I’m excited to announce a new book is published in July 2022 that features 28 authors I am proud to say are part of my network called, Women of Words. This compilation includes prose encompassing romance, adventure, and even science fiction. Readers will be charmed, entertained and inspired by this collection of stories featuring characters and sites in Minnesota. The anthology is published by Kirk House Publishers. My short story, The Final Game, was inspired by my niece who plays softball and my daughter, a nurse technician, who volunteered as a Hospice visitor to patients who appreciated her attention. When she nor the facility could locate a patient assigned to her for a rotating visit, I was astounded that patient “Mary” was missing! You can find out what happened to Mary by ordering the book. You’ll also discover what happened to a medicine woman, a lonely widow who discovered a way to heal, a 25-year-old who had a computer implant, campers who needed a detective to capture a fugitive, and grandmother farmer who discovers a newfound joy at 90. You can order the book on this website, or contact me with your order and pay via Venmo among other options. Below is a way to pay with any credit card or PayPal account, and the total includes shipping and tax.
