Screenwriter, Playwright Susan Emshwiller Dives in with Debut Novel “Thar She Blows”
While departing in form from her previous work for stage and screen, Susan Emshwiller’s debut novel “Thar She Blows” incorporates all her storytelling and characterization chops, within dramatic and energized prose. “As much as I love the camaraderie and collaboration of films and theater, it’s very liberating to create a story with prose. I’m invigorated and relishing this freedom,” said Emshwiller.
“Thar She Blows” tells the absurd story of an agoraphobic suburban mother’s search for her teenage son, who has been swallowed by, and is living in, a whale. Family dysfunction intertwines with a variety of characters from around the world who impact each other from near and far. Both mother and son battle their inner skeptical voices as they face the impossible task of finding each other, but each becomes more self-reliant, in this moving tale of survival, sacrifice and reinvention.
Amy Madigan, actor and producer who has worked with Emshwiller, praises the novel, saying, “Susan is afraid of nothing in her writing. Full Stop. Hilarious! A mother/son fiasco/journey wrapped in love, grit, and impossibility-be-damned! I promise you will love this wild ride.”
Anne Anthony, author of “A Blue Moon & Other Murmurs of the Heart” writes of the book, “Funny, tender, and uplifting, this journey is a nonstop, cover-to-cover read, flipping one page after the other hoping, cheering, and breathlessly wondering about the final outcome for mother and son in this suspenseful tale of rescue.”
About the Author: Emshwiller, known for her screenwriting work on the movie “Pollock,” is a produced and published playwright, filmmaker, actress, artist and writer of short stories. “Thar She Blows” is her debut novel.
“Thar She Blows” is available for pre-order now at retailers and online bookstores.

Author James Boudon’s New Book, “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse,” Introduces Julia Percy, the Leader of Calvary, as She Fights to Escape Her Captors and Save Humanity
Author James Boudon began dabbling at writing short stories in the fourth grade and moved on to creating a comic book called “Rabbitman” during high school and a “Star Trek” novella during college. He has also written numerous poems and song lyrics. He currently works as a rural mail carrier for the US Postal Service and spends his spare time enjoying golf, hiking, and other outdoor activities when he is not writing. He lives in the beautiful hills and countryside of north central Pennsylvania in a rather remote area where the wildlife outnumbers the people.
Boudon writes, “Julia Kristina Percy sighed as a cool breeze from the oscillating floor fan wafted across her scantily clad sculpted physique. Simultaneously upon the memory-sphere player, Impala Quiff, ‘IQ,’ launched into a squealing high-octane guitar solo. Percy moaned contentedly and closed her eyes as the familiar rock ballad evoked a myriad of all-but-forgotten nostalgia. She was reclining on a lounge chair in the living space of her hotel suite. She had just returned from a vigorous workout in the resort’s large pool and was still clad solely in her olive-green bikini. Lead vocalist Nigel Jape resumed crooning the tune’s lyrics in his scintillating and dulcet tones.”
Published by Page Publishing, James Boudon’s memorable tale invites readers to discover whether Percy will be able to return to her home world ahead of the Bellerophon. Otherwise, all life on the planet will be incinerated, and humanity itself will be erased from existence within the universe.
Readers who wish to experience this engrossing work can purchase “Calvary: The Eternity Eclipse” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Mickey Rourke Up to His Old Tricks Says Acting Dynamo Gary Stretch
Speaking to CYInterview, Mickey Rourke’s costar in the upcoming film, Devil’s Play, Gary Stretch, who is also one of the film’s producers and has a history with Mickey, said the actor completely changed the character he was supposed to play in the movie:
“The role was a great role and Mickey changed it a lot. And it was based on a true guy and there were some brilliant scenes in the movie that Mickey just erased and did his own thing, which in some ways I was mad about because it was so brilliantly written, the role. And then in other ways, I’m happy that Mickey did Mickey because he did a great job. But he completely changed it and, but it worked.”
Gary Stretch, a former boxing champion/actor/filmmaker, is among other things, known for the 2019 documentary film he directed on former UFC superstar Ronda Rousey, Through My Father’s Eyes. Mr. Stretch said Rourke’s role in Devil’s Play is his best work recently, but also noted that the actor had a couple of meltdowns while filming Devil’s Play:
“I think it’s the best I’ve seen Mickey in a while because he’s very real in the film. You know, he had a bit of a meltdown on the set a few times and he was a challenge, but, he, what I will say, is you know, Mickey has a lot of, a bad reputation. He worked really hard. He did his job really well and the only thing, it, was not 100 percent was that he completely changed the role, and so, but we trusted that he’s a great actor and we went with it and we made it work, so, it was great to work with him.”
Mr. Stretch, a powerhouse actor in his own right, is known for brilliant performances in Oliver Stone’s Alexander and the Shane Meadows film Deadman Shoes. He was joined for this CYInterview with his Devil’s Play co-star, Bulgarian acting superstar Dessy Tenekedjieva. You can watch him commenting on Mickey Rourke, starting at minute 17 of the video below:
