Good Morning!

Good morning everyone:  Just a quick note to tell you how much I have enjoyed your poetry. I'm afraid my poetry writing has been neglected (I'm a lazy writer anyhow) as I spend my free time working on my two books.  AND THE WIND SHALL ALWAYS BLOW is the story of the life of Wickess who moved from a large town to teach in a one-room school on the rural prairie in 1929.  There she married Slim and together they had a family and endured the hardships and trials of rural prairie life.  This book is finished and in the computer for corrections.  The sequal is CHILD OF THE WIND.  This book is written by one of her daughters, Callie, who is a writer.  After the death of Wickess, Callie writes of life as a child growing up on the rural prairie.

I'm sure neither book is a Masterpiece or Best Seller, but I have truly enjoyed the time spent writing them .  And they are full of the tribulations, love and lives of our parents and grandparents as they sacrificed to give the next generation a better life.  The books are fiction but contain a lot of facts about life in another generation.  To write these books was a bit daunting for me as I have never lived on a farm or the prairie.  I grew up in a small town in Middle America.  I have, however, taken a lot of experiences from my life and incorporated them into these two books.

It will still be some time before these books are completely finished and go to the publisher.  Sometimes I wonder if they will every be finished, but I'm working on it.
