SYNOPSIS:
"People
who'd read Mrs. Parsley Makes a Delivery demanded more stories," author
Julian Padowicz explains.
Mrs. Parsley is a
good witch. Only a tiny percentage of witches are actually evil, she says, but
they, unfortunately, get most of the publicity. She, herself, uses her limited
magical powers to help Santa, the Tooth Fairy, and the various fairy
godmothers, when they get overloaded.
But, because her
magical powers are limited, and she can't fly in and out through closed
windows, turn pumpkins into coaches, or work her "smart phone," Mrs.
Parsley is often forced to improvise. As reviews of the first book will attest,
the resulting adventures are of interest and amusement to adults as well as
children.
AUTHOR BIO:
Julian Padowicz
was seven years old, Jewish, and living in Warsaw, Poland, when WWII began.
After 6 months under Soviet occupation in southern Poland, he and his mother
made a daring trek over the Carpathian Mountains into neutral Hungary. Arriving
in America at the age of 9, Julian spent the next 13 years in boarding school
and college, where his undiagnosed ADD and Dyslexia caused him considerable
grief.
Graduating from
Colgate University in 1954 with a BA in English, he was hired by
Twentieth-Century Fox studios as editor of their company magazine, “Action.”
From 1955 to 1959
he served in the Air Force as a navigator and intercept instructor.
Following
military service, he entered the documentary film profession, first as a writer
and eventually as director, cameraman, editor, and producer, garnering numerous
awards.
Upon retirement
in 2000, Padowicz began writing a 4-part memoir of his WWII experiences. The
first book, Mother and Me: Escape from Warsaw 1939 was published in 2006 by
Academy Chicago and named “Book of the Year” by ForeWord Magazine. It was
followed by A Ship in the Harbor, Loves of Yulian, and When the Diamonds Were
Gone. A “young readers’” version of Mother and Me, published by Scholastic Inc.
was a best seller in the school field.
Feeling that much
of what was interesting in his life was not publishable as memoir, for fear of
hurting people still living, Padowicz created the fictional village of Venice
on the Massachusetts coast and peopled it with characters based on people he
had known, including himself. Applying humor, which he calls his “weapon of
choice,” Padowicz has written several novels in which these fictional
characters go through many of the experiences he, himself, has gone through.
His hero, Kip, is a retired college professor, married to his creative, but
accident prone wife, the lovely Amanda, and trying to lead a “normal” life, in
a new community, among whacky neighbors and whackier friends from his past.
Padowicz lives in a 100 plus-year-old house in Stamford, Connecticut with his
wife, Donna Carter. Their blended family includes 5 children, 9 grandchildren,
and 2 great-grands.
