		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to let all HO friends know that my book Wright for America is free today and Sunday, Jan. 12 &#38; 13 on Amazon Kindle.  Little bit Tootsie, little bit Mission Impossible.  Enjoy! http://tinyurl.com/99pyof6 Robin LamontAuthor ROBIN LAMONT’S diverse careers as actress, private investigator, and prosecutor all served as inspiration for Wright for America. She performed on Broadway in several shows, including the musical Godspell, and her original cast recording of “Day by Day” has drawn fans from around the world. As a day job, she worked at a private investigations firm that hired actors as undercover agents to ferret out producers of counterfeit products. After earning her law degree, she practiced as an Assistant District Attorney in New York, where she lives with her family. Robin’s first novel If Thy Right Hand was awarded the Gold Medal in the 2012 Independent Publishers Book Awards and named Best of 2011 by Suspense Magazine.More Posts - Website - Twitter - Facebook]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like many, I made my annual New Year&#8217;s resolution to lose weight.  So I was drawn to the full page ad in the New York Times for a new book called Thinner Next Year, which follows up on its physiologically impossible predecessor, Younger Next Year.  The new book promises to deliver &#8220;ground-breaking&#8221;  &#8221;up-to-date nutritional science,&#8221; and appears to be an instant bestseller. A closer look at the description, however, reveals that the revolutionary diet secrets finally now made public are this:  avoid high calorie nutritionally deficient foods and exercise.   Are you kidding me? Anyone who has ever tried to lose weight knows this.  It&#8217;s taught in health class at every middle school in the country.  But this book is a bestseller because it uses acronyms like avoid SOFAS = solid fats, added sugars &#8211; and the marketing that went into the title. Here&#8217;s my book that will change your life &#8211; for FREE! Thinner Tomorrow : Why Wait for Next Year? - HEFALOH(ED) = hard exercise for at least one hour (every day) - avoid ECLAN = eating cookies late at night, - and IYETDEAL &#8211;  if you eat them don&#8217;t eat a lot That&#8217;s it!  Short. Ground-breaking.  Up-to-date nutritional science. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everywhere I turn, social media experts tell me that as an author I must “build my platform.” I’m trying, I really am. But some attempts make me stop and scratch my head. The other day, I saw that a friend of mine who worked as an undercover investigator for an animal welfare group posted on Reddit in the “IAmA” section where you post your job and profile and anyone can ask you questions. He got hundreds of responses (as well he should, he’s a very interesting guy). So I thought, “why not build my author platform on Reddit?” Voila! I posted my profile: “I Am Robin Lamont, a Broadway actress with a hit song, turned private investigator, turned NY prosecutor, turned novelist.” I was happy to receive about a dozen questions. However, by the next day I realized that I was clearly ho-hum in the world of Reddit. Not only had Reddit users stopped contacting me, but they had found others much more interesting. Here are a few that received far more attention that I did: * I have worked the last 5 years in a warehouse, ask me anything about pallets and pallet storage. * My dad was left [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a modern woman with a post-graduate degree and someone who has curiosity for a broad range of world news, I love the New York Times. To be sure, the editorials lean left … so do I. But it’s the intelligent journalism that speaks to me. Until the holiday season rolls around. Then the Times doesn’t speak to me – indeed the newspaper rubs my nose in the fact that I am not within the demographic it aims for. Nowhere near it. Every page is filled with ads for handbags “starting at $19,000,” watches for which they won’t even quote a price, and diamond jewelry that costs more than the GDP of a small African country. To peruse Christmas gifts, you now need an appointment. So during what ought to be a time that fosters a spirit of kindness and generosity, my connection to the world suddenly turns me into an impoverished Scrooge. I ask my husband in disbelief, “Is there really someone out there looking for a 4.3 million dollar necklace from Harry Winston to put in his wife’s stocking?” “Obviously,” he replies without lowering the sports section, “or Harry Winston wouldn’t be running full page ads.” Then I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in a small town north of New York City – the drive anywhere from an hour-and-a-quarter to seven days, depending on the traffic on the West Side Highway. It’s quiet and rustic up here, neighbors wave to one another, and noise ordinances are strictly enforced. Don’t let the tranquil image mislead you, however, our police force is very busy. Which is why I cannot wait for the local newspaper to arrive every Friday so I can check the Crime Report. Here are some of the more exciting excerpts – verbatim, no word changes – I swear. Thurs. Oct. 4 10:27am – Suspicious incident, Rolling Meadow Lane. A neighbor saw something happening, but police determined there was no problem. Friday, Oct. 5 10:20pm – Police called to homeowner’s report of a woman crying next door. When police arrive, they found the next door neighbor on the phone with her sister. Thus. Oct. 11 6:20pm – Suspicious incident, Salem Road. Complainant heard noise, then alarm beep. Low battery signal. Fri. Oct. 12 10:20am – Animal, West Avenue. Report of raccoons in dumpster in business district. Company notified to fix cover of dumpster. This last is somewhat of an exaggeration because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excerpt from Wright for America Now available on Amazon.com &#160; &#160; Everyone on the nineteenth floor knew better than to stare at Pryor Wright’s hairpiece.  But boy, it was hard not to notice – a virtual ledge of bangs swept back at an improbable angle that was once described by a female columnist for the New York Times as “having all the sex appeal of industrial shelving.”  Wright retaliated on the show, calling her a cross-eyed liberal bitch, and she forever joined the list of people he despised.  The list was long. Today, despite a heated, sweaty performance, the shellacked divot remained lodged firmly atop his head as he swiveled in his custom calfskin chair, eyes closed, savoring the final words of his taped broadcast.  His long-time program director, Jill Fairbank, and the show’s producer, Alan Eisenman, listened patiently. What more could he do to ruin this country?  Wake up, people!  He’s hell-bent on destroying the America that you and I love.  And I’ll be honest with you, I’m afraid.  And you ought to be afraid, too.  This so-called ‘legislation’ is no more than a Roman decree from a President who wants to rule the country like Caligula ruled the [...]]]></description>
