My memoir essay, "School Days," will appear in the From the Porch Swing anthology to be released by Silver Boomer Books later in 2010. It recalls how I played "school" as a child with my 74-year-old grandfather and what I learned from him.
Hi Janet ~ I'm looking forward to reading your 'school days' essay about what you learned from your grandfather. Is the anthology out yet? In teaching my young students, I gather examples to share with them about how we get writing ideas from all areas of life. Focusing to a single family person will help them connect/generate their own topics. A springboard.
Hi Katya, Yes, the anthology is out. You can read about it and order it at http://silverboomerbooks.com. You can also get it at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com.
Since 2004, I have written magazine articles, essays, flash fiction, and media releases and been published over 100 times. Prior to that, I wrote technical documentation and user manuals.
My work has appeared in anthologies and national magazines as well as on various web sites.
