Editors Pick Award
The winner of our 2013 "Editor's Pick" Writing Contest is............ "Everything's Coming Up Clover", by Dora Preston! Published with love by Dora's daughter, Glenys Preston Blackburn, this is a heart-warming read, rich with shrewd insight and irresistible charm about a senior woman 'thrown' by her family into a retirement centre. It's Lucy Arnez in book form! Burst out-loud laughter will follow. Available at Amazon, Createspace, and Barnes and Noble
Ann Westlake ~ Writer's Cramp Editing Consultants
A Review by Ursula Maxwell-Lewis
Author Dora Preston's legacy lives on thanks to friends like Ruth Kozak, and her editor, Ann Westlake. "Everything's Coming up Clover" chronicles delightful escapes lead by a wickedly irrepressible senior, and was written by Dora before she died of cancer three years ago. On Sunday afternoon a large crowd gathered at Renaissance Books Store in New Westminster for this book launch. Clearly Dora's Yorkshire sense of fun and kindness earned her much love and respect. If you enjoy British humour, Dora will make you chuckle, and - like me - you'll wish she'd been your friend, too. Well done, Ruth, Ann and Dora.
