Take 175 years of a small village, throw in some anecdotes, pictures, maps, aerials, and newspaper articles, and you will see what compiler and editor Marion L. Cornett comes up for two local history books. The Fowlerville Chronicles has actually sold out–more may be printed so be sure to check back. Through the Eyes of a Country Editor helps to tell the history of Fowlerville from 1874-1929, through the wit and wisdom of G.L. Adams, editor and publisher of The Fowlerville Review.
My passion is history during the early 1900s and doing research to gain more insight and knowledge prompted me to compile these two self-published books. And now, I’m onto more writing, with the recently-released Juniper and Anise, a fictional story based on events that took place during the United States’ Prohibition Era. I’m working on a companion novel set during the same time period.
When I’m not writing, my day job is commercial embroidery, which I’ve done for nearly 20 years. Love to read, write, exercise, socialize, and be a part of the internet social media.
Born to be creative, loves to write–that’s my motto.
FRIDAY SPOTLIGHT & GIVEAWAY 7/29/16 – Paulette Forshey, is our guest author today. I have known Paulette as a virtual friend for a number of years. I first learned about Paulette when I lived in Ohio and I searched out other Ohio authors. While we did not live too far apart, regrettably we never got to meet in person. I have followed Paulette over the years and bought some of her books, too! She is an award-winning romance writer, with beautiful book covers and is an extremely supportive author friend of mine. I bought one of her books recently with two heart-warming tales and I have mentioned it below—awesome book, Miracles From the Heart, and is just one of eight books by this author. Please give Paulette a warm welcome to the fan club and comment below for your chance to win her giveaway…she is giving away 1 book of choice, to two commenters. Now give Paulette, some love! After reading this post, go to the fan club page to comment.
J. Paulette, award-winning author, lives in a small Ohio town with her husband, and two dogs. Her mornings belong to her writing, her days are spent loving her five grandbabies, and her nights belong to her husband, the inspiration for her heroes.
