Interview with Author – Barbara Hawkins
About Barbara Hawkins: How to tell you about myself without sounding like I’m interviewing for a job? Well, I have an active mind that doesn’t stop when I go to sleep.

She knew he was stationed in Sri Lanka, but she … [Read more...] about Interview with Author – Barbara Hawkins

That is where the real history lies, in the individual stories. During World War II, Great Britain would have seemed to be the logical place to house … [Read more...] about “The Ship to Shawano” by M. W. Tyrrell
