About the author

"Our best friend, our next-door neighbor and ourselves with just a touch of the outrageous." That’s how RT Book Review describes Joanna’s protagonist, Kiki Lowenstein. The truth is that’s a pretty good description of Joanna as well.
Joanna is a New York Times Bestselling, USA Today Bestselling, and Amazon Bestselling author as well as a woman prone to frequent bursts of crafting frenzy, leaving her with burns from her hot glue gun and paint on her clothes. And the mess? Let’s not even go there.
Otherwise, she’s a productive author with more than 80 written projects to her credit. Her non-fiction work includes how to books, a college textbook for public speakers, and books of personal essays (think Chicken Soup for the Soul).
Currently she writes four fiction series: The Kiki Lowenstein Mystery Series (Agatha Award Finalist, contemporary, St. Louis setting, crafting), the Cara Mia Delgatto Mystery Series (contemporary, Florida setting, DIY and recycling), the Jane Eyre Chronicles (Daphne du Maurier Award Winner, 1830s England, based on Charlotte Brontë’s classic), and the Sherlock Holmes Fantasy Thrillers (late 1800s, based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s books).
A former TV talk show host, college teacher, and public relations specialist, Joanna was one of the early Chicken Soup for the Soul contributors. She won a Silver Anvil for her work on the original FarmAid concert to benefit farmers.
In her ongoing quest never to see snow again, Joanna lives with her husband and their Havanese puppy, Jax, on an island off the coast of Florida. You can email her at jcslan@joannaslan.com or visit her website at http://www.JoannaSlan.com

-I thought Mrs Slan was a real diplomat when came the time to help those with personal problems - not the problem itself but the pictures they still held on to. When you have a bad ex (boss or colleague) but you still want those pictures from a party at work.
-She's also realistic (stay a victim or move on).
-At one point she talks about journaling losses: our parents, grandparents, friends, etc. I have a Memorial Album. I designed special pockets on the front/back of each page for bulletins, newspaper clippings, pictures, etc. I created the album because I want to remember those I knew and cherished; I want to be able to look through my album and see them again. Most people would recycle the bulletins and throw them in a drawer and forget about them.
-The author has lists upon lists for any subject you can think about, even writer's block, and the fun is that you can mix and match all those lists. I love making lists!
-Another idea is to grade your vacation or places you go. One place we went every year was Carabram. About 40 places across town featured different countries, all done during a weekend. You had food and clothing to buy, some art, some sort of dancing going on; that was really fun. We used a point system for each place we visited (about a dozen), and I would send the results to the organizers.
-I really liked the idea of looking at the pictures via a magnifying glass. I inherited one from my dad, so I will try this.
-If you don't know what to say about your pictures, or journaling your day, or even preparing a pep talk of some sort, use her book as I'm sure you will find inspiration.
-My star off is only because the book would be better off in print, especially for the examples, which I couldn't see, but also because it's easier to write down notes in a notebook than on a Kindle and refer to them afterwards.
