Interview With Author Larry Nouvel

 

 

1. What inspired you to write Quiet Valor: What Lies Between Us. True Stories of Dogs, Cats, and People, and What Passes Between Them? My daughter, Michelle, suggested it. She knew before I did that it should be written. I spent most of my working life inventing products for dogs and cats. That meant watching closely what frightened an animal and what calmed it. When I began writing the Quiet Valor series, the two worlds kept finding each other. This book puts them together. Each chapter tells a true story of a person and an animal who earned each other's trust, then explains what was happening inside both of them.  

2. What exactly is it about and who is it written for? It is about the bond between people and their companion animals, told through true stories and the science underneath them. You meet Sheba, a dog who spent three years in a shelter before the right family came. You meet Caroline Hagedorn, who spent years earning the trust of a feral tomcat she named Meatie. And you meet Eric O'Grey, whose shelter dog, Peety, walked him into a new life. Between the stories, I explain what stress does to an animal and what calms it. One example is the gaze between a dog and its owner, which raises oxytocin in both. It is written for anyone who has loved an animal and wondered what was going on behind its eyes. You do not need a science background.  

3. What do you hope readers will get out of reading your book? I hope they look at their own dog or cat differently. Much of what we call bad behavior is fear, and fear can be understood and eased. I also hope they notice that the people in these stories had no special training. They paid attention. They kept showing up. Anyone can do that.  

4. How did you decide on your book's title and cover design? The title is the question at the center of the book. Something passes between a person and an animal, and it builds into trust. Science can measure some of it. The rest we can only describe. The cover shows a golden dog and a tabby cat facing each other. Between them, a hand holds out a small glowing lantern, the symbol of the Quiet Valor series.  

5. What advice or words of wisdom do you have for fellow writers, other than run!? Start, no matter your age. I began at 82. Write from the record. Every story in my books comes from published reports, and readers can check them. Keep your paragraphs short and let the facts carry the feeling. If you would not say a sentence out loud to a friend, cut it. 

6. What trends in the book world do you see, and where do you think the book publishing industry is heading? Readers want true stories they can trust. With so much online that cannot be verified, I think nonfiction that shows its sources will matter more. I also see authors building their own readership. I share true stories on Facebook regularly, and those readers have become the audience for my books. 

7. Were there experiences in your personal life or career that came in handy when writing this book? Almost all of them. As a chemist and animal scientist, I have handled hundreds of animals, and I am still a student of them. My work on pheromones, the chemical signals animals use to reassure one another, is part of the science in this book. Lecturing to veterinary students and groomers taught me to explain that science in plain words.  

8. How would you describe your writing style? Which writers or books is your writing similar to? Plain and direct. I use real names and give facts the reader can check, and I do not invent what anyone was thinking. Every chapter pairs a documented story with the science that explains it. The sources are listed at the end of each chapter.  

9. What challenges did you overcome in the writing of this book? The hardest part was getting the science right without burying the stories. I checked every scientific claim against the original research and removed anything I could not confirm. The other challenge was restraint. The animals and their people had to speak for themselves. My job was to get out of the way.  

10. If people can buy or read one book this week or month, why should it be yours? Because it will change how you see the animal on your couch. You will understand what it needs from you, and what it gives back. You will also meet people who gave an animal a second chance and never asked for credit. It is a book of true stories and real science, written for anyone who has ever loved a dog or a cat.  

About The Author: Larry Nouvel is a chemist and animal scientist in Plano, Texas. He founded LNouvel, Inc. and the UnRuffled Pets® line of pheromone-based calming products for dogs and cats. He has spent decades in pheromone research and is a co-inventor on patents for calming technologies, including 2M2B, the rabbit mammary pheromone. He has lectured at veterinary schools and grooming conferences. He began writing books less than a year ago, at 82, and has since completed the ten books of the Quiet Valor® series.

Interview With Canary Publishing Editor-in-Chief Howard Lovy On Publishing Jewish Voices

 

1.  What type of books/genres does Canary Publishing publish? Adult fiction and nonfiction by Jewish, Israeli, and Zionist writers — literary fiction and narrative nonfiction, mostly. We don’t publish children’s books, poetry, or academic work. I want good stories. Writers keep asking me, “Is my book Jewish enough for Canary Publishing?” My answer is a question: What was Jewish enough to have been canceled by the mainstream? A name. A setting. A character who wouldn’t apologize. If it was Jewish enough for them to say no, it’s Jewish enough for us to say yes. It’s a broad tent — religious, secular, Israeli, diaspora, right, left. The one thing we won’t do is ask you to make it less Jewish. You’ve got the rest of the industry for that.  

2.  What is your publishing mission? Canary Publishing is a home for authentic Jewish voices, bringing their stories to readers everywhere. We are a nonprofit trade press, and we are unapologetically Jewish and Zionist. Since October 7, 2023, publishers and agents have told too many Jewish writers that “now is not the time” for their stories. We believe now is exactly the time. We can say yes when they say no. We take our name from the canary in the coal mine. How a society treats its Jews is the warning sign: when our voices go quiet, the air has turned dangerous for everyone. Our fiction and nonfiction will reflect the breadth of Jewish thought and experience, valuing literary merit over political conformity.  

3.  What is your background -- how did you come to run a publishing company? I’ve spent 40 years in journalism and publishing — as a reporter and editor, and now as a developmental editor and novelist. After October 7, I decided to focus my editing on Jewish and Israeli manuscripts. So, I had a front-row seat as Jewish voices were sidelined in the literary world. I learned it firsthand, too. When I was shopping my own novel around, I kept reading on agents’ websites that they welcome marginalized voices. It didn’t take me long to learn that they did not mean Jews. I’m a journalist, so my instinct is always to document it. I wrote about the marginalization of Jewish writers for three years, anywhere that would have me. Authors would come up to me after panels to thank me for everything I was doing, and in the back of my mind I’d think: but I haven’t actually done anything. I’ve just pointed out the problem. These writers didn’t need another article about why they couldn’t get published. They needed a publisher. The problem was never a shortage of attention. It was a shortage of yes. In June I published a wish list of what I’d do if I ran a Jewish-friendly publishing company. An organization that shared that vision backed me, and Canary Publishing launched on September 2 under the fiscal sponsorship of Chai Mitzvah, a 501(c)(3).  

4.  What challenges do you believe you will have as a smaller press? The same ones every small press has, plus one of our own. Mainstream publishing houses reach readers through review coverage and bookstore placement, and those doors are largely closed to us. Fine. Our readers didn’t stop reading. They’re organized — in book clubs, Substacks, newsletters, synagogue reading groups, the Jewish Book Council world — and they know where to find each other. That’s not just a community. That’s a distribution network. The other challenge is volume. We received scores of submissions on launch day and hundreds since, and I promised every author a personal reply. We’re a small team, and we’re a nonprofit, so we’re also looking for funding partners who want to build this with us.  

5.  Which books do you plan on publishing first -- and by when? We’re close to signing our first authors. The plan is to launch with two titles, one fiction and one nonfiction, announce them before the end of the year, and publish in 2027. I’m not naming names until the contracts are signed.  

6.  How do you hope to combat anti-Semitism? By publishing. I don’t say that with anger; I say it with clarity. This isn’t only about antisemitism in publishing. It’s about what’s not being written, because writers have been told there’s no support for it and no one agrees the problem exists. A century ago, when Jews were shut out of medical education, we built our own hospitals, and they became so good they became mainstream. That’s not fleeing. That’s Jews doing what we’ve always done. Canary Publishing is a piece of that — a place where a Jewish character isn’t there to apologize for existing. If Philip Roth or Saul Bellow were starting out today, shopping a manuscript full of unapologetically Jewish life, they’d be rejected. Not because the writing wasn’t brilliant. Because now is not the time. We exist so that isn’t the end of the story.  

7.  What can be done to increase book readership and the literacy rate in the United States? I can only speak to my corner of it. The conventional wisdom in publishing is that Jewish books don’t sell, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy: the books don’t get bought, so they don’t get published, so there’s nothing to sell. Jews buy books. When Rachel Goldberg-Polin’s and Eli Sharabi’s books hit the New York Times bestseller list, that wasn’t a fluke — and neither one was a Holocaust memoir. If you want people to read, publish what they want to read and keep it in print. When readers can’t find it on the local shelf, they head straight into the arms of Amazon.  

8.  As America celebrates 250, where do you feel we are in terms of book bans and free speech? The book bans that make the news are the loud ones — a school board, a library, a list. The ones I deal with are quiet. Nobody announces that a book has been banned. An agent stops returning calls. A publisher backs out. A manuscript is quietly shelved. I’ve seen a book’s promotional copy list “Zionism” among its trigger warnings, right alongside domestic violence and suicide. That’s a ban without the paperwork. Jewish writers have been woven into the fabric of American culture for most of those 250 years. That place is no longer secure. Doors that were open have quietly closed, and books that would once have found a publisher now go unread. We are witnessing the erasure of Jewish perspectives from the marketplace of ideas — a disaster not only for Jewish literature but for society as a whole. 

9.  Where do you feel the book industry is heading? The old publishing model is slow by design. I spent years working with independent authors through the Alliance of Independent Authors, and what I saw there is where the industry is going: writers who move quickly and stay close to their readers. Canary Publishing is built that way — print-on-demand, no big print runs, no warehouse, no waiting for a bookstore to decide whether to take a chance on a Jewish book. We can keep books available, respond to demand, and build momentum title by title. The other direction is the one I’m betting on: readers organizing themselves. The grassroots Jewish literary world — the book clubs, the Substacks, the newsletters — didn’t exist in this form three years ago. The mainstream decided these readers didn’t matter. They found each other anyway.

10 Website Tips for Authors Seeking Clicks & Sales

 

1.      Your website must be easy to find. The name of it should not be long. It should be easy to say and spell. You can have a few different domains that lead to the same site - one with your name or your name plus “author” or “writer” attached to it, such as Jane Doe Writer or Bob black Author. If you have a book series, use that name as your site’s domain name. Or, use the name of an individual book. Or something that reflects how people search for things. For instance, if your book is a spy thriller, you could name your site www.spythrillerbook.com, since people may search for “spy thrillers.” Maybe people, search for “great spy thrillers,” so capitalize on it and name your site as close as you can to that search term.

2.             Ensure that your site is easy to use and navigate. This means have a tool bar that reflects what is and should be on your site. The tool bar headlines should make sense. Most author websites need these on their tool bar: 

 

Home - landing page of the site

About or Bio - a biography and a photo of yourself

Book(s) - about your book, purchase links, book excerpts, reviews, and testimonials

Contact - include your social media handles and a grid for messages 

Events - list of past and upcoming appearances/ presentations 

Media - list links shared of news media coverage 

Blog or podcast or newsletter—your access to your own blog, podcast, or newsletter 

3.                  Your site must have plenty of margin space, a readable typeface (avoid italics, all CAPS), a default font of 12-point and 20-point of bigger size for headlines. It cannot be cluttered and it may benefit from breaking the width of the screen into a few columns. People don’t want to have to read chunky clunks of text - break it up into fewer, smaller paragraphs. Use bullet points and insert images to break up a screen of words.

4.                  Your site has to be mobile-friendly and also look right on a desktop/laptop. Don’t ignore that.

5.                  Keep it fresh. Always update it, revise the look, and don’t let things age poorly. Your last blog post should not be dated from four months ago. An event that is listed as happening in the future, but that took place already, should be listed in the past tense. 

6.                  Avoid hype or lies. People can see through that.

7.                  Make sure it is not littered with factual errors, bad spellings, or buttons that click to nowhere. It has to look right and function properly. 

8.                  Think about what your site seeks to convey. To set the right tone and message that you seek to share, look at things like your: 

 

·         Website design

·         Writing tone

·         Information clarity

·         Readability

·         Color schemes

·         Number/ types of images used

9.                  Give something away, both to lead to people into signing up for your mailing list and for the content to inspire people to want to read more. This giveaway is used to capture people’s names but it can also serve as an audition for newcomers to see what a good writer you are. 

10.               Lastly, have content, like a blog, on your site, so that you can share links to it on your social media. You want a site that gets clicks, and the best way to invite visitors is to share things that others can click on and connect them to your site.

What Makes For A Really Good Book?

What I have always enjoyed about a good, well-written novel is that through the art of fiction, pure truths about the world or the human condition are shared, insightfully and powerfully. The plot, setting, and character development — though collectively important to a book’s appeal — are all a distant second to a writer’s ability to capture something that resonates so purely and authentically with the reader. It is the silent parts of our lives, the thoughts and feelings that we often ball up inside of us, that feel heard and validated when someone else states exactly how we see things. It is in the reading, and often re-reading, of these flashes of agreed-upon reality that we feel understood, accepted, and most importantly, are no longer alone.
