Lonely Jeremy stays in one place so that even as he feels lost, he has situated himself to be found.

Devastated Elizabeth leaves New York City and the pain of her break-up so she can find herself, grow in understanding, and heal by accepting and then letting go of her loss.

Through the interplay of the yin and yang of beingness, a greater love grows between the two main characters .

(And you don't want to miss the kiss, one of the most passionate I've seen on film!)

I don’t come across many good fathers in film, so it was
refreshing to watch both The Boys Are Back and Fat Kid Rules the World. 

The Boys Are Back stars Clive Owens playing Joe Warr, a
father who deserted his first son with his second marriage and subsequent move to Australia. 

Several years later, his second wife dies from cancer leaving Joe to figure out how to juggle dealing with grief, his job, and romance while raising his six-year-old son.  

He decides on a revolutionary approach—a no rule, no chore household that allows chaos to reign. And then his teenage, dutiful, troubled first son arrives from England on his doorstep.

How will Joe confront the issues from his past and find a way to
bring his fragmented family together?

Fat Kid Rules the World takes place in Seattle, WA. The mother has died a few years earlier and the father (played by Billy Campbell) and his two teenage sons cope with her death in varying ways.  

Troy, the older son, retreats into a world of video games and gluttony—becoming obese and increasingly withdrawn.  Then charismatic drug-addicted, punk-rocker, high-school dropout, Marcus enters their lives and draws Troy into his orbit.  

How does this family avoid disaster and learn to embrace life
again?

And then as part of this same process there is the marketing of the book—before, during, and after it’s published.  Like so many authors, I want to use my precious time and energy for writing my books and stories—and yet marketing is something that must be done.  It's part of the whole package of being an author in today’s world of traditional, indie, and hybrid publishing.

As I continue down the road of getting my book, Rumble Tumble Joy: A Journey for Healing, Inspiration, and Wholeness, ready to go out into the wider world, I appreciate D’vorah Lansky and all the folks that joined her to help us authors be more successful in marketing our books. 

D’vorah’s recent 30-Day Book Marketing Challenge & Blog Hop was a wonderful way to learn!  The informative daily emails with important information broken down into small chunks that one could choose to read that day or later on was a great way to get me thinking and implementing new things without having an information overload meltdown!

I recently implemented Sharon Williams' LinkedIn tip and now my soon to be published book, Rumble Tumble Joy; some of my published stories; as well as an anthology I’m included in are highlighted on Linkedin.  Easy to do?  YES!  To see how I’ve implemented Sharon’s tip, click here.  (Scroll down until you see "Kathryn White's Publications")
