ANANDA NAHU
Her name is Ananda Nahu and her work is an explosion of color. Ananda Nahu is a Brazilian artist born in Juazeiro, a quiet city in the interior of Bahia. She grew up in Petrolina, an arid city in Pernanbuco state, separated from Juazeiro by the Sao Francisco river. This land is plagued by poverty; legacy of an unjust and racist system. She often portrays those who have been marginalized by society in her work.
Walk the streets of the city and you’ll see her work on the walls of decaying buildings, rusty train cars or underpasses. She brings beauty to forgotten places and joy to those who gaze upon her work.

The Top Ten Best Werewolf Novels
Taken from werewolfs.com
1. Werewolves can be found in nearly all literature dating back even as far as about 60 AD, when they were mentioned briefly in The Satyricon by Petronius. For anyone with a serious interest in werewolves, this may be a good book to read, though it doesn’t contain vast amounts of werewolves.
2. What is perhaps the first novel entirely about our present-day interpretation of werewolves is the 1857 novel of Dumans, The Wolf-Leader, making it a must-read for werewolf fans.
3. Contemporary works exist in great abundance about the fantasy creature, including the famous Terry Pratchett series, Discworld, that features many werewolves.
4. While it refers to them as Wolves, a novel co-written by Stephen King called The Talisman is about werewolves, as is another novel by King entitled Cycle of the Werewolf, which is illustrated.
5. Pat Murhpy’s Nadya – The Wolf Chronicles mixes fantasy with historical fiction, detailing a family of werewolves that moves to America in the nineteenth century.
6. Another popular historical fiction work dealing with werewolves is Alice Borchardt’s The Silver wolf, which shows them in Ancient Rome.
7. Jim Butcher’s well-known series, The Dresden Files, features two books (book two and four) that prominently feature werewolves.
8. If you’re looking for an alternate view of werewolves, try Skyla Dawn Cameron’s River, which shows wolves transforming into humans.
9. And what list of werewolf novels would be complete without Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban?
10. Finally, Stephenie Meyer’s recent Twilight series features a wide array of fantasy creatures, including werewolves.
I’m sure Were Wolves the Mix Tape will find its way to this list

When Fresh Dawgs Bark you Listen
Mascot
I was contact by G -Dawg from the blog Fresh Dawgs Book Blog requesting an interview (How could I say no?)
Shortly after I receive an email from the Sally Kruger “the Reading Junky.” “The Reading Junky” is one of the best blogs on Young Adult fiction on the internets
She wrote
Hey!
I haven’t talked with you for quite some time. I wanted to thank you for helping one of my students. After teaching 8th grade for 32 years, I suddenly found myself also teaching 9th grade. I came up with the idea of starting a classroom blog to post book reviews, recommendations, and author interviews. http://freshdawgs.blogspot.com
The student who read your book NIGHT BITERS was really taken by it. After seeing the success several other students had contacting and interviewing authors, he wanted to give it a try. You truly made his day, maybe even his entire year. Today he was so excited as he told the other students he had interviewed you by email and you, a famous person, had actually answered his questions.
Thanks so much! We’ll be getting the interview posted in the next few days, and I’ll send you a link so you can see it.

And Kudos to the Reading Junky
| According to 2 Peter 2 in the King James Bible |
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction
Pat Robertson there is nothing true about you, and these 2 videos show you for the racist you are
Few individuals impact the day-to-day management of organizations and institutions as Dennis Kimbro. A tireless educator, author, and B-school professor, Dr. Kimbro is universally characterized as one of the most insightful and scholarly writers in the field today.
As a lecturer and researcher in the field of management, entrepreneurship and human potential, he encourages his readers to look within to extract the keys that underlie all accomplishment. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Oklahoma, and a doctorate from Northwestern University where he studied wealth and poverty among underdeveloped countries. Despite this being a old tape Kimbro’s message is still relevant today
