National Book Awards Glamorizing The Art Of Writing!

I am very excited to attend the 63rd Annual National Book Awards Ceremony and Benefit Dinner that will be held on November 14th, 2012 at beautiful Cipriani's located on Wall Street.

As a best-selling independent author who loves everything about book publishing, as a producer presently engaged on a show about storytelling, as a lover of books, as a librophiliac, and as the founding director of the I CARE Foundation that rescues or protects children from international abduction, I am thrilled to see that under the leadership of the Harold Augenbraum of the National Book Foundation, there appears to be a sincere effort to change the perception that the publishing industry as a whole is stale, not progressive and that writers really do not matter.

Well I say hogwash to that!!

Indeed, the spirit of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Dorothy Parker, and Ernest Hemingway live inside all of us.

The Round Tables may actually be rectangular, but that really never mattered. What did was the creative imagination and perspective of the writer engaged in making our world a better place through the dedication of their craft.

Books do matter!

So come this Wednesday, the National Book Awards Ceremony and Benefit Dinner not only gets to celebrate the world of writers - something Hollywood does extraordinarily well - but it gets to raise the bar and remind the world that the first real stars that pushed society were the world's writers. In truth, that has not changed.

I am looking forward to attending the NBA Ceremony and Benefit Dinner this week, along with attending several of the ongoing events that are taking place during the week. And I am particularly interested in hearing what Faith Salie, the evening's Master of Ceremonies has to say.

Books and writing are not back - they never left!

Nevertheless, I give a standing ovation to the NBF for their efforts to put back a little glitz and glamor into the world of publishing.

Well, I have to get ready - I am having lunch with Dorothy Parker - or should I say "Dorothy Parker's ghost?'

One last thing - the National Book Foundation suffered losses and displacement due to Hurricane Sandy. Should you have the ability of helping this important institution, please do.

Best to all,

Peter Thomas Senese

A Special Message From Peter

Thank you for stopping by! As many of you know, I love being
a historical fiction writer. My storytelling evolves around topics I find interesting and current to the social dialogue, including subjects such as religion, science, technology, capitalism, and parenting. In each of my novels, several of these issues are typically weaved into the story's plot, with the hope and intent to keep my readers entertained while also providing some interesting historical facts intended to accelerate each story's plot. Like any author, it is my hope to entertain my readers while at times also stirring emotions to create a social reaction the way my novel Chasing The Cyclone has played a key role in raising social awareness of international parental child abduction, including becoming the seed that led to the creation of the I CARE Foundation. Now you may ask yourself, 'How impactful has Chasing The Cyclone been?' Significant. For example prior to the activism created from Chasing The Cyclone, international child abduction in the United States was advancing at a pandemic rate for nearly 30 consecutive years in a row. Then Chasing The Cyclone was released and along with it came a diverse, wide-spread, and highly impactful tools and measures that have remarkably played a heavy role in reducing the rate of international parental child kidnappings in the United States by over 15% per year during fiscal years 2011 and 2012. God willing, the efforts of the I CARE Foundation and other hard-working organizations will lead to another decline in the IPCA rate originating from the United States while also leading to a much-needed reduction of IPCA in other countries. As far as my writing there is one thing more than anything else that you may be interested in knowing as it is at the core of my storytelling: if you listen carefully, you will hear the voice of a father who loves his son more than words can ever express. Thank you for your support and interest in my writing and activism. I hope you find my writing entertaining, educational, and that each of my novels stirs your emotions.

I invite you to read a special message about my writing and volunteer work assisting children in crisis. (A Special
Message From Peter)

Remeber - life is filled with magic. Embrace each day to the fullest!

U.S. Reported Cases Of International Parental Child Abduction Drops By 15% For Second Year In Row!

Since the I CARE Foundation's inception, outbound reported cases of international parental child abduction originating from the United States has dropped by over 15%. This is a remarkable accomplishment, particularly when considering U.S. abductions skyrocketed during the previous 30 years. The drop in reported cases of international kidnappings is clearly related to government and non-government organizations efforts to raise society's awareness of abduction, while also creating new laws and policies geared to protecting children: issues the I CARE Foundation has worked hard at accomplishing.
