My Featured Blogger this week is Joe Siccardi of Father Says. Joe is a career newsman who worked in New York, Washington DC, and various other cities before becoming the publisher of an upstate New York newspaper. Still, he draws most of his savvy and down-to-earth wisdom from 40+ years of life as a father and (now widowed) husband.
Don’t assume his “Featured” status here is solely because it happens to be a review of my film Healing River (well, OK, that may have had some influence on my choice)…
Visit his blog and see for yourself why I’ve been cribbing his Father-ly advice for years!

Congratulations! I watched it last week. A powerful story! I especially appreciated the conversations between the mom and young man while he was in detention. 🙂 Question-did you make a cameo appearance in the film?
Yes, briefly. I played the psychologist with the glasses overseeing the group therapy session. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Question: Did you by any chance leave a brief review at Amazon or IMDb? Reviews help create more visibility for the film at Amazon (plus, we’re trying the undercut the effect of an internet troll attack on IMDb!). Blessings till it hurts!
Will do! 😊
I thought that was you!
Yep. 8 >)
I just read Joe’s review. Congratulations!!

Thank you, Lauryn. I know you’ll enjoy it!
