Unless you’ve been living in a media-free zone, stories of celebrities spinning out of control have become part of our daily conversation—a phenomenon that may lead to a serious case of compassion fatigue. But imagine a scenario in which a star’s glamorous life is derailed not by a descent into drug (more…)

Here’s the thing I like about Arthur Wooten’s work (Leftovers, Birthday Pie, Wise Bear William): You forget you are holding a book. Sounds odd, I know, as I am an avid reader, a writer and lover of turning actual paper pages. However… when you are so absorbed in the story, you forget (more…)

The ineffectiveness of the US Congress has been very apparent the past several years. They seem to be more worried about taking down incumbent presidents, thrashing high-ranking cabinet members on their way out, and doing away with Obama-care at any cost.

Review - DIZZY - Jodi Hanson - Chapters And Chat, Canada

I give “DIZZY: A Fictional Memoir” a 5 star rating. The book is a great read that will appeal to a wide audience.

Fingers crossed, we should all still be around after the Mayan Calendar fades to black on Dec. 21. Still, it wouldn't hurt to have a few good books nearby -- you know, just in case. So, whether you're nesting this week, preparing for the worst or happily venturing forth to create a stellar 2013 in your (more…)

Theater Creates Memories

The last musical I ever did before I moved away from Texas 25 years ago was Annie. I played Bert Healy and had a great time doing it before heading to NYC to test my fate with other roles. And now, here it is back on Broadway again this year. People have (more…)

I was first introduced to Arthur Wooten’s writing when I read his novel Leftovers (my review) and loved it. He writes with humour and insight that captures your attention and doesn’t let go. His newest novel Dizzy is no different except that this novel hits much closer to his heart. It is (more…)

There are times when artists cross over onto different artistic paths. Actors become authors. Dancers become directors. That has occurred with New York actor Arthur Wooten who began authoring novels seven years ago. With several under his belt, his latest DIZZY: A FICTIONAL MEMOIR shares stories of the New York acting world along with (more…)
