\"\"After I completed Tasman<\/em>, I promised my husband I’d take a break from writing, but that was a HUGE fib. In actuality, I had been writing a memoir for my family for the last few years and this past Christmas was my due date to have it finished and published for them.<\/p>\n

It all began strangely. I started thinking about all the changes to daily life across my decades and, when I had nothing from my novels to share with my writing group, I’d write about one of my remembrances so I could be an active contributor when we met. Interestingly enough, those short blurbs seemed to create remembrances for my fellow writers so I kept writing them. Finally I decided to create a small book for my family’s amusement (at my potential embarrassment). They seem to enjoy finding new information on me hidden in the pages.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, I found myself enjoying looking back. I rounded up a few photos and, swish…all 145 pages of Small Town Girl<\/em> were done, thanks to my wonderful web person Julie’s design skills.<\/p>\n

If any of you wish to know more about those growing up years of my long ago, let me know. I’d love to share a laugh and a remembrance or two with you. Contact me via this website or on Facebook and I’ll mail you a copy ($7 via PayPal includes shipping).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
