But beyond that, I appreciated the book’s message that the road to happiness is to be true to yourself first.” - The FlyLeaf Review “An extremely adorkable read about being comfortable in your own skin. Get ready to bring out your inner nerd!” - Sara Book Nerd “THE SUMMER I BECAME A NERD is everything you want in an ideal summer; it’s fun and bright, with the perfect mix of romance and nerdiness. You’ll devour this book with as much enthusiasm as the main character devours the latest comic book.” - Alice in Readerland “A total feel good romance with plenty of laughs and smiles, and just the right amount of emotion.” - A Good Addiction “A sweet and fun summer read that turns the tables on the popular guy/nerdy girl scenario and refreshingly features a popular girl who wants to let her nerd flag fly.

  • Jim Nach Was a Political Officer in Saigon from 1970 to 1974 and Then, As a Contractor, Worked in the U.S
    Excerpts from History of the U.S. Consulate in Saigon by James Nach Jim Nach was a political officer in Saigon from 1970 to 1974 and then, as a contractor, worked in the U.S. Refugee Program in Consulate General, Ho Chi Minh City, 2002- 2005. 1929 (May 1): 2 Place de Maréchal Joffre (Cong Truong Quoc Te [International Circle], better known as Ho Con Rua [The Turtle Pond]). After almost a year, Consul Waterman secured State Department approval for relocating the consulate to new premises. The move on May 1, 1929, was to a spacious property— not far from the present U.S. Consulate General—with an unusual history. It had been owned by Toulon-born Dr. Thomas Victor Holbé (1857-1927), a pharmacist whose early career was with the French Navy. Holbé settled in Saigon and prospered, eventually becoming vice president of the Cochinchina Colonial Council. Waterman reported that the “eccentric” Holbé “was an opium smoker and favored immense rooms with dim lighting.” He was also an amateur archeologist and eclectic collector of artifacts from Indochina and farther afield. Some of Holbé’s finds from Bien Hoa and elsewhere were exhibited at the 1889 Paris Universal Exposition (other attractions included the Eiffel Tower and Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show). References to Holbé’s work can be found in scholarly papers as recently as 2006 and reaching back a century. Academics have faulted Holbé for keeping inadequate track of the provenance of his acquisitions, but by the time of his death he had the finest collection of Indochinese antiquities in Cochinchina.

    Gazette Project Interview with Jerry Dhonau, Little Rock, Arkansas, 3 March 2000 Interviewer: Ernest Dumas Ernest Dumas: Okay, this is March 3, 2000, and this is Ernest Dumas, and I am talking to Jerry Dhonau, who was the last chief of the editorial pages for the Arkansas Gazette and a reporter before that. This is March 3rd, and we are at Jerry Dhonau’s home. Jerry, first, I’d like to get your consent . and acquiescence for the use of this material by the archives at the University of Arkansas. You realize that this is going to be public information and scholars can access this. Jerry Dhonau: I realize that, Ernie. ED: All right, let’s start with the beginnings. Where were you born? And if you could give me a little of your life history up to the point that you went to work at the Gazette. JD: Okay. I’ll capsule that. I was born in Little Rock at Baptist Hospital. ED: Who were your parents? JD: Charles Mitchell Dhonau and Lura Dhonau. ED: What did your dad do? JD: My dad worked for the Cotton Belt Railroad in North Little Rock, just across the 1 river. He settled damage claims for the railroad. And my mother was a housewife at that point. I had a brother who was about ten years older than I. He was killed in action in World War II. When I was born, we lived at 813 Adams Street. ED: Was it over near Travelers Field? JD: Yes. We could hear the crowds all the time; we could hear the lions at the zoo at night.

  • Publicity Warriors: the Japan Network, 1941–1945
    09 Chapter 08:O'Connor 5/5/10 14:42 Page 273 8 Publicity warriors: the Japan network, 1941–1945 n his alternate history novel, The Man in the High Castle (1962), Philip IK. Dick’s inverted prescience has the Nippon Times emerging from the Pacific War as top media dog in Japan’s most coveted Anglophone conquest and a prestigious media outlet for the undisputed ruler of the Pacific, the ‘China District’ and more. In a defeated America, divided between the Reich and Japan, the natural location for Tagomi, a senior trade official representing Japan in the ‘Co-prosperity Pacific Alliance’, is a suite of offices on the twentieth floor of the Nippon Times Building on Taylor Street overlooking San Francisco Bay.1 Adapting Philip Dick’s projection to the conventional truth, how did Japan’s fortunes in the Pacific War and its aftermath affect the Foreign Ministry network and its flagship? On 7 December 1941, Japan’s pre-emptive attack on the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor launched an astonishing series of military and naval upsets that would cut down the institutions and standard bearers of Western influence in Asia. Within six months of Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces had overrun American, British and Dutch forces throughout South-east Asia and occupied the Philippines, Borneo, the Celebes, the Malayan peninsula, Singapore, Indonesia and Rangoon – cutting supplies to China along the Burma Road. On 10 December, Henry Ching, editor of the South China Morning Post, noted in his ‘Bird’s- Eye View’ column, ‘Trouble about fighting the Japanese is that the blighters don’t seem to have tiffin.’2 Hongkong surrendered on Christmas Day.
