Hello. I am the author of the Historical Fiction novel called Mamie Garrison. It is a tale of slavery, abolition, romance and history, set in the years just prior to the Civil War. It is available on Kindle for .99 and on Kindle Unlimited; also in paperback.
Mamie Garrison has a dual storyline. The present day story involves Bella and Andrew finding Mamie's journals. Their story includes romance and paranormal aspects. Mamie's story follows her adventures as an abolitionist through her journals. There are some mysteries as well as an unusual background in Mamie's life.
I am 59 and married with one adult child and one grandchild.
I have always enjoyed the written word and have been a voracious reader from my early youth.
I am inspired by many authors in the historical fiction genre. I am also a lover of Russian literature, particularly Tolstoy and Doestoyefsky. I find great inspiration for creating characters by looking at the ones these two authors have created. There is such a depth to them.
I have written for most of my life in one form or another. I have dabbled in poetry and songwriting, and have more started novels than finished ones.
In my free time, I like reading, history and travel. I am interested in genealogy and working on my family tree.
I live in the Midwest United States with my husband, Chris and my dog, Max.
hmm, you are so right…. I took your advice twenty years ago… so much for foresight 😀
I managed to get past page 30 of Daniele Steele’s Daddy after a year of tossing it around in sheer disgust, incredulity and hysterical laughter. Trust me, I don’t treat books like that.. but this one deserved special mention….:D
That said, it really is true. No books need be banned. If you don’t like it, don’t read it. 🙂

Certainly true, that we cannot/should not go back to the days of major censorship but there are still a few countries who prohibit certain book sales.
