  Meet Writers Exchange Author, Karen Wiesner:⁠ ⁠ "I'm a lifelong reader. I remember nostalgically lazy days as a child, too young to have worldly cares, let alone responsibilities, opening a book and getting lost in the story. Flash-forward to adult life, and those moments of bliss curling up with a book are few and far between. ⁠ ⁠ "Back when I was a new mother trying to juggle a full-time career as a published author, reading was something I…

James Dressler

This novel was a very long time in coming but was probably inevitable.  Like many Southerners of my generation, my childhood was steeped in family stories of ancestors' activities during the War of Northern Aggression.  Northerners don't seem to share this experience in quite the same way, perhaps because the war was fought, for the most part, in the South.  This then is a Southern novel, written from the Southern perspective.  It couldn't have been otherwise. In a larger sense,…

I started writing stories and poems when I received my first diary at the age of nine. Through the years I've filled many diaries with my scribbles, drawings and observations. In college I studied history and archaeology…
