Family Matters …
NEPOTISM (nepʹɘ tizʹɘm), do you know it derives from the French
for nephew? Over the centuries, népotisme
eventually scaled to include, n. – favoritism
shown to relatives, esp. in appointment to desirable positions. [WW #104]

Pretty self-explanatory. And for my purpose, a
thin ruse to offer some blatant nepotism … simply known as shameless
self-promotion.
Today, I’d like to bring your attention to
Penchant for Penning’s brother and sister sites, BlastFromYourPast.net and 39AndHoldingClub.com, respectively.
I promise this won’t take long …
We’ve had excitement in the PFP camp as we
launched another book this week, in the Blast
from Your Past! series. Book 2 – Rock & Roll Radio DJs: The Swinging Sixties is finally published. In
eBook format initially, it will publish in print format in April.
Pure nostalgia, The Swinging Sixties will alternately tug at your heartstrings, tickle
your funny bone, and ultimately get your toes tapping to the music that defined
Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll.
More importantly, it peeks behind the mic of the
men and women who brought you the best and the worst music of the decade. Available in eBook format; print
edition to follow in April.
Book 1 – Rock & Roll Radio DJs: The First Five Years 1954-1959 on Amazon in eBook and print formats; and signed print copies on the BFYP site.
Have some fun sauntering down Memory Lane! Buy
the eBook edition and offer your review (hopefully 5-star) and nostalgic notes
on Amazon,
or send your comments directly to me. Selected remarks will appear in the print book!
And at 39
and Holding Club today, we’re celebrating (which we do often) “As Young as You Feel Day”! 39AHC adopted this day as its signature holiday, so everyone
“of a certain age” can ignore the young’uns and simply celebrate the wit and
wisdom of being young at heart. Join us! Make your
next birthday an UN-birthday with a 39
and Holding Club membership card!
Word Challenge: NEPOTISM. I’ve just hit you with a nepo-bomb … kinda like
photo-bombing via blog. Think about that as you fit nepotism into your week
of related writings.
Write first for
yourself … only then can you write for others. (L.Rochelle)
