Local Volusia County, FL Authors Ink Publishing DealBy: Merlin Stone Remembered The book is entitled Merlin Stone Remembered and will be available in the fall of 2014. It will contain 396 pages of commentary on, and previously unpublished work by, Merlin Stone. With a preface by renowned feminist, Gloria Orenstein, the book has been endorsed by such notable authors as Olympia Dukakis, Barbara G. Walker, Z. Budapest, Starhawk, and many others. “It’s been a passion of mine, and a labor of love, to create a book like this to honor Merlin Stone,” said Lenny Schneir, one of the authors of the book. “She was a courageous pioneer and researcher and it’s our hope that the story will have a positive impact on readers,” he added. Merlin Stone was the author of several books including When God Was a Woman and Ancient Mirrors of Womanhood. She was an ardent feminist, artist, sculptor, art historian, persistent, tireless and courageous traveler, researcher, writer, lecturer and speaker. She traveled the globe alone, including some places most Americans wouldn’t travel today, gathering material to expose what many scholars, psychologists and historians have called “the biggest hoax” in the universe—the Adam and Eve creation story and the Biblical accounts of patriarchy and male dominance as dictated by a Father God.

He was born in Brooklyn, received a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of Denver, served in the Army, and became a professional poker player, collector and author. He currently resides in Daytona Beach. Dr. David B.
