PROBLEM: Good start to what promises to be a fun series . Wanda Nell Culpepper has got a lot on her hands:  she's a single mom with three kids and one grandkid who she works 2 jobs to support.  Her Mother in Law is a monster--and her ex has just shown up waving around a lot of cash.      When Wanda Nell finds her ex stabbed through the throat with a pink lawn flamingo, her troubles have just begun.  The deputy suspects her, dangerous folks are coming after her looking for something that the ex supposedly left with her.     "Flamingo Fatale" is a good read and an interesting cosy; however, I don't think that Evans hits her stride with her first book.  "Murder Over Easy" is much improved and the third in the series actually promises to be more interesting.

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: The Best Way to Greenlight your Project . In her book Web Thinking, successful Hollywood screenwriting consultant and author of numerous books on the entertainment industry, Dr. Linda Seger reveals the real secret to success in any job. She hits the nail on the head--it's about relationships. In my years as a performance improvement specialist to Fortune 100 corporations, 80% of success was not just showing up (like Woody Allen has said), nor is it technical competence and know-how (as our school systems wrongly assume), but rather the establishment of mutually beneficial relationships with our peers, our suppliers and our customers. People get jobs and lose them primarily because their egos are too big to help others succeed. Or as Seger puts it, we need to be "Connecting, Not Competing." Regardless, listen to the interviews with A-listers in any industry. More often it's not the project that creates the critical mass for a greenlight, but how much one person wants to work with another.     Linda's writing was very helpful in the writing of my own book on screenwriting published by Michael Wiese Productions: THE MORAL PREMISE: Harnessing Virtue and Vice for Box Office Success

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: The Real Lives of Children? . Controversial, yet remarkable look at how young children, primarily boys, resisted and re-made the conditions of their existence in early 20th century U.S. cities. His chronicle of the newsboys' strike is vital  history. The book is more controversial when discussing the actions of the  so-called 'child-savers,' one of whom actually included social activist  photographer Lewis Hine. He dismisses the action of these advocates as  puritanical and fundamentally ignorant of the real conditions of the  children's lives. He decides that children are neither powerless nor  defenseless, and this decision is, of course, a double-edged sword when  dealing with the very real abuses of child labor and child exploitation  that still pervade the U.S. and the globe
