My new poetry book will be advertised for discounted, pre-publication orders for the next several weeks. The press has made this easy way for you to read about it and to place an order. The book is the story of my 3rd-great-grandmother and her life and times in Virginia, Ohio, and Illinois. But I've also interwoven our family's travels and events with hers, for shared family places. The title comes from the fact that my ancestor died on Holy Tuesday of 1847, and her daughter wrote a letter on Good Friday about her death. Also, during Holy Week there was a lot going on in the Mexican War (that still reverberates in our current immigration issues). But some of my poems are funny! So it's not all pioneer hardship.
