Tales from The Past

As I age and speak to men and women who have lived long and interesting lives, it occurred to me that their stories should be saved. Written down. Who among my blog readers lived before 1920? I'm making that the cut off date for Tales from the Past.

Have you memories to share with others who might not have experienced the life you lived? For instance, did you live during prohibition when booze was in great demand on both sides of the Canadian and United States borders? I'd like to hear from you. I have to start Tales from The Past somewhere so let's begin.

Please send me your stories and we'll jump start this blog with your tales. Short is better than long but if your story is very, very interesting, I'll edit it and post it on the blog. If Tales from The Past, proves captivating and readers want more, we might have a book! Whoever sends in a story will be credited as the author.

I await to hear from you. I love stories. I am sad to think of so much history being lost if the stories are not captured and made available to future generations. History is not about dates and what famous personages did this or that. History is stories about real people living real lives.

My idea about prohibition stories is one idea. What tales do you have to tale about the "roaring twenties" or the market collapse in the late 1920's or surviving the thirties during the depression years?

I'm Anita Birt. I have five romance novels published by Cerridwen Press. I am remembering the past. What do you remember?
