I must start with a special than-you to our our Contributions Manager Contributions Manager, Rebecca, for doing more Rebecca Brynolf than her normal workload in this issue while I try to finish my PhD thesis and complete a new book Contributors on dealing with bullying. Rebecca Brynolf Andy Hickson In the UK, parliamentary elections are looming, as Dr Sue Jennings we can see with the televised debates. Despite the Dan Mitchell hype they are turning out to be sanitised and safe. Dean Burnett PhD None of the main parties have so far agreed to Ceri Padley make anti-bullying training for teachers a core part of teacher training, despite petitions, letters and Cartoonist cross-party agreed parliamentary motions. I will continue to press for basic skills Dan Mitchell training to be offered to students including rights awareness, assertiveness skills, body language knowledge and confidence building. Photographer Andy Hickson In this issue we have some fabulous contributions, resources and stories to help empower you and those around you. We have some very personal stories of growth and a whole load of tips to help make you feel good. Empowerment training can have a funny twist to it; once people have become empowered the trainer is no longer required, is surplas to requirements. In a strange twist the empowerer becomes redundant. How’s that for empowerment!

The evening started off in fine style with The Diva and the Dude, also known as Kathy Harden and Andy Baylor. First we heard some fabulous old classic blues songs belted out “Koko Taylor style” – Mama Thornton’s “Hound Dog” and Ruth Brown’s “Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean.” Of course, each song was ended with Kathy’s signature high kick! She quipped that one of these days she may need a leg transplant.

Brennan “Obispo Joe” My Dear Ones in Christ, Mis queridos míos, Most of us, I am guessing, are wondering about how fast this year is La mayoría de nosotros, supongo, nos preguntamos qué rápido está going. It really does seem like ‘yesterday’ when we celebrated the Lord’s pasando este año. Realmente parece que sólo fue ayer cuando celebramos birth.

  • Traipsing the Old Stomping Grounds: the First Three Stories of a Novel-In
    TRAIPSING THE OLD STOMPING GROUNDS: THE FIRST THREE STORIES OF A NOVEL-IN-STORIES WITH A CRAFT ESSAY By Jennifer Ruth Jones Sybil Baker Sarah Einstein Associate Professor of English Assistant Professor of English (Committee Chair) (Committee Member) Thomas Balázs Associate Professor of English (Committee Member) TRAIPSING THE OLD STOMPING GROUNDS: THE FIRST THREE STORIES OF A NOVEL-IN-STORIES WITH A CRAFT ESSAY By Jennifer Ruth Jones A Thesis Submitted to The Faculty of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Arts: English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee May 2017 ii Copyright @ 2017 By Jennifer Ruth Jones All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Traipsing the Old Stomping Grounds is a novel-in-stories about the quest for love and belonging in the life of Emily, a twenty-something year-old who depends on relationships with boys/men as her only resource for fulfillment of these desires. Based on real life events but with fictionalized characters and places, each story in the novel explores a relationship Emily forges while living on her own in small town Oklahoma during the 1980s, where Mackie's, a fast food restaurant, and the people who work there become the center of her life. My craft essay explores the methods of imposing plot on life through the lens of Robin Hemley’s Turning Life into Fiction, and discusses how the craft elements of point of view and structure play significant roles in adapting life into fiction in my own work as well as in the works that have influenced my creative process.
