A hometown newspaper with a local office, local owners & lots of local news
Mary Alice Carlson of Mahtowa has compiled a series of her most memorable stories in “Under the Pine Boughs — Short Stories of Homespun Living.”
Carlson will hold her first book signing at the Carlton County Senior Health Fair on Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at St. Matthews Lutheran Church in Esko.
Carlson has been a featured writer in The Senior Reporter with her personal memoirs for over 10 years. During that time she has won multiple national Awards of Achievement from the North American Mature Publishers Association.
The book contains 38 short stories with titles such as “Spring on the Farm,” “Facing the Sun,” and “Coming Home.”
“Our readers often tell me how impacted they are by Mary Alice’s inspirational stories,” said The Senior Reporter editor Burton Laine. “This will be a great Christmas gift for anyone who enjoys stories of country living that tug on the heartstrings.”
Her books can be purchased directly from Carlson locally or on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com or the xulonpress.com book site.
