After Vivian Williams: A Musical Life came out in 2025, I helped other authors publish their work. These books differ markedly from one another--for example, they're a mix of fiction and non-fiction--but they all resemble my book about Vivian Williams in one way: They tell historical tales and they're based on the authors' or progagonists' personal recollections of events from decades past.

My Early Years: Growing Up on a Century Farm in Iowa, by Joyce (Van Roekel) Schut
Joyce Schut (nee: Van Roekel) grew up on a 120-acre family farm in a largely Dutch region of Iowa in the 1940s and 1950s. In this book, she tells the stories of her youth--on the farm, in the one-room schoolhouse, on vacation in the '49 Dodge, and in church wearing her freshly ironed Sunday best. You'll read about the family chores, the cycles of planting and harvest, the summer celebrations and family reunions, and the rhythm of the daily meals.
