Mavis Powell began developing "MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY IN MAVIS' KITCHEN: A Southern Cooking Lifestyle" as a young bride during World War II. She was then living in Orange, Texas while her husband, Joe, was serving in the Air Corps in the Pacific Theater. Mavis' weekly menus began simply, based on availability. But when the family moved to Monroe, Louisiana Mavis perfected her Southern culinary skills which led to her next greatest passion: The Art of the Party. Upon moving back to Texas, Mavis entertained such luminaries as Liberace and Bob Hope... and through experience and true grit...she morphed into the ultimate Southern Hostess! $30.00

##Raised on a healthy diet of science fiction and horror from the age of five, Paul J. Salamoff parlayed his obsession for genre filmmaking into a successful run as a Special F/X Make-Up Artist, Producer, Writer, Director, Author and recently as a Film Executive. In his eighteen years in the business, he has worked on over fifty films, ten television series, and numerous commercials. He currently lives in Burbank, CA with his wife Melissa (an Interior Designer), children Samantha (a Preschooler) and Ethan (an infant) and his cat Banshee (a brown-mackerel tabby). #When it comes to Hollywood etiquette on the movie set, nobody gave better advice than Spencer Tracy. Asked by a young actor what advice the master could offer him, Tracy replied, "Know your lines and don't bump into the furniture." Strangely enough, no one has collected Hollywood's movie set rules of behavior until now. Backed by the industry and film unions, there is no other resource book like Movie Sets 101: the Definitive Survivor's Guide by Paul J. Salamoff, an eighteen-year veteran of the movie industry with credits spanning over fifty films, ten television series and numerous commercials. Whether you are new to the industry, a seasoned pro or just interested in what the credits mean at the end of your favorite movie, this book is for you. Salamoff has worked in the industry as a Special F/X Make-Up Artist, Producer, Writer, Director and Executive and has compiled what he has learned throughout the years on movie sets to help others. "Not only will you learn about the different jobs on the movie set but, for the first time, you'll discover the hidden rules of movie set etiquette they don't teach you in film schools," explains Salamoff. Each chapter covers a different movie set department (i.e. talent, grip, costume, electric, etc.). Offering practical advice from over 70 top industry professionals this vitally useful information is presented with wit and humor and packed with anecdotal advice that will not only help those wanting to break into film but actually help them succeed while trying.

As a casting director for twenty-three years, Holly Powell witnessed the casting world from three different points of view: As an independent casting director, as Head of Casting for a Studio, and as a Network Casting Executive. From this unique perspective, she formed Holly Powell Studios, with her mission being to demystify the audition process for actors. Through using her â€œThe 6 Audition Tools Method,â€ actors are guided into adopting the mental focus of the athlete and learn to control sabotaging thoughts that can derail an audition. THE AUDITION BIBLE: Secrets Every Actor Needs To Know, originally written as a companion piece to Hollyâ€™s audition workshops, covers not only audition techniques and tools but answers many common questions about audition protocol. Anecdotal audition stories exemplify what works and what doesnâ€™t during the casting process. Part 1: The Audition is a handbook for any actor auditioning for any venue, be it television, film, theater, a commercial or a webisode. The actor travels through waiting in the lobby, walking into the audition room, the audition itself, the people he encounters in the room, and finally exiting the audition room. Part 2: Auditioning For A Series-Regular Role guides the actor through the four steps it typically takes to book a series-regular role on a network television series: The Pre-Read with the Casting Director, The Callback for Producers, Reading for Studio Executives, and Testing at the Network. Even though the format in Part 2 is specifically geared toward auditioning for television, all actors in every medium will find invaluable information here that will apply to their individual audition circumstances. An audition is an audition is an audition.

Mavis Powell developed a "Cooking With Mavis" lifestyle as a young bride during World War II. But the seed of that lifestyle was planted growing up as a child in The Great Depression. Her mother Pearlie always had large pots of soups and stews bubbling on the stove that were shared with hungry travelers. Their home became a "marked house" as the Hobos, what they were called at that time, used symbols to let fellow weary travelers know if houses along the way would share food or a place to rest. Here is where Mavis' love of cooking and passion to serve others took root. This depression-era mentality - never let food go to waste - became the foundation for Mavis' Southern Kitchen Lifestyle. Weekly menus began with ingredients already in the fridge, freezer, or shelf. Sunday noontime dinner was usually the biggest meal of the week and as the week progressed, mere leftovers morphed into fabulous Southern creations!Mavis and her husband Joe's life together was very social which led to her to her next greatest joy: The Art of the Party! Through passion, grace and sheer grit she grew into the ultimate Southern Hostess.
