandmother stayed with him. As a result, we children spent a lot of time there. As a child, I was impressed by the huge collection of books in his house and often went to the library and looked at these huge volumes. I was curious to know what was inside the pages and the smell of the books was addictive.
SOM: How did you come up with the idea of creating a book club?
Shubha: I left Mysore for my Masters; then got married, so stayed out. I was thrilled to move to Mysuru with my eight month old son for work reasons. Here I researched social activities and found a lot of cultural activities. I realized that not much was happening in the literary field. I opened a book club on June 4, 2015.
SOM: Did bibliophiles share your enthusiasm?
Shubha: Initially, I wasn’t sure about reading habits or trends here. To get the pulse, I suggested ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini, and called the members together for a meeting 10 days later. I was impressed by the kind of discussion and emotions generated by the book. Later, I felt that we also needed a Kannada book club.
SOM: Did you expect Kannada readers to be interested?
Shubha: I wasn’t sure but I was excited. First I asked existing members to spread the word and ask them to come to the meeting to read any Triveni book to get the business started. The response was overwhelming and ‘Kannada Oodhugara Okkoota’ was born. Coincidentally, it was the month of Rajyotsava and author Aryamba Pattabhi was invited to a writers meeting which also encouraged our members. Today, this little spark that we have lit has lit a thousand lamps.
SOM: How many clubs are active, how often do you meet and who is eligible?
Shubha: 21 book clubs are fully active to date. Two more are in sight but are on hold due to the pandemic. We meet once a month. During the pandemic, we met online and even author meetups were virtual. We have many colleges enrolled in the Young Adult Club. Anyone who enjoys reading is welcome to join us by contacting us via https://www.mysuruliteraturefestival.com. We didn’t start having all women in book clubs. It turned out so.
SOM: So the book club is at the service of regular readers?
Shubha: After regular book clubs, I reached out to other people like people with disabilities, orphanages, slum dwellers, public schools, and the elderly. A different strategy is planned for each group. As for people with disabilities, we produce small illustrated books. We give them paper and pencils and ask them to draw in books. The next time we meet, they’re staging the story in costumes. This instilled a lot of confidence in the children. In orphanages, they are introduced to the practical world. For seniors, a book is chosen after discussion with them and books are read aloud. We also leave a few copies for them to read in their spare time. For young children, these are moral books.
SOM: How did the idea of a Literature Festival come about?
Shubha: The first question that arose when I approached the idea was, does Mysuru need a festival like those in metropolitan cities. We launched the first festival to find out. With the support of all our directors and members, it was a great success. Special care is taken to have topics on Mysuru. We have a special place for self-published and local authors, where any author can come in and leave their books for sale.
We also have “Meet the Author” where authors talk about their books and interact with readers. We had stalwarts like Dr SL Bhyrappa, Girish Karnad, Amish Tripathi, Devdutt Patnaik, Jayanth Kaikini, Sudha Murty, Jeffrey Archer, Karan Thapar, Manu Pillai, Vikram Sampath, Javagal Srinath, P. Chidambaram, Ashwin Sanghi, Vasudhendra, Vaidehi, Yasmeen Premji, Tejaswi Surya, Adrian Levy, Vikram Kirloskar, Romulus Whitaker, Senani, Krupakar and Nawaaz Ahmed.
SOM: You had the festival even during the pandemic.
Shubha: Our first literature festival was held on June 4, 2017. I must mention the immense support and encouragement I received from author Aroon Raman. Our trustees, friends, book club members and family have been a constant support. This festival belongs to Mysuru and not just to me or any group of people. I’m proud to say that every Mysurean is proud of it, attends and spreads the word. We held the festival online during the pandemic and uploaded it to YouTube and Facebook.
SOM: Online must have launched technical challenges?
Shubha: The challenges were many. A city boy Aryaman Urs, a 12th grade student in Coimbatore who was staying with his grandmother in Mysuru, called to ask me if I would give him a chance to help technically. The first panel to go live included four women from France, Germany and the United States. It was a challenge to do it right. I trusted Aryaman and the 4th Literature Festival in 2020 went smoothly without any technical issues. People from all over the world connected.
SOM: Has there been an improvement in the reading habits of your book club members?
Shubha: Many of them say they stopped reading for different reasons. But after joining the club, they picked up the habit. Even those who weren’t very regular readers are into it now. Each Book Club meeting sees a new type of discussion. Shy people today are confident to moderate with authors. A few of them have also taken up writing and released their books.
Each member has the opportunity to do their part. And the number of members has increased several times. With each encounter, we also develop emotional connections and support systems. To tell you, authors from all over the world contact me to ask me to invite them to the Mysuru Literature Festival. Even Hindi authors have started to show keen interest. Previously, I found it difficult to reach the authors, but today, surprisingly, they reach out to me.
SOM: Do all Book Clubs work the same way?
Shubha Sanjay Urs: There are many who like to read but cannot for various reasons. A book club is run exclusively for these people. Here, we invite authors who talk about their books and initiate a discussion. In other clubs, books are offered in advance for members to read and discuss. I also give members the opportunity to read a book of their choice once every 3 to 4 months. We read books of different genres.
SOM: Mothers have always been fantastic storytellers and readers. Your book club also has so many mothers.
Shubha: Storytelling is a consequence of good reading. For some mothers, it is stories heard that are passed on. Whether it’s grandmothers or mothers, these stories not only fascinate children, but also show a keen interest in reading them. We had author meetings with women of all ages and professions. From Sudha Murty to B. Jayashree, several authors have interacted with our members. Each of them is a wonderful storyteller. We hope to continue to celebrate the perspectives of mothers.
SOM: To what extent did your mother influence you?
Shubha: My mother did what mothers did back then. She raised four children and housed students who lived away from home to study. She provided eight rooms and took care of their necessities. She educated underprivileged children under Bhavani Shishu Vihara, until the government launched the Hiriya Prathamika Shaale. She was part of the fair price committee and ensured that everyone received regular rations. Even today, she helps a few students. Now 70 years old, she is involved in organic farming in Bogadi.
SOM: Your message for Mother’s Day?
Shubha: Mothers are the magicians of a family. So, never be discouraged, be a shining light to your family and those around you. Always remember that God created mothers because God could not be everywhere at the same time. Mother is an endless book where each page gives us an inspiring lesson and a comforting hug. My son attended all the book club meetings, sitting with us, playing around, writing something and turning the pages of our book.

Weber is the author of the Level 3 Step-Into-Reading Book for Disney’s Encanto
Plumeri with his daughter and his latest release: The Perfect Lullaby
Tornetto with his latest release: Gardens Are For Growing
Certified Educators Start a Company to Simplify the Publishing Process
GURNEE, Illinois, USA, April 28, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Local author Vicky Weber has always wanted to write children’s books but thought that dream was unrealistic. One day, she decided to dive headfirst into the industry to see what was going on. What she found through her research was a lot of overwhelming and conflicting information…and none of it could be easily found in one place.
“It was like trying to piece together a puzzle without knowing what the picture looked like. It was overwhelming at times, but I was determined to achieve my dream,” says Weber. Indeed, Weber became a bestselling author in the 9 months after publication and was later released by Disney.
In a conversation with fellow teacher and award-winning author Brittany Plumeri, Weber realized she wasn’t the only one feeling paralyzed with fear and overwhelmed with information early in the publishing process. Plumeri had felt that too, as had countless other members of the authoring community.
“As Certified Educators, we wanted to help. We wanted to do what we do best: teach! says Weber. So in January 2021, Weber, Plumeri, and Scholastic author and teacher Chelsea Tornetto created author at home: a coaching and consulting firm specializing in children’s books to help current and aspiring authors navigate the world of publishing and succeed.
Plumeri says, “I wanted to provide a safe place that the author community lacked. A solution that others could trust and know that in the end they would walk away with exactly what they needed – no loopholes or smokescreens. Just facts and support.
With Weber as a self-publishing expert, Plumeri as a design and social media marketing strategist, and Tornetto as a traditional publishing specialist, the company has already helped hundreds of people write, publish and market their children’s books – and make them stand out from the crowd.

https://innerbookshop.com/4-book-authors-who-loved-their-film-adaptations/
Wed, 02 Feb 2022 08:00:00 +0000https://innerbookshop.com/4-book-authors-who-loved-their-film-adaptations/
Writing a success story that wins millions of hearts around the world takes years and years of hard work. And seeing their books transformed into blockbuster movies and binge-worthy series must be fulfilling for authors. Not every adaptation becomes a hit, however, but there are tons that do the book complete justice. Have you ever wondered what book authors might think of the movie adaptations of their books? Let’s find out who these four book authors are who loved their film adaptations.
1. blade runner is adapted from the novel by Philip Dick, Do androids dream of electric sheep? But he tragically died before the film was released. However, a letter on his website spoke a lot about the graphic representation of artistic expression, saying, “What I’m saying is that you have all collectively created a unique new form of graphic and artistic expression never seen before. previously. And, I think, Blade Runner will revolutionize our conceptions of what science fiction is and more. »
2. A famous romantic comedy, Crazy Rich Asians, released in 2018, is based on a novel written by Kevin Kwan. Fans absolutely loved the movie and its characters, especially Nick and Rachel, and their chemistry. And not just the fans; the author loved the performance too. The author celebrated the film and believed it opened a door for Asian actors in the film industry. A revolutionary film indeed!
3. The Harry Potter The franchise probably has the biggest fanbase in the world. JK Rowling’s brilliant writing and direction led to the creation of one of the greatest franchises. And along with us Potterheads, JK Rowling also loves movies. She has also played a significant role in the production of the franchises, and her favorite is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
4. John Grisham is one of the best legal thriller writers. His novels are fascinating and very gripping. And what could be better than a beautiful film adaptation of a brilliantly written novel? It is the same with The Rainmaker. Fans love John Grisham’s work in the rainmaker, and the film was none the less. Directed by Francis Coppola, the film is studded with an excellent cast. Grisham also likes adaptation.

The process of obtaining installment loans online has become more well-known than ever before.It is easy to understand how the function of the loan, however, this is a subject that many people are unable to comprehend.However, the good news is that they aren’t difficult to understand and very well-liked.Once you understand the fundamentals of how they work in your daily life you’ll be aware of how they could benefit you.Installments are an excellent way to increase your cash flow while also being capable of making large purchases that you require for your everyday life. Bridge identifies No Credit Check at their website.
What is an Installment Loan?
It’s the installment loans definition is fairly easy to grasp.You’re likely to be a victim of a loan, but not ever having heard of the term.Actually, the majority of the loans that you’ll need to obtain throughout your life fall in this category.The type of loan you’ll need is for a certain amount that is paid in installments.While the term isn’t often employed, you’ll encounter these loans in your daily life.If you’re seeking to get mortgages on your home or get funds for vehicles, or particular kinds of school loans. You’ll need to be able to take out this type of loan.
It is important to remember that this type of loan typically has a fixed rate of interest for the duration of its duration.This means that they are loans that have fixed payment dates.It’s simpler to distinguish the type of loan from those that have revolving credit cards.They have monthly payments that change according to the credit line you’ve used.The loan will be ended when the principal, as well as all interest, is paid, which gives these loans an expiration date that is fixed.
How Do Installment Loans Work?
If you choose to make installment loans online or from traditional lenders, the process is the same.The lender will work with you to determine the amount you’d like to loan and then create a timetable for repayment to ensure that you are aware of when the loan has to be repaid.

In March of this year, I wrote that I had been surprised to find a beautiful mansion on a side street of Kane that had been the scene of some of the action in the fictional book “Tonight in the Rivers of Pittsburgh ”by Brian Lee Weakland. Located on the edge of the Allegheny National Forest, it had recently been purchased by innkeepers Ben and Debra Miller and had previously been operated as a historic bed and breakfast for some time. After telling the innkeeper about the book, I told him I would like to bring my book club there for lunch and a visit later in the summer.
What started as an outing for my St. Marys Book Club and our guests, grew to include the DuBois Book Club I belong to, and I was contacted by a member of the Brookville Book Club who had read the March column and had also expressed interest in joining us. Everyone I spoke to were more than up for a fun outing, and we met up with a group of 48 book lovers and their guests at Kane Manor on a hot day in mid-August! The group was too large to have the buffet lunch in the mansion so we were in the permanent tent on the grounds which is also used for weddings.
We enjoyed a variety of hot sliders, sautéed salads, cheese, crackers, and meat platters, plus fruit and veg platters, all perfect for a summer lunch. Assorted cookies and chocolates were served with coffee later in the mansion. After the meal we met the author of “Tonight in the Rivers of Pittsburgh” via Zoom. Amy Fehrenbach of the St. Marys Book Club said: “I was certainly impressed when Innkeeper Debra reached out to our featured author, Brian Lee Weakland to set up a Zoom Q&A meeting. This special act made the day even more beautiful and enjoyable.
From the author we learned that he stayed at the Kane Manor Inn when he was in the area researching for the book and decided to incorporate the mansion into the action of the book which took place near the Kinzua Bridge. He noted that there were two other books in the Rivers of Pittsburgh mystery trilogy, “Woods on Fire” and “Zelienople Road”. He was impressed with the size of our group and the renewed interest in his book.
After the Zoom meeting, we split into 3 groups for the tours narrated by our innkeepers. Janet Neeper of DuBois Book Club said: “… The innkeepers were very knowledgeable about the history of the Inn and made the Inn visit very special. It made a very pleasant afternoon. I look forward to visiting and staying at this hostel in the future. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a special getaway. ”
Brookville Book Club member Melody Haring said: “We had a lovely afternoon with the Millers, owners of Kane Manor, an energetic and creative couple who showed us around the mansion and explained their connection. with the community.
Many necessary renovations have already been carried out and scaffolding is currently being installed around the iconic columns of the portico as they undergo reinforcement and reinforcement. During all of the renovations, it is evident that the Millers have gone out of their way to maintain as much of the inn’s original look and feel as possible. The impressive structure of Georgian and neo-colonial architectural styles is listed in the National Register of Historic Inns. For more information, visit www.KaneManorInn.com.
What I find interesting is that Ben and Debra didn’t know their mansion was in this book until I arrived at their door on that snowy February day, with many questions about the possibility that the inn be the Leigh Rose mansion mentioned in the book. After the Zoom session, I presented them with a copy of the book for their guest library located in the living room. Participants also got to participate in a book exchange, an ever popular activity for bookworms!
I was delighted that so many bibliophiles, united by their common love for reading, were able to discover a beautiful part of Kane’s history while enjoying a great meal and having fun in the afternoon! Stay tuned for possible book club gatherings at other historic inns next summer.
