Adirondack Gold is young
adult historical fiction, but, says reviewer John Rowen,
"Strong writing and research make it highly recommended for
readers of any age who are interested in the Adirondacks,
19th century New York history or rural life." Sunday
Gazette, March 21, 2004. It works for kids from 9-99.
Adirondack Gold II: A Summer of Strangers is an
Adirondack coming-of-age story set in 1898, the tale of a
young boy faced with difficult choices at a time when his
family members--his usual support network--are unavailable
to provide the guidance and help he needs. A story of
aspirations, budding environmental awareness and love of
family are woven together as intrigue builds in this novel.
Suitable for age 12 through adult. Author Adrian Fogelin has
described it, “…a portrait of a bygone era so rich in
authentic detail that the reader can almost smell the cut
hay, feel the icy water of the stream on bare feet…”. The
moving accounts in Shared Stories from Daughters of
Alzheimer's: Writing a Path to Peace comprise a
"support group in print for families dealing with
Alzheimer's disease. |

Lake George has everything -- scenic
beauty, a fascinating history and great topics for a mystery
series. In
Best Laid Plans, my 2006 Lake George Mystery, murder
again disturbs the peace of Emerald Point and Mayor Loren
Graham risks her life to uncover the killer. In
Beneath the Surface
(2005) the town observes the 250th anniversary of the French
and Indian War, and Georgia O'Keeffe's giant flower paintings
play a key role in An Affinity for Murder,
nominated as a 2002 Malice Domestic Best First Mystery.
Anne's fourth mystery is Secrets Dark and Deep. |
