It's finally all coming together!

Hi: I've gotten the opportunity to make a few changes recently. It's still kind of new but I think it'll be a HUGE improvement!  We'll see.  Here's what's up this time:
the three "readers" are:

1.Ilana Haley takes her literary inspiration from an Israeli childhood--- as a child of early kibbutz pioneers. These stories and poems reflect values and conflicts that helped to make the Nation of Israel. She left her kibbutz and spent two years in the army; from there to her life in Tel-Aviv as dancer with the Israeli Ballet,and then to America with a grant from The Martha Graham School. She found inspiration as a fashion designer, studying at the Chicago Art Institute, and as a Yoga teacher at the Yoga Circle in Chicago. After she finished her BA in Hebrew literature at the Spertus College in Chicago, she went back to Israel for few years and received her MA at Bar-Ilan University in Tel-Aviv. She came back to America to teach in high school (her favorite occupation-- as she says). After many years of writing and reflection she has finally, after the death of her mother, decided to publish this small volume of prose and poetry that begins to tell the stories that give words to her history and hopes. She is working now on a saga. Ilana Haley went through the wars which provide the background for her characters and their emotional strains and conflicts--and their efforts to heal themselves. Their stories are told in this book. They will take the reader into the realms of love, war, pain, passion, life reality and death. This book is a journey of life and death with all its complexity. Haley uses her expressive, evocative poetry to further awaken one’s senses and inspire contemplation of the meaning of existence and the value of emotion.

8. Hi one more time! I just realized I might owe you all a HUGE apology.  I had just had an experience with the booker for a reading  where I had sent them 15 emails telling them I'd  be interested in doing the event they wanted me for and I had just gotten an e-mail from them saying it had been three weeks and they HAD NEVER HEARD FROM ME. I called the venue and told them to have the booker  get in touch. They sent me an e-mail with their phone number and we arranged for me to do the event on July 9th 2013 details to follow.  We thought we had it fixed so they asked me to e-mail them a bio for the event.  I did, I called them to follow up and they STILL said it did not go through. They checked and it turns out it had been coming through all along and had just been going into the SPAM FOLDER instead of the inbox. I just got another e-mail from a contact that said they had not been getting their e-mails sending out the info they'd sent  to My People either.  unfortunately , I check my e-mail at least 3 times a day and there is at least 3,000 e-mails in it every time! clearly I've been missing business because of this.  YOUR E-MAILS JUST DID NOT GET THROUGH! IF YOU SEND AGAIN AND YOU DON'T HEAR FROM ME IN 3 DAYS, PLEASE CALL TO CONFIRM THAT I DID GET THE E-MAIL OKAY? Thanks!
