The Painting of You

Salem author William Michaelian has released the first, in what will hopefully be a long line, of books in an Author's Press Series. I have personally seen the work and can say, without a doubt, that it is thoughtful, compassionate and poignant--a wonderful read. Click here for more information or just jump in and order your copy.


Description:
Designed and published by William Michaelian, the Author’s Press Series was conceived as a set of relatively inexpensive, uniformly designed titles meant to explore different themes and facets of his writing. The eighty entries in this first volume, The Painting of You, blend poetry and prose written in a three-year period during which the author was caring for his mother in her home while she was battling Alzheimer’s Disease. The difficulties they faced are set against a revealing backdrop of family history, daily life, and dreams, as their roles are reversed and their friendship is deepened and colored by change.
