In short

  • My fantasy/fiction novel is my Utopian look at the USA if events were done rather differently. The string of nonfiction is the underpinnings of my story line.  The first books name is the: 'The Great Spirit's Pledge.'

    Yet, being the thorough literary artist that I am, to get my projects to the shelf of booksellers,
         
    I retained an excellent editor 

                                               www.thewriterpro.com

    for the necessary final fixes in my grammar, syntax, and so forth.  As I poured over the pages, and knew there was more to fix.  I strongly recommend him to anyone looking for those final touches on your work.

    "The reformation was preceded by the discovery of America, as if the Almighty graciously meant to open a sanctuary to the persecuted in future years, when home should afford neither friendship nor safety." --Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

    Thank you for dropping by...I hope you stick around as my story unfolds.  Edie

  • Fame what is fame?  Similar to what is in a name?  As for me, I figure I had to live up to my given name, Edith.  Indeed, how does one behave when one is saddled with an antiquated name?  They do not for that would only kill my spirit.  For I opted for the sporty, sassy, sensitive nick name, Edie.  Now, fame is a relative/subjective term.  My claim to fame is not finished yet...stick around a while, you will see how it develops.

    Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What's a sun-dial in the shade?
