WINNING THIS AWARD
Is a big deal for this small town, Midwestern grandma. I am thrilled that my debut novel, Rise on Eagles' Wings, has been honored with this recognition. If you read and enjoy the book, I invite you to write a brief review on Amazon, Goodreads, BookBub or other site. I appreciate you!
When was the last time you sent or received a real letter?
letters in the mail
A hundred-year-old Midwestern friend told me that from the mid-1930s until 1950, the USPS delivered mail to her home twice a day, and sometimes three times daily before Christmas. In the 21st century, it's still a pleasure to hold a real letter penned by hand. I hope my novel will feel as tangible to you.
