What Do You Love?
I love history, especially stories of unsung heroes. I love to hear and tell their stories so they can get the recognition they deserve. The Indiana Arts Commission and the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library hosted a display, inviting folks to submit their art to answer the question... What Do You Love? I submitted my book, James and the Marquis...the Unlikely Friendshop of Two Lafayettes for the month long display. I was thrilled to learn that all submissions were judged and my book was among the winners. Huzzah for History!
