The Almanac

You have finally finished your book— the one you’ve been laboring overfor more years than you can count

— and now you want to share it with theworld. How do you get your book acceptedby a publisher, marketed and on the tablesand shelves at Barnes and Noble – or onthe Amazon website?

To answer all these questions and more,author and publisher Craig Schenning willpresent a seminar for those who would liketo learn how to become published authors.The program will take place on Wednesday,Oct. 7 at 7 p.m. at the Potomac Library,10101 Glenolden Drive.

In 2006, Schenning retired from his ca-reer as an environmental chemist, workingas a subcontractor on numerous state andfederal government projects. While he wasworking, he became involved in travelingto auctions and buying and selling Ameri-can-made glassware for collectors. How-ever, as he became entrenched in the sub-ject, he needed to know the details — whatcompany made the glassware, when andwhere it was created, and how much was itworth? He realized that finding the infor-mation was extremely difficult. He also dis-covered that the majority of the glasswarethat he was purchasing came from the In-diana Glass Company which had closed itsdoors in 2001 after 100 years in the busi-ness. Over the years, the company had pro-duced all kinds of glassware — clearpressed, colored, depression glass, milkglass — as tastes changed, they were ableto change with the times. However, theycould not remain open because of discordwith the unions and management.

Schenning pulled his knowledge and re-

search together to write “ACentury of Indiana Glass”about the company, pub-lished by the Schiffler Pub-lishing Company in 2005.

In his dealings with hispublisher, he felt that thingscould be done differently.His experience led him toestablish Old Line Publish-ing, a traditional publishinghouse, as well as MapleCreek Media, a division thatis a rapidly growing artisanal publisher ofbooks and eBooks. Maple Creek Media fo-cuses primarily on self-publishing and pro-viding custom-designed promotional mate-rial.

One of Schenning’s primary objectives isto give one-on-one service, working directlywith authors to provide each author with atop quality print book, eBook, website orother publishable material. “Authors can callme anytime and I will advise them on edit-ing, illustrations, designing the cover, proof-

reading — answering anyand all their questions. Weare focused on creating,marketing, distributing andretailing high quality booksand eBooks and providingprofessional services suchas manuscript review andmarketing and editorial ser-vices.”

Schenning will be speak-ing on three primary waysto publish a book, best ways

to market it, and what’s hot (and what’s not)as far as book topics. He will share infor-mation on the best path for each author (tra-ditional or self-publishing) and the pros andcons.

“The world of publishing has changeddramatically. There are lots of opportuni-ties for new authors and a number of waysto market books. It’s an uphill battle to be-come a best-selling author — but you neverknow unless you try — and miracles dooccur,” he said.

Two-year-old Henry Skrivanek ofOlney is the poster child for the6th Annual Montgomery County5K VisionWalk. Henry is a smil-

ing, happy toddler with a mischievous grinwho loves Legos, blocks, cuddling, swingsand the donuts served at the event. Henryhas been blind since birth and was diag-nosed with Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis(LCA) before he was one-year-old. He is theinspiration for his team, “Henry StrikesBack” – a team that raised nearly $10,000this year.

“Watching myson navigate theworld as a blindtoddler is a dailystruggle, but wehave so muchhope, thanks to theexciting researchand clinical trialsunderway for reti-nal diseases, madepossible by theFoundation Fight-ing Blindness,”said “Henry StrikesBack” Team Cap-tain HeatherSkrivanek. “Rais-ing awareness and

funds for research through the VisionWalkis our way to help move the needle forward,so that one day my son Henry may not haveto live in darkness.”

People touched by vision loss, along withtheir families, friends and eye profession-

als gathered to fight blindness at the 6th

Annual Montgomery County 5K VisionWalkon Sunday, Sept. 27, at Rockville TownSquare. Through their generosity and de-termination, they raised more than$112,000 to support gene therapy, stem cell,and pharmaceutical-based research thatcould save and even restore sight. Blindingretinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa,macular degeneration and Usher syndromeaffect more than 10 million Americans.

Henry’s grandfather, Joseph Skrivanek,said, “We have only become involved in theVisionWalk these past two years since Henrywas born without sight. The importance ofthis organization and what they do for thosewith vision impairments is overwhelming.They are a wonderful resource for familiesand they inspire hope for everyone affected.It’s amazing that gene therapy can restore

sight, and we are hoping that stem cell re-search as well as gene therapy will one dayrestore sight to Henry.”

Sunday’s VisionWalk also includedchildren’s activities, a bounce house, re-freshments, and entertainment featuringthe Walter Johnson High School cheerlead-ers. Event leaders included Walk Chair EricFulton and FFB Montgomery County Chap-ter President John Splain, Foundation Fight-ing Blindness National Trustee Donna BurkeTehaan, and Tony Perkins from WTTG Fox5 who served as master of ceremonies. Thetop sponsors included Community Cham-pions: Martyn Foundation, the JuliusFleischman Foundation, and Donna, Mandy& Brad Tehaan and Community and Com-munity Captain Sponsors: The Bender Foun-dation, the McPherson Splain Group, and

GE Lighting.The Foundation Fighting Blindness is

funding studies toward preventions, treat-ments and cures. Since 1971, the founda-tion has raised nearly $600 million as theleading non-governmental funder of inher-ited retinal research. Breakthrough Foun-dation-funded studies using gene therapyhave restored significant vision in childrenand young adults who were previouslyblind, paving the way for additional clini-cal trials to treat a variety of retinal degen-erative diseases. The foundation also hasnearly 50 chapters that provide support,information and resources to affected indi-viduals and their families in communitiesacross the country.

Art is whatever you makeit to be ... said artistParsa Afsharjavan, who

will present contemporary paint-ings and artistic clothing at his soloshow entitled “Top Of The Class.”This exhibition of creative andimaginative artwork will be heldon Sunday, Oct. 4 in Potomac Vil-lage at Exclusively Entertainment(EE). Paintings will be displayedboth inside and outside of the EEheadquarters, hung on walls, out-doors in trees and on every avail-able space. Lighting will enhancethe paintings both during the dayand evening and there will bemusic and light refreshments. Theshow will run from 11 a.m. – 9p.m. Admittance is free.

Nineteen-year-old Parsa said,“Art is my number one outlet forexpression. It all started when Iwas a child and loved sports cars.Whenever the opportunity pre-sented itself, I would sketch carsand dragons. From there my mindbecame more broad and my imagi-nation more vivid. The name of myart company is ‘SiNõ,’ because asI was growing up, I was given thenickname Parsino and it has stucksince then. I consider myself anabstract artist and thinker. I getgreat satisfaction from producingand providing custom artwork,footwear and apparel for bothsexes via SiNõ | Art.

Parsa began painting during hisjunior year at Quince OrchardHigh School, where he had optedfor a few classes in art. He cur-rently attends Montgomery Col-lege and is planning to continueon with his studies for a business

degree in management and entre-preneurship at the University ofMaryland. When he is not study-ing or attending classes, he spendsevery spare moment creatingpieces of art.

Some of the titles of his piecesinclude, “The Mind Traveler,”“Spec-u-late,” “Diamond in theRough,” “Pendulum” and “LoveStory Gone Wrong.” In each artwork, Parsa paints a heart and a

stick figure. The stick figure rep-resents him — enlightened andconsumed by living within his art-work. In some pieces, he is search-ing for his heart within the art; inothers he can unlock his heart toseek an emotional relationship. Ina painting called “Earth,” one re-alizes how small he is in relation-ship to the world that he is livingin. However, he is bigger than the

Locked andLoaded

And into the breech (not to be confusedwith breach), I went earlier today. It wasn’texactly the Charge of the Light Brigadewhen breach might have been the moreappropriate characterization, it was simplymy annual MRI, when the doctors check tosee if the cancer in my lungs has spread tomy brain, which in 30 percent of thepatients – the highest percentage of spreadin fact – it does. So today, I had my headexamined: a checkup from the neck up.Though I’m mostly asymptomatic – asusual, other than a few random headachesreported by yours truly; nothing chronic ordebilitating, no pain or suffering, no dizzi-ness or disorientation – it made for a pru-dent course of diagnostic action, nonethe-less. I’m not really worried about theresults, more like wondering, if that dis-tinction even makes sense. Still, I’d just assoon not complicate my life any furtherright now. It’s all fairly manageable.Involving my brain, “what there is of it,” (aThree Stooges quote) however, wouldlikely force us to confront new demons:demons which at present are mostly con-fined in their box (compartmentalized inmy head, actually).

Now whether our feelings are the resultof a possible occurrence in the brain sim-ply being new and different or whether itsappearance there would indeed be worse,we certainly don’t know, but for some rea-son, it seems worse than a finding in thelung. Not that stage IV lung cancer is to beminimized in the least; hardly, it’s a “term-inal” disease; and not that I understandany more about brain cancer and theblood-brain barrier or treatment complica-tions it can cause or can reference any sta-tistical outcomes that support or confuseour feelings more than I can about thenon-small cell lung cancer with which I ammore familiar, our perception is, a confir-mation of tumor activity in the brain wouldlikely upset the very delicate balance ofour figurative apple cart. An apple cart Iwill readily admit we’ve gotten used tobalancing.

But I’m getting ahead (no pun intended)of myself. My oncologist was not anticipat-ing much new information from this MRI,nor was he reacting to my symptoms asmuch as he was mindful of the interval oftime since my last MRI: one year or so. Idid/do take some comfort in his noncha-lance. Although, reading a doctor’s expres-sions or body language or attempting tointerpret and understand their reasons andexplanations for making certain medicalsuggestions is akin to taking a Rorschachtest: you might see or hear what you’repredisposed to – or not. There may besome fact and/or some fiction to consider,but who knows exactly what and whenany of it is relevant or accurate? It mightsimply be a curiosity. But I have to tell you,a “curiosity” is the last thing a “terminal”patient wants to hear or perceive from hisoncologist. I want the truth – as I’ve alwaystold him, and anything to do with the braintruthfully makes me feel unlocked,unloaded and in trouble. Maybe “breach”is the more appropriate word. I suppose I’llknow soon enough. I’ll just have to bepatient. Something I’ve been very good atbeing for six years and seven months,exactly.
