I am at Gwen Plano’s place today. Her blog is titled Fiction and life . . . from the desk of Gwen M. Plano. She volunteered to host the second stop on the  Detour on the Eternal Road tour. Of course, I jumped on the offer. Here is a link to her post.

Gwen and I have known each other since the beginning of our blogging days. We were a team on a Blog Talk Radio show and co-authored the thriller The Contract.

Here is more about Gwen in her words

Gwen M. Plano

“As for my professional background, I am a retired educator. I taught and served as an administrator in colleges in Japan, New York, Connecticut, and California. My academic background is a bit unusual, but it has served me well. I graduated with honors in nutrition from San Diego State University. I was awarded a master’s degree in theology from the University of the State of New York’s Maryknoll Seminary and then received a master’s in counseling from Iona College. Finally, I earned a doctorate in higher education from Columbia University.

Between travels with my husband and visits with family and friends, I now write. My first book, LETTING GO INTO PERFECT LOVE, Discovering the Extraordinary After Abuse, was published in June 2014 by She Writes Press and has just been re-published by the Fresh Ink Group. My second book, THE CONTRACT between heaven and earth, is co-authored by John W. Howell and was published by Keewayden Books  on June 1, 2018. My third book, THE CHOICE the unexpected heroes, was published June 4, 2019 by Fresh Ink Group. THE CULMINATION a new beginning was also published by the Fresh Ink Group on November 23, 2020.  REDEMPTION, was published by the Fresh Ink Group on February 21, 2023. Followed by my latest, The Gift and The Soul Whisper’s Decision.

Though writing is an accomplishment of no small measure for me, my greatest treasure and most profound source of joy has been and is my four adult children. It is they who have guided me through life’s mysteries.”

I hope you will visit Gwen’s post, as I have turned off comments here. Thank you.
