Ki Longfellow
(born Pamela Longfellow) is an American
novelist, playwright, theatrical producer, theater director
and entrepreneur. In Britain, as the widow of
Vivian Stanshall,
she is well known as the guardian of his artistic
heritage, but elsewhere she is best known for her own work,
especially the novel
The Secret Magdalene
(
Eio Books,
2005;
Random House, 2007), which deals with gnosis (the
direct experience of the divine), told through the Biblical
story of Mary Magdalene. The second of her novels to deal
with gnosis, although from a very different point of view,
is
Flow Down Like Silver, Hypatia of Alexandria.
Longfellow
is also the author of China Blues, Chasing Women and the
recently published
Houdini Heart.
Twinka Thiebaud
is an artist's model who, along with posing
for her father, American painter
Wayne Thiebaud,
collaborated with many notable photographers of the 20th
century. In the work of
Judy Dater, one particular photo,
"Imogen and Twinka," created in Yosemite National Park,
became one of the most recognizable and iconic images
captured by an American photographer. In it, ninety-two year
old
Imogen Cunningham, a groundbreaking photographer in her
own right, confronts and locks gaze with Twinka, who appears
as a wood nymph frozen before her camera's lens. The image
can been seen in private and major museum collections around
the world. For three years Twinka lived with the aging
novelist
Henry Miller in his Pacific Palisades home acting
as his cook and caretaker while working as an artist's
model, posing for art students and other noted
photographers;
Mary Ellen Mark,
Arnold Newman,
Lucien Clergue,
Eikoh Hosoe, and
Ralph Gibson among others. At home
with Miller, Twinka was captivated and delighted along with
other dinnertime guests and celebrities by Miller's nightly
tales of his past exploits. Listening, she began to keep a
notebook of her version of what he said each evening.
Eventually showing him her notes, he expressed immense
enthusiasm, encouraging her to write a book. The result is a
compilation of both Miller's intimate conversations and
Twinka's memoirs about the years she spent living under his
roof and his lasting effect on her.
Introducing Eio Book's latest exciting discovery:
Nathaniel Fox.
A snappy sassy writer of truly 1940s Manhattan noir mysteries. Fox is as stylish as Raymond Chandler, as clever as James M. Cain, as funny as Lawrence Block when he's tagging along after Bernie Rhodenbarr, burglar, and as gritty as Jim Thompson on one of his gritty days.
Nathaniel Fox was raised on the beach at Malibu, went to Santa Monica
High and Stanford University, speaks Italian and French as well as the
usual English, and now chooses to live in San Francisco where he spends
his time lurking in bookstores or lying about in his North Beach
apartment writing the same kind of thing he loves reading—murder
mysteries. If he's not reading or writing or climbing up and down
hills, he's at the racetrack across the Bay. Horses are a
passion. Sailing comes a distant second. Tennis right after that.
Eventually he might have a website or a fan page or even a blog, but for
the moment he doubts it. He does have a facebook page but only because
they made him do it.
