About the authors:
MARTHA FAULKNER enjoys combining three of her greatest
loves: children, writing, and humor. She has taught elementary for over
twenty-five years and currently teaches third grade in Aledo, Texas. Martha
uses her stories to teach writing skills to her “Frog” students as she shares
her love of writing.
Martha lives with her husband Jim on a
small ranch in the West Texas town of Weatherford. She has three grown
children, two daughters-in-law, and three granddaughters with whom she looks
forward to sharing her stories.
A member of Trinity Writers Workshop
since 2000, Martha is also a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers
and Illustrators. Although the author of many short stories and humorous poems,
this is Martha’s first children’s book.
JOANNE FARIES, originally from the Philadelphia area,
lives in Texas with her husband Ray. Published in Doorknobs & Bodypaint,
she also has poems in Silver Boomer anthologies. Joanne is the film
critic for the Little Paper of San Saba. Look for her humorous memoir My
Zoo World: If All Dogs Go to Heaven, Then I'm in Trouble, a story
collection Wordsplash Flash and three poetry books - Wordsplash
Poetry Puddle: Nature, Hazy Memory, and Tread Water on Amazon.
NANCY LYNN was born in Fort Worth, Texas, grew up in the countryside west of the
city, and returned to live in Fort Worth. She attended TCU and has a degree in
education. Although she worked in banking for many years, she is also a
contract writer and continues her hobby of writing short stories. THE
AIREDALE'S TALES is told by Bentley the Airedale, who lived with Nancy Lynn for
12+ years. You will see that he was a charmer and a rascal and wanted to share
his adventures about life on earth (Fort Worth in particular) with everyone who
reads about them. Be prepared to laugh and maybe cry a little as you read THE
AIREDALE'S TALES.
ANN SUMMERVILLE, author of A Graceful Death and Grandmother’s
Flower Garden, was born in England, and in search of a warmer climate, moved to
California before settling in Texas. Her
short stories and flash fiction have been published in the Lutheran Digest,
Long Story Short, The Shine Journal, Doorknobs & Bodypaint, Associated Content,
Trinity Writers’ Workshop newsletters and also their collection of Christmas
stories. Ann resides in Fort Worth with
her son, two boisterous dogs and a somewhat elusive cat and is currently
working on her 9th cozy mystery.
It's always nice to learn more about writers' lives. Thanks, Joanne. And you critique films too? That must be fun.
