Hello Charles, good to see you on the MV site. Congratulations on all you've accomplished since high school and the support you've given to others. Thank you for your service to our country. It's amazing where life takes us. Hope to see you sometime at a class reunion. Diane
With Christmas just days away, I'm sending thanks to all my Mounds View classmates who have purchased copies of my books, attended my book signings and posted positive reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Your support is truly a gift and inspires me to keep writing. In October 2017, I released the third book in my historical fiction series, On Liberty's Wings: A Post-WWII Novel. I'm doing a signing at the Roseville Barnes & Noble in Har Mar Mall on Sunday, January 21, 2018 at 2:00 PM. Hope to see some of you there. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year!
