October 18th is indeed national necktie day. O.K., maybe not in the U.S. but they’ve officially celebrated the invention of the necktie (or Cravat) in Croatia since 2008, as a means of fostering national pride among their citizens. Croatians believe their mercenary soldiers, in the 1600’s, ushered in the style of wearing ornamental neckwear among Europeans. They did wear some stunning bright red neckwear into battle as a ploy to psyche out their enemies. This led the French sun king, Louis XIV, to begin wearing a lacy cravat at the ripe old age of 7. Soon, his countrymen fell in love with the idea of neckties. The British, then, took to the fashion and ran with it. It was the English love for brandishing cloth ties about their necks that ultimately spread the trend around the globe, even to the New World. American necks of every persuasion, from gentleman to common man, were soon adorned with the neckwear. Many still are today. ….Read More

Author Bio |
I'm Sybrina. Once upon a time I wanted to be a writer more than anything in the world. I could tell stories with the best of them, so I just knew I could write well, too. Funny thing about writing, though...it's nothing like telling a story. I bet you've noticed that, too. I'd even go as far as to bet there have been times...plenty of them, when you've been writing along just fine, then suddenly, you hit a brick wall over how to describe the simplest thing. 25 years ago, there wasn't anything much available other than Webster's Dictionary or Roget's Thesaurus and a couple of synonym and antonym books. So, I decided I'd start to put together what I was looking for, myself. Those were the prehistoric days, before p.c.'s. Each bit of information I gathered was tediously placed behind index tabs in spiral notebooks...lots of notebooks and tons of tabs. It very quickly became a monstrous task.…….Read More

Interview by Jenn Andrews
When and why did you begin writing?
I first began thinking of writing before I could actually spell. There was always something in me urging me to make up stories. My first writings were poetry and song lyrics. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s before I started working on my first book.
What inspired you to write your first book?

Interview by Voicu Mihnea Simandan
Voicu Mihnea Simandan: You recently created and self-published Learn To Tie A Tie With The Rabbit And The Fox – Story With Instructional Song (2012). Where did you get the idea to create a how-to book of this type for children? Sybrina Durant: Believe it or not, it all started way back in 1985! That’s when I first had a need to learn to tie a tie. Someone, actually a salesman in a menswear store, told me about the rabbit and the fox method of tying a tie. It was such a cute story that was so easy to remember, it just stuck with me. As time went by, I realized there were all kinds of books with illustrations and later, websites with videos showing how to tie a tie but strangely that simple little story was nowhere to be found. I decided I had to fill that niche! After all, there were already children’s picture books for learning to tie shoe laces so I believed people would have an interest in picture books teaching other types of knots as well. ….Read More

Interview by LadyD
What was your aim for this book? What did you want readers to think and feel when reading it? I wanted to take a seemingly complicated task and make it simple for anyone of any age – even for little kids. I want parents and children to have fun learning together because after all, like me back then, many young parents today don’t know how to tie a tie. I want everyone who follows the tale of the fox chasing the rabbit through the forest to have a sense of accomplishment and pride for mastering something that requires some manual dexterity. Not all hand to eye coordination has to be experienced with video games..….Read More
