A Visit from Past Experiences

I love to write in many genres from humor, mysteries to writings covering history.  The written word has been my love for many years.  The writing of my book "Remnants of a Shattered Past: A Journey of Discovery and Hope" has also served as a catharsis for me and I hope this work will provide healing and a future filled with more life satisfaction for many people.  This book served as a springboard from my original work, my masters thesis.  Like many others, I have been interested in the history of my ancestors.  First, I delved into the childhood's of elders who were members of three different tribes in Michigan for my thesis. Then I decided to expand my horizons and meet with Indian people from across the river in Canada.  Through many poignant interviews I discovered information about the lives of many Native American people.  A people who possess rich stories about their own history. 

I am going to share with my readers some of the high points from those interviews as well as excerpts from some of my other written works.  "Beyond Historical Trauma" is in the process of being completed.  I have compiled a series of short stories that were written by using a morphorlogical grid. 
This grid was completed with the help of other family members, mostly my adult children.  They helped me come up with characters, plots, barriers, and settings.  These stories were prepared and provided to my father who was suffering from serious health problems.  He was having difficulty reading books so I thought he could read read short stories.  He found a lot of enjoyment when he was reading those stories. 

Again, I love the written word and look forward to providing you with a host of things to enjoy.
