A Writer's Journey

I’m Gracie Chandler—retired teacher, book lover, short story writer, the creator of this newsletter—Fountain Pen Tales—and the author of Free to Be, an historical fiction novel. My writing journey has been long and winding. To learn more about my path to becoming an author, tune in to an interview done by Young Adult author Stacey Horan on her Podcast The Bookshop at the End of the Internet . The interview will be available December 12, on http://www.staceyhoran.com/my-podcast . Hope you’ll listen in!  
About Fountain Pen Tales

The Fountain Pen Tales Newsletter was created with two goals in mind:

  • To share memories of a by-gone era through stories, essays, poems, book reviews and interviews.
  • To uncover the imprecise reporting of some historical events and learn the truth about them.
