SUMMARY:Ex-Scientology Author Convention: Las Vegas
DESCRIPTION:What a marvelous idea! Hosted by Janis Gilham Grady—author of Commodore’s Messenger (Volume I: A Child Adrift in the Scientology Sea Organization and II: Riding Out the Storm with L. Ron Hubbard)\, about her years on the ship with Hubbard— this event brings together authors who were once Scientologists. Most of them held prestigious positions in the Church and yet found a way to leave. I’m honored to join them. Includes Bent Corydon\, who wrote Messiah or Madman: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard (a book that helped me stay determined to leave); John Duignan\, author of The Complex: An Insider Exposes the Covert World of the Church of Scientology; Jefferson Hawkins\, author of the very compelling Counterfeit Dreams; Marc Headley\, author of Blown For Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology; Nancy Many\, who—besides Bent Corydon—led the way with her horrifying memoir\, My Billion Year Contract: Memoir of a Former Scientologist; Jesse Prince\, author of The Expert Witness: My Life at the Top of Scientology; Kay Rowe\, author of Over the Edge- A Pawn in the Scientology Money Machine; and Chris Shelton: Scientology: A to Xenu: An Insider’s Guide to What Scientology is Really All About. \n \n

SUMMARY:Reading & Discussion: FAIR USE and FLUNK. START.
DESCRIPTION:Delighted to be asked by the Mammoth Lakes Library to talk about my play FAIR USE\, which addresses the “Was it plagiarism?” controversy surrounding Wallace Stegner’s use of the life\, memoirs\, and letters of 19th century writer/illustrator Mary Hallock Foote in creating his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel ANGLE OF REPOSE. A number of the audience will have just finished reading Stegner’s novel\, and there will no doubt be spirited discussion. I’ll also talk a bit and read from FLUNK. START. And\, as if further enticement is needed\, friend and organizer Debbie Boucher will read from her new novel\, THE AUNTIES. Book sales support the library. For more information: 760/934-4777.
