Over the spring and summer semester of 2024, The Teaching Press has been hard at work on our latest project, Home Again and Again, written by Dr. Ann Gentry Recine and Louis Recine. This book is a self-help memoir highlighting the importance of finding and fostering the idea of “home” to lead a happy and fulfilled life.

With this project, The Teaching Press has employed two designers: longtime book designer Emily Heling, and newcomer Caleigh Cleary. What was the experience like for a first-time Teaching Press designer? Project Manager Allie Wendricks asked Caleigh all about it!      Continue reading

August 6, 2024 / / 0 Comments

Our summer 2024 project is Home Again and Again: Recollections, Stories, Guideposts by Dr. Ann Gentry Recine and Louis Recine. In this engaging memoir, the authors take readers on a journey through Ann’s life of controlled chaos, faith, and positive perspectives. We had to know more about the duo behind it all , so we  jumped at the chance for an exclusive interview.

Dr. Ann Gentry Recine and Louis Recine

Home Again and Again features a lot of your life in Wisconsin. Do you feel you have found a home here in the badger state?

I think my husband and I proved to ourselves that we were Badgers when we sold our house in Eau Claire and moved away from Wisconsin in the 1990s, to a Southern state—only to move back in nine months. Even though our family experienced amazing Southern hospitality, we deeply regretted selling our Eau Claire East Hill house! We were so viscerally homesick for our neighborhood, that we actually bought the house behind our old house. Yes, I can now see that beloved house with its birch trees and lamp post from the window of the room I am writing in. Sigh! We are at home in a Badger state, in a Badger town, and glad of it.

Home Again and Again: Recollections, Stories, Guideposts by Dr. Ann Gentry Recine and Louis Recine is  our Spring/Summer 2024 Teaching Press project, and it is set to launch on August 10th at @ Roots Art and Wine Gallery in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Maybe I’m biased—I mean, I was the Project Manager for the our Hard-Penned Press editorial and design services for this book. But I think this debut memoir has it all: a local Wisconsin author, guideposts for reader’s self-reflection, some crazy life experiences, humor, science that can translate into real life situations, and personable writing.

In fact, our entire summer Teaching Press staff helped create a Top 10 list of reasons why Home Again and Again should be your next book purchase:

Thankfully, with the bright minds at our printing press, our staff quickly formed a method to create what we now deem as “Foldie-Outtie” books.  Here, we share our secrets.

The signs of spring have arrived at UWGB.  On our Green Bay campus, Peregrine falcons nest atop the David A Cofrin Library.  One pair of falcons began nesting there in 2017 to lay eggs and teach their fledglings to fly. This first falcon couple was named “Mimi” and “Rupert,” and their descendants have now brought three new fledglings into the world.

Through the falcon cam , UW-Green Bay students, staff, and nature lovers all over the planet can enjoy and encourage the growth of this delicate species.  (You can even help name the new chicks each year.)

An imprint is a division of publishing dedicated to specific projects. Mimi  & Rupert Books interlace art and words, voice and image, into finely crafted, collaborative and inspiring stories.  Continue reading
