So Honored to be Included in the October Issue of

The Relatable Voice Magazine

The RV podcast -- host Lucia Matuonto drives her guests around in a virtual RV -- has been quite successful in the last year, so to celebrate, they have decided to expand into magazine publishing. Just like the podcast, it will cover a variety of topics, but more specifically: relatable topics. It will also be a way to access all the podcast episodes, and get to know its guests even further. This was a way for creator Lucia Matuonto to give back to her listeners and build on The RV community.

Ina is proud to have a new short story created for the October issue, titled,

"If Only Fiona Cat would do her job."

The issue is aimed at giving readers something to smile about. A noble objective in today's chaotic times, right? Thanks, Lucia Matuanto, for inviting me to participate. It is truly an honor to be included among the fascinating, and varied writers on this ride.

YOU ARE WHO YOU EAT, The Revolutionary New Cannibal Diet artist Dedini honored in exhibit at cartoon museum

The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum Dedini Exhibit, February 13 – May 22, 2016

Columbus, Ohio, February 23, 2016 – Eldon Dedini, the late Esquire, Playboy, The New Yorker and Disney cartoonist whose work lavishly illustrates the new book, You Are Who You Eat, is being honored by the Billy Ireland Library & Museum at Ohio State University at the exhibit entitled, “Dedini: The Art of Humor." Damon Jaggers, Director, says of the Ireland:

I see our mission is as one that brings to light the contributions of artists to the culture of our community.

Ina Silvert Hillebrandt, author of You Are Who You Eat, says about Dedini and the exhibit:

Eldon was a delightful man. Not only funny and terrifically talented as an artist, he was also a generous, warm human being. I am honored to have the book included in the Dedini collection by Jenny Robb, Curator, and the other folks at the Ireland. And I like to think that though he is not here to see the fruits of his labors on our project in the flesh, Eldon is up there somewhere, smiling. And dining well.

Pawpress is proud to announce the birth of our new book YOU ARE WHO YOU EAT, The Revolutionary new cannibal diet

Cartoons, Jokes and Diet Tips for the Cannibal – and Civilian -- Connoisseur

Los Angeles, CA, February 1, 2016– Book Release Date: June 8, 2016. What is You Are Who You Eat? Tongue in cheek diet and lifestyle tips by former chubby pre-teen-cum-Weight-Watchers-consultant Ina Silvert Hillebrandt, with social satire and cannibal jokes by Hillebrandt and her Uncle Dan. Plus, a liberal dose of never before released cartoons by the late Dedini,  whose art regularly appeared in The New Yorker, Playboy, Esquire and other journals and venues for decades.

The book is intended to share real diet tips with readers, but more importantly, to make people laugh. Which in reality author Hillebrandt feels is also a great weight control tool. To quote her:

I love it when I can help people who come up to me with questions such as, ‘What’s the right food for a young athlete before a game?’ Answer: ‘We’ve learned that carbo loading is important for enhancing an athlete’s performance. So I’d suggest something starchy, like a Nun.’
