Tales of Life in the Deep South During the 50s and 60s with Ellen Nichols
I had a delightful conversation with my special guest for this bonus Friday episode. We talked about her book which launched on May 3, 2022 and we touched on her process and the story behind the book. Sit back and enjoy our conversation\nEllen grew up in the American Deep South, but with a spirit of adventure, she went up to Toronto, Canada, to go to graduate school, and stayed 50 years.\nNo, she wasn\u2019t a slow student, she just ended up getting married, raising a family, and building a successful career in charitable fundraising. She has been writing for a living for years, but was always writing for someone else. Her grant proposals, direct marketing letters, and especially her thank you letters, are legend. Her persuasive writing skills raised millions of dollars. Those Canadians loved her tales about her southern life so much, she decided to write them down and they became Remember Whose Little Girl You Are.\nRecently, she moved back down south where she lives on Santa Rosa Sound near Pensacola. And yes, she is now writing about all her Canadian adventures.\nRemember Whose Little Girl You Are captures the flavor of the Deep South like no author since Eudora Welty or Flannery O'Connor. Ellen Nichols captures the tenor of small-town Southern life in the fifties and sixties, with its vicissitudes and hilarity. One is captured with her openness and drawn deeply into the dialogue-so much as to, according to one reader, sometimes feel guilty of spying. Read it and see if you want those times back-or are just relieved they're gone.\nPurchase link:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Remember-Whose-Little-Girl-You/dp/1646635140/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=\nConnect with Ellen at the following links:\nhttps://ellennichols.com/\nhttps://www.facebook.com/ellennicholsmemoir\nIf you\u2019re looking for high quality content editing services at reasonable prices, send queries to theplotstitch@gmail.com\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com\nand use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
