Write On! PatMarcello.com | A woman who has redesigned herself more times than Tyra Banks has redesigned her hair

Hey, how’s it going? I’m Pat Marcello and I’ve written 10 books for publishers like ABC-Clio, Lucent, and Andrews-McMeel. I haven’t been writing for magazines or writing books for years, but I do write every day. I am a writer. And I have writerly thoughts all the time — some twisted, some normal. And so, I’d like to share a little of each with you. Enjoy!

My Cat Ghost: Pearl

by Pat Marcello | Oct 17, 2010 | Pat Life | 0 Comments

Don't you love Sunday morning? Everyone is respectful of the day and things are pretty quiet on Sunday morning. I remember when I was a little kid, growing up in Pennsylvania. EVERYTHING was closed. That made me hate Sundays. First, I had to get dressed up, complete...

Webinars Are The Bomb

by Pat Marcello | Oct 14, 2010 | Communication | 0 Comments

For a long, long time teleseminars were tops. I mean, they're still pretty good and they work like gangbusters if you set them up right, but I really do prefer webinars these days. I mean, I hate it when I have to just listen to something and the only way that I can...

Blog Comment Spam

by Pat Marcello | Oct 12, 2010 | Blogging | 0 Comments

Grr... Don't you hate that? I mean, if you have Akismet installed, you're probably good to go, but some of those spammy-assed pos ts still get through. I've seen my share with all the blogs I've moderated and had over the years. I actually started blogging soon after...

 Verified  The Tragic Secret of Cyrus Crowe: A Cassie Slade Mystery | Pre-teen fears
I read this book before giving it to my grand-daughter.  I was surprised that it held my interest until the end.  The book tells the tale of a pre-teen girl experiencing natural fears of unknown sounds and events when home alone. She becomes physically affected by her fears. Her best friend is understanding but thinks it's all imagination until she shares in some of the events and they find themselves in a true mystery.My grand-daughter then read the book and liked it very much. She said that after telling one of her friends about it, the friend asked to borrow it.  Her answer was, "Nope, I don't want to lose it. I think I'll read it again."

 Verified  Gloria Steinem: A Biography (Greenwood Biographies) | A life well told
Written in a clear and engaging style, Patricia Marcello's biography of Gloria Steinem is a fascinating account of perhaps America's most influential, and certainly the most eloquent, feminist. Steinem is widely known as the founder of Ms. magazine and a women's rights activist, but few readers know much about her personal life. Marcello gives us a powerful insight into this remarkable and intriguing woman by a careful examination of the family and forces that shaped her. Though written primarily for a young adult audience, Marcello doesn't talk down to them. A book for every student's library.  R. A. Deckert, Bellingham WA

 Verified  Jerry Garcia (Little Books) by Ariel (1999-05-03) | A nice quick read to put on your desk,
When I got this book in the mail I opened the package and knew why it was not real expensive.  It is about the size of a cassete tape box and is a well-made hardback with a dustcover.  It is a nice quick colorful tribute that celebrates Jerry Garcia.  Something that any Garcia fan would really like.  It is actually quite a bargain now that I think about it.
