Looking to the Future

With family around this past weekend for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration, a new inspiration has begun to form for a series of books based in the Branson/Hollister/Ozark region. The "Bill Leverne" authored fiction works all represent basically my work, but are also family collaborations... therefore the use of the pen-name. This series will fall in that category, as well.

Two elements of the book concept will include: 1) examining the benefits as well as conflicts coming out of the sources of the current persons in the community (locals {at least two generations}, visitors, part-time residents, first generation full-time residents (retired and still working), and 2) the strong seasonality of the region - the community personality changes with the seasons. While stories are based on persons, plot and place, it seems I generally start with place. Interesting!

Comments welcomed.

Happy Reading! ;-)

Third Book now in final form

The George and Hannah Kinnick Family History book is now in final form and is available at the Storefront at lulu.com: http://stores.lulu.com/drbillshares
There was some conflict on cover title and storefront title to work out with the wider distribution chain folks. That is not laid to rest, presumably. This is the new cover and correct title.


This book is fully indexed for ease of reference in finding your family members.

July Update

Total book sales have now reached 48 - just 2 more to make 50!

You now have three books to choose from, all in the Kinnick Family History Series.

Work has begun on the Michael Smith Family History book.

It also appears that the "Back to the Homeplace" novel may become a trilogy. Stay tuned.

Happy Reading! ;-)

George and Hannah (Grimes) Kinnick Family History - Update

Finished the first pass on this book this week - index done, helpers list created, finished introduction and checked pages, etc. Did the cover... new processes are some good, some not so good. Did the back cover. Ran a sample copy... should get it first of next week.

Get ready to put in your order in a week or so, if all goes well.


Happy Reading! ;-)

Still working on the Index!

My retirement move has taken up most time and energy over the past two weeks. I have continued to work on the index I mentioned in my last post, a half hour, an hour, on several evening and days. It is a long process, but well worth the effort... I'm at about page 105 of 118, or so, at this point.

We now live in the Missouri Ozarks, in the town of Hollister, near Branson. Looking forward to much more time to write and publish, as we get settled in.

Happy Reading! ;-)
