AMANDA COCKRELL ON PBS' WRITE AROUND THE CORNER, DISCUSSING COYOTE WEATHER. "I could not put it down. I felt like I knew all the characters...full of fumbles and missed chances...but somehow managing to survive." -- PETER COYOTE, actor, author of Sleeping Where I Fall. www.pbs.org/video/write-...

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. Amanda Cockrell talks series & her upcoming novel on 1950s' "Red Scare": the persecution and silencing of Hollywood writers and actors by a reactionary US Congress. And what happens to people when their own government betrays them. #Redscare #historicalnovels #McCarthyism

Sure, we keep watching -- but no one has a freaking clue about what's gonna happen next . . .
