Anole Publishing Introduces Pauline L. Hawkins
June 15, 2012 – Denver, CO, and Plano, TX – Anole Publishing announced today the release of Ashes Ashes the Twins Fall Down, Twin Towers, 9/11, by author Pauline L. Hawkins. Hawkins’ debut book tells the story of her trying to cope with the tragic event, its immediate repercussions on her family, and the re-framing of the vision of America that she, like so many of us, was forced to undergo because of that fateful September day.
“Where were you on 9/11?” the author asks, and as she relates the events of her morning on that sunny, late summer day, readers will find their own memories brought into a clearer light of hearing the tragic news on the car radio or from a fellow employee when they arrived at work or from a family member’s phone call asking if they were all right.
The morning of 9/11 is placed carefully in broader political, historical and social contexts, and the author also devotes an appropriate measure of appreciation to those who sacrificed for their country not only on that day, but on the many days since, both at home and overseas.
This event that has become so tightly woven into the continuing fabric of our American culture will be given even more clarity by Ashes, Ashes, the Twins Fall Down because of the author’s thoughtful blend of the subjective and the objective and her ability to convey so readily a response felt by so many Americans that day.

Yeah, I was actually in my car on my way to work in my own little world. If you’re interested in reading the book it’s available on Kindle for $3.99. In September my book will be on virtual tour if you want to check back and see where it’s headed. The schedule will be on my Event Calendar but you know I will also be blogging about it. Thanks.

I was a lobbyist in the Pentagon that day. We didn’t even know what went down until about 20 minutes after the towers fell. 9 hours later they walked us out in a long line. I think this is our era’s answer to the “where were you when Kennedy was shot?” question and what a sad question it is. We were all so affected by that day. I’d read this book.

I will never for get the phone call that morning teling me to turn on the news. It was like 6:15 in CA and I was transfixed. When Agent Daddy was sent home from work because government offices were considered unsafe it all became so much more real.

Wow. The company I worked for at the time had an office in the Sears Tower in Chicago and they sent all of our associates home because of fear of an attack on the Tower. I hope you’ll check out my book. Thanks.

I was on my way to work in Chelsea, NY. I had no idea what was happening when they made us get off the train that morning. Terrifying day. I remember walking home with all of New York City. Your book sounds really interesting.

I was sleeping and got a call from my mother to turn on the radio (we don’t have tv). I was horrified by what I was hearing. It was day two before I was able to get to a tv and view what had happened.
Your book video is excellent.

Even though it could not be a short list, it’s also not a terrifically lengthy list.

I have been browsing online greater than 3 hours as of late, yet I by no means found any fascinating article like yours. It’s lovely value sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the internet might be a lot more helpful than ever before.

certainly like your website but you have to test the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I will definitely come again again.
