Heather Maloney hasn't been writing songs for long, but she sounds like an experienced pro on her new self-titled album, out in March on Signature Sounds. The Northampton, Mass., singer and songwriter digs deeper, and roams wider, than she has before on songs populated by vivid characters that ultimately trace their way back to her. "I always said that if I didn't write songs, I'd be covered in tattoos, because every song I write is something I want to remember really badly," Maloney says. She has no ink so far. Instead, Maloney is marking life lessons with music, penning tuneful reminders to herself about the little triumphs of love on "Flutter," the solace of redemption on "Turn Yourself Around" and her firm belief that nothing's colder than trying too hard to be cool, an idea that inspired "Fire for You." Although Maloney's influences are largely rooted in what she calls "adventurous folk," she pushes outward on these 11 songs, adding juicy touches of pop, and a little dash of rock 'n' roll on "Iron Bull," a song she wrote after visiting Zucotti Park during Occupy Wall Street. "It's become more multi-dimensional," she says, a change she credits to the way she approached Heather Maloney. She mostly performed by herself in concert when she made her first two albums, so the recorded songs didn't sound the way they did when she played them live. This time, she road-tested the new material with a band (Ken Maiuri on bass, and J.J. O'Connell on drums), fine-tuning songs as she performed them in front of audiences before heading into the studio. "I love playing with a band," says Maloney, who's even done some co-writing with Maiuri. "It's become an integral part of the music." If there's a typical path to becoming a songwriter, Maloney didn't follow it. Although she went to school for music and had done plenty of singing, she only began writing tunes a few years ago after living and working for three years in a silent-retreat meditation center in central Massachusetts. "The biggest motivating factor in writing was probably the experiences that I was having here in my meditation practice," she says. "There was the difficulty of it, the suffering of it, and wanting to channel that into something creative, and on the positive side, the insights that came out of my experiences." Those experiences proved especially inspirational on "Dirt & Stardust," the folky centerpiece of the album. On one level, it's a song about a rambling woman, an idea whose origins were simple enough: "Who doesn't love songs about ramblers?" Maloney says. "It's adventurous, and heartbreaking, but beautiful." On a deeper level, though, it's a song about embracing impermanence. "I don't want these walls to wall me in forever," Maloney begins, singing with the hint of a quaver in her sweet voice tinged with earthy grit. "Don't want to make my home on fenced-in land. We can buy our lot, we can mark our spot but we're travelers whether we like it or not, so please make my castle out of sand." "It led me back to the meditation practice," she explains. "A large part of what this practice is aiming to get you to recognize is that everything is impermanent, and not only to recognize that, but to be OK with that, and maybe even celebrate that. So in this song I'm trying to express this woman's complicated relationship with impermanence." It's not just an expression of the character's relationship. Like most of Maloney's songs, "Dirt & Stardust" is ultimately about herself, though sometimes her songs are personal in a way that only dawns on her later. "I prefer to start writing like I'm writing about somebody else, and maybe it turns out to be autobiographical," she says. "Sometimes it even happens long after I've written the song and I'm performing it live, and I suddenly feel naked, like, 'Whoa, this is really about me, isn't it?' It's just that I'm in a room full of people when I realize it." It's no surprise that they're increasingly crowded rooms.

Excellent Read. Highly recommend.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I can't believe how much I loved this book. It was so well written, and it kept me interested to the very last page. I couldn't put it down. If you're looking for a coming-of-age book with a lot of twists and turns and some feminism thrown in this book is for you it gave me a lot to think about.
Way to go Deborah Curtis on your first novel. I hope you'll be publishing more.

not too shabby
Format: Kindle
This book reminds me of a Jane Austin novel. She writes like Jane Austin. The author did a good job with realism, life is painful and there was a plethora of that in this book. I do like how it ended even though I’m not a huge fan of Lilys choices. I’m not sure she deserved her ending, she reconciled one tragedy in her life but several others are still waiting for her to take responsibility for. It was worth the read.

You'll want to talk about this read!
Format: Hardcover
Read this novel when it first came out and still thinking and talking about it. Great read for a book club --- each reader may have different take away topics - young love, sisterhood, friendship, forgiveness, motherhood. I just bought several copies to give to some powerhouse women. Keep writing D Curtis. Your Fan.

I was skeptical, but for me, this one works.
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I am usually skeptical of these "improve-your-whatever-with-this" products. But much to my surprise, for me this one lives up to the hype. After about a week, there was as noticeable improvement in my overall memory, especially older memories. My recall is faster, I retain things longer, and learn new things more quickly. As a side benefit, I am also now able to quickly find alternative solutions to everyday problems that come up.

GREAT product!! No complaints at all!
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
So I got this product as an experiment. I don’t like taking prescriptions - but that is just me. I have the most boring job on the planet. And it’s all I can do to make it just through the morning without falling asleep. when I saw this product, I decided to give it a try. I am totally and completely shocked how well this works. It doesn’t make me jittery at all. It just makes me feel alive and alert and ready to roll. And I can focus on the monotonous tasks at my job. When I do take them, I have to take them in the morning. they do last all day - again - this is for me. but I found when I took them in the afternoon, I was still wide awake at 1:00am. Which put a damper on my trying to drag myself out of bed and to work at the most boring job ever.
