Ebook of the Week: Susan Wingate
By
This week’s GoodEReader.com Ebook of the Week, recently named the 2011 Forward National Literature Award winner for Drama, is Drowning by Susan Wingate. She is also the author of the bestselling Bobby’s Diner (2010 International Book Awards finalist) series.
“Drowning is a story about mothers and daughters and those who have loved them,” says the author of this title. “It’s a great read for women who have tumultuous relationships with their own mothers or daughters, but it’s a good read for anyone who’s ever loved those people who don’t get along. The problems usually start after adolescence, but it takes somebody growing up to heal the relationship.”
Wingate co-hosts a weekly program at BlogTalkRadio with fellow Ebook of the Week author Joshua Graham entitled Dialogue: Between the Lines, a program which focuses on writing and the publishing industry. Wingate’s other works are for sale on Kindle and Nook, but she has made her recent title, Drowning, available for free by clicking HERE and entering the following code at checkout: FY25Q
Mercy Pilkington is a young-adult author and a teacher in a correctional facility. She does not have a single textbook in her classroom. With the top-of-the-line technology at her disposal and the low reading ability of many of her students, there’s no need for standard paper texts. Instead she relies on e-readers, iPads, desktop PCs, Polycom video conferencing equipment for virtual field trips, live streaming for science demonstrations, and text-to-speech read-aloud software to teach English and science. Within the next ten years, public school classrooms across the country are going to look a lot more like Mercy’s classroom because the educational possibilities with these kinds of technologies are limitless.
