Celebrated writers, famous personages, write memoir. First person fiction is the memoir of the uncelebrated writer; the poor, struggling, author. One might even find the need to add a few fictions when life has been sheltered, conservative, or uneventful. Separating fact from fiction? Hey, I’ll never tell, believe what you will. As they say, “Truth is stranger than fiction!” I will admit, however; as a writer I have found the best way to tell if a plot or event is plausible or believable, is if it really happened to me or to someone I know.

I have one grown-up work of relational fiction almost ready to go to press and two on the back burner.

The Bed; or Things an anthology of my life  (working title) deals with communication, relationship and pervasive, sometimes unacknowledged, co-dependence. 210 pages – in search of a publisher.

The Cemetery Wives is gentle, easy read, feel good, Christian Fiction, sort of in the spirit of Jan Karon’s Mitford books; chronicling struggles and frugalities of seminary life for young couples with children. 20 pages so far and may go to 300.

Relatively Mine is still in the planning stages; topics include romance and remarriage after widowhood in the golden years.

The Pancake Cat, 150 page work of children’s fiction, is in print; self-published and widely read and endorsed by the 20 people to whom I gave it as a Christmas gift.

THE PANCAKE CAT WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM XLIBRIS IN NOVEMBER 2009! Follow this link to read a chapter http://www2.xlibris.com/book_excerpt.asp?bookid=66506
