SONIA SOTOMAYOR: THE TRUE AMERICAN DREAM
BOOKLIST PRAISES THE BIO IN A JULY 2010 REVIEW:
"Best-selling biographer Felix's biography of Associate Justice Sotomayor is journalistic in tone and treatment, but it is GOOD, RESPONSIBLE, NONSENSATIONAL JOURNALISM, proving to be NECESSARY READING for anyone interested in gathering a solid, accurate picture of this remarkable woman." -BOOKLIST
Berkley Books (Penguin USA) will release SONIA SOTOMAYOR: THE TRUE AMERICAN DREAM--the first trade hardcover biography of the new justice--in early July.
I look forward to discussing the book at the Dole Institute of Politics (University of Kansas) and many other venues through the summer and fall: stay posted for my speaking/ booksigning schedule.

2009 TALLGRASS WRITING WORKSHOP
The 24th Annual Tallgrass Writing Workshop at Emporia State University on June 26-28 was bittersweet due to the passing of
one of its founders, DON COLDSMITH, on the 25th. Physician, prolific novelist, rancher, columnist and all-around wonderful soul, Don will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
It was an honor and great pleasure to be part of the workshop faculty this year with Karen Stolz, Jon Chandler (who leads a double life as an award-winning singer-songwriter), Johnny D. Boggs, Jim Hoy and Max McCoy. I thank all the writers who attended and participated in my "Dreams & Creativity" seminar sessions and hope that some of those tools will bear fruit in your writing.
IRAN AT THE TIPPING POINT
My interest in women's and other human rights in Iran, which has given me the opportunity to be a panelist and moderator at U.S. Congressional briefings, brought me to Paris on June 20 to attend a 90,000-person-strong event in support of the post-election protestors in Iran. Speaking at the rally, held by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), were Vice President of the European Parliament Alejo Vidal-Quadras, French Senator Jean-Pierre Michel, Member of EU Parliament Paulo Casaca and other international supporters of the NCRI. Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the organization, delivered a speech about the "sacred rage" exhibited by the Iranians in their peaceful protests. To read my June 20 article about Iran, click here.
