Produktbeschreibung

Beyond the endless ocean lies a valley. It has no match anywhere else on earth. At its center stands a villagequiet and neatly ordered. What an outsider would describe as a "picturesque." But this valley also harbors a secret, a secret that has given birth to the "Gawkers" from above who gather regularly about the valley rim to jeer and stare at the strange inhabitants below.

As our story unfolds, those "above" and those "below" live separate lives. Each group having long since decided that they are sufficient unto themselves. But Mother Nature has other plans and has taken it upon herself to test this ocean land to its core. The Gawkers who live upon the hills and plains have been caught unawares. Not so the people of the valley. Mother Nature similarly visited them three centuries earlier and they have prepared. But even they cannot escape the scourge forever, especially when they realize that the Gawkers hold a critical piece to their survival.

"The Salt People" is the story of two seemingly opposite communities caught up in an event over which neither has control. To survive the crisis they have two choices: the first leads to destruction; the other to cooperation and the outwitting of a common enemy.

Autorenporträt

I believe in the common man and woman and look to them for our common future. I am a philosopher and an author. I am also a mother and grandmother. I spent twenty years in the fields of print and electronic media. That being said, my story is far from simple. I have held at least 15 different jobs and lived in too many places to count. In the mid 80s I traveled to Hamburg and Geneva to collect video footage in pursuit of the now defunct Super Conducting Super Collider. In 2002 I was off to Okinawa, Japan, in pursuit of radon gas on military bases. I have worked in both the public and private sectors and have come to respect all who labor to make our world work.

I was born in the Illinois heartland when its wheels were oiled by factories, farmers and coal miners. In my middle years I moved to Colorado--a long-cherished dream from my childhood. I now live in Indiana near my family, children and grandchildren. I began writing seriously in 1979 and have never stopped. I have completed several novels, short stories and poems. In 2016, at a colleague's suggestion, I set my mind to eBook publishing through Smashwords distributors. I look forward to the next chapter of my life's journey!
