Aug. 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Prose To Go: Tales From A Private List is a peek into the private lives of 18 professional writers from the North West Territories to Prince Edward Island and is described by the New York Journal of Books as an "eclectic mix of memories of shared love, laughter, and hope (that) should appeal to a wide readership".

Drive through the North West Territories with Helena Katz as she drives a herd of alpacas to their new home in her backyard. Join Trudy Kelly Forsythe at the Rolling Stones Big Bang Tour and Barbara Florio Graham in her encounter with actor Peter Falk (aka Columbo). Watch award winning cookbook author Julie Watson wrestle with a lobster on TV. Cry with Barbara Bunce Desmeules Massobrio as she describes My Life Now and with Hilda Young as she comes to terms with her son's suicide while Irene Davis deals with a vanished voice and Fred Desjardins with growing older.The New York Journal of Books stated this volume "deserves to find a place in every public library collection.........The tone is personal and intimate in a way that effectively bonds author and reader together, so that reading this book becomes a life-enhancing experience."

Two of the contributions in this book have won awards. Joanne Carnegie's story, Just Desserts,  was the winner in the Summit Studios contest for funny stories about children. Ms Carnegie was also co-winner of the  Barbara Novak Writing Award for Excellence in Humour/Personal Essay Writing for 2012. The award is given annually by the Professional Writers Association of Canada (PWAC). That was for an article called Vegetable Grace.

Steve Pitt who is a contributor to this anthology and the author of My Life And Other Lies  won an award from Summit Studios for funny animal stories. That particular story is not in Prose but Steve does have two others in the anthology.

My Life and Other Lies: Tales From A Writer's List is a collection of stories by Steve Pitt whose fellow writers have compared his humor to that of Bob Newhart, David Sedaris and Stephen Leacock. In fact, William Deverell, the award winning crime novelist said  "These true life tales range from the gently picaresque to the wildly funny. Leacock Redux".

Blog Critics said: Pitt displays an ability to weave wit, humor and nostalgia into artful story-telling similar to the works of Garrison Keillor, the celebrated author of Lake Wobegone Days, and Jean Shepherd whose collected anecdotes eventually became the holiday classic A Christmas Story.
