Teddy Rose Book Reviews Plus More


Thanks to the author, Elisabeth Foley I am giving away one ebook copy of The Ranch Next Door and Other Stories.


Book Description:

Suspense, humor and a touch of romance await in seven short stories of the American West. In the title story, “The Ranch Next Door,” a cattleman’s young son dreads breaking the news to his family that he has fallen in love with the daughter of a neighboring sheep rancher despite an ancient feud between the two families. In “Cross My Heart,” a boy is torn between betraying his conscience or a fugitive friend, and in “Delayed Deposit,” five people are taken hostage during a bank robbery that turns into a tense standoff. The collection also includes the award-winning “Disturbing the Peace,” honorable mention in the 2010 Rope and Wire short story competition. These seven stories total approximately 40,330 words or 161 book pages.

About Elisabeth Foley:

Elisabeth Grace Foley is a 21-year-old author who is really too young to have done anything interesting enough to put into an author bio. She is busy trying to do something about that. An avid reader and lifelong history buff, she writes historical fiction, particularly Westerns. Her first published story “Disturbing The Peace” was an honorable mention in the first annual Rope & Wire Western short story competition, and is now collected with six others that are appearing for the first time in her debut short story collection, The Ranch Next Door and Other Stories. She lives with her family and a large stack of writer’s notebooks in the northeastern U.S.

Giveaway: And So It Goes by Charles Shields

Posted by Teddyrose@1 on November 8, 2011
Posted in My Past Giveaways  | 51 Comments

Thanks to Christine Choe of Henry Holt & Company, I am giving away two copies of And So It Goes.

Book Description:

The first authoritative biography of Kurt Vonnegut Jr., a writer who changed the conversation of American literature.
In 2006, Charles Shields reached out to Kurt Vonnegut in a letter, asking for his endorsement for a planned biography. The first response was no (“A most respectful demurring by me for the excellent writer Charles J. Shields, who offered to be my biographer”). Unwilling to take no for an answer, propelled by a passion for his subject, and already deep into his research, Shields wrote again and this time, to his delight, the answer came back: “O.K.” For the next year—a year that ended up being Vonnegut’s last—Shields had access to Vonnegut and his letters.

Read about the life of the iconic American writer of definitive works such as Slaughterhouse-Five and Cat’s Cradle in And So It Goes by Charles J. Shields.

About Charles Shields:

I’m a biographer of post-World War II American authors, whose first biography for adults was Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee. My latest book is And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut, A Life, slated for release from Henry Holt & Co. in November.


I’ve created a blog,”Writing Kurt Vonnegut” which is about the art and craft of biography, based on my experiences. I’m treating it as a kind of journal, and a new entry will appear every Saturday.

A biographer is a literary detective, a Columbo who’s always saying, “Now let me get this straight” or starting a lot of sentences in his mind with “In other words….”

You’ll find out what it’s like trying to research and tell, for the first time, the life of one of the most popular, controversial, and influential novelists of the 20th century by Googling “Writing Kurt Vonnegut.”

Hope you’ll give it a look!
