Donna Pritchard with her new book
Donna Pritchard wrote to tell me she’s coming next week to promote her new book, which she wrote under the pen name of Donna Savage…here’s more:
DONNA PRITCHARD’s first book signing is scheduled at Island Studios on August 8 from 2:30-5:00. Drop by and say hello!
The Man and The Shark: A Modern Day Fable of Awakening and Rebirth is the powerful telling of one man’s awakening to his inner voice, with compelling ocean and wildlife photographs (by her brother Daryl Pritchard) providing backdrop to the story. A Limited Edition, this 54-page full-color work of art was written, designed and published by Ms. Savage, an accomplishment she sent out to achieve when she left her real estate career in Friday Harbor in 2005.
During those 4 years, Donna and her “travelin’ cat, Roxy” have lived in Sun Valley, Idaho; Boston, Puerto Vallarta, & her hometown of Kingston, TN. Besides these moves, she has driven cross-country from Newfoundland to San Juan Island & from San Juan Island to Puerto Vallarta.
Donna is available for book signings or presentations for book & writers groups, organizations, and private gatherings. She welcomes invitations to share her “story behind the story” in either a casual or formal setting. Her power point presentation, “Live Your Dreams, Find Your Purpose,” tells her experience of “letting go” of control to allow a dream to manifest.
Signed copies of the book are available at Islands Studio and Griffin Bay Bookstore, and directly through Donna. If you see her, she has books with her! Go to www.donnapsavage.com to read her reviews.
Hugh Gilbert, Author & International Lecturer, Alberta, Canada : “Donna has masterfully woven a simple yet profound tale of how the future will be won, not by learning who we are, but by remembering who we are.”
Francis Rothluebber, President: New Momentum for Human Unity: “The Man in Donna Savage’s remarkable fable represents the evolutionary process of humanity to a holistic relationship with all dimensions of life. This fable is a renewal of hope.”
Kingston United Methodist Church: Rev. Don Morris : “Ms. Savage traces the age-old story of the loss of innocence that everyone undergoes in becoming an adult—and its recovery beyond the tragedy of self-alienation, through art, nature, and recollection. It is a fine accomplishment, an aid to meditation at the very least, and, at most, a way “home” for the wandering soul.”
11:11, A Magazine Devoted to the Journey of the Soul: “[In] “The Man and The Shark”…many readers will recognize their own story through the passages of life. For those that tend to resist that voice from within, there will be a resonance to the words that unfold, allowing for a trust and knowing to once again dawn.”
