Guinea Pig League: Captured!
Writing for Pleasure
by Joan Walmsley
Joan Walmsley is the mother of Frances Prentice, and has been her inspiration. She has participated in and led writing groups for over 40 years, and continues to do so in her late eighties. She has written to capture memories, express emotions and share her appreciation of life.
This delightful anthology has a mixture of beautifully crafted poetry, fascinating memoirs, interesting essays and enjoyable short stories. It is a celebration of everyday life and the unique nature of the individual.
Her honesty shines through in her simple and straightforward approach, and I am sure many will relate to her experiences.
Illustrated with photographs of Joan and her family, it will be treasured by both family and friends alike and would be enjoyed by all.
It will be available soon on Amazon KDP.
Edited and published by Frances Prentice.
BLURB:
Dear Noah, I miss you so, so much.
Living on a drought-stricken farm, Millie has a lot going on. Life as a pre-teen brings big, mixed feelings, but with friends, family and the school chaplain she just might make it through.
Millie’s baby brother, Noah, was stillborn 4 years ago. She writes to him in Heaven, confiding her anxieties when her parents announce they are going to have another baby.
Millie is both excited and scared. What if this baby dies like Noah did? What if something happens to her mum?
Millie learns to take life day-by-day and that even in storms there are sometimes rainbows.
