That Wonderful Call 8 I think we ought to officially make it the National Romance Ticket to Reality 9 Writers’ Month as well. Isn’t that what we live for? Romance? How Finding Time to Write 10 would each of us define romance, if asked? PROs Review the Pubs 11 FFireworks? Flames of desire? Feats of derring-do? Or, as the German religious Author Dean Koontz: reformer Martin Luther once said, would you describe your romance as the “stir Impressions 12 the oatmeal” variety, the quiet kind of love that survives even the banalities of day- A Foot in Two Countries 13 to-day life? Is romance to you the guy (or gal) you married years ago who can still bring a smile to your face today? Contests: Springboard or Sandbar? 14 As it happens, I married my dear hubby (DH) twelve years ago on Valentine’s How You Can Become a Part Day (let’s hear it, now—“awwww”), and I still love him to his toes. We are the of Romance History 16 commitment type, and though the road hasn’t always been smooth, it’s been a ride that I never would have missed. I am sometimes reminded, however, of Mrs. Charlton Heston’s comments when asked if during fifty years of marriage to Chuck, she’d ever once contemplated divorce. This genteel lady smiled and said, “Divorce? Never. Murder, yes.” I get that. Maybe that says more about me than it should, but I think that’s romantic. Do your heroes and heroines have that kind of “stay together, no matter the weather” sort of love? When your reader closes the book that dragged them from conflict to black moment to happy ending in three or four hundred pages, do they see your couple living happily ever after fifty years from now? Or do they say, “Right, I give their relationship about a week”? Do your lovers have that Romeo SSUE and Juliet (no wait, they died), Antony and Cleopatra (no...they died too), hmmm...okay, Ronnie and Nancy kind of love? I Think about it. In this edition of the LARA Confidential, we have an amazing display of virtuos- ity by our members who are out there moving and shaking the romance industry tree at its roots, hoping for a peach to fall right on their heads. Check out the Mr. Romance Pageant pictures (yes, that really is Fabio with our Jax), and the Hot Off HIS the Keyboard feature for all of the events going on just this past few weeks.

Lisa Carol Udall passed out the milestones recognition awards. LARA members are producing and on the move. LARA’s president, Kim Winklhofer, was given spe- cial recognition for her service in 2004. Cathy Yardley, Red Dress Ink author of Couch World and L.A. Woman, showed us the changing face of Chick Lit. Speaking of its origins in England, she cited Bridget Jones’ Diary as the tale that put the genre on the map. The Chick Lit heroine is savvy, single, and lives in a large city like London or New York. Her job is in a glamour industry like fashion or publishing, her boss is Evil, her lover cheats, and life has just im- ploded. Usually written in first person, the voice is hip, referencing designer clothes, bags, etc., even if the heroine is on a budget. Unlike romance, Chick Lit doesn’t have the usual happy ending. It is about the heroine’s journey, the Cathy Yardley, Red Dress Ink author, spoke on the changing irrepressible woman who overcomes all the troubles face of Chick Lit to January's attendees. in her life, and does it with panache. “The Chick Lit market moves fast,” Yardley said, Plot Your Novel pointing out the expansion into Mommy Lit, Eth- nic Lit, and Tart Noir.

As expected, things are getting weird fast. Rick Perry is bragging about how many Texans he’s ushered giddily of their mortal coil, Mitt Romney is standing in Iowa cornfi elds try- ing to convince voters he’s not an android, and Michele Bachmann is on TV every other night screeching about—well, some- thing. Anything, really. An abortive bid by Donald Trump early in the summer set the stage for a political season about as bizarre as any in living memory, and ever since, candidates have been tripping over them- selves to raise the bar even higher. Newt Gingrich continues to be the big noise in the small room, and Ron Paul just sort of stands around awkwardly, every so oft en piping up to say we should eliminate the Federal Reserve and legalize heroin, while quietly inching his way into the top three in the August polls.

  • 2021 Breeze Show Choir Catalog
    Previously Arranged Titles (updated 2/24/21) Specific details about each arrangement (including audio samples and cost) are available at https://breezetunes.com . The use of any of these arrangements requires a valid custom arrangement license purchased from https://tresonamusic.com . Their licensing fees typically range from $180 to $280 per song and must be paid before you can receive your music. Copyright approval frequently takes 4-6 weeks, sometimes longer, so plan accordingly. If changes to the arrangement are desired, there is an additional fee of $100. Examples of this include re-voicing (such as from SATB to another voice part), rewriting band parts, making cuts, adding an additional verse, etc. **Arrangements may be transposed into a different key free of charge, provided that the change does not make re-voicing necessary** For songs that do not have vocal rehearsal tracks, these can be created for $150/song. To place an order, send an e-mail to [email protected] or submit a license request on Tresona listing Garrett Breeze as the arranger, Tips for success using Previously Arranged Titles: • Most arrangements can be made to work in any voicing, so don’t be afraid to look at titles written for other combinations of voices than what you have. Most SATB songs, for example, can be easily reworked for SAT. • Remember that show function is one of the most important things to consider when purchasing an arrangement. For example, if something is labelled in the catalog as a Song 2/4, it is probably not going to work as a closer.

As international, work-based mobility is increasing, it is of critical importance to observe how it affects childhood in general and how the children experience it in particular. The various socio-emotional aspects related to children’s hypermobility – often overlooked in discourses surrounding inter- nationalization – are examined.

  • Wendy's Drops New American Authors Track - and You Just Missed It
    Wendy's Drops New American Authors Track - And You Just Missed It June 2, 2016 8:00 AM ET DUBLIN, Ohio, June 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Wendy's® and indie rock band American Authors just dropped a surprise addition to your summer playlist – possibly before you even had a chance to realize it. This week, without any advance notice, Wendy's posted a video to its Facebook and Twitter pages with an exclusive new track from American Authors called "Right Here Right Now," which will appear on the band's upcoming studio album "What We Live For." The single celebrates Wendy's recent launch of the limited-time Bacon Mozzarella Burger and highlights the joys that come along with a great surprise. Unexpected Sounds Good The launch of Wendy's Bacon Mozzarella Burger is supported by an integrated marketing campaign focused on engaging fans across channels and platforms in entertaining, interesting and surprising ways. Wendy's social posts streaming the exclusive new American Authors track will also drive users to unexpectedsoundsgood.com, a digital site where fans can stream the new track. Digital videos on Instagram and YouTube put a spin on traditional product "beauty shots" by featuring Wendy's Bacon Mozzarella Burger in unpredictable settings – including falling in a mid-air skydive and sitting at the center of a car spinning donuts. The American Authors partnership is also uniquely integrated into video spots for the Bacon Mozzarella Burger, which feature semi-hidden references to the band including a concert poster and the band's new album cover. These video spots also appear in movie theaters and include custom bumpers with the Shazam mobile app icon.
