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.
I’m excited to be part of the October 11th Children’s Book Promotion. On party day, there will be a lot of discounted and free books available from various authors here. I will introduce everyone to Timothy the Christmas Mouse by way of a “FREE” eBook which you will be able to get here on the day of the event (https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-Christmas-Mouse-Virginia-Wright-ebook/dp/B01858V55M). Timothy the Christmas Mouse is now available in paperback and due to popular demand, an adorably illustrated coloring book companion was created. I hope you like the eBook so much you want to buy the storybook in paperback and the coloring book. I want to make note that the eBook does not do the paperback justice. The paperback is so adorable…it is one of my favorite writing and illustration projects that I have done to date. The coloring book makes for a great Christmas Eve coloring book for kids. The story is a nice children’s story before going off to sleep in anticipation of Christmas morning.
