Alice Wootson's
Romantic Interlude




About Alice Wootson

Like my sister, BET author Marilyn Tyner, I was born in Rankin, PA, a small town outside of Pittsburgh.

I came to the Philadelphia area to attend Cheyney University. After I graduated, I began teaching, first in Chester, PA and then in Philadelphia.

I have been an avid reader since I learned to read. I read a variety of genres, but most of what I read is romance. (I like happy endings).

I began writing poetry when I was in grade school and I still do. In fact, an agent told me that my work was too poetic to sell commercially. (Two days later I received a call from Karen Thomas at Arabesque asking if my manuscript was still available because she liked it).

The manuscript was SNOWBOUND WITH LOVE, and when I hear from readers, they tell me how much they like the fact that it was so poetic.

I didn't do much writing while our children were young, but I did write an occasional short story. After they were grown and computers became readily available, I began writing in earnest. Now, I can't stop; I have all of these people poking me and nagging me to write their stories.

I retired from teaching and now write full time.

I'm active in the Mad Poet's Organization and a board member of the Philadelphia Writer's Conference.

Hi Everybody [Anybody?],

First, some serious stuff. For some reason I cannot access my mail at: agwwriter@email.com I have gone to the mail.com people & they can't help. My son, who has a degree in Computer Science was unable to get in, so I have to count it as lost. All of my email addresses, pending things; everything I had there; are gone. WOW!!!

My new address is: agwwriter@gmail.com. From now on, when I get a group of e-mail addresses I will print them out. Nothing like hard copy!! A PAPER copy!!!

We had a fabulous PWC Conference and I'm not just saying this because I'm on the board! One of our speakers was Solomon Jones and he was great and he's a nice guy. Does he have a story to tell! A few years ago he and I were at a group autograph signing. Of course, he has gone much further & he is better known.

I haven’t heard from the agent nor editor, but I am hard at work on the third book of a Border Patrol Agents series. This one is Border Trouble and it will join Border Love and Border Danger. Hopefully they will all see the light of day.

I am planning to participate in my church, Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church's Fit Walk again this year, be The Good Lord willing. This will be my fifth. It will be July 23rd and is about 4 1/2 miles, a LOT of which is UPHILL. The funds raised always go to a charity. This year it's for Sickle Anemia. It was one of the hottest day of the year last year; the temperature reached 95. I’m hoping for a cooler day. The thing that helped was we finished before the hottest part of the day. We step off at 8 and are finished about 10. No, I have never been the last to finish.

Soon, Kindred Spirits will be reissued. It will join Perfect Wedding, Ready to Take a Chance, To Love Again, Aloha Love, Dream Wedding and Snowbound With Love. They can be ordered through any bookstore, Amazon &, of course, through I-Universe.

Now on a sad note: In case you haven't heard, Leslie Esdale (L.A. Banks) is critically ill. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

I guess that'’s it. Keep on reading and I'll keep on writing.

Alice
