- Something About Me and My Book:
- Although I list Huntington as my home town, I have lived in many places during my life. I was born in Valparaiso, Indiana. My Mother had a passion for new places and new faces. This would lead us from Valpo to St Pertersburg, Florida, McArthur, Ohio, Jeffersonville, Indiana, then to Indianapolis, where we stayed until I was married. I have lived in northern Indiana with my husband, John, since 1965. We have two grown children. I have a passion for dogs. We share our home with Weezer & Dusty, our two little adopted Bichons.
I am a newly published author. My first book, "The Journey, The Dreams, & AnnaBelle" is a non-fiction work. It followes the lives of three generations of my family, beginning with my grandparents, Edgil & Minnie "Griffith" Wicker, in 1924. The story turns to the life of my mother, AnnaBelle, their second child, and the first daughter of fifteen children. Many were the heartbreaks and journeys of this family from the beautiful hills of Kentucky to their work in Indiana during WW II, including the suffering loss of four of their children.
AnnaBelle's life would be one of twists and turns that would lead her down some unbelievable paths in her life. She possessed the spirit of a gypsy as did her father. The book will follow my life with AnnaBelle, and then on to the choices I would make, some of which stay locked in my heart, yet haunt my soul. This first book contains some of my poetry written over an expance of forty years. I have also included timeline photos dating from the early 1900's. The poetry and photos follow the timeline of the book. I feel it helps bring the story to life for the readers.
I have completed my second manuscript, "AnnaBelle's Spirit". I have mailed it to the publisher. Now all I have to do is wait. This book is a follow up to the first, with a little more depth. I felt the story needed to be told in more detail. Readers of "The Journey, The Dreams & AnnaBelle" mentioned they felt it wasn't long enough, and that they were left with questions. There will be more photos, as I believe it is important to see the individuals you are reading about. There is no poetry in this book, except one I wrote for AnnaBelle. I know there are many that prefer not to read verse, therefore I will offer this book dealing entirely with the family.
I have listed my new website that is furnished through my publisher. I do have another that I have set up myself. www.csmorris47.webs.com Now I am blessed to have three to keep me busy. I love being a part of Book Marketing. - Website:

Rinnie, I have a wonderful suggestion for you! I have read these books, and they are awesome! Here is a little bit about them.
They are called "The Paradise Series" by Dr. Robert E.McGinnis. There are five books to the series:
1. A Beckoning To Paradise 2. Secrets Of Paradise 3. Paradise Is Where You Find It 4. Paradise Grows
5. Raised In Paradise
"ABOUT THE SERIES"
A young man is called by his guiding spirit to return to the land of his parents to help his people with modernization and to establish order in the lives of several different groups living in a wide range of conditions. At first his past is unknown to him because he was deserted as a baby and raised by non-family members who were unaware of his origination. The main character, Harry Raven is guided by spiritual forces that are not always apparent, but seem to offer clues and help at the right time and place. Harry Raven leaves a wonderful job in a big city to become the leader of two different Indian tribes, one ancient and one modern. When his connection to the two tribes is revealed, he will bring the two together in a way that is beneficial to both.
