Poetry and Short Stories by Sue Ellis Published

Mused, BellaOnline Literary Review published two Sue Ellis poems in the 2012 summer solstice issue. Read them here, begining with a tale about her new puppy. Out and About. Then press the Next button on the poem page three times to read Running on Air , about a long-ago day on the Palouse.

The Fledgling, one of her short stories was recently reprinted at BluePrint Review. The Fledgling was first published in the fall 2010 issue of Flashquake.

The celebrated author grew up on the Palouse, and drove the ninety-mile mail route out of Rockford, before her retirement. A versitile author, Ellis publishes both prose and poetry, drawing from her experiences and memories.

Ellis lives and writes near Spokane, Washington. Her poems, short stories, book reviews and essays have appeared in publications such as The Shine Journal, Wild Violet, The Christian Science Monitor, Internew Review of Books, and The Cynic Online Magazine. She's a member of Internet Writing Workshop. 

"The Workshop is open to all styles and genres of writing: literary fiction, genre fiction, poetry, children's writing, essays, newspaper articles, scripts, you name it. Members do not need to be published writers, only to be serious about writing and about wanting to improve."

IWW also includes Writing, the list where members of all the above lists touch base to discuss writing-related subjects, and post "Yahoos."

Rockford Historical Society Says Thank You

THANK YOU MEMBERS AND FRIENDS

The Rockford Historical Society wishes to thank members and friends for their donations toward the re-roofing of the Pioneer Museum in June.  The building was built in 1894 and has served as home to many different businesses and organizations over the years.  The old roof was roughly 60 years old.

 

We also received a $2500 Heritage Fund Preservation Grant from the Spokane Preservation Advocates in support of the project. 

We hope that you will stop in and visit us.  We are open during the summer from 10-4 each Friday and Sunday until the SE Spokane County Fair in September. 

Hope to see you soon!
