Read an EBOOK Week

In Celebrating Read an Ebook week, seven of my books are half price at Smashwords.

My fellow Chicago author Anita Solick Oswald gets a shoutout! for her special story, West Side Girl, which I reviewed here.

Anita grew up in the 3rd story apartment above her family’s Bohemian restaurant on Madison Street in Chicago's west side in the 50's and 60's. The daughter of a fireman and a housewife/frustrated writer, she befriended a ragtag brigade of migrant children. Together, they found both themselves and the world-at-large on their neighborhood’s streets.

West Side Girl chronicles the colorful and oftentimes unpredictably eccentric characters and events of the area and time. Themes include social change, girls empowerment and the benefits of growing up in a diverse neighborhood. Seen through of the eyes of a child coming of age in the 1950's and 1960's, the stories of equality and social justice can be outrageous, insightful, funny, touching, inspiring and reflective.
