On the Share Your Story podcast today I have with me Victoria Noe, an award-winning author, speaker and activist. Her Friend Grief series - the result of a promise she made to a dying friend - recognizes the importance of friendships in shaping our lives. Noe's long-time HIV/AIDS activism led her to write Fag Hags, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community, the groundbreaking book that honors the women who changed the course of the epidemic. An accomplished public speaker, she has presented at organizations such as ACT UP/London, Mt. Sinai Hospital, the Muse and the Marketplace, BookExpo America, and Open Hand/San Francisco as well as libraries and bookstores in New York and the Midwest. During the pandemic she has led workshops and online writing groups focusing on friend grief. Noe's newest book, What Our Friends Left Behind: Grief and Laughter in a Pandemic about people who have lost a friend during the pandemic, was recently published in June, 2023. Her website is the best place to find her: victorianoe.com. You will find her books are all there, as well as social media links - Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn - and you can sign up for her monthly newsletter as well to keep up to date.
Summary:With the pandemic mostly behind us, thoughts of those we lost remain. Victoria Noe realized the loss of numerous friends and shares how we often are unsupported in this grief. Despite how close or important these relationships were, they are not usually recognized as valid. Notes:Deep into her fourth career, St. Louis native Victoria Noe is a Chicago-based award-winning author, speaker and activist with two degrees in theater. Her Friend Grief series - the result of a promise she made to a dying friend - recognizes the importance of friendships in shaping our lives.

Sinai Hospital, the Muse and the Marketplace, BookExpo America, and Open Hand/San Francisco as well as libraries and bookstores around New York state and the Midwest.

In this episode, my guest, Carrie Berk and I are chatting about cyberbullying, how to deal with it, and how to avoid it! My guest and I are sharing our stories! My Guest Carrie Berk @carrieberkk https://www.carrieschronicles.com/about-carrie Bestselling author, actress, social media influencer, anti-bullying activist... At only 17 years old, CARRIE BERK already has a life’s worth of accomplishments under her belt. Patch.com recently called her “a whirlwind of a young woman” and Bella Magazine declared her “an ambitious and dedicated boss babe.” A bestselling children’s book author with 21 books to her credit, Carrie penned her first book Peace, Love and Cupcakes, when she was only in second grade. At the time she was writing an extensive food review/recipe blog entitled “Carrie’s Cupcake Critique” which garnered her the title “The Cupcake Queen” from The Cake Boss himself, Buddy Valastro. The Cupcake Club series went on to publish 12 books (selling 400,000+ copies worldwide), and became an award-winning Off-Broadway show and featured selection in 2017’s New York Musical Festival. Carrie not only co-wrote the script for the play, but starred in it as well, earning her critical praise and a NYMF award for Outstanding Individual Performance. Carrie’s second series, Fashion Academy, stems from her passion for fashion. The six-book series also became an Off-Broadway production at Vital Theatre and is currently licensed worldwide by Tams-Witmark/Concord Music Publishing. Her latest series, Ask Emma (Bonnier Publishing), springs not just from her boundless imagination, but from her personal experience as a teen lifestyle blogger and someone who has experienced cyberbullying firsthand. Ask Emma launched in 2018 at Book Expo America and Book Con with book three of the series hitting shelves this past fall.

Sue Dent Sue Dent’s publishing career began in 2005 when she self-published her debut novel Never Ceese before submitting her story to publishing houses. In 2006 Dent was picked up by the now defunct Journey Stone Creations. In that same year, Never Ceese made the Preliminary Ballot for Superior Achievement in a First Novel and was chosen Book Club Choice for the month of May at the American Christian Writers Association, the only general market horror book to ever be selected. She also went to Book Expo America with that publisher and signed over 400 books to give away to librarians and bookstores. In 2009, and with her new publisher The Writers Café Press, Sue’s second novel Forever Richard made the 2009 Long-list at the British Fantasy Society. The review done by BFS reviewer Maryann Boo showed up in the BFS Prism magazine. When her second publisher went under, Sue joined forces with Black Bed Sheet Book owner Nicholas Grabowsky known for having penned Halloween IV. Never Ceese went on to claim one of the top three spots in Yellow Sci-Fi’s Pluto Awards with Forever Richard making the long-list there as well. As a bonus, and much to Dent’s surprise, Never Ceese was voted #1 Best Christian Horr
