First book reviews are coming
Pals Forever came out two months ago, and I am lucky enough to have already first book reviews. Granted, they are all from the friends and family, but that’s only the beginning as my story travels around the world. Nevertheless, I am prepared for the good, the bad, and the ugly, and, hopefully, will learn […]
Readers Appreciation Party, The Pictorial
This post is a followup on the one published last week. My daughter Megan Jurik took the images, Bonnie and I selected and embedded them. I promised to meet again for the celebration of the second book in the Murano family saga. The Resurrections, The Man and His Dog will be ready before Christmas.
Readers Appreciation Party Was a Big Success
Pals Forever is the first book in my trilogy about the life of Dr. Murano. First big chapter in the Murano family saga. And it deserved a proper send out into the real world of readers. I thought we’ve accomplished our goal last Friday. I named the book launch event a Readers Appreciation Party, and […]

Is There Heaven for Dogs?
I had it in my archives for a long time. Now is the proper time to post it. Our 14-year-old dog Abbey died last month. The day after she passed away, my 4-year-old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God […]
‘Genius on the Edge’, by Gerald Imber, M.D.
I wrote about Dr. William Halsted’s life achievements, and about his vices, in the post https://witoldniesluchowski.com/how-did-a-cocaine-addict-change-surgery-in-america/. The book, Genius on the Edge, is, however, about a different aspect of his life story. It’s about how, out of nowhere, there appeared in Baltimore a medical excellence center. A world-class institution, and a hub for contemporary medical […]

Best Songs for Sons and Daughters on Father’s Day, part 4
Third place. Just the two of us… by Will Smith. The rather generic song, written by William Salter, was popularized by Washington Grover. Will Smith made it into a rap, and sang about a special bond between father and son. The sacred bond. In the video, Smith takes his son to work, which is a […]
