Brief Description:
Welcome to Sugarville: A Novel in Stories

Topics to Discuss:
My book
Creative writing in general

1.What is the name of the book and when was it published?
Welcome to Sugarville: A Novel in Stories will be published on April 9 in softcover, ebook, and audiobook formats following the book launch at The Carter Center in Atlanta. I recorded the audiobook myself after turning our daughter’s old closet into a recording studio, and ACX recently approved the files for upload to Audible.com.

2.What’s the book’s first line?
The first line of the first story is “Dr. Albert Cole woke up thirsty,” which serves as a metaphor for the spiritual paucity of the protagonist. Kurt Vonnegut once said “Make your characters want something right away even if it's only a glass of water.” I decided to take that advice literally.

3.What’s the book about? Give us the “pitch”.
Welcome to Sugarville, a town where fantasy meets reality and visitors take journeys of the imagination into the unknown. J. J. Haas stuns and delights with this engaging collection of linked stories.

4.What inspired you to write the book? A particular person? An event?
My primary inspiration for writing fiction is the black humor of Kurt Vonnegut and Flannery O’Connor. I particularly like the surface simplicity of their writing coupled with the deeper metaphorical and ironic meaning. I modeled the structure of my collection on Sherwood Anderson’s book Winesburg, Ohio, with each story set in the mythical town of Sugarville, Georgia. Thematically, all of the characters embark on spiritual journeys to find themselves, and each story contains a fantastic element that heightens the drama.

5.What’s the main reason someone should really read this book?
People should be interested in reading my book because it will make them laugh and give them something to think about. I hope they’ll take away a renewed interest in examining their own lives by vicariously experiencing the events in this book through the eyes of my characters. While fantasy stories are typically set in an imagined past and science-fiction stories are typically set in an imagined future, these stories are set in a re-imagined present that sheds light on the spiritual dilemmas of our time.

6.(*For fictional titles only) What's the most distinctive thing about the main character? Who-real or fictional-would you say the character reminds you of?
I affectionately refer to the characters in my book as my “Sugarvillains.” They aren’t really bad people at all, but lost souls searching for meaning and dignity in their lives with sometimes comic, sometimes tragic results. All of the characters are based on people I’ve met in real life, but the names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Dream On 3, Enduring Hearts and Serv International on NonProfits Radio

Brief Description of Product or Service:
Dream On 3 is a non-profit organization, and our mission is to make dreams come true for children (ages 5-21) with chronic illnesses, intellectual and developmental disabilities, or life-altering conditions by creating experiences of joy and magic through the world of sports.

Carolyn Salvador
Executive Director, Enduring Hearts

Before I went to work for Enduring Hearts, a 501 C3 non-profit started here in Ga, I thought that a heart transplant was the "cure". I had no idea that a transplant was only a bridge to life and that on average a heart transplant lasted only 10-12 years.

Image a child with heart failure, waiting for another child to die so they can get their new heart. It is really unthinkable as a parent. Although congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect, impacting 1 out of 1000 children, very little research has been put forth around children with heart disease and specifically those that have late stage failure and need a heart transplant.

Enduring Hearts is funding innovative pediatric heart transplant research nationally to help make that transplant the cure and give children the chance to live long happy lives. In fact our scientific advisory committee has identified $3.1M that they believe we need to fund over the next several years to answer questions that can save lives.

Brief Description of Product or Service:
Enduring Hearts is the only organization dedicated solely to funding pediatric heart transplant research to help children with heart failure have the chance to live longer, healthier lives.

Adili Kea, Chief Development Officer
SERV INTERNATIONAL

I engage communities to build a bridge between resources and need by creating opportunities to make life saving impact locally and internationally.

I partner with people to deliver life saving resources locally and internationally. 1.2 million meals served in East Africa in 2018 and 933 boxes of food delivered to families in need in Georgia through our local efforts.

Brief Description of Product or Service:
We deliver relief food to remote villages around the world

SERV INTERNATIONAL: WE ARE ALL ABOUT GIVING PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE LIFE IN A WHOLE NEW WAY.

Mission: We use food as a platform to share God's love and transform lives.

Vision: To physically and spiritually feed people and develop stronger communities in some of the most remote regions in the world.

How: SERV has used food as a platform to share God's love since 2000. For the past 18 years, SERV has kept its focus on food, but it has led to so much more. We build relationships with people who live in some of the most extreme conditions on the planet, and we keep going back, providing clean water, shelter, education, protection from human trafficking and so much more.
We invite you to join us on a mission trip to personally experience life in a whole new way. You will never be the same after traveling with us to the ends of the earth and beyond, serving others in need and reaching the lost. Don't want to travel that far? You can sponsor a child at our House of Hope orphanage, volunteer with us or become a partner or underwriter to help us further our reach. There are so many ways you can make a difference. You can start today!

Hosted by: Rich Casanova
Rich Casanova began his broadcasting career in California’s central valley at KSKS-FM. While in California he also ran a successful entertainment company whose staff and crew entertained over 100,000 people. After moving to Atlanta and selling his entertainment company, Casanova ventured into publishing as the Publisher and Franchise Owner of Coffee News, headquartered in Bangor, ME.

Later became the Founder and CCO, Chief Connection Officer, of an online platform where local business professionals register to receive a free list of the top 100 networking events in metro Atlanta.

With a name like Casanova and his gregarious personality, Rich was a natural as a music radio DJ. "I got the radio bug early in my career and often thought how great it would be if there was an opportunity to participate in a talk radio format with a pro-business perspective interviewing thought leaders from the local business community." Thus was born the Pro Business Channel where Rich is the CoFounder and Chief Visionary Officer.

Dream On 3, Enduring Hearts and Serv International on NonProfits Radio

Michelle Cline, Executive Director

Dream On 3

After 22 years as a public educator (high school teacher and principal), Michelle found the perfect vehicle to truly impact the culture of high schools. As the Executive Director of Dream On 3, she combines her doctorate in educational leadership, her practical experience of working within schools, and her passion for impacting change.

Brief Description of Product or Service:

Dream On 3 is a non-profit organization, and our mission is to make dreams come true for children (ages 5-21) with chronic illnesses, intellectual and developmental disabilities, or life-altering conditions by creating experiences of joy and magic through the world of sports. We also believe that anything is possible when you have a team of community sponsors, healthcare providers, schools, and professional/collegiate athletes huddled around you.

Executive Director, Enduring Hearts

Before I went to work for Enduring Hearts, a 501 C3 non-profit started here in Ga, I thought that a heart transplant was the "cure". I had no idea that a transplant was only a bridge to life and that on average a heart transplant lasted only 10-12 years.

Image a child with heart failure, waiting for another child to die so they can get their new heart. It is really unthinkable as a parent. Although congenital heart defects are the most common birth defect, impacting 1 out of 1000 children, very little research has been put forth around children with heart disease and specifically those that have late stage failure and need a heart transplant.

Enduring Hearts is funding innovative pediatric heart transplant research nationally to help make that transplant the cure and give children the chance to live long happy lives. In fact our scientific advisory committee has identified $3.1M that they believe we need to fund over the next several years to answer questions that can save lives.

Brief Description of Product or Service:

Enduring Hearts is the only organization dedicated solely to funding pediatric heart transplant research to help children with heart failure have the chance to live longer, healthier lives.

SERV INTERNATIONAL

I engage communities to build a bridge between resources and need by creating opportunities to make life saving impact locally and internationally.

I partner with people to deliver life saving resources locally and internationally. 1.2 million meals served in East Africa in 2018 and 933 boxes of food delivered to families in need in Georgia through our local efforts.

Brief Description of Product or Service:

We deliver relief food to remote villages around the world

SERV INTERNATIONAL: WE ARE ALL ABOUT GIVING PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE LIFE IN A WHOLE NEW WAY.

Mission: We use food as a platform to share God's love and transform lives.

Vision: To physically and spiritually feed people and develop stronger communities in some of the most remote regions in the world.

How: SERV has used food as a platform to share God's love since 2000. For the past 18 years, SERV has kept its focus on food, but it has led to so much more. We build relationships with people who live in some of the most extreme conditions on the planet, and we keep going back, providing clean water, shelter, education, protection from human trafficking and so much more.

We invite you to join us on a mission trip to personally experience life in a whole new way. You will never be the same after...
