60 words

Lovers, Dreamers, & Thieves is about the warm, rowdy, lovable, and sometimes criminal characters of the author’s early life, including a grandfather who staged fake Polish weddings, a great-grandmother who was a blacksmith, and a cousin who collects nun dolls. But also, a father taken away in handcuffs, a mother in love with a priest, an uncle in the Mafia.

418 words

In this touching yet wickedly funny memoir, Marcia Cebulska gives you a peek behind the curtain to see what life was like in the family bakery that adjoined her childhood home. You will meet the warm, rowdy, lovable, and sometimes criminal characters of her life: a grandfather who stages fake Polish weddings; a parakeet that rides on the head of the pet dog; a cousin who collects nun dolls. But also: a father taken away in handcuffs; a mother in love with a priest; an uncle in the mob.

         

Being a playwright and novelist, Cebulska is a superb storyteller who, in short, captivating vignettes, portrays her memories as individual, evocative, beautifully told worlds in themselves. Woven together, these stories tell a larger tale, one of desire and struggle, passion and defeat, dancing and joy. Reading LOVERS, DREAMERS, & THIEVES is a stimulating and enriching walk in another time, another life.

Book Description & Images for  - Watching Men Dance

Images May Be Used For Media Promotion

46 Words

Funny, sexy, and emotionally impactful, Watching Men Dance is a celebration of difference, the story of a magical attraction, a collision of cultures, and an enduring love between a budding photographer with a huge appetite for life and a Makah Indian dancing on a city street.

153 Words

She is a wanderer; he will not fly. She is a city girl; he prefers a bison ranch. She grew up in her father’s Greek restaurant; he dances at powwows. Ava and Jesse travel life together in a turquoise pickup truck, feasting along the way. They settle, raise children, cheat, gamble, and fight with great gusto. When Ava leaves to travel around Greece like a female Odysseus, their bond is tested.

Watching Men Dance is a feast for the senses, a celebration of cultural diversity, and a compelling read, at once both humorous and moving. Ava, the captivating main character, embodies an engaging zest for life as she struggles between her pull to adventure and her need for home and family. Jesse, the Native dancer she falls in love with, challenges her beliefs and commitments. Watching Men Dance is the story of a marriage: simple and complex, lonely and overcrowded, exasperating and fulfilling.

“Cover up your screens! Tell your phone to take a hike! Get ready to journal your way to more joy, creativity, and healing than you can begin to imagine.”

Harriet Lerner, Ph.D.

Author of The Dance of Anger and Why Won’t You Apologize?

"Marcia Cebulska's Skywriting is full of exercises that celebrate making sense, playing joyfully, finding the 'dance in the shuffle' and 'the tune in the noise.' Skywriting tells us that our own voices, in writing, often speak our deepest truths."

Thomas Fox Averill

O. Henry Award winner and author of rode, and Found Documents from the Life of Nell Johnson Doerr.

“Marcia Cebulska's Skywriting journal is the perfect jumping-off point for anyone interested in fun and insightful guided self-discovery. Where the typical prompt-journal author is an invisible, omniscient narrator leaving the reader/writer to complete this journey alone, Marcia accompanies us every step of the way. In a startlingly authentic voice, she relates fascinating and deeply personal stories, which gives us permission to be authentic and honest in our own writing. With thought-provoking, challenging, and playful prompts and questions, she compels us to dig deep and hold nothing back, because she holds nothing back. A satisfying and inspirational journal I enthusiastically recommend to writers and non-writers alike.”
