Ma Bremer and others

Keep local authors in mind when you looking for a book for yourself or as a gift, and at the same time encourage hometown writers. With that in mind, Swampfox Books in Marion is hosting local authors at the Marion Arts Fair on Saturday, May 21. We will be hustling our words near the book store, 809 6th Avenue. Come, join the fun. Dale

Whew!!!

I have been a writer most of my life, but never a bloggist. Or is it blogist? It doesn't like either one. Maybe it wants plain old blogger like jogger. Anyway, here goes!

I guess I'm supposed to plug my new book, "Ma Bremer's Boys". We are told to write about what we know, and reporters run into a lot of characters over a lifetime. This is a fictional cauldron of some of these characters, and features a single mother whose many challenges include two sons bent on wayward lives -- one captured by greed and ultimately the mob, the other by a surly nature that ends up with murder and life in prison.

I hope the story illustrates, in some small way, the difficulties of single moms. This mom, Molly Bremer, faced being alone in Little Rock, first during World War II, and then a lifetime of dealing with two aberrant sons.

Please buy the book. My retirement fund needs help.
