Poet Ronda Miller Reading and Book Signing at Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore

Emporia, KS: Ronda Miller will share from her third and latest book of poetry, WaterSigns, with a reading and book signing at Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore, 1122 Commercial, on Saturday, September 23, from 1-2pm. The book was published by Meadowlark Books of Emporia and sells for $15.

“Miller’s collection, WaterSigns, charts water’s path for plainspeople—water in the aquifer, water in the clouds, water in the field ditches and in the bird’s beak and in the mother’s womb. In this way, Miller’s collection is a celebration of life’s true blood, and Miller gets the people and the flora and fauna of Kansas-country right, right down to the dew drops on grass blades,” writes Kansas Poet Laureate, Kevin Rabas.

A Life in Progress Book Release Party Scheduled at Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore

Emporia, KS: Award-winning author, Tracy Million Simmons, will hold a release party and book signing at Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore, 1122 Commercial, on Thursday, September 14, from 4-6pm. Readers are invited to come and go. Her newest book is a collection of short stories titled, A Life in Progress. The book is being published by Meadowlark Books of Emporia and sells for $15.

In this collection of short stories, Simmons captures slices of life, glimpses of everyday people and everyday thoughts and actions, and the many moments—touching, amusing, happy, and sad—of lives in progress. This book is an intimate peek into a writer’s stash, written across the decades, an experience of timelessness and the human condition. Through fiction, these stories reveal relatable truths.

 About the book, Cheryl Unruh writes, “Tracy Million Simmons shows clearly the moving parts of relationships. Her stories reveal the irreversible ties of family. She shows the push-and-pull between spouses, between parent and child, between dear friends, and we see how we’re all recklessly and joyfully bound one to another.”

A Life in Progress and Other Short Stories will be available after the release party from Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore and through any book retailer. It can also be ordered direct from the publisher, Meadowlark Books, Emporia, Kansas. Learn more at www.meadowlark-books.com.
