New Kid's View
Family lured Jerrianne and her husband to South Milwaukee in 2002 from Southern California where she worked as, first, a journalist, then, as a court information officer. She now stays busy with media-relations consulting, playing with her three grandchildren (part of the lure), writing, discovering her new environs, and hoping her garden will produce before the first fall frost.
South Milwaukee: Literary Enclave Thanks to Newly Published Author
Hear this:
South Milwaukee author publishes new book!
Bobbie Groth's "The Incredible Story of Ephraim Nute: Scandal, Bloodshed and Unitarianism on the American Frontier" is an account of her ancestor, who was a Unitarian minister and a founder of the University of Kansas during the mid-1850s bloody abolition-versus-slavery era in Kansas.
A description of the book and pre-order information is at the publisher's website: http://www.uuabookstore.org/productdetails.cfm?PC=1346
Bobbie, prolific award-winning children's author Janet Halfmann (http://www.janethalfmann.com/) and me makes at least three published authors in South Milwaukee. (My "Anatomy of a Trial" was published by University of Missouri Press a couple of years ago.
Methinks South Milwaukee can add literary mecca to its other claims to fame.
Do we have other South Milwaukee authors? Please let me know so I can include you and your book in a blog post.
Congratulations, Bobbie, on your fantastic accomplishment!
