Really looking forward to being on a panel about Writing Authentic Intergenerational stories this year for the Write Hive writing conference with so many other great authors.

If you haven’t participated in Write Hive, you should- IT’S FREE! That’s right… a free writing conference!

While on the panel, I will be referring to two books where I utilized writing authentic intergenerational stories:

Queen (already published, available on Amazon)

https://www.amazon.com/Queen-Suzanne-Crain-Miller/dp/1541076532

Queen Mae Braxton, a newly transgendered woman and her partner, Lisa, have made a nice life for themselves in Florida. When Lisa inherits her family’s diner in her hometown of Murfeessboro, Tennessee, however, the two are eager to have their own business, and naively relocate. As fate would have it, their house sits across from one Charlotte Grace Danby, a privileged yet depressed thirteen year old who never expected to lay eyes on, nevertheless meet anyone as electric as Queen. From the moment Charlotte Grace spots her new neighbor teetering on stilettos, chasing her Chihuahua, her curiosity is piqued… They develop an uncanny friendship, but when it creates deadly upheaval, will Charlotte Grace defy her roots or will she stay silent, causing Queen to face untold misery?

Souvenir, (upcoming in 2024 with Inked In Gray)

Boys have been disappearing in and around McAllen, Texas for years. Their cases go cold with very few new leads to ever warm them. When the mother of one of those boys, Janna Carelson, attempts to get on with the childless life that’s been left to her, new information about her son emerges.  It’s a shot in the dark, yet Janna knows if there’s even a chance her son is alive, she must re open old wounds to follow the trail. The answers will not only be far from easy – they could just be the serrated shards that shred what’s left of her life and the lives of all those around her.

Told uniquely in rotating cycles of The Mother, The Dumpsterdiver, and The Janitor, each in a different point of view, Souvenir is intricately crafted to keep the reader eager to turn pages in order to piece together the fate of the characters.
