<p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt"><strong><span>Lakewood’s Secret Gem: Dr. Gary Allen Marmolya, author and photographer guides budding writers</span></strong><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><br><br></span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Ask most area bookstore, art gallery or coffeehouse owners about Dr. Marmolya and you’ll see a smile slide across his or her face as they relate their experience meeting him. “Oh, I’m very familiar with his work, The Gems of The Emerald Necklace” a local librarian smiled. She enthusiastically went to say his books had even made their way overseas into the hands of readers abroad.<br>
<br>With his infectious laugh, dry wit and silver beard, when Dr. Marmolya walks into a room, people notice. “I once was cast in a movie once because I looked the part of a Russian bad guy,” he laughed at his experience being unexpectedly placed in a big budget Hollywood film. However, the long time resident of Lakewood has been pursuing his love of photography, authoring books and lecturing for over 30 years all while practicing radiology. “I always admired famous medical professionals who also took time to carry out writing careers, many such as the poet William Carlos Williams or the more notable novelist, Michael Crichton who went on to create movies and hit shows like<em><span> E.R.</span></em><br>
<br>Dr. Marmolya, whose books and unique station<span style="COLOR: black">e</span>ry are found in Joseph-Beth’s Book Sellers and Borders, often gets many questions from friends, neighbors or even people he meets in a grocery store line about writing. “I’ve learned by trail and error,” Dr. Marmolya said continuing,” Since college, I’ve just kept writing and publishing--everything from poetry to scientific articles. I’ve also attended many workshops and conferences to learn about the industry and become a better writer.” He went on to recall one of his favorite conference experiences, listening to keynote speaker, Mary Higgins Clark. “I stood in line for what seemed like HOURS just to get an autographed book for my Mother!”<br>
<br>As he works on his next book about weight-loss, Dr. Marmolya prepares for his debut with The Writers Gathering, a group that brings resources to local authors and soon to be authors. “I’m really excited about it,” says Dr. Marmolya,” I want to give new writers the real scoop on what it takes to accomplish their writing goals regardless of genre; and maybe even get that book or script deal they’ve always wanted!”<br>
<br>Join Dr. Gary Allen Marmolya, <strong><span>Saturday June 6th from 10 am to 1 pm at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church & Conference Center, 20401 Hilliard Blvd., Rocky River, Ohio 44116 for </span></strong><em><b><u><span>A CONVERSATION WITH PUBLISHED AUTHOR GARY ALLEN MARMOLYA: GOING FROM AN IDEA TO A BOOK DEAL!</span></u></b></em> Dr. Marmolya will share helpful resources, insight and humor in an open discussion on writing your own success story without quitting your day job. The author encourages local writers to invest in this exciting opportunity to learn how to realistically maximize the chance of finishing and publishing a book. Even non-writers may enjoy the many quotes and stories of admonishment and inspiration. A writer’s resource guide, giveaways as well as beverages and snacks will be provided.</span> </p>
