\n\u200bTwo WordMagic Books are Currently Available:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

As you can perhaps tell from the image above, my first book,\u00a0Horsing Around: The Inside Word on Marriage and Horses<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/u>,\u00a0<\/em>has become a collector’s item.\u00a0It\u00a0is a 10×10 coffee table book rich with illustrations that enhance the narration about the words in common between marriage and horses. Below is the preface and the back cover copy.<\/p>\n

There are only a limited number left. Each costs $50 (plus tax & postage). If you are interested in purchasing a copy, please contact me directly.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Love<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The powerful bond between humans and horses goes back through the ages. Still, you may be surprised to see to what degree we continue to equate our most intimate relationship with our equine companions.
\nHorsing Around<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0unveils the connection between marriage and horses. It offers tantalizing food-for-thought for everyone who enjoys horseplay and wordplay \u2013 but especially for those who will soon be stepping up to the\u00a0altar<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0alter<\/strong>\u00a0their lives forever.<\/p>\n

If you are one who intends to be wedlocked \u2013 and are feeling even the slightest trepidation about entering the marriage ring \u2013 you may be surprised to find your fears vindicated by\u00a0Riding English<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 and Jumping to Some New Conclusions<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/em>In this reflection on words related to relationships, which composes the Post Script of this engaging book of photography and philosophy, you\u2019ll behold some old words in a new light that may illuminate your reservations along with others that offer some useful solutions.<\/p>\n

Riding English<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0reveals what happens when words with no apparent foundation for a lasting relationship get attached to each other like sonic soul mates. Through numerous examples of this \u2018Homonym FUNomenon,\u2019 author Laurel Airica demonstrates how some anagrams and puns function like linguistic Freudian slips that offer an insider\u2019s look at our outlook on life while others are the Secret PathWords that point toward lasting happiness.
\n\u200b
\nGiven that humans are\u00a0Heard<\/strong>\u00a0animals \u2013 regularly wrangled by sound bites to take certain actions \u2013 it\u2019s intriguing to discover in\u00a0Horsing Around<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0just \u2018what\u2019s in a word\u2019 beyond its surface\u00a0deaf<\/strong>-initions.\u00a0 Given that many sounds are saddled with assorted\u00a9<\/a>\u00a0unheard meanings, you\u2019ll come away from this book with a new understanding of why people cry on the day you say \u2018Eye Dew<\/strong>.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Back Cover Text<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

According to a recent Gallop Poll, couples who are hot to trot down the bridal path would do well to rein in their fanciful notions of marriage as one long, blissful roll in the hay.<\/p>\n

Those who stay hitched for the long haul are the ones who are ready \u2013 right at the starting gate \u2013 to jump every hurdle in tandem and to clear all the obstacles life brings their way.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Horsing Around\u00a0<\/em>and its companion essay on wordplay,\u00a0Riding English \u2013 and Jumping to Some New Conclusions\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 you\u2019ll discover:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • How to fully enjoy your own animal nature without running wild, turning into a beast or ending up in the doghouse;<\/li>\n
  • What it takes to become a bonded pair that happily mates for life; and<\/li>\n
  • The ultimate secret for becoming a winner in the Human Race.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Laurel Airica is the creator of\u00a0WordMagic: An Enchanted Literary Entertainment<\/em><\/strong>. An innovative educator, versifier, and performance artist, she asserts that language is not merely grammatical but Holo-Grammatical as well. Thus, \u201cusing the curiosities of English as a mirror in which to view our own idiosyncratic natures and presumptions of reality is like peering through a magic lens that makes the obvious suddenly visible.\u201d\u00a0Horsing Around\u00a0<\/em>is the first publication of WordMagic Global Publishing, Ink.
