Author of End of Silence – Dorothy “Dot” Read joins Mary Rose and Annie

Posted on 12/17/2012 by kwparadio | Leave a comment

Author Dorothy “Dot” Read joined hosts Mary Rose and Annie on Whidbey AIR’s Isle of the Arts to share the story of how her book End the Silence came to be written, how she spends her time helping other writers through the Whidbey Island Writers Association, and to read a selection from her book.

End the Silence is the memoir of Ilse Evelijn Veere Smit, who was interned in a Japanese concentration camp for Dutch and Indo women and children, during World War II.

In 1945, Ilse, her 3 younger siblings and their mother lived in a vermin-infested bungalow with 35 other people at Camp Halmaheira on the island of Java. During their internment, Ilse’s mother and several other women in that squalid bungalow were arrested for a “crime”, forcing Ilse to be responsible for herself and her younger siblings. Surviving the camp, and eventually being freed at the end of WWII, Ilse found herself in the middle of a bloody Indonesian revolution, targeted for death.

Taking in excess of 5 yrs. to write End the Silence is a story of endurance, suffering and triumph.

A key volunteer with Whidbey Island Writers Association (WIWA) Dot also devotes time to the Altar Guild, the Banners and Paraments Committee and choir at her church.

During this interview Annie Zeller Horton will also be reading, from a WIWA submission.

You can find more information about Dot’s book End the Silence on her website or at Createspace.

Isle of the Arts – Rebroadcast of LAURIE McLEAN – Literary Agent

Posted on 02/20/2012 by kwparadio | 2 Comments

This requested rebroadcast of Whidbey Air’s Isle of the Arts with Mary Rose Anderson – covers e-publishing, the new age of the author being in charge of their own promotion, production and publishing of material books and e-books. We received so many requests for a rebroadcasting of this show – we thought Presidents Day was a good day to do it – in hopes many are NOT at work and are home to listen.

“To me it’s the best time to be an author”. Laurie McLean

LISTEN on this LINK show starts at 1:15pm PST. And will go on the KWPA website as a podcast March 1st.

Laurie McLean is an agent at Larsen Pomada Literary Agents in San Francisco. She represents adult genre fiction (romance, fantasy, science fiction, horror, westerns, mystery, suspense, thrillers, etc.) as well as children’s middle grade and young adult books.

For more than 20 years Laurie ran an eponymous public relations agency in California’s Silicon Valley. She is wise in the ways of marketing and publicity, negotiation, editing and a host of other business-critical areas. She is also a novelist herself, so she can empathize with the author’s journey to and through publication.
