Happy Hello Dear Readers!

My, time does fly. This past month has brought several items to my writing desk.

For your fancy, I’ve added a few more poems on my AuthorsDen site at http://www.authorsden.com/rosemarieskaine. Enjoy.

I am awaiting my FGM page proofs from McFarland. I expect them any day.

I have begun writing on my next book, the female suicide bomber.

I am happy to announce that Dorrance Book Publishing, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has indicated an interest in one of Author’s Castle Publishing’s books. Author Gerald E. “Jerry” Howard who wrote, _The Art of Insuring People: Reflections and Observations_ received the happy phone call. For all of its books, Author’s Castle Publisher applies to the Library of Congress for a Control Number. This number means the book is placed on a list called, “Books in Print.” Most established publishers have access to this list. Congratulations Jerry! Author’s Castle Publisher is pleased to be a part of your success.

From a recent _United Nations Wire_ is the following news about women in Afghanistan:

“Profile in courage: Afghanistan's first woman governor

“In yet another sign that Afghanistan is making progress on women's rights since the fall of the Taliban regime, the country recently appointed its first female governor. The Guardian profiles Habiba Sarobi, a "mild-mannered mother" who so far has seen a warm reception, but faces a challenge in improving an area long seen as one of the world's worst for women. The Guardian (London) (4/26).”


Cheers!
