"SHORTS (Fact & Fiction) blends both fictional and non-fictional accounts, inspired by real events and my own imagination; a collaboration between the left and right channels of my cerebral cortex. The fine line separating the factual from the fictional is akin to scanning the landscape from the tip of my nose to infinity through a pair of progressive eyeglass lenses.""In my short stories, as in my recent novel, Circles of Confusion, it is my goal to allow you ... the reader ... some ambiguity as to the outcomes, so we can collaborate as a team; a dialogue of sorts ... an intimate conversation that challenges you to question before arriving at a decision. Is that not the way life works?""Some of these stories are humorous, others are dark. Some start as humorous but become dark, and vice versa. That too, is life."A collection of 25 short stories and two poems culled from the author's experiences, observations, and imagination.Some are thematically connected: LESSONS LEARNED is a series of stories that follow the maturing of a boy as he deals with the inner and outer conflicts of aging.TALES FROM QUAGMIRE TOWNSHIP observe the citizens of a small Ontario community and its relationship with each other and the tourists who arrive during the summer months.NICARAGUA recalls selected moments from the author's own experiences while working as a photojournalist in the Central American nation during the 1980s.MEMORY TRAIN and LUNCH both offer insights into the subject of age-related dementia.Other stories stand alone: SELF-INTOLERANCE observes the awareness of someone who discovers hatred for his own actions.THE NON-INVASIVE PATHOLOGIST offers a high tech alternative to the solving of crimes.OF BODY & SOUL follows the passions of two jazz musicians in their later years.BECOMING ERNEST reflects upon a writer's blank page dilemma and an epiphany.KARMA ON RUE GOYER; WHY DID WE LIVE AT GRANDAD'S; and SOMEBODY TOLD ME, are non-fictional recollections from the author's own memory bank.

Building Communities, Not Audiences: The Future of the Arts in the U.S, written and edited by Doug Borwick, holds that established arts organizations, for practical and moral reasons, need to be more deeply connected to their communities. It serves as an essential primer for any member of the arts community-artist, administrator, board member, patron, or friend-who is interested in the future of the arts in the U.S. It also provides new ways of looking at the arts as a powerful force for building better communities and improving lives. For the companion "how to" book, see Engage Now A Guide to Making the Arts Indispensable]It is from community that the arts developed and it is in serving communities that the arts will thrive . . . Communities do not exist to serve the arts; the arts exist to serve communities.Building Communities, Not Audiences identifies the factors that serve to isolate established arts organizations from their communities, points out the trends that loom as imminent threats to the long-term viability of the artistic status quo, and presents principles and mechanisms whereby arts organizations can significantly extend their reach into the community, supporting enhanced sustainability. Included are case studies and examples of successful community engagement work being conducted by arts organizations from around the U.S.Twenty-three contributors, representing chamber music, dance, museums, opera, orchestras, and theatre as well as an array of arts administration perspectives provide breadth of coverage.The economic, social, and political environments out of which the infrastructure for Western 'high arts' grew have changed. Today's major arts institutions, products of that legacy, no longer benefit from relatively inexpensive labor, a nominally homogeneous culture, or a polity openly managed by an elite class. Expenses are rising precipitously and competition for major donors is increasing; as a result, the survival of established arts organizations hinges on their ability to engage effectively with a far broader segment of the population than has been true to date.From the Foreword by Rocco Landesman, Chairman, National Endowment for the Arts: I think the days of the arts in ivory towers are behind us; the very best arts organizations are . . . connecting communities with artists . . . . Not only can the arts build communities, I think we must.From the Foreword by Robert L. Lynch, President & CEO, Americans for the Arts: Doug Borwick calls for substantive rather than superficial efforts, authentic and systemic changes. . . . The challenge is not whether to build communities or audiences but how to build communities and audiences together.
Arts organizations cannot long survive without earning impassioned support from the communities they serve.Communities cannot reach their full potential without the benefits the arts can provide.For some, the arts as indispensable is a preposterous idea, yet nearly every stakeholder in the industry believes the arts' value to be unquestionable. That gap accounts for most of the challenges arts organizations face. As long as the arts are seen as an amenity (at best), they will struggle in a world that only has time for that which is necessary. "Mere" relevance will not suffice. To compete in the marketplace of public value the required standard is indispensability. Engage Now is a "how to" manual for the arts organization seeking to become invaluable. For the companion book, see Building Communities, Not Audiences: The Future of the Arts in the United States]Engage Now is a "how to" manual for the arts organization seeking to become invaluable. ItPresents basic principles and practices of effective community engagement, Provides guidance for achieving systemic focus on engagement, andOutlines a process for becoming a universally recognized community asset.This book is intended for anyone with a vested interest in the arts. Since the arts are essential for healthy individuals and healthy communities, it is for everyone. However, far too few people are aware of their "vested interest." That makes Engage Now important for us all.TABLE OF CONTENTSPart I: The Mission of Arts OrganizationsChapter One: Systemic Challenges and Internal IssuesChapter Two: What Is the Arts Business?Chapter Three: The Way Forward: New Understanding of MissionPart II: A Community Engagement PrimerChapter Four: Engagement EssentialsThe Practice of EngagementChapter Five: The Engagement Process: Principles and PracticeChapter Six: Engaged Arts: OrganizationsChapter Seven: Engaged Arts: Artists (Entrepreneurship)Chapter Eight: The Engagement Process: An Operational BlueprintConclusionA playbook for arts organizations to become as indispensable as the corner storeJamie Bennett, Executive Director, ArtPlace AmericaAn eloquent and persuasive voice in a global conversation about the power of the arts to transform our societySimon Brault, author, No Culture, No Future Director and CEO, Canada Council for the ArtsGreat advice about engaging more of the population, growing your organization and increasing opportunity for successful operations and artistic expression Janet Brown, President & CEO Grantmakers in the ArtsA distinctively valuable guide for how to integrate arts management and community developmentJonathan Katz, former CEO, National Assembly of State Arts AgenciesBorwick probes arts organizations to evaluate their relationship with their community and provides action steps to building a stronger, more sustainable connection with the people we] serveRobert Lynch, President & CEO, Americans for the ArtsA guiding light for nonprofit arts organizations seeking to be relevant, responsive, and indispensable to the communities we exist to benefitJosephine Ramirez, Arts Program Director, James Irvine FoundationBorwick leaves no question unasked, proving why he is the authority on community engagement workAlan Salzenstein, President, Association of Arts Administration Educators and Professor of Performing Arts Management/Arts Leadership, DePaul University
Jimmy Biffman's life has just cratered. His wife dumps him for Dr. Dwayne the periodontist, he's downsized out of a job, and he's living in a trailer in his best friend Erica's backyard. So, when Erica hatches a wild scheme to recapture Jimmy's lost youth, he's powerless to resist. RUNAWAYS is the journey of two 40-somethings looking for a life they're convinced has passed them by. With a na ve belief in what's possible-and a foolish misunderstanding of the risks-they end up completely out of their element and in way over their heads. The unsavory predators who suck them into their world know exactly what they're doing-unlike Erica and Jimmy, who, like two giddy high-schoolers cutting class, have no idea what they're in for. Their new lives won't turn out remotely as they've planned...
