Here, there, & yonder / by Alleghany Writers Critique Group.; Bodeen, Kayauthor.; Davis, Prattauthor.; Mellow-Irwin, Suzanneauthor.(CARDINAL)614485; Joines, Eldonauthor.; Moretz, Elaineauthor.; Walker, Joanieauthor.;
Six disparate (not necessarily desperate) writers who meet each week to critique each other's work decided to create an anthology of their writings. Thus evolved Here, There, & Yonder, which encompasses fiction, life-changing challenges, travel, introspection, and memories of treasured times, people, and places. Join the Alleghany Writers Critique Group on a trip to Saudi Arabia with Elaine Moretz when tensions flared in the Middle East. And enjoy Suzanne Irwin's quirky sisters in "The Good Same Caper" or Eldon Joines's account of the hunting trip gone awry. Cruise with Kay Bodeen through Dutch canals, appreciate the everyday in Pratt Davis's "The Mysterious," and fly across the Chesapeake Bay on a wing and a prayer with Joanie Walker. Plus so much more. Enjoy!
