Growing old is a gift - let\'s relate to and embrace it.

"Even though I\'m not a fan of poetry, I found Jane Seskin\'s poems to be a delight.  They hit home."

-Jane Brody, Personal Health columnist, NYTimes

"Candid, funny, and best of all inspiring, the poems in Jane Seskin\'s Older Wiser Shorter throw open a window on aging. Suddenly a breeze of resilience sails through. I learned from Seskin\'s poems: they become like mentors for the strange adventure of late-life living. Kindness infuses them." 

-Molly Peacock, author of The Analyst

Jane Seskin writes with keen insight and eyes open to the inadvertent miracles in our everyday."

-Arthur Sze, Author of Compass Rose

The “New Rules of Thinking” and the Simple Secrets to Living a Rich, Joyous and Fulfilled Life

Author and motivational speaker Stuart K Robinson shares his “New Rules of Thinking” to examine the futility of trying to alter the system, your boss, your significant other or your life when the most powerful and painless way to effect change is to adjust your beliefs, your blueprint, your actions... yourself. Outlining the fundamental modes of thinking that will empower any person to overcome the boundaries that limit possibility, It All Begins With "I” frees the reader from the non-productive thoughts and behaviors that actually create obstacles. 

Also available in a Limited First Edition Hardcover

A “behind-the-scenes” look at Hollywood through the eyes and pens of 48 top screenwriters

Doing It For Money
The Agony and Ecstasy of Writing and Surviving in Hollywood

Ah, the life of a successful screenwriter…

Sitting in your Malibu beach house finishing the script that will bring in the next million dollar check… Doing lunch at The Ivy… Hollywood party-hopping where you’re the idol of stars, movie execs and paparazzi…

Yeah, right!

Not if you’re “Doing It for Money.”

In the 1960s, Price Stern Sloan published what was probably the first coloring book for adults as well as kids. Designs to Color was created by Betty Schaffner who believed that people of all ages had an innate imagination and artistic talent that conventional coloring books failed to spark and nurture. Her varied line drawings, sometimes abstract and sometimes recognizable - flowers, faces, animals - will lead any "color-er" into winding paths and jungles of form and into their own worlds of imagination.
