Being with Ron Ash with Elizabeth Bushey

Today's Guest: Elizabeth Bushey Elizabeth Williams Bushey is a writer, illustrator, musician, fine art photographer, and the creator of InklessTales.com, the award-winning website for kids – endorsed by the American Library Association, the Internet Public Library, the Encyclopedia Britannica, and Reading Is Fundamental (RIF). InklessTales.com receives about 2 million hits from all over the world, and is translated into 50 to 100 languages, as kids around the world watch her funny, educational videos, read her hilarious stories and poems and play the fun learning games on the site – all of which she created herself. The companion site, InklessTunes.com, features her all-original music for children – which she calls “alternative” music for kids, and offers everything from Motown-style to smooth jazz tunes. In concert, she brings the audience up to sing and play instruments with her. She herself plays a Fender Strat, a Les Paul custom Epiphone, and more. (Yeah: “She’s gone electric.”) A former newspaper columnist for a major NY daily newspaper, Elizabeth also runs an adult non-fiction humor blog, at www.looknoreallylook.com, which was recently awarded a “Best of 2010 Non-Fiction Blog Award.” Her frank, satiric look at life, news, and relationships has resulted in a new book: The Secret, Closely-Guarded Girl Manual, published by Revolution Press, and now available on Kindle at Amazon.com, is an essential, funny, common sense translation guide to male-female communication. Without any man-bashing, Elizabeth manages to expose the “secret” rules women have lived by for too many years and bring to light some common misunderstandings between men and women in a very funny way. Elizabeth currently lives in northern California, but also has a home in NY, and her family lives in Covington, GA.
