LAGUNA HILLS, Calif. - Californer -- Publisher, professor, professional editor—these are a handful of the many hats author Mary Vensel White wears, and it might just have something to do with why the twelve, award-winning short stories in her new collection focus on life's turning points.
Mary explains that she wrote these stories during a painful and tumultuous time—during the ending of a long marriage and her transition into a career in teaching, publishing, and writing. She says, "Of course, I knew I was unhappy in some ways and craving change, but I didn't realize how seismic it would be." The stories in the collection mirror these dramatic shifts.The author says the stories, "seemed to flow from one to the next, as though I was looking at something from many angles."
