Book Giveaway!

“So, You Think You Know the Jersey Shore” by Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta

BOOK GIVEAWAY! USA ONLY!

Happy National Give Something Away Day!
Win one of my three books!
Just comment which one you’d like to read and I’ll put your names in a hat and pick a winner at the end of the day, around 5 p.m. EST.

If you win, I’ll ask for your email address so I can get your mailing address.
Totally free, all postage paid! USA ONLY!
(This contest is on Facebook and WordPress, so there will be two winners.)

Here’s the books to choose from:

1. “I Don’t Want to Be Like You” — My memoir growing up in the 1970s and dealing with bullies, and how they didn’t break me. Inspirational and honest.

2. “The Gypsy Smiled” — About a young woman trying to make it in the music business. The book was inspired by Lou Christie’s song “The Gypsy Cried.” Lots of kitschy fun — Elvis tribute artists, all-girl bands inspired by Tom Jones. Fun and silly.

3. “So, You Think You Know the Jersey Shore?” — A reference guide I put together about all the nooks and crannies of The Jersey Shore. What’s cool is that I took some of the photos for the book.

#NemonteNenquimo, #Waorani, Protecting the #AmazonRainforest

By Water for Life, via #CensoredNews, Sept. 21, 2024

"Our friend Nemonte Nenquimo, a leader of the Waorani people of #Ecuador, telling stories from her memoir, 'We Will Be Jaguars.' The book, written with her husband Mitch Anderson, about the fight to protect the Amazon rainforest, is a must read. The conversation was masterfully guided by actor, author, teacher Peter Coyote.

"Nemonte and Mitch have more readings coming up in San Francisco and Corte Madera later this week. New York City is next week!"

From Meet Nemonte Nenquimo:

"Nemonte Nenquimo led an indigenous campaign and legal action that resulted in a court ruling protecting 500,000 acres of Amazonian rainforest and Waorani territory from oil extraction. Nenquimo’s leadership and the lawsuit set a legal precedent for indigenous rights in Ecuador, and other tribes are following in her footsteps to protect additional tracts of rainforest from oil extraction. Guardians of the Amazon Rainforest

Background from the publisher:

"Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest—one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s—Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing.

"She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. At age fourteen, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city.

"Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened.

"Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in #ClimateChange activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against #BigOil, protecting over a half million acres of primary #rainforest. Her message is as sharp as a spear—honed by her experiences battling #loggers, #miners, #OilCompanies and #missionaries.

"In We Will Be Jaguars, she partners with her husband, Mitch Anderson, founder of #AmazonFrontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of #IndigenousPeoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh, and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself."
