In the Works
There are always many writing projects on the go, whether partially done on my computer or somewhere in the editing/publishing stage. Here are some of the things currently “in the works:”
A Picture of the Past
Book Six of The Adventure Diaries
Looking at the envelope, she wondered what this one would be before tearing it open. The letter, with the attached photocopied picture, had Ailith putting down her fork. She sat up and peered closely at the people in the picture, then reread the short note.
To Ailith Hubbard,
I’m sending you a photocopy of a picture I ran across while going through some donated memorabilia. Our museum is an archive that houses the histories of our local families and the families that settled our land, making it what it is today.
As you can see, the young woman in the photo bears a distinct resemblance to you, and according to the names on the back of the photo, you can clearly see the name ‘Ailith’ along with the date ‘1859.’
I can only surmise that, in some way, your family is related. I thought this might be an intriguing mystery for you to solve.
The name of the family who donated the photos is Preston. They arrived in America in 1840.
I intend to delve deeper into the included papers and the history of this family. Perhaps together, we can find a connection.
Yours truly,
James Grier
Curator and Historian
COMING 2027
(Book is being written.)
