Acetylene Torch Songs provides that spark for memoirists and
essayists seeking mentor-based instruction and inspiration. Drawing
on twenty-five years of teaching and mentoring writers, Sue William
Silverman stresses practice over theory. She encourages craftiness
as well as craft and urges writers to embark on emotional quests in
pursuit of their art. Acetylene Torch Songs uniquely illustrates
how the writer’s imaginative spirit comes alive on the page
through metaphor, literary masks, sensory memories, voice,
obsessions, and more. This holistic approach to writing emphasizes
how the creative process brings together the heart, mind, and
senses to illuminate the human condition through language.
Featuring a personal essay in each chapter, Silverman uses her own
work to model a specific concept or approach, demonstrating how
obsessions, secrets, and memories can burn on the page. Through
guided prompts, worksheets, checklists, publishing advice, personal
essays, and strategies, Silverman encourages writers to find the
confidence and courage to write stories that reach beyond the page
through their intimacy, social engagement, and honesty.
During the course of a walk, a young boy identifies animals of different colors.

Gold Winner for Autobiography & Memoir in the Foreword INDIES
Many are haunted and obsessed by their own eventual deaths, but
perhaps no one as much as Sue William Silverman. This thematically
linked collection of essays charts Silverman's attempt to confront
her fears of that ultimate unknown. Her dread was fomented in part
by a sexual assault, hidden for years, that led to an awareness
that death and sex are in some ways inextricable, an everyday
reality many women know too well. Through gallows humor, vivid
realism, and fantastical speculation, How to Survive Death and
Other Inconveniences explores this fear of death and the author's
desire to survive it. From cruising New Jersey's industry-blighted
landscape in a gold Plymouth to visiting the emergency room for
maladies both real and imagined to suffering the stifling
strictness of an intractable piano teacher, Silverman guards her
memories for the same reason she resurrects archaic words-to use as
talismans to ward off the inevitable. Ultimately, Silverman knows
there is no way to survive death physically. Still, through
language, commemoration, and metaphor, she searches for a sliver of
transcendent immortality.
Three hundred nautical miles from shore, I'm cold and sick and
afraid. I pray for reprieve. I long for solid ground. And I can't
help but ask myself, What the hell was I thinking? When Sue
Williams set sail for the North Atlantic, it wasn't a mid-life
crisis. She had no affinity for the sea. And she didn't have an
adventure-seeking bone in her body. In the wake of a perfect storm
of personal events, it suddenly became clear: her sons were adults
now; they needed freedom to figure things out for themselves; she
had to get out of their way. And it was now or never for her
husband, David, to realize his dream to cross an ocean. So she'd go
too. Ready to Come About is the story of a mother's improbable
adventure on the high seas and her profound journey within, through
which she grew to believe that there is no gift more precious than
the liberty to chart one's own course, and that risk is a good
thing ... sometimes, at least.
A counting story in which a boy visits his farmyard friends, from one brown foal to six yellow puppies.

Silverman, a one-woman cultural mash-up, on her exploration of
identity among the mishmash of American idols and ideals that
confuse most of us--or should. Pat Boone is our first stop. Now a
Tea Party darling, Boone once shone as a squeaky-clean pop music
icon of normality, an antidote for Silverman's own confusing and
dangerous home, where being a Jew in a Christian school wasn't
easy, and being the daughter of the Anti-Boone was unspeakable. And
yet somehow Silverman found her way, a "gefilte fish swimming
upstream," and found her voice, which in this searching, bracing,
hilarious, and moving book tries to make sense of that most
troubling American condition: belonging, but to what?
Picking apricots on a kibbutz, tramping cross-country in a loathed
Volkswagen camper, appearing in a made-for-television version of
her own life: Silverman is a bobby-soxer, a baby boomer, a hippy, a
lefty, and a rebel with something to say to those of us--most of
us--still wondering what to make of ourselves.
When three bombs tore out the heart of Bali and destroyed so many
Australian lives in 2002, burns surgeon Professor Fiona Wood and
her team were there to help. A pioneer in the field of burns and
reconstructive surgery, Fiona made world headlines with the use of
her groundbreaking invention of 'spray-on skin' to help minimise
her patients' terrible scarring. Fiona was later made Australian of
the Year, voted Australia's Most Trusted Person for an
unprecedented six years running in the annual Reader's Digest poll
and acclaimed as a 'National Living Treasure'. This is the story of
her extraordinary life. Against all the odds, Fiona, the daughter
of a fifth-generation coalminer in the north of England, became one
of Australia's most innovative, respected and dedicated surgeons
and researchers. She talks candidly of the moving valour of her
burns patients, and the heartbreak, triumph, tears and
controversies that have stalked her stellar career. Remarkably, she
has achieved all of this while raising six children. In Under Her
Skin, Sue Williams, a bestselling author and award-winning
journalist who has written a number of biographies - most notably
about Father Chris Riley, Father Bob Maguire and Dr Catherine
Hamlin - presents a searingly honest, no-holds-barred account of
all aspects of Fiona Wood's remarkable life.
"Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You" destroys our
complacency about who among us can commit unspeakable atrocities,
who is subjected to them, and who can stop them. From age four to
eighteen, Sue William Silverman was repeatedly sexually abused by
her father, an influential government official and successful
banker. Through her eyes, we see an outwardly normal family built
on a foundation of horrifying secrets that long went unreported,
undetected, and unconfessed.
A heartbreaking, redemptive memoir of raw power, Daughter of the
River Country is the story of an extraordinary journey from a
childhood as one of Australia's Stolen Generation to Aboriginal
Elder Born in rural Australia in the 1940s, baby Dianne is
immediately taken from her parents and placed with a white family.
Raised in an era of widespread racism, she grows up believing her
Irish adoptive mother is her birth mother. When her adoptive mother
tragically dies and she is abandoned by her adoptive father, Dianne
is raped, sent to the brutal Parramatta Girls Home and forced to
marry her rapist in order to keep her baby. After suffering years
of domestic abuse, but refusing to let her spirit be broken, Dianne
finally discovers she is a Yorta Yorta woman, a daughter of the
river country, and is reunited with her birth mother. She learns
that her great-grandfather was a famous Aboriginal activist and
from here she becomes a powerful leader in her own right, vowing to
help others in any way she can. Daughter of the River Country
explores for the first time the devastation caused to Australia's
Aboriginal Stolen Generation, who were forcibly placed with white
families as part of a government assimilation programme. 'A
compelling memoir about the power of love and staying the course.'

Representatives
